In this video I go through the whole process of making a small gliding squirrel game from prototype to the (almost) finished videogame.
This video is a bit different than my normal devlogs and I plan to continue the normal devlogs once walter walnut is fully done.

Hey guys thanks for watching! Please wishlist my little flying squirrel game on steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1877560/Walter_Walnut/
Like I said in the video this is a side project that took longer than expected and I'll go back to the shooter game afterwards :)
Hi I lost your channel for a time thanks for uploading again love your devlogs
hi, love your channel. hope you update on the shooter game
Very cool 😎👍
w a l t e r w a l n u t
Please add workshop support it would be really cool to have extra islands by the community also I think an option for the pixel shader could look really nice
hope he's back soon
The game turned out great! Really impressive work :)
Seeing a devlog for a game from start to finish is a nice change of pace - the wait was worth it!
Thank you! glad you like this type of video :)
@@Codeer from ur devlog i like ur 3 model so would u mind sharing the character model? it fine if u cant
Hey Codeer, I dont know if youll see this comment, but I just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to make video gaming. It's always been a bit of a dream of mine to make a game, and you always make it seem so easy. I hope your doing well, wherever you are in life. Just know that when you come back, you'll still have a loyal fan base ready and waiting!
I don't really think he will tho
@@peakinsert1276yahhh so itz been a year
not gonna lie, i want this game! Maybe you could expand a secondary melee attack like i think it could get boring with just one attack type
I agree, I definitely want to add more variety for the attacks and maybe a dash!
@@Codeer would love it!
Perhaps some form of uppercut, to attack higher enemies, and to give some extra height before gliding.
@@Codeer Uppercut and a ground slam ;)
Turn his tail into a bat!
We miss you Codeer, ever since I found your channel you have been my favourite game dev RUclips channel
where did he go
@@MoreSombrerosi don't know, but i hope He comes back eventually
Same
@@Joao_BC yeah D:
same
This is the exact moment Walter walnut turned into heisensquirrel
"Jesse we need to cook nut meth"
Im hoping everything has been well for you! Be it you are still planning to make videos or not i still love lookong theough your older devlogs!
I hope you arnt feeling to overwhelmed to fit a lot into one video. Id even love to see shorter content as well just because updates are fun. I dont play games and i dont make them, but hearing your projects are always so much fun! Be safe Codeer. I think of your artistry very often♡
Thank you for the kind message! I'm doing well, and hope to make videos again soon :)
Yayyyyyyy you're alive!!! It's good to hear that you're well. Excited for when you come back soon!@@Codeer
@@Codeerits a relieve know you good, take your time mate
@@Codeer
I’m happy that you are still here
I wish Dani would come back too ;(
Once I opened his twitter, I finally realized that he's been cooking up a video for us for so long. Welcome back : D
Haha thanks :)
glad to hear of you again! the game kind of gives me a little nostalgia about a squirrel survival game on phone i used to love playing ages ago :)
game itself seems really awesome, defenitely gonna wishlist it!
my personal ideas for possible improvements:
- more fleshed out combat; dodging, blocking, quick/weak- and slow/strong attacks etc.
- tiny friendly AI/NPCs such as small birds that wouldnt do much but make the world feel more alive so hostiles arent the only thing capable of moving
- temporary buffs (faster flight for example,) you could find in maps, which would be needed to get through certain areas that might give some extra rewards for more challenge
- lots of different biomes, such as swamps, underwater oceans, deep forests (like redwood forests), snowy mountains and so forth
hope this helps for some inspiration ^^
Thank you for the wishlist and the comprensive feedback! Awesome ideas, I agree the combat can use some variation, I didn't show it in the video but there's ability chests that can unlock new moves so I'll try and put a dash and maybe another attack in those! There's also some small crabs that don't really do anything but flee from the player so that's similar to your suggestion. The buffs also sound really nice and I'll try to keep the biomes varied :)
I also remember that game! I think it was some Sort of Simulator and you Had to find These acorns or Something to earn Levels and age your squirrel
I thought him carrying the package on his hand while gliding looked a bit weird. What if he wore it as a backpack instead? For gliding maybe. Then maybe he uses the package as well to whack around enemies for a melee attack
This is the I miss codeer button
plz come back (plz dont be dead)(plz dont be dani)
Aye man are you okay?
He is okay, he’s in the new blackthornprod video
@@cookiebot. oh alright
I wonder how @Codeer is doing, i hope your doing good, I cant wait for the next dev log on your shooter game
“It’s a bird!”
“It’s a plane!”
“No, it’s a squirrel with gigantic bulging eyes shooting nuts!”
bro drops banger, then just dips 😭
I just discovered this channel but I love it. Honestly it’s really exciting to see one person able to do all this and also I can see you actually listen to your audience and are excited to add their suggestions to the game.
