love this style of video & TetherGeist looks so freaking awesome :D

The new video format/series is a win! It is tough being solo and trying to squeeze in any time I can to work on my game with adult responsibilities. I do as you do with treating it as “fun time” though.

I find that unfortunately team synergy often comes from choosing people that are easy going and generally accepting of others. This goes back to the idea that you should meet many people and fill your gamedev team with people that have a differing skill sets from you. A lot of meeting the right people comes down to luck but you can always stay friendly and interview lots of people from a random discord post you made saying your looking for a team mate. Those discord servers do work and I have found some great friends there. That's the advantage of working with gamedevs that are your friends, chances are if they like you, they will probably like another one of your friends that also likes you 😁

Great content! Btw, do not be quick do disregard Godot as a 3D Game Engine.

Wishlisted! As a fan of platformers, I'm looking forward to the release of your game! Your story is inspiring and resonates with what I'm experiencing right now. I have a full-time job and am on the verge of creating an indie dev team to focus on our own indie games.

Love the format, it's always nice to see a face behind the voice. I also have to admit that I would have never guessed that TetherGeist is a spare time project. Looks very professional to me.

Yooo very good vid, bro! ty 🔥

1:46 dropped that 5 second clip like we wouldn't notice. This looks amazing, the background reminds me of dead cells and I love it!

I had to reset my youtube recommendations recently because my bubble shrinked way too small and now I finally got a lot more indie games in there. With that you popped up in my feed. And boy I'm glad you did : ) I'm a burned out game AD (with his self designed indie titles too) who moved away from the industry to illustration - but the way you make this game is exactly the way I always believed it should be done and it's heartwarming to see it. If you allow me one tiny critique: I don't particularly like the title - although I do understand it I find it too complex and cold for what you develop. It sounds like a horror-puzzle :D Other than that just by seeing it played I was surprised where you can land with your foot in the town. It might be part of the puzzles to figure out your way there - if yes just ignore my comment - but if not then some thin highlight might work on those ground elements?! I don't know. Just thinking while typing. Keep up the great work, I'm subscribing RN. :)

That buns culture is so amazing! Fascinating even!

5:49 Glad to see another fan of their music!

We love Mae and her red hair

The bun being a cultural simbol is a master move

I am in absolute awe of the production quality of not just Tethergeist, but your dev logs!

When you say higher aspect ratio 2:38, did you mean resolution?

Game looking beautiful and full of character.

You always put so much care into every part of this game and it really shows

It's another great video, my friends. It's so beautiful the artstyle in this game.

I LOVED this video, guys. KEEP IT UP!! The game looks GORGEOUS!!

This was a very interesting breakdown. Character colour choices being partially based on the background seems very obvious in retrospect but it was something I hadn't considered.

The game looks amazing! You guys managed to give this project such an unique style. I watch a lot of devlogs and many of the games I see are struggling to find a style, they just blend with many others, there is nothing special about them ( visually speaking ). Even the 2D here is so good, so unique. Everything is very inspiring! Congrats and I can't wait to play this game!

love these vids, they get me super motivated

love her :)

I've never really seen chronic pain represented in a video game before, so it was another pleasant surprising when playing the demo! I've struggled with it a lot, and it felt weirdly nice playing as someone going through the same thing. Love the progress videos!! <3

I definitely love the character and art decisions towards Mae’s design. The cute/spunkiness fits her well.

Excellent video! You have a great narrator voice that kept me interested for the entire video! Your game looks great and extremely polished. Wishing the best for your team and the game!

it's really awesome seeing the process of developing the characters, really poised to see more like this

Id love to hear more about the progress and though process of her design, and how it evolved to the final look. that image at 0:54 has an entire story to tell.

Amazing devlog. Cool to see the background behind the choices made. Everything is on purpose!

the design is beautiful

I saw your Batman Beyond character designs, and I just wanted to say that it is one of my favorite shows

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for sharing your though and decisions. Also for making a so beautiful game under Game Maker. I'll share this video to my Concept Artist to inspire her and give her confidence. We are working on a much smaller retro arcade game with Game Maker, and seeing games with this engine inspires a lot. Thanks!

once again, it's a very good video that continues to inspire me, and this kind of video helps me to better understand the process of creating a protagonist. Thank you

🥰🥰

Loved every second, it's always fascinating to hear about the design process of characters and the justification behind them!

Loved hearing the process of this!

Love your guys videos, keep it up!

Love it.

Nice try Jordan, you almost convinced me that it's not just you working on the game ;] I loved the part about "giving Mae a little piece of myself" <3
