hey man i’m one of the devs of You Are Now Possessed, very glad our game inspired you ! your game looks beautiful, good luck :)

Just an idea, but you could reason that the robots cannot understand the music since music is a very human and emotional thing which causes them to overload and maybe blow up/ shut down when trying to process it.

This could then lead really nicely into a story for the game where robots are taking over the world but music is the only thing left which humans have control over. Maybe it’s a dystopian future where the character discovers a lost guitar and all other instruments have been banned, hence why only the main character possesses this power.

I don’t know, these ideas just randomly came to me so i decided to share them.

Anyway, nice video, keep up the impressive quality :)

“It should not have taken this long” - spoken like a true game dev :)
Congrats on the dope progress!

[Luke-zwib]

Truly one of the greatest comebacks of all time

I'm a 17 year old who is still learning game dev as well and im working on a simple platformer rn, this is so motivating i love it.
When i saw the vid is posted less than 24hours ago i was sad, i cant wait for the next devlog.

dude your voice went from 8 year old kid on his ipad to grown 33 year old man with $469 mic! 🤯

[IDoZYT]

concept looks great and you've done some awesome work, best of luck with development :)

10:24 ...wow...as a Granny who doesn't play any game but scrabble, I salute you. It is beyond my imagination and seems extra terrestrial and other extraneous words. A big

One idea that might be cool is including "biomes" in the world generation - basically just different areas that generate differently to one another. For example, you could have one such biome generate large, open rooms, while another generates those long, narrow corridors you mentioned before. This could help spruce up the world a little and add more variety to each run

love your planning phase, its really inspirational!

[itamar]

I'm one of the creators of 'You are now possessed'!
It warms our hearts to see that our game has inspired you!
Keep up the fantastic work, we believe in you!!

[OandCoGames]

Excellent call out to "Your are Now Possessed". Great game that one. I love your idea to have instruments be the weapons - definitely will be following this game closely!

[Forbiddenforgor]

dude, this is so inspiring for me. I needed this
i am also 17 years old and learning unity, im really close behind you, I was going to make arcade games until i was confident enough to make my own games. I'm not starting with my dream game, but jumping in the deep end is a really good description.
i'm rooting for you, this video was good and i hope you see your game succeed

[Wishbone_Games]

Youre building up a really solid base for this game i cant wait to see where it goes :)
I remember in my first projects i just jumped in without planning anything, glad to see you not making the same mistake

[bicepsupreme]

What a cool guy. Never the wrong time to pursue a dream. Most game companies look for projects instead of degrees so this endeavor will put you leagues ahead of the competition.

[TheExplorerK]

I've been wanting to make a game for a while now and seeing other people accomplishing their dreams makes my thriving and burning desire grow stronger, earned a sub!

[InfiniteDistraction]

I'm super impressed by your workflow, especially the iterations on art style and colour. It looks professional, which is extra impressive for someone your age. I'm also making my dream game, but I'm 33 and wish I'd started earlier :p You're going to have such a head start on your future. Will follow along with your progress!

[See_Tee]

I've been feeling demotivated to learn game dev, but seeing someone my age doing it makes me want to start again

[GarnetKane]

Hey! Congrats on this - super awesome to see the progression! I'm glad my tutorial was useful to you as well! I always love seeing what people are able to put together from it! Best of luck and can't wait to see the next one!

[jessechounard]

Followed here from your comment on the latest O. and Co. Games devlog. Very solid start! Looking forward to seeing how this grows.