I really like the engagement. That makes your game so unique too-how you literally directly work with the public to create your game. And that you get inspired by it-you even improve upon the advice you get.
Outstanding.
Edit: Also this character reminds me a little of Scrat from Ice Age-obviously because he’s a squirrel. I wonder if maybe adding some personality to the character in your game could be good. Kind of like how Mario, etc. have their own personality. Things like grimaces, happy face, a cheer, etc.
Scrat is so beloved because of his personality.
Codeer please come back, your content is some of the greatest to ever come out of the coding community
It took me so long to find your channel again but I'm glad I did
aah such an amazing video yehh i found a new amazing channel! 🤩 happy find you!
Walter, put your nuts away walter.
Just remembered you exiat again and looked to see how you were! Happy for the break and happy your looking at other things! I hope the break is treating you well and i feel blessed we even got this video! Your doing great work man keep it up
Holy he harted you he is alive ok so this is just a big break than...ok understandable at least now I know he is alive thanks to the heart holy 10 months...
@@ioanaldea1509 I thought the same thing
@@ryandouglas5821 lol
The game looks pretty cool and I like the way of editing with the stock footage inbetween. I especially enjoyed the funny ones like the one with "time consuming" :D
This is such a wholesome looking game, I love it! And the flying looks super satisfying :)
Thank you! :)
Underrated comment why is no one here except for codeer :)
how's zero tag going?
Rip codeer we will never forget him 😭
did he dead?
what happed to him
Really loving this game's art style, great job making a complete game so fast! It's already in much better shape than some early access games I've seen on Steam.. wishlisted :)
Bro I was literally waiting for a video as I binged through the series of your dream game which was outstanding. Love your work :)
i really liked the pixelated effect the game occasionally had, it has the same vibe as "a short hike"
Yes, Another banger! 🔥🔥
1:00
"This is Walter Walnut"
IMMEDIATELY I'm invested
I didn't realise how much effort you put into this small game. Cannot wait for the release!
Playing sounds together in audacity to test if they fit together is a pretty awesome idea
Dude really disappeared for a year, came back and announced a new game, and then disappeared again
My man finally came back! Even with a squirrel! Wow!
Yoo its been so long I never forgot tho was patiently waiting for your next vid. Bet its gonna be worth it too!
You have no idea how much I missed your content! I was about to watch the "weird shooter game" playlist for the 100th time (obviously exaggerated but still) Great to see you back :)
I guess the best thing of having multiple games is that, the possibility of carrying over experience and stuff you've made from one game to another, good call, this game is looking really good as well.
glad to see you taking a moment to make something thats relaxed but also a project you can learn from, like you did audio for the game somethign YET to be done remotly for the main. i applayed ya for ya work overall. think you for the time you put in to make both games so far. plus you have keeped from burning out. :P i have some games i have completly or nearly stoped playing because i have played them so heavly.
This reminds me so much of Grow Up and Grow Home, two games that have such a unique and calming atmosphere while still being challenging. Love it!
I love how you say "this little game" when it really doesn't seem that little. Looks like a lot of thought and effort has been put into it and it's got quite a lot of features (I watched this after watching 6 devs pass the game). Looks really fun and with good vibes! Wishlisted it :)
While this was different from normal this was extremely interesting and I loved watching it. Very inspiring!
PLS WEIRD SHOOTER GAME DEVLOG. I MISS YOU. I SEE YOU IN BTP VIDEO. I KNOW YOU ALIVE. PLSSSSSSSSS
It looks very cool! I really liked seeing how you dealt with audio in the game. I feel like it’s skimmed over in a lot of devlogs.
Thank you :) glad you liked the audio part, I agree not many people seem to talk about it, perhaps because it's a bit tricky to show off in a video format
You can introduce the gliding mechanic in the shooter game as well(if it doesn't turn into scope creep), I always assumed there will be more transformations to the player like the climbing spider thing, so it can be a similar gliding alien-bug transformation.
Yeah definitely! I was thinking the same it would be cool to climb and then glide down :)
@@Codeer Because the character has stretchy legs, maybe they could turn into a helicopter rotor?
Please don’t put this idea too far on the backburner. It could be a relative steep glide, or one with a stamina.
@@Ilostmycactus that’s a very good idea!
@@Codeer are you dead
Man, when you look at this game and then the strange shooter, you can totally see what your style is like. I absolutely love it! Keep up the good work. 👍
Thank you!
So happy to see a new upload. I was just watching old dev logs last night lol. Definitely gonna go wishlist
Thank you :)
Hey! Love your videos, I know the amount of time to make these games is staggering on top of getting footage summary and writing editing footage of you making each step so just massive respect, hope to see a something from you again soon
Hey, it's my favorite Unity content maker. Looks like a really fun project man. Great work.
