I absolutely loved the Breath of Fire games up to BoF4 and love the Final Fantasy series. It's what drove me wanting to make games like those. But sadly, I never had the chance to pursue my passion on a professional level, so instead, I pursue my passion on RPG maker.
The best thing you can make on this channel in terms of content, is stuff that Jerrell wants to make. Jerrell’s channel, Jerrell’s rules. Whether it’s corduroy form, business suit form, disappointed farmer father form, x-videos Jerr-oops, not that one exactly. You get the idea.
It took me well into adulthood to realize the greatest impact you can realistically have on the world is to just be kind to people. While I wish more people would realize that, I can't force anyone to come to the same conclusions I have. So I'll just continue to work on myself and hope that my kindness can have a ripple effect.
I don't think you are alone in that reasoning. I am not a extrovet but as I have got older I appreciate and try to be more social. It does not have to be much a nod or a smile to can be enough to lift the mood.
PS Any chance any of your games will be available on playstation or on a mobile device? Also, been meaning to ask, what do you mean by homebrew? What is the difference between your normal game development and homebrewing? Please forgive my ignorance
@@kayne8222 homebrews as I understand it is like a modification/overhaul of an existing game, usually classic games. Pokerogue is a perfect example of this.
I’ll be 100% honest I first saw your channel for the concord stuff but I subscribed for this. Hanging out discussing cool things like throwing knives music , you are an absolute gem. Thank you for your videos they are fun and help me to de stress. Thank you.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Dealing with the mortality and loss of those close to you is extremely difficult and does bring things into perspective. Best of luck to the both of you. By the way, I think you're pretty cool. You may not have as much catching up to do as you might think. Banjo playing +5 cool points.
I appreciate your style Jerrel. Excited to see the future of the channel. Edit: I think you are well on your way to being as cool as your father figure.
You should watch the Tier Zoo channel for information on the best builds in the "real life" MMO. Just watched one on the best Jellyfish builds that was enlightening.
It isn't, at best it's in alpha state. Bug riddled and really out of touch devs, progression sucks unless you have the money cheat. And despite many petitions about respawning, the game still have permadeath.
Your videos educating on creative writing and dialog have helped me immensely in my own writing endeavors. I'll always be here no matter what. Keep it up!
My mom passed last year. It has left me rawer and more open hearted. But it also has helped me re-prioritize the things that are most important to me, and de-prioritize all the noisy BS I was paying too much attention to
I too came here after seeing your concord videos, but I am staying for your positive content that does not involve these "petty squabbles." Please keep up the good work.
It's great that you have found some balance currently with things. I always look forward to the things you share with everyone. Thank you. Safe Journeys !
I would love to see some of your content having someone who’s actually nice and is willing to talk to people about the production of their product is a good way to stay connected to consumers. But I understand if you feel that the conversations coming from it would add to the fire. May your products do well and have a good night Edit: sentence disappeared from what I typed added it back in
Glad your channel is growing. I found you because of the concord videos. Wasn't looking for the drama or anything I was looking into character design advice and RUclips led me here. I actually found your input on colors and making something look eye catching in black and white or blurred incredibly helpful
Absolutely loved to hear about you talking about your father figure. Growing up without a dad, it was very hard. So hearing you speak about that made me quite happy to hear how awesome he is. I hope your channel continues to grow.
Same, in the last 3-4months, this is the only channel I've not insta-skipped the ads the microsecond the ability to do it is available, & I watch A Lot of videos daily, it's the background to my entire day most days, whether I'm working, relaxing, travelling, or doing chores & housework I can't avoid. But this is a rare commodity, a channel that leaves me feeling better about the content subject when the video ends, than I felt before(& better in general as well, not just about the subject matter).
it feels like there's a subtle reverb without any late reflections. there's a mild ducking effect when the early reflections drop loved the banjo. great work.
You honestly just seem like a genuinely great dude. Thanks for the heartfelt words. It's really true that every minute of one's life is valuable. We so often forget this in the slog of everyday life... Also, for what it's worth, I hope your friend makes it.
Man, I stumbled on this channel by chance, and it was worth the discovery. The background in the video is warm and cozy. I like it. Game on gamers. Be good to each other out there. Remember, games are supposed to be fun. So have fun and be kind.
