This video took WAY longer to finish than I expected. My plan was to upload one video a month this year...but life threw some punches so here we are.

This took a hot minute to make, but I enjoy this format 100% more than the review videos. So I'll be making more docu-style vids next year.

Thank you for watching! ...And if you're still reading this, gimme a indie game suggestion in the comments.

Hey, thanks for playing my game and reviewing / discussing it here, really nice video!

[dereknolin]

I really enjoyed the background history and explanation of the adaptive soundtrack. Thanks! I really hope Robinson-Yu makes a sequel or longer game that takes what makes this game great and expands upon it.

i just played through this game over the weekend and im so A Short Hike-pilled now. I really need more games like this! When it comes to the soundtrack i also love the quieter moments when the music drops out and you just hear the nature sounds. it made me feel so relaxed. Anyway, really nice video! Sad to see you haven't made any more since this =(

I played the game a year ago, maybe you already had this video thrown out. The game itself is great, but what I would like to single out is the music. I listen to it regularly. It could sell successfully as a studio album. As a frequent listener, I started to research more about it, which is why I'm on this video. :)

Man please keep making this videos are so inspiring!!!

wow the quality! super underrated content creator

[masfergi]

Dear indieinfinity, I really love your video, how you narate and explain, it’s help me a lot in understanding game design.
I have humble suggestion, if you would make more video explaining certain game core loop, objective, etc it surely will impactfull to many.

Again thank you very much, I hope you are healthy and stay safe.

very cool game, it's really giving that vibe

[InarsyGames]

This video was good, I'd watch more.

[Danielsan]

This game really makes you like a hiker

[WilliamAndriamihaja]

brother you need to come back, you are way too skilled to let all of this potential go to waste (not that it's being wasted but I feel like you have a really decent future on youtube)

[kingbravesouls]

Awesome discussion vid! I love A Short Hike <3 I suggest checking out Lil Gator Game or Smushi Come Home! They had really similar vibes to A Short Hike but also felt different enough to stand out and be their own adventures.

Is it considered stealing if i like this game fly mechanics but to use for different purpose like, here is a short hike, but in mine could be delivary or migration game? I mean can i be sued 😅😅

86 subs? bro? here's another one!

This video is so underrated (╥﹏╥) . I thought this would have like over 100k views.

I completely disagree that you have to have pixels on for the art style. Turning off the pixels vastly improves the game, in my opinion, and eases eye strain, and makes it look like you're playing inside hand-painted illustrations from a children's book, instead of late 90s computer graphics.
