The moment you mentioned adding in graphics to spice up the area I was immediately like "PARTICLES." Which, you ended up doing a shader, but if you feel you need that extra little oomph, I can see some glowing little bugs/particles bringing a whole nother layer to the Emerald Forest. Keep it up!
Woah! This is some phenomenal stuff, really! The art here is on an entirely different level. Animations? Fluid and fun to look at. Backgrounds? Genuinely interesting yet subtle enough as to not distract you. The minimap looks great, I love the 4 tiny arrows on the side, it really adds depth and spices things up. I think it'd be nice to have a way to open it up further and interact with the entire map, and I think things like a compass and key to each icon would help with visual clarity. Maybe you could make the map something that the character physically has? It would add a canonical reason as to why we can see the surrounding area, and I think people appreciate logical explanations for gameplay mechanics. The trials are awesome; great idea! I love that they're a tree, it really sets them apart from any similar mechanics in other games. Love the overall atmosphere and aesthetic, the forest is a great setting and one I don't see utilized much in games with random generation! Great work dude, keep it up.
I feel compelled to mention that not only do I love these two devlogs you've released for this game, but also that your sense of humor with these videos is so refreshingly funnier than most other devlogs I watch
I love the little doodles and art in general in this video, the particles and animations are really incredible, so much style and polish in the game already! Also I love the Katana Zero music.
OH SHOOT I just recently watched the last devlog and thought since it was such a long time ago you'd given up on the project I'm so glad your back because this game lookin hella fun... I've watched so many devlogs and none of them have been something I would actually plate except for this game and of course karlsson and the newer game that game endeavor is working on looks fun but yeah good fucking job please keep going
Yo small suggestion, you're making crazy amounts of progress in each video which is great, but from a viewers perspective I would love to have seen a bit more of the process you went through creating each piece (creating your character and animating it, fine tuning your attack to feel right, creating the enemies, the cool object based solution to your moving trees, etc). This would allow you to make more, shorter videos to post to your channel more often but this would also mean a lot more video time and less game dev time which I totally understand might not be the goal here, just thought I'd share. It looks great and I love the vibe you've created with your character and how smooth and satisfying the movement/combat looks! Can't wait for the next devlog!
it looks really good already. Also love the part where you are coding at 3:29 XD. and for the map you could just do some sort of fullscreen, where you can see where you have been already, and that it saves the important things that you've not interected with yet, like the chests and stuff.
The game looks amazing! The color palete for the grass realy makes the player pop. Although, the forest would feel more nartual with some lakes or just some insect or birds flying around. Great game, this realy inspired me to work on my art skills so my games could look as good as yours.
In some cases the Trial Trees were being generated too close to each other imo, they could be more spread apart. I assume the red circles around them at 5:42 control that "spreadness". Also, love the main character and the animations, very fluid and seems great to control.
Man, congrats for comming up with something like this. I'm in love with the art of your game and with the mechanics so far. Totally a game I would play!
just discovered this great channel! i love the "jump on enemys and kick them in the ass" mechanic! also the visuals are insane dude gj! im definitely gonna subscribe
I really wish you would have gone over the generation, i feel like that would have been the most interesting part. You have to think about your viewer base the people that watch indie dev logs are probably other programmers / gamemakers so that kind of thing is actually going to be the most interesting for the viewer base of a channel like this. I know because when i was just a gamer i never watched channels like this but know that im learning programming i like to watch dev logs to motivate me to keep learning.
This game looks sick, but I'd add some grass or small decorations to destroy. Just like in archvale or Hollow Knight. It will add some great juice to your game.
The game's looking awesome so far! That move where you grab an enemy and aim to launch them is really cool! Loving the graphics so far and your use of shaders to give life to the trees was a cool idea! Keep it up! I also create devlogs and gamedev content, so exploring this corner of RUclips has been a blast! Always great to stumble upon channels like yours to see what other gamedev content creators are doing and to keep myself motivated! Looking forward to seeing more!
should add some weird creatures that are just wild life in the world area or in the trees / flying around / bodies of water with a reflection to make it feel a bit more like a lived in world instead of a world with enemies just my opinion though , looking great with the improvements already the ground design is slick keep slaying it
how about a horse? Something you can summon at any point to move really fast across the vast stretches so you're not just spending all of your dashes to travel. Maybe to trade off, the horse can handle differently or maybe simply not allow the player to attack while on it but it can help make the game feel faster and deal with those gaps and allow exploration to feel less of a chore having to dash around constantly. Loving all your videos bro! doing a great job!