When the last boss reappears in the corduroy form you need to aim your missiles at his vest, wait for it to open, and you can get off 2 or 3 shots. After about 14 direct hits, he'll explode and reappear in seersucker form.
I wish you continued and great success. You appear to me to already be successful. I don't have a Nintendo Switch though. I'd like to support your games.
You can see the joy and energy in Jerrel's face when he talks about making games. It's intoxicating, and had the current industry had his enthusiasm, we would be playing better games by now! Glad to see the channel is doing well, Jerrel! Love the suit!
Great approach, Jerrel, I'm very happy to have found you recently, and your down-to-earth approach has been a breath of fresh air. Life is indeed too short to live in dramas every day, especially if one wishes to create something outstanding. Looking forward to your future accomplishments! 🍻
I'm not even a "gamer" but I thoroughly enjoy your videos and am glad that Asmond reacts to them cause that's how I found you. Thought I was sub'd but wasn't so am now. Keep up the great work!
The seasonal winter theme in the background with the snow and the natural wood. 👌👌Thanks for another upload. Definitely sparks imagination here and to your point. Fun. Thanks you Sir for your contributions Personal thought and feel free to disregard - I dont know what it is about the audio on the fire I feel is a bit quick paced or off for the calm setting of the cabin.
I think it's awesome that you have a clear vision for what you want to do with the channel. I see so many people fall into the trap of just doing what gets the clicks. I'm all here for having some good old fashion fun and I hope you succeed in doing it.
Thanks man. I swear that some human beings love to create problems when they don't have any major problems of their own or if they do have problems seek to project them onto every other person they can possibly affect. Keep spreading the fun and the lightheartedness as much as you can. The world needs it
Crazy to think that in April of last Year you had such a small channel and did these small Sliver Falls Streams and gave out free 3DS and Wii U Codes for the games. The thing is your channel got bigger, but you still have the same great old vibes. I'm really looking forward to the future of your channel and also the games. Have a great Day and see ya not on Social Media soon!
I appreciate the slow, calculated movements in that corduroy suit. Lord knows that quick movements can quickly produce heat from friction, and end in self immolation. It's definitely not your first time wearing it. Your channel, your rules, your content. Just be careful in that suit so we can enjoy your content for years to come.
I didn't know about your channel until the algorithm suggested that "corporate" video for me. I glad it did! It's good to see more developers like you, who doesn't subscribe to the current trend. Keep it up!
Your channel reminds me of the good ole youtube days, where people uploaded stuff just because they thought it was fun and wanted to share some personal stuff. I know there're still channels that do that but my feed was always full of just modern youtube content, informative stuff with great production values but with no trace of that personal touch that you add to yours.
Hi Jerrel, I'm really sorry to hear about your friend. Goodbyes are hard, however they come about. I have progressed through a few chapters of your book (the pool contest has happened). Am intrigued to find out what's going on!
I am sympathetic to the effort that pushes back against the current zeitgeist in videogames, but never combativeness the countercurrent sometimes takes, so this channel is a breath of fresh air.
It's been years since I subscribed to a channel, but I've absolutely loved your videos these past couple of weeks. Have my sub and keep doing what you do.
Merry Christmas season, Jerrel. Nice banjo playing. You are very cool, so hearing that someone out there is even cooler sounds supernatural. (Half-joking of course, but they must be unfathomably cool.)
I really appreciate that. Thank you for listening. Let's do what we can to be as great as we can be and offer a positive example for the next generation.
Loved the music bit (last at the bar) and did not know that there actually already are games! Will check out Guardians and Metal Exterminators S on switch this weekend. Great, great OST!
The eclectic whimsy appeals to me. Keep doing whatever you feel like doing. > I know what you mean about 130 hour weeks. While I was a software developer I often said I did it all day, read about it all evening, and dreamt about it all night. (Full-time job, research when I got home, directed dreaming).
There needs to be more people like you. Who do a bit of everything. Able to help those when need it but also able bring joy to an ever increasingly angry world. If I as a gamer had one wish though. I wish the industry would revive things like Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver. Thank you for all that you've done
You know you are a treasure to this website. The corduroy form had me laughing hard. Best channel. Honestly I just look forward to whatever content you make because to me all of it's really good. And if you need help with thumbnails or anything like that let me know
"Corduroy Form" as opener was an ingenious move! Regarding the homebrew work, IMHO it will make your code on newer consoles so much better. I used to work on the GameCube (and other systems) and learned so much about writing efficient code; never worked on a GameBoy, though. I really enjoy your channel, it's like hanging out with someone I respect. Thanks.
