Hey everyone! My name is Matt and I'm an electrical engineer who makes pixel art and games. I've always had a passion for art, video games, worldbuilding, and programming/design, so I made this channel to document my dive into game development. I'm excited to make fun projects and help make learning pixel art more accessible.

16 months down! A lot of changes this time were smaller tweaks to gameplay so this video is a bit shorter. The next video might be the same, so let me know down below if there's anything else you'd like to see instead of the usual updates!

These last two months I've finalized the base for map generation, fixed a bunch of saving/multiplayer issues, and implemented plenty of sound effects and music!

4:38 what if one of the goblins wnats to be near a goblin that wants to be far from that goblin🤨
GOBS YAY
Making a full game while having a full time job is so hard! I have a lot of respect for you man!
This game looks fantastic, can't wait to see the final product. I could see lots ahead for you in the future.
Didn't know about those sonniss bundles, that'll be incredibly useful.
Particle accelorator cancer treatment is such an awesome phrase and it makes me super happy that you are able to work for a project like that instead of working on military equipment. It gave me some hope that my own degree could pan out to do good for the world. I appreciate you sharing
I think you should add random events or encounters quest-like, with some rare drops to make it rewarding. Something like terraria.
What the hell flashes on the video at 1:20 1:21
I have to say, you are a big inspo. I am still a kid, but i want to create games and i love your vids and devlogs.I am looking forward to the release!
you should make a sort of minigame option in the startscreen like minecraft has like hypixel but as part of the game itself ( if you want to ofc )
Watch out for me in the tree to your left >:)
also more outpost types?
Whats your opinion on adding evolutions to the goblins?
You should use some particles for mining/axe animations. emits particles of the same colour of the thing youre mining. That in addiiton to the bulging will be great feedback.
im from hampy
1:20 Woman Jump Scare.
hey just saying if the word "rumpus" isn't in your game yet it's kinda the best goblin word
This game still sounds amazing, cant wait for it to be done
U r stinky
looks great! cant wait till it releases! :)
Phenomenal! Learning so much! Thank you! I went and wishlisted too!
I hope you add more taming to game
This game looks really cool! Can't wait to playtest it!!!
i love you pookie
Thanks, I really like the chill vibe in your videos, I can’t wait for the game!
1:20 ... Interesting
I may be wrong and this could very well be a design choice but, it seems that your game doesn't have an "ultimate goal". I have observed games like BOTW, Doom, Stardew, Animal Crossing all have a single motivating goal which continuously forces (albeit slowly) you to progress. In stardew you are racing against time to make your Grandpa's wish come true and also the town hall. You are racing against time if you want to finish it (well it's chill overall but you are pushed slightly).
2:47 complete random question :D how did you make the transition from rock to dirt on the top?
It’s a bit hard to explain, but if you either dm me on discord or @ me in one of the channels I can show some pics of the sprites :)
Title of the game in the first 5 seconds! He's learning! <3

Loving the progress of the game so far! At night, I think the most fun, would be to include some night-only content. Might seem like lots of work, but some creativity might give the game a unique feature that might help get to the 75k wishlists. What happens at night? Elite enemies that give a choice of going to bed or staying up fighting? Side quests?
u r stinky
Like the game
what a cute game
Will their be mac support
Not sure yet, I have to look into how much time it’ll take. But hopefully someday
Excited for this game
I feel like the forced sleep mechanic sounds way too punishing - People falling asleep mid-boss fight, or while walking to an exciting bit of loot, etc... especially as I will 100% forget to pay attention to the clock. Goblins just passing out all over the land for nappies like a bunch of toddlers. Possible alternatives: Debuff that can be fended off with goblin equivalent of coffee? Or just a notification "!" on screen during the daytime when any awake villagers have demands? (Also, first time posting here because I am lurker at heart, but been watching these videos for a while and this game looks awesome, thank you for posting all these updates)
i suddenly found this channel again, omg the game has moved on so much, i’ll definitely be adding it to my wish list!! (75K here we come!)
so cool to see this game progress! best of luck!
unfortunately invitation for dc server is expaired
Yikes! Just swapped out the link, hopefully it works now. Thanks for letting me know!
just like yandere dev and project feline, a perpetual learner devlog with no game release prospects.
We’ll see!
Your game looks so cute, I love the art style, I already recommended for my friends S2 Looking forward to new devlogs 💜
Keep up the good work ❤️
Feet jumpsare for free!?? 😳
nice
u r stinky
This is my first time seeing anything about this, but it looks cool.
Stinky goblin happy.
When realese? I really want to play it!
No set date yet, might be a little while since I’m working on it solo
Game looks cool, seems similar to necesse, which is good because I love that game. Honesty it looks similar enough to where if you played necesse you could probably carry over some of the really good ideas from that game, like the in depth villager interaction.
Gob!