I like the art design and the gameplay, and the style you're going for makes me think that the concept can be expanded. I believe it has potential for a great story too.
Yo man, that game looks so good and fun to play, the map (without all the new enemies) feels a bit empty tough. Lets see how it will look in a couple of devlogs. I mean, that map needs to be "empty" in some point, it doesn' t have to feel too much filled with stuff (else it would be really tiring to look at it), but not so empty to seem flat and dead. I'm sure that the new enemies will add so much to the game. Can't look forward to see them
I love the look of the game, and hey, who doesn't love a pixel art rogue like! Really looking forward to seeing how your game will turn out! Keep at it!
You did a great job on the game and the video, you should check out Risk of rain. He’s and idea, what if the bosses was just this big gang leader of sorts who would ambush the player until the it takes a certain amount of damage and retreats with a smurky remark. Only to ambush you again as you progress thru the level. Until you defeat them, with a bounty of rewards themed to them. These bosses could also be mythical creatures Stalking the player. Like a wendigo, or babayaga, with intense boss fights. some SCP creatures are super fascinating and could draw attention. I wish you the best of luck, and look forward to seeing more.
Please make more videos like this. I loved the character design video and this style is insane. But after this video I was way more interested in the coding behind and the progress the game makes. Please please please upload more videos about your games or maybe just some awesome graphics on Instagram as I felt sooooo much inspired by these graphics.
That's really incredible work! For the distribution of the interesting things on the map, you might want to look into blue noise (aka poisson disk sampling) that gives you a trade off between completely random and more regular patterns.
I think the inclusion of magic would be a good fit for this game, magic would consume mana just like the gun, you can only have one spell and can replace them with books which can be found on enemy drops and chest, these are the spells I can think of; Heal: heal 2hp, Phase: dash a longer distance and damages enemies if dashed through (will replace dash), Shockwave: release a pulse of mana damaging enemies by a small amount and pushes them back (will destroy enemy projectiles), Mana sword: will only be active for a short time and consumes all mana, allows the user to slash through enemies quickly and does 2x the damage also release mana slashes which can go a long distance, this is just an idea but I feel it could benefit your game please reply to me if you feel the same, thank you for your time.
Maybe to encourage a fast play style, holding the dead enemy for too long causes it so explode and damage the player. Anyways, looks awesome! So much juice!
Looks pretty sweet man! Keep goin on this one n post to Steam if ya get enough in it. I'd buy just to support probably. I have the same issue of never bn able to finish my games! lol. Been workin on one for like 5 yrs now though n gettin further along w it. Good luck!
You’re game looks AMAZING I really hope it can come out on switch but I understand if that’s too hard/ambitious for a one dev studio, but if it does then you have my money
Oh i just subscribed today bc i saw your last video and this game looked very cool but i thought hmm 4 months ago, hopefully he continues with this game and here we go :> keep it up man, looks amazing and another question (ik its pretty early): will this game perhaps have multiplayer? i would really enjoy playing this with a friend c: and for later maybe a idea (would also help if you invent coop) would be adding different characters/classes im curious to see what this game will turn into. 👍
i have a small suggestion for the trial system, i like the idea that you kill all the enemies in the wave, but what if you made it so you have to throw the final enemy at the trial tree thingo to finish it, anywhere else thrown, or killing the enemy normally, will just resummon the enemy. idk i feel like that would be cool.
I LOVE the art! The fluidity of movement feels/looks very good! Can't wait to play it!!! How big is your map? I ask because I sort of want to know the limits. lol
I love the overall art style! Especially the Trial Tree looks really dope! Are you looking into making music for the game and if yes, do you want to do it yourself or are you planning on working together with someone? Because I'd be really stoked to work on your project, I think it gives off a fantastic feeling and it would be very cool to incorporate that into music! :D
This looks awesome, but I do hope that you find a way to diverge maybe just a little more from hollow knight and hyper light drifter, maybe you could add something like dead cells? I’m only suggesting this since it’s very similar to hyper light drifter in its combat, but keep going (Also ori and the will of the wisps was still a great game even though it is was notably close to hollow knight in some of its mechanics)
You should add items in the game, that once collected they even give some kind of buff, it would also be nice if there were several characters with different gameplay, I think the name of the game could be something more dramatic like Risk of rain or something similar
just thought it would be cool if you could chain the sould throwing ability, kinda like dominos. Bascically like if you throw the person into another low health person they than bounce. Than again i dont know anything bout anything, love what your doing though

