    Islanders is a charming, minimalist city builder made by three game design students. I bought it for $5 but it has eaten 150 hours of my life, so you decide if that was a good investment or a huge mistake.

    Hi I just spent three hours of my life watching these videos so I could beat my father's high-score in the game.... And I don't regret any of it, your casting style is well suited for this game, and I appreciate the dry humor.

    Was very surprised seeing how few subscribers and views you have considering very high quality of the videos. Really enjoyable experience watching you min-max all of this islands and explaining everything. You sound a lot like professional youtuber, hopefully you'll continue doing these.

    I think hyper optimized islands like this really show where the design of the game itself could be better. The game would be the most entertaining if it was accurately able to reward aesthetically pleasing islands. Obviously, it's not possible to do something like that perfectly, but there is definitely some potential left in this game specifically, and a lot more in similar games that might be made in the future.

      That's an interesting perspective - I wonder is machine learning could be used in the value algorithm. The problem I foresee is that, if the game scored me on some relatively arbitrary guide to aesthetics, I'd be much more inclined to hover buildings around everywhere, checking their values. I think it would be more challenging to develop an understanding of what scores well.

      @@TheConnorRoberson I personally find the aesthetics of high scoring islands to be really interesting on their own! I guess what I mean is, I like seeing what kind of island will grow out of playing optimally for score, and I think they usually end up looking pretty fantastic

    You're a wonderful commentator and this was super relaxing to watch! Hope your channel grows! P.S. I can't be that weird for taking a look at this haphazard hyperoptimized city and still thinking it looks like a nice place to live. Especially if everyone there was as friendly as the colorful, simple art style.

    As NoxAndry said, the quality of these two videos were fantastic. I already had bought Islanders and just wanted to see how others got good scores, but I continued watching you for all the entertainment and relaxation you gave with these two. Definitely enjoyed, and you easily earned a new subscriber. It was a pleasure finding this channel.

  • @moonlitegram
    @moonlitegram Před 3 lety +2

    Awesome watching how this turned out. Nice job man. Also got me to rethink my city planning as I never thought to eat negatives with the city centers or shamans before to pump the mansion and house points. It really pays off though, especially with those wall plateaus that let you double dip on that set up.

    • @TheConnorRoberson
      @TheConnorRoberson  Před 3 lety +2

      Yes! I think having a good intuition about taking negative scores is one of the key skills to develop to improve at Islanders. I try to always work on mine.

How do you feel about Russia? How old are you? have you ever been to Russia? Do you know Russian? You have a pet? I ask questions about Russia because I myself am from Russia. thanks in advance!!! I hope the questions were clear, Google translator is not very accurate. keep shooting videos! very interesting!

    Hey Connor! I just recently found an interesting little game called Tiny Islands by David King on itch.io, that's kind of like a lite, 2d version of islanders. I was wondering if you might be able to find out some high level strats for it in a one-off video?

    9,813 is not 10,000. You should've honest entitled the video "almost 10,000 points on the first island."
