"Partner for life" "Do other projects after Everland" Man this is so sad, wish to have seen this. RIP
Damn it man this is so gut wrenching. Sucks.
Didn't go that far ;)
@@Mrskotch1 Not funny. At all.
802 Garage saw another guy comment he did a piss poor job of battling his mental health(came off more as poor job at not ending his own life) sad to see that there’s no accountability
@@802Garage who said that?
talb is a great guy, im happy him and byron are linking up again.
Yep, good to see Reckful is surrounding himself with people that have a positive effect on his life now.
great couple
@@blazed_sins9192 agreed, i wish talb still streamed. i understand why he doesnt. hes a really chill guy to hang with in chat when hes just gaming.
@@blazed_sins9192 Rip
@@flethe1555 I am devastated man:( Such an amazing soul lost from this world...
Memorial to Reckful, I hope someone picks this up and finishes his dream, his game that he wanted to see a community grown together. Where people can be themselves and share themselves so they don't have to feel alone anymore.
This man is a really positive influence on Reckful. He's calm and rational, doesn't go on tangents, keeps him focused. No need to be a couple to influence each other in a positive way ♥
RIP
This didn't age well
@@unitystarlight13 Wrong, one person cannot save somebody. Talbadar had an immensely positive impact on Reckful's life.
Sad to see him go. Rest in peace
I only watched Reckful streaming a few times, but I'd always watch his VODs.
The world lost an amazing strong person. Rest in peace bro.
LOL someone in chat : why don’t you share some of that blankie with talb bro?
Imagine pointing out your own comment on twitch in the youtube comment section then making 2 accounts so people go to it so you get some attention
@@Crozbozy lmfao youre fucking crazy bro imagine being that paranoid
@@Crozbozy deep
I dont think you know what the definition of paranoia is you stupid fuck
Crozbozy hey man we’re all waiting for league of legends bronze rage #5: ultimate rage edition
"I'm already as satisfied as when the game is out" is quite telling I think. Byron was always looking for the NEXT thing to do and occupy his mind on and be addicted to. So he effectively had already completed the Everland quest in his mind and was presumably looking for something else like he always would.
"If you take an average person and give them some power and money, they will steal it from you a lot of the time." - Reckful 2020
Quote of the decade.
@NizzyNizerson it sucks really and it only makes it harder for those who really want to work and determined but your mind is tainted from the abundance of fuckwits that have previously worked for you.
Jewish gene kicking in
People are good actually
More like if you hire a random person, perform no due diligence, and give them money up front you will lose the money.
Rip
Rest in peace! I hope this game gets finished too, it seemed to bring him a lot of joy. It's really cool that they they sought people from the community. I'm a C# programmer by day, and I've done several unity courses and a few solo games, but I do not know many people yet. I suppose it makes sense that if we're all watching the same streamers, we'd all naturally have similar interests. Byron was truly a pioneer, and he had a huge heart.
I'm replying to your comment so late but I had to. I wanna make a game so bad, wanna be friends?
R.I.P.? byron died???
3:18 It's so INSANE that this is Literally the mindset that coupled with his Depression made him do it... RIP Legend
Might as well round that 270,000 off to an even 300,000 with another 30,000
bruh
lmfao
FREE CAR POG
Hey reckful I am an excellent driver I have been driving since I was 6 however my dad took away my car can I please have a 30k car I have been on the road my whole life until now
That 300,000 is looking pretty round let's get it up to 400,000
lmao the end was so wholesome
VaatiVidya Of all the videos I’d expect to see Vaati this is not one of them
Do you wish to know the lore of this everland?
hi Vaati
YO WTF VAATI? Crossovers i would never expect
Big Fan!
I`m so sorry, i just feel so bad for anything that i done...
thank you byron for good stories that helped me a lot. :c
old version/defuq, ill play it just to see is there a pool to close it

thats pretty cringe
Pool's closed due to Coronavirus

That outro is amazing! RIP the Natalie dream, welcoming in the age of the Talbadar! LULW
Oh man, I've been pretty sad about Byron's passing the last week. Hearing this last 9:30 (timestamp) about Talb and Reckful being together killed me
never forgotten
hahahha that was a nice moment of kindness between the two, thanks for sharing. I prolly wasnt going to get through the whole video
emjay2d that’s kind of the thing you hope a comment does, make someone watch to the end or at least enjoy a moment. :)
As for the degree vs experience argument, after hearing way too many opinions over the years I settled on the following: aside from fields which require a degree (medical, law etc.) experience tends to be way more valuable than degree however in some fields it might be hard to get the experience without getting the degree first a/o it's easier to get experience in desired field with a degree. IT / programming is still a fairly fresh industry filled with pretty liberal companies which are not afraid to hire people without degree therefore it's easy to get experience even if you learnt programming by yourself therefore degree looses value. If a degree is valuable then depends on many aspects including you, the area, the field etc.
talb's a homie.. im really, really glad everything has worked itself out
:'(
Talb and Reckful together are so wholesome :0
Are they in a relationship?