Finally. Been waiting for this for so long. Too bad its only six minutes tho
Gf says the same thing :(
Definitely see big things in the future for Green Box Games. Great work so far!
Keeping my eye on this, would play the fuck out of it.
the trials system looks super cool! I can't wait to see more
I agree! The animations for the tree are so well done.
I absolutely love the whole trial start animation, feels like sm really sick is about to happen.
god damn, this is literally all my favorite games in one
I can f#!@ing feel that you are going to be legend just look at that game feel, look at that sprites, look at that drawing skills dude DAMN!
idk why but i love this game so much already.. the style is so cool and i love the lil guy u play as :D
OH SHOOT I just recently watched the last devlog and thought since it was such a long time ago you'd given up on the project I'm so glad your back because this game lookin hella fun...

The amount of juice here is commendable you have something that can be VERY fun if you run with it.
Yo small suggestion, you're making crazy amounts of progress in each video which is great, but from a viewers perspective I would love to have seen a bit more of the process you went through creating each piece (creating your character and animating it, fine tuning your attack to feel right, creating the enemies, the cool object based solution to your moving trees, etc).

Looks really nice! I am definitely vibing with the art style and animations!
AWESOME . LIKE . ALWAYS

Loving all your videos bro! doing a great job!
This looks absolutely fantastic. Great art style, especially with such few pixels. Excellent game feel. Keep it up and this will be a winner for sure.
wow best game so simple and such a nice pixelart please more of that content
I like the art design and the gameplay, and the style you're going for makes me think that the concept can be expanded. I believe it has potential for a great story too.
Absolutely love the art! Excited to see more enemies!
The game looks insane dude, also, i noticed the katana zero music ;) +10 points from me just for that
love the graphics my dude
This is very good and really cool looking
This is actually to come together so well!
looking good
Yo man, that game looks so good and fun to play, the map (without all the new enemies) feels a bit empty tough. Lets see how it will look in a couple of devlogs.

Flowers, branches and rocks will add a lot ! To the map
this game looks so fun to play i cant wait until you finish :D keep up the great work!
I love the look of the game, and hey, who doesn't love a pixel art rogue like! Really looking forward to seeing how your game will turn out! Keep at it!
This is looking AMAZING dude!! Cant wait!
nice this looks really cool, keep it up. loving the look!!

Your videos and games are amazing dude
cant wait to see what enemies you will make
Colors and art style is great, hope youll finish this game.

