I watched all of this guy's videos and now I need to find a similar channel but all the gamedev videos on youtube are really shit


It's interesting to watch someone make an actually experimental game rather than roguesoulsmetroidvanialike. He solves a bunch of problems throughout the videos and is just generally entertaining. Also, I'm 99% sure he's a chud because he plays clips from Norm Macdonald occasionally, and stuff he says.
You might like the Thouest Thee/Wrought Flesh devlogs. It even has inventory Tetris!

Not really the same because this guy is setting out to make his dream game for himself and doesn't care how long he spends developing it or what people think, wrought flesh was a gimmick game with mediocre reviews :(

Now that I'm watching your video I'm reminded of when I'd spend hours watching Zombie City Sims where green dots would shamble around and infect pink dots while the blue dots had guns and would try to fight back. I even emailed a guy recently asking him to fix his Java sims. He replied but told me he wouldn't :(

Watch the other videos too, zombies are just something his game has because it's a simulation. He gets up to all sorts of hijinks like cannibalism and race wars.

Yet another example of designers making games worse because they're afraid you won't see the content they've made.

Actually never heard of this game before somehow(?), is it worth playing?
Going to guess it just wasn't marketed in America.

Guess I was right
"Coverage of Soulbringer in North America seemed to be limited … Awareness of the game, at least in the US, was low"