@@audibleadventures9004 No lol
@5:26 I hope that guy who quit school to work on everland will be alright...
Reckful, I wish you just took the time to think man. So many people miss you I still every week go to your CZcams channel hoping for a new video then I just watch the old videos and miss Byron
just make an mmo where lamar the lizard is the last boss
4HEad
Space Lamar i had to wait over 3 weeks for that shirt to arrive but man i was happy when i got it.
@@wolololer a cool lizard basically a legend just look it up
Loving this new reckful season. Great character progression
Shaping up to be the best arc yet?
Looks like it was the final season...
They ruined the ending though..
Fuck this ending…
not so much .... LOL
I'm glad you have good people around you Reckful. I know looks can be decieving, but you've known talb for so long and he seems like a genuine good guy with awesome intentions. Wish you all the best with Everland and future projects. Surround yourself with good people that you trust and try not to linger on mistakes of the past.
lol
I love these two so much. Talbs that friend we all need. Reckful could lose everything overnight and Talb would still be there for him, no question.
I am gonna miss you, Byron. You are an amazing dude. We love you. See you, space cowboy.
I just started watching Reckful less than an hour ago, from a recommendation on my home page. This is probably the 5th or 6th video I've watched straight and I was getting really into him. I was just about to go to his twitch to sub or follow (since im not a big fan of Hearthstone) and I find out from one of the comments on this video that he had unfortunately passed away to suicide.
I am shaken. I dont know what happened, but this guy deserved to live. He deserved better. Rest easy in the stars Reckful. You are a great human being, you won over so many like me even after passing. Amen Brother.
Rest now
It’s cool to see Talb. Takes me back.
"Long-term plans" :(
Seeing reckful happy actually make me so happy
Damn that outro still brings back memories
GVento7 the song he used for years is now being plastered all over tictok and zoomers think he stole it from that LULW
IKR?
What's the name of the song?
Thanks reckful, byron. You are the man we all needed in our lives, I hope you found happiness.
lol
Imagine getting to make a video game with your best friend of like 15 years back
Rest in peace weary traveler. You have reached the light. No more sadness. No more loneliness. Just warmth, and love.
sadly this isnt warmth and love.
Right let’s make suicide sound like a magical place
Lmao
Talb is such a great guy and very intelligent. Best thing that could have happened to Everland (and Byron)
this is such a beautiful conversation between two intellectual people. from such different perspectives too just.. damn... bummed I didn’t find his channel sooner... :/
Rest In Peace brother 💔 🕊
Bro that ending hurts my head. I want to do tbc arenas with you.
Yooo I've never seen what talbadar looks like, so cool to have 2 of the best wow players to ever live in the same room
i cant wait for them to both finally come out
Why can't you wait for that? Are you just being a fucking asshole?
Lets co fund this game and complete it.
I want this and I need this in my life.
Reckful has been in my life for past decade. I need this. I know I am not alone.
Let's not let Everland die with Reckful!
i read he needed millions thats why he needed investors.
he invested so much they can probably finish it if thy wanted to
@@darkervx There's no way a game like that would cost millions to make. He got scammed by his "employees".
@@dominiksramko Its crazy, he wanted a social game but they keep adding stuff and working on it, i think reckfull was just too ambitious for this and this talbogar guy was wrong to keep fueling every idea when they dont have the money, probably because hes a triple aaa dev. This was reckfulls first game they needed to release fast and move on.
@@darkervx What do you mean? They weren't gonna "release fast and move on". Unless you mean the devs. This was a passion project. Reckful just found the wrong people to work with.
This game destroyed him in the end in my opinion. We all know that Byron (RIP) doesn't handle failure really well.
On top of all the sentimental issues that he's been having, recently proposing to his ex on twitter. If he were to start to look back on how much money he wasted on the game, all the vultures abusing his trust trying to milk him or steal his ideas.
Add to that the fact to that the fact that the game wasn't even finished nor close to being the hit he had anticipated in his mind, I'm pretty sure all of this would send any of us to a deep abyss of depression. So sad :(
And this is just what we gathered from a 10 min for a really short time frame 2k18. This journey has really taken a toll on him that's for sure.