That's really incredible work!
For the distribution of the interesting things on the map, you might want to look into blue noise (aka poisson disk sampling) that gives you a trade off between completely random and more regular patterns.
These gameplay animations are so smooth
The game looks fun and polished!!
games looking great, i hope development is going well!
Literally such a cool game with all my favorite things from my favorite games put into one... big things are coming up for you in the future.😊
looks great man, excited for next dev log
Amazing progress! I’m excited to see the next devlog.
The art style is gorgeous

Man your game is looking very good already.
Your game looks great!
New unique idea. TRIALS. Risk of rain 2 fans: "I've seen this one before"
Amazing work!
Maybe to encourage a fast play style, holding the dead enemy for too long causes it so explode and damage the player. Anyways, looks awesome! So much juice!
This is a great idea I hope green box sees it
Finally, another great devlog episode.
Looks pretty sweet man! Keep goin on this one n post to Steam if ya get enough in it. I'd buy just to support probably. I have the same issue of never bn able to finish my games! lol. Been workin on one for like 5 yrs now though n gettin further along w it. Good luck!
Im loving the color palette of your game. Im still having a lot of trouble trying to figure colors out for my game 😅
You’re game looks AMAZING I really hope it can come out on switch but I understand if that’s too hard/ambitious for a one dev studio, but if it does then you have my money
Oh i just subscribed today bc i saw your last video and this game looked very cool but i thought hmm 4 months ago, hopefully he continues with this game and here we go :> keep it up man, looks amazing
and another question (ik its pretty early): will this game perhaps have multiplayer? i would really enjoy playing this with a friend c:
and for later maybe a idea (would also help if you invent coop) would be adding different characters/classes
im curious to see what this game will turn into. 👍
I think Green box abandoned the project, no updates on any social media… rip… the game was gonna be so good, i love the art style especially
the game looks great!
i have a small suggestion for the trial system, i like the idea that you kill all the enemies in the wave, but what if you made it so you have to throw the final enemy at the trial tree thingo to finish it, anywhere else thrown, or killing the enemy normally, will just resummon the enemy. idk i feel like that would be cool.
waiting here for 8 months where is devlog 3
"No wonder Mom left with ~`Game Design`~ like this" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Man this looks soooo gorgeous already. Black and white is just so stylish already. Have you already got ideas for the music?
I LOVE the art! The fluidity of movement feels/looks very good! Can't wait to play it!!!
How big is your map? I ask because I sort of want to know the limits. lol
Right now I think its 125 by 125 tiles wide with each tile being 16 by 16 pixels.
i simp the game. it looks so good
The game looks really good. You could do some tiktoks for your game. I've seen some games pop up quite a bit with the tiktok approach.
Puzzles! Add cool puzzles!
Can't wait. I'll be a play tester and you don't even have to pay me
I love the overall art style! Especially the Trial Tree looks really dope!
Are you looking into making music for the game and if yes, do you want to do it yourself or are you planning on working together with someone?
Because I'd be really stoked to work on your project, I think it gives off a fantastic feeling and it would be very cool to incorporate that into music! :D

(Also ori and the will of the wisps was still a great game even though it is was notably close to hollow knight in some of its mechanics)
This looks soooo awesome!! I’m just curious, are you doing this all by yourself?
sheeeeeeeeeesh
Looks sorta like a Zelda1 style world map, like making it seem larger by having a labyrint like layout.
this looks great please get 3 in quick (devlog 3 that is)
Ah yes trees... 10/10
So u made this using that game maker 2 thing??? I couldn’t even add objects in lol. Also thanks coz uve inspired me to keep trying to make a game
Tree = good game
Making it fullscreen would be nice (when you show gameplay).
You should add items in the game, that once collected they even give some kind of buff, it would also be nice if there were several characters with different gameplay, I think the name of the game could be something more dramatic like Risk of rain or something similar
8 months later ... ( seriously very nice it packs a punch PS: still waiting )
I love your artstyle how did you make them and in what software ?
awesome channel
game do be looking juicy af :L
just thought it would be cool if you could chain the sould throwing ability, kinda like dominos. Bascically like if you throw the person into another low health person they than bounce. Than again i dont know anything bout anything, love what your doing though
3:30 lol nobody talking about the random letters?
And the cycle repeats again. off to go, next idea T^T
We need more content :D
👍
cool game keep it up
looks like Enter the Gungeon has been your inspiration