It's awesome to hear from you. How cool about the GameCube! That's one console I have not worked on yet. Let's have fun hanging out here on the channel.
I appreciate your corrective videos in the same manner as the old saying about lectures: for every question you ask, a dozen other people wanted to ask the same question but didn't. You make well-reasoned points and present them without descending into self indulgence, then a thousand people think, "yeah, that's how I want to talk about difficult things." It's a welcome antidote to the videos of people essentially winning arguments with themselves in the shower. That mode of presentation is only one part of you, and it's equally good to see the other parts: your sense of humor, the things you're passionate about, and the things that hurt. But the world is better for seeing a man state contrary opinions forcefully but respectfully.
Always dreamed of making my own games, grew up playing with 'click and play', 'the games factory' and 'rpgmaker' series. Loved pixel art and writing little windows midi files for the sound tracks. Studied games art and design at uni and just lost my passion for the industry by the time I left in 2009, it wasn't the industry I thought it was any more, and kinda lost my direction. I've been struggling while my best mate goes through chemo. We don't know what the future holds but just last night we were saying we need to try and live in the present and enjoy ourselves more. You're so so right about not wasting time. I wasn't expecting to cry this morning (not in a bad way) now feeling inspired. Cheers Jerrel. Might spend the day playing piano and dabbling with RPGmaker again and I'm lucky enough to live with my friend and see plenty of him. Thank you for for the lift this morning and reminder of what's important. I'm checking out your games and can't wait to see more of your game stuff.
Hi, i found you through asmon, and even though i think you're a little bit harsh on people sometimes, i think you're a really cool confident person i want to learn from. Subscribed.
Your channel popped up for me a few days before your concorde video, & i was instantly hooked on the down to earth personal approach style, that you use when talking to us the audience, and the way your comments aimed towards the people in the video subject(i mean like the devs & publishers of concorde/avowed/ubisoft, people like Elon, & things like Int'l Mens Day), all come across as genuine reactions and opinions of/from a real human being, whilst also being respectfully delivered, & obviously come from a good place inside of you. Its particularly refreshing that you dont go for the low hanging fruit of just slinging shit & personal attacks that so many creators & general critical voices delve down to. I subscribed within seconds of that first video i saw, & uniquely for me, this is probably the only channel i actually let the ads roll on and i Don't skip them at the earliest opportunity to do so, as I'm more than willing to sacrifice a few seconds of my day to help support you, even in that miniscule way.
I got on this train yesterday because a friend of mine really appreciated your video about Avowed and what Matt's done to his coworkers. I appreciated the polite dressing down. I'm gonna stay on the J-train for a nice while, it's pleasant aboard, keep up the good work.
So much talent in one human being. I hope one day you will get the success and recognition you truly deserve. But Until then, for me, you're pretty much going to be the living embodiment of that "just a chill guy" meme that's going viral. Glad to be here.
Thank you everyone. Let's have fun on this channel and hang out.
Hi Jerrel! I just started watching the video. Is the echo intentional?
Time to do some science and make some world peace!
I absolutely loved the Breath of Fire games up to BoF4 and love the Final Fantasy series. It's what drove me wanting to make games like those. But sadly, I never had the chance to pursue my passion on a professional level, so instead, I pursue my passion on RPG maker.
I play breath of fire IV, it prolly the best rpg battle system on ps 1👌
You need to start smoking from a gandalf pipe.

You get the idea.
Hahaha. Well let's see if Elon buys XVideos to rename it.
I whole heartedly agree, as a paranormal viewer of Jerrel I find this channel cool.
@@sungrandstudios He'll rename it into VideosX.
@@sungrandstudios that would be so hilarious
So glad your channel is growing. Keep up being a normal person having fun and showing cool stuff
I really like when you comment partly because your profile picture absolutely cracks me up.
Corduroy isn't even his final form
I wonder if tweed is the next form... 🧐
and the comment oscar goes to ^
“Oh this is interesting”
Perhaps not, but so far, it is definitely his most stylish.
The suit form is his final form !