RIP Byron, you will be remembered forever in our hearts. AngelThump
@Toke Asaurus420 I don't presume to know what was going on in his mind as not even his family or closest friends could.
And yeah there are probably many factors leading to this tragedy, but the fact remains that even if it wasn't the nail on the coffin, it weighed heavily on him.
Even his friend & lead designer Talbadar said it.

In the End, nobody can save you from yourself. Sadly.
I agree, this game ruined him. Forsen agreed
I thought the game was in a good state since they had a stress test.
The last minute of the video is heartbreaking. :(
I love seeing Reckful being happy like this makes me feel good :)
Its just sadness now in me
Where in the video does he show happiness
All i see is sadness within him
@@theking088d He was always angry and negative.
Rest in Peace, you will always be my favorite CZcamsr ♥️
Just heard about this guy... what a ledgend!! RIP bro❤
So much reckful content! Love it!
Chilling on a couch
5 feet apart cause we're not gay
Share the blanket Byron
love you talb thanks for all you did
In 2008 i was watching reckful and talbadar play games together. Its 2020 and im watching game developers reckful and talbadar talk about making there game and what it took. What the fuck man
After posting found this said in Oct 2018, “ This is not gonna end well. Reckful isn't used to failure and when this game flops and he looks back on how much money he wasted on it he might actually lose his mind. Not even trying to be edgy this will hurt his mental hard.” www.reddit.com/r/reckful/comments/9sey8y/reckful_talking_about_how_much_its_costing_him_to/
The game didn't even release yet... The game had very little to do with it. Even if he losed ALL his money... he could just stream and make a lot of money back... Viewers LOVED him insanely hard...
@@MrLendran Exactly, plus he's very talented when it comes to economics/marketing/stocks and whatnot, so I highly doubt he would ever let himself become bankrupt..
@@MrLendran the game surely had big implications in his dead, his family, friends and himself delayed him going to a mental institution because he had 2 investors meetings and would miss them if he was gone for 5 weeks.
@@MrLendran maybe he couldn't take the flop of his life dream
hope Everland lives on in your memory Byron.
He is dead, he has no memory, lol
This comment seems a little rude. Maybe it's just me.
What do you expect from an edgelord? Their life sucks so all they do is seek the slightest amount of attention so they can be satisfied with that
@@Mrskotch1 Still being a shit and Toxic person after his death.
He didn't find Jesus and fell into nihilism.
Please remake Asheron's Call in your own style reckful. I want to go back home again, Darktide calls..
rest in peace Reckful...i hope grass is greener in next game! We will miss you...
Did Reckful fuked up at the start or creating online stuff is hard ?
(BTW thanks a lot , you are indirectly motivating people to make stuff . I've been trying to learn about these stuff for a few months little by little and keeps jumping from related topics to other topics . I think I will get back on that after this but I don't know what I want to do lol. )
Congrats, you got the deal . You totally deserve it .
GLHF .
Nice update! Good luck with further development, very excited :)
Thank you
Watching this at 270,000 views. R.I.P. Reckful
Good to see you are Happy!
Rip Byron..we will miss you so fuking much man..
that outro is good.man
Omg that outro change just killed me XD
Shit, i'll place assets on a map for you. That sounds like a dream job.
lmao talbs face on the girl at the end
Rest in peace... 😔
lmao the outro, good one!
Hey Byron! I have a sick game idea for your next project, but unfortunately I can’t realize it myself. How do I come in contact with you to pitch it? Best regards
Man, it warms my heart to see this bromance.
Anyone know where I can buy that shirt Reckful's wearing?
Rest in peace Reckful
I don't see this game working. Not being a hater, but I don't think people want to hang out on a "social" game nowadays like they did in the past.
When I first got online in the 90s, I played a game called Worlds Away, it was a 2D social game in which you could move around a 2D world, talk to people hanging out and change outfits and heads on your characters.
It was crazy at the time because not many people were online back then and talking to people from other countries was a novelty. You couldn't quite believe you were talking to real people. Not sure people would want to spend time in a world like that nowadays--if they did they'd already be playing one of the other games out there doing the same thing.
I just don't see that game market share being that big. And what is reckful planning to do for money? How is he going to keep the servers running? Will he get any income from it? Will there be age restrictions? If not you could get in to some sticky situations when it comes to minors being groomed on your platform.
did you know reckful got like a 20-40 million cut of a 100+ million deal he made for the goverment ?
Source on that deal?
@@leroyengels9597 wait how
Pfft.... did you get that analysis from Silicon Valley? If you get the users, everything else will come.