Love the style of the game! Currently I'm also working on a bigger project, and it was really inspiring to watch your progress with this game so far :)
COOOOOOOOODDDDDDEEEEERRRRRRR. Yay my boi is back, I’m so glad to here you’ve been working on the shooting game, and this looks very fun, I’m glad your back, keep up the good work
I really love this dev log! Not only is it entertaining but also very informational, both for programming games and designing them.
Yay you are back I love your content and also both of your games that are in progress looks very good :)
Thank you :)
Short hike effect looked nice
Very well made devlog, I got some great insights about your workflow which is really helpful for a newbie gamedev. And the game itself is amazing - super cute, nice style, looks well made. I can't believe this is a "side project". You got a sub and a wishlist from me!
It’s been a year plz come back codeer we need you ! 🥺
Glad to see another video from u codeer! Welcome back
When the world needed him most he vanished
Loving the calm atmosphere. Very inspiring.
The idea of you doing these "smaller"/side game projects is also cool. Honestly, I look forward to anything you post.
Yes! Love everything you come up with
you share the perfect amount of your process. we get to follow your thinking as gamedevs -without getting overloaded. wishlisted the game
This looks so cool! I gotta say tho, the squirrel eyes scare me.
Thank you for that trick on footstep sfx, I was currently in need for that 😄
We miss you.
Its so amazing to see you back whit a new amazing project. Having you be gone for half a year was sad and I was afraid you were never going to upload but here you are. Thanks for making these devlogs on your projects they really cheer me up. ^^
That's awesome I'm really glad you like them! thank you :)
this is so awesome i love the uniqueness and the gameplay looks fun!
Waiting for this devlog was totally worth it!
I love how this game is a mix of platforming, enemy fights, and perhaps some puzzles! I was also thinking maybe you could add nuts that give you special abilities or heal you!
Awesome video! Maybe you could add like a scratch attack too cause the one melee attack might get boring. Other than that awesome video! (Never knew your other game took so long to make, hats off)
Thank you, yeah that sounds great I definitely want to make the attacks a bit more varied!
The game looks great! The character design mixed with the cartoon effect really makes the game pop. I especially like the design of King Walnut! I usually put off audio until the end of a project too, I still haven't found a good way to do it. I love how you change the music while the character glides, definitely adds a ton to the game! Can't wait to see more!
Great video! When I saw that you also had pixelated look in the beginning because A Short Hike I smiled because I did the same thing at first haha
Hahah nice! yeah it looks so cool, but I feel like it would be a bit too similar.
Looks amazing. Has a lot of A Short Hike vibes. And it's good that you took a break, switched gears and focused one releasing a game on Steam, wishlisted!
That was a great devlog! What an incredible learning experience, and the game looks entertaining, so win/win.
Great job it looks very cool and polished!
I love Walter already! This game looks beautiful and like a ton of fun. Great job!
Finally back after six centuries
Finally you uploaded, this looks fun
Good to hear your still making the shooter also this new game looks really fun!
So happy to see you had fun with this little project :) Thanks for sharing it with us
i love the windwaker art style approach to the game its really cool
This game looks so smooth and nice
I really like your videos and the amount of knowledge and creativity. Looking forward to see the progress on the weird shooter game😀
Love the video and seeing your great work again
The game looks super kool. Really like the gliding system and the wings. The game world looks beautiful. Also the combat looks smooth and fun. Just wishlisted and Keep it up! :)
Wow, there is so much Spyro spirit in it, it's amazing how quick you managed to do this ! It looks very fun to play, can't wait to see more !
glad youre back! looks like a fun game
It's look so good!
Nice job men!
Loved this style of video
i love it when i see there is a new video
- Ground Terrain enemies, spiked turtle and the only way to damaged them is by getting behind them and attack.
- Can you stop mid air? you can add a attack animation like a falling punch you can only use while gliding.
- Temple map with dungeon trap.
- Secret area.
duuude i want IT! Well done. Cant wait to see its final form!
This looks so fun! I like the idea of taking a break from your larger project to focus on a smaller game as your first release. Def going to be following along for this one too 🥰
Thank you! Yes exactly, with this little game there's much less pressure for the first release haha

Hey brother. Hope you are doing well, excited for your next video!
yeah working even on the "smallest" of games is still quite the challenge great job starting and making a strive to finish!
Very cool project, and your touch is always noticeable in your works.
Great video! Missed things like this
Great work! The game looks super fun and very visually pleasing already! 👀
Can't wait for the full release and good luck with it!
Thank you! :)
I totally love this kind of game :) it seems lovely and relaxing af, will definitely wishlist it and looking forward to play it :) cheers from france :))
