There’s so something so wild with stampy using his full name. The man has such integrity that he doesn’t need to announce himself as stampy

CANT WAIT TO PLAY AN EARLY VERSION OF THIS PLEASE GET IT INTO MY HANDS 4J

They are so humble, I love the little dev community. I hope they're gonna achieve their goals!

hello this is Stampy and welcome to another Reforj lets play video

I started work as an indie dev on a project very similar to this in terms of visuals and tools. Unfortunately didn't have the money or scope to finish it. So glad to see someone has taken the rough forward, and I look forward to seeing what happens :)

It is wild to see how stampy went from some lad playing minecraft in his room and talking to himself to actually working as a consultant for 4j Studios

I find it funny they just decided to completely censor Toycat's name in the credits instead of replacing it with Ibxtoycat.

This game has so much potential. I really want this to be good

[mostlime]

I love the direction for this game. Thanks 4J.

My main complaint is about the flat shading, which looks horrible. This issue extends to the UI as well. I don't like how the hotbar curves upwards, it just takes up more screen space unnecessarily. If something isn't broken, it shouldn't be fixed. At the very least, we should have an option for a flat hotbar.

This was SUPER interesting to see, especially in the eyes of a game developer! I don't remember many games ever being announced before the alpha stage of development (only game I can think of is Minecraft Java edition), so there's LOADS of opportunies and ways this game can go. I think it's important to always have a balance between being receptive to feedback and not overscoping the project or compromising on your creative ideals for what the game should be like. Regardless, with how massive this engine is, anything would still be fun and I hope you all have a blast developing this really cool looking (big fan of the colours) game! I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY THIS

I hope this game turns into something special, 4J has the talent to achieve this. At the end of the day, I'm rooting for Reforj. <3

4jStudios always did a good job with Minecraft Legacy, they have my support, with their new projects, I can't wait to play Reforj

[Aerialyn]

I'm excited to see how the community managers felt about revealing this huge project :> (looking at you, Chandler!!)

[avinzombie]

[jupiterblue]

This team seems very professional and hardworking! I can tell they will get far and this game will pay off

[ArtemisWasHere]

The controller friendly design, the way you placed blocks and the hi that comes with it, so friggin’ clever!

[servitorhosted]

Keep going! What you're doing seems like a golden ticket plan. Great game design, great speed integration of new ideas and prototyping/play testing, great community engagement. You guys got this. Keep being true to yourselves, your company, and your game. Don't prioritize greed, and you'll have an amazing game ❤