Tbh I feel like this game is for twitch. If people spend hours in twitch chat I can believe they will spend time in the game
I know you guys don’t want to increase scope, but a nice addition for maybe an expansion would be JRPG element with dungeons and drop tables. It’ll still be a social game in its whole but it’ll give the people some difficult things to do. The bosses at the end of the dungeons have to be hard too, like the group will most likely be on the verge of dying by the end of the dungeon.
I actually can't wait for this game to come out!
Is it out yet? If not then when is it gonna come out?
@@mihirkambli6879 hey its been 1 year i dont think its coming out
270K Of viewer donations and subs into a game o.o whew thats called love o.o
As much as it is hardbreaking to lose trust in people and a money. Everland for the players will be a much more enjoyable as youve already found majority of the 'kinks' (bad staff) out early. Its good you are learning quickly and learning from your mistakes.
Personally puzzle pirates was my childhood social game.. required some what skill/progression.
god I love and missed Talb
RIP 💗
Talbadar is amazing!
2:46 I feel bad for laughing but wtf, what kind of employee is that 😂
works for Everland, finally gets a meeting with tencent and pitches his own game im so doneee😭
Money
1:27 The spontaneous comment just hit me hard :(
everyone was lowkey bullying him, just look at the chat and his face expressions. No wonder he decided to kill himself unfortunately in the end...
Man people can be so sick and cold blooded, hopefully the guilt is eating them up
@@arminiuscherusci4410 of you think comments are what made him kill himself, you're a idiot.
@@PhilGerb93 I mean it isn’t the sole cause, but it isn’t impossible that they pushed him over the edge. Especially considering the video where he cries because one person in his twitch chat told him to kill himself, and told him how much it really affects him.
@@BRANDT9877 Maybe, but let's be real. His mental health was 99% of the issue here.
PhilGerb93 it was. There was a stream where someone told him to kill him self and he cried about it. His older brother killed himself so he takes it seriously
Wow. His outlook was so great here. He was making long term plans. The quarantine really fucked up his mindset. RIP Byron.
No. He has life long mental health issues. It was a matter of time, that is all.
@@thinking-ape6483 Don't be a simpleton. You're taking a complex subject and reducing it to an inevitable conclusion. The worlds leading experts in mental health have been talking about the effects of coronavirus and the rise in suicide rates since the start of the lockdown.
I just looked at your channel and am completely confused given your channels various lengthy videos on all topics including suicide. I clearly misspoke. I didn't sit and watch your 41-minute video on Bourdain's suicide, but given the nature of the comment, you just made I already know I would disagree on your ultimate conclusion. I'll apologize for the previous comment but understand any discussion would be a lesson in futility between our clearly dissenting opinions.
@@nybiggs Look at his family history; his brother killed himself; this clearly was in part a genetic issue. Sure, the lockdown might have made it worse but it was a matter of time.
@@thinking-ape6483 Everything you say is true. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and so is his mother. He was highly susceptible to mental illness, and his brother's death added incredible trauma to his life. But I still believe it was a perfect storm of circumstance and opportunity. If you haven't had a chance to watch Mizkif's video or read Talbadar's twit longer, there was large financial strain on Everland that was weighing on Reckful. Friends were checking in on him every day. But he was alone that morning. Who knows what stressors were activated that might have been avoided if he wasn't so isolated for months, or worried about the future of Everland? Many of his friends have mentioned that Byron had a need to be around people. He was doing this at a reduced capacity for months.
There's actually a big debate if inevitable suicide is really a thing. Some experts believe it is. Most do not. I for one, don't believe in hopeless cases.
So where do we get this blanket??
Let me write update posts the website. The game is progressing but there hasn’t been a new post for months :(
Maybe use the website more? Last post was like 6 months ago, the one before that was 1 year ago...
talb content FeelsGoodMan
Yolo start is the spirit. RIP
actually feeding talb FeelsGoodMan
Rip Legend
:( so sad, no projects after everland
This was a pretty motivating video to be honest.
Don't feel ready yet but i'd love to join a future project when im ready
fuck yea brother show em
I didn’t know him but I feel bad looking at person who’s died
Reckful is the kind of man you wanna invest in. He's going places.
RIP man
Thank god for Talb !
id have checked the game out and probably never touched it again but if theres some progression that might keep me playing
brian happy FeelsGoodMan Clap
Going to college for software engineering and I wish I had something I really want to make to want to code more often, to build my portfolio and stuff. It's just doing homework shit where I don't give a fuck. Maybe one day.
Ever try competitive programming? It's a great way to get your daily code in without committing to a large project
what type of progression system is it gonna be?