It took me well into adulthood to realize the greatest impact you can realistically have on the world is to just be kind to people. While I wish more people would realize that, I can't force anyone to come to the same conclusions I have. So I'll just continue to work on myself and hope that my kindness can have a ripple effect.
That is a lesson we all learn in our own way and old time. Your positive attitude is one of the only few ways we can make the world better.
This is a great general direction to go in life. Cheers to you.
That sixth sense kid did that and then he got stabbed.
Agreed.
Also, to be aware you've been blessed, and be grateful for it.
I don't think you are alone in that reasoning. I am not a extrovet but as I have got older I appreciate and try to be more social. It does not have to be much a nod or a smile to can be enough to lift the mood.
Thanks for always putting good vibes out there and reminding us to be good people and enjoy the most life has to offer

Edit: I think you are well on your way to being as cool as your father figure.
The vibes on this channel are immaculate
Love the banjo. Thank you sir for sharing. You are a breath of fresh air.
You should also watch his zither videos. They are awesome.
Damn, your sincere honesty regading you passion, beliefs, your life path is so f-ing inspiring!
It motivates.
Thanks.
I'm glad to hear from you. Life is really exciting and there is so much cool stuff out there.
Yep enjoy seeing a young man with a code. Stoic masculinity isn't toxic. Love the dry humor.

Sungrand's suits fit, though.

Your videos educating on creative writing and dialog have helped me immensely in my own writing endeavors. I'll always be here no matter what. Keep it up!

It's a welcome antidote to the videos of people essentially winning arguments with themselves in the shower.
That mode of presentation is only one part of you, and it's equally good to see the other parts: your sense of humor, the things you're passionate about, and the things that hurt. But the world is better for seeing a man state contrary opinions forcefully but respectfully.
I, too, as others here, believe that you must make what is best for you. As everybody, you have a life outside that is the one that really counts.✌️
Always dreamed of making my own games, grew up playing with 'click and play', 'the games factory' and 'rpgmaker' series. Loved pixel art and writing little windows midi files for the sound tracks. Studied games art and design at uni and just lost my passion for the industry by the time I left in 2009, it wasn't the industry I thought it was any more, and kinda lost my direction. I've been struggling while my best mate goes through chemo. We don't know what the future holds but just last night we were saying we need to try and live in the present and enjoy ourselves more. You're so so right about not wasting time. I wasn't expecting to cry this morning (not in a bad way) now feeling inspired. Cheers Jerrel. Might spend the day playing piano and dabbling with RPGmaker again and I'm lucky enough to live with my friend and see plenty of him. Thank you for for the lift this morning and reminder of what's important. I'm checking out your games and can't wait to see more of your game stuff.
Hi, i found you through asmon, and even though i think you're a little bit harsh on people sometimes, i think you're a really cool confident person i want to learn from. Subscribed.
I've recently gotten back into gaming, so I'll have to pick up a couple of yours! Glad to see your channel growth man!
Kenney!! Awesome to hear from even after all this time. Thank you for the support. Let's enjoy some good music.
Your channel popped up for me a few days before your concorde video, & i was instantly hooked on the down to earth personal approach style, that you use when talking to us the audience, and the way your comments aimed towards the people in the video subject(i mean like the devs & publishers of concorde/avowed/ubisoft, people like Elon, & things like Int'l Mens Day), all come across as genuine reactions and opinions of/from a real human being, whilst also being respectfully delivered, & obviously come from a good place inside of you.
Its particularly refreshing that you dont go for the low hanging fruit of just slinging shit & personal attacks that so many creators & general critical voices delve down to.
I subscribed within seconds of that first video i saw, & uniquely for me, this is probably the only channel i actually let the ads roll on and i Don't skip them at the earliest opportunity to do so, as I'm more than willing to sacrifice a few seconds of my day to help support you, even in that miniscule way.
I love your content bro! Thank you for making enjoyable content
I got on this train yesterday because a friend of mine really appreciated your video about Avowed and what Matt's done to his coworkers. I appreciated the polite dressing down.
I'm gonna stay on the J-train for a nice while, it's pleasant aboard, keep up the good work.
So much talent in one human being. I hope one day you will get the success and recognition you truly deserve.
But Until then, for me, you're pretty much going to be the living embodiment of that "just a chill guy" meme that's going viral.
Glad to be here.
