Night Stones is an open world game developed in Unity inspired by the likes of Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts. In this episode, I'm showing how the game ultimately became successful on Kickstarter and my progress on the game's demo.

Thanks to the amazing dudes @Blackthornprod for helping me grow my audience. Please check out their game dev rocket courses!

Ok for sure - the alpha tester feedback videos are the BEST entertainment ever and you should bring them back every video.

Alright... I've played the entire demo. The immersion in this universe is magical, audio and video are conversing very well. I'm so proud of what this project is becoming... I am following your devlogs since the first one and I'm very anxious to watch what it'll become.

[WaveParadigm]

I'm baffled about why you wouldn't have posted a video about the Kickstarter here - this channel has been my sole window into your development, and it seems like I'm far from the only one there.

Glad to hear it was funded though! Best of luck with the rest of your development!

Interestingly, I would've totally backed this campaign on Kickstarter IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT IT. I've wishlisted the game on Steam, I've been following your videos, but somehow, the message of a KS campaign never reached me. Worth looking at!

Your collaboration on the zombie car driving game was what put you on my radar. You were the most "human" component of that video, and certainly the most relatable personality. Congrats on your Kickstarter campaign exceeding it's mark!

Unfortunate that I missed your Alpha tester phase, but I'm subscribed, watching, and hopeful your dream pans out to put smiles on faces the world over!

I absolutely loved the devlog series for nightstones just like thousands of others and your journey has been super inspirational for a solo game dev like me.! In fact I started posting about my game on YT just after watching you.!
Wishing you all the best for the launch. Your success is well deserved. 💜

[IndieScapeGames]

I love the bugs <3 Congratulations on the successful Kickstarter and can't wait for more!

[BrianPirrip]

So great to see you making another video!!.. love the trailer to Night Stones!.. Excited to play the demo!!

[canadianqueen]

just finished the demo and very happy to see where this will go! I really love everything about it!

[NoTimeLeft_]

As a solo indie developer first and foremost congratulations on meeting your goals. As I am working on my first game and it is far larger than I anticipated your quest gives me hope that someday I could find similar success with my project. Game under my channel.

Something that I notice is that I CONSTANTLY see communiry posts when watching YouTube on my phone, but hardly see them when in my PC. I don't know why this is, but this may be a reason why there's many people saying they found the kickstarter via YT and people saying they had never heard of it. Gosh, online platforms are weird. Anyways, I was so excited to see it funded! Congrats!!

[SlothFang]

You failed to notify your YouTube audience about the kickstarter. You might have succeeded in your kickstarter but fail to realize you didn't reach in every corner and failed to reach your true potential in the kickstarter. Next time, TELL EVERYONE!

[Duke]

the parts towards the end where you go through the game without a narration/script is pretty cool! I think you could sprinkle stuff like that in future videos.

[DanGameDev]

Just watched the trailer - it is amazing! Congrats on the KickStarter campaign!

[YahyaDanboos]

Awesome progress, love seeing you reacting to testing finding bugs, always funny how testers find all kinds of stuff that the developer never thought of trying 😆

[aftnareld]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your insights on the KS campaign, as a fellow dev doing through one right now, it's great insight! And hope you have fun with that yatch you definitely bought 😂

[SephirothinLEGO]

should have promoted the kickstarter on youtube

[Magicguy]

Dude awesome update and so happy to see that alpha testing is catching those crazy bugs 🐜 lol congrats on the kickstarter!

[BernhardMartinak]

I just love how chill u are about the bugs they found anyhow :D

[gamedevgobrr]

Congrats on making next fest! Been watching your dev logs and you've done an incredible job!
