I've been on a quest for over the last 4 years to release my first major commercial game. It's a lighthearted 2d action/adventure Metroidvania called Dewdrop Dynasty. Think Hollow Knight but with Ocarina of Time Mechanics and a lovable world and characters from Paper Mario. If you've ever thought to yourself "How to make a video game" or "How to release my first indie game" then follow along on my quest as I try to complete mine.

We are on the same boat :), at some point you literally start treating you game like your baby and become obsessed with it, sometimes angry and definitely on top of the world when things work out, the fruit at the end due to my hard work is my driving force 💪

This is insane. Good job, so many devs (including myself) don’t have the motivation to finish a game lol and you’re managing to finish your dream game!! I will buy your game the second it comes out.
Excited to play this, dude! Congrats on the future release.
I'm so looking forward to this! I've loved following your journey in making Dewdrop Dynasty, it's very inspiring for me as a solo dev :D
It looks amazing :D The art & gameplay, I've been watching you for about a year now and the progress you've made is crazy!
i have a lot of faith in your ability to finish this game and make something truly great and im glad to have backed this project. we believe in you goodgis!

Congratulations on the release of your game! I hope to get to that point eventually. I'm still working on what kind of story my game is going to have. Because, once I get a story, my game will have better direction!
All the best for the rest of your development. I hope there’s lots of wonderful and creative moments where things start slotting together. Videos like this are so inspiring for people like me who are in the early stages of their game making process. So many thanks!
congratulations man! added to my wishlist :) fingers crossed on the delivery
So happy for you and all the progress you've made. Good luck on the homestretch! Can't wait to play it!
It feels so close now and is looking so cool! Good luck getting to that release point.
Hell ye! I've been excited to play Dewdrop for awhile now, I didn't realise it would be dropping this year!
Good luck on the release and congrats!
Love your videos! The game looks awesome and I hope the best for your game financially! I just started my own channel and made my first video and I aspire to do what you have done. Thanks for helping pave the path my dude!
Pretty cool, both the videos and the game, hope you a good release!!
I had this wishlisted for a couple months now😎. Been waiting to play this game for a while and I am glad to see that it is almost done🎉.
So proud of you Goodgis! You’re my inspiration for game development.
Congratulations! We hope to reach that point someday too! Great job!
Dude amazing work!! Been amazing to watch the growth
Dude. That FF9 music is banging. I recongnized it right away.
Im so excited to actually play this game soon, Im happy youre able to finish your dream game!
So cool that Giacomo helped you with the art! I’m excited for his Pinni game!
I’m so happy for you, definitely gonna play it 😊
Your game looks very juicy, colourful and fun! Good luck with your release 🙌
I've been watching you ever since i discovered ur channel, and i got to say, im so excited for this game! Thx for inspiring my own concept of my own game!
So happy for you that you finished the gameplay! You’re on the home stretch Goodgis!
This looks great. The quality of your video and game are both awesome. It’s such a feeling moment when you’re anticipating releasing your first project lol
1:55 _shudders from Minish Cap mysterious shell flashbacks_ How could you Goodgis...
i just adore the new art for po on the steam page
I am so excited! I wishlisted the game on steam, it looks so clean and fun! Cant wait!
congrats on completing dewdrop dynasty! wishlisted and hyped 🔥
The demo was so much fun (I loved using the gun as a platforming tool), so I'm super hyped for this project! Wish you the best.
Ahh I'm so excited. The more games I play the more the grander, larger, and most anticipated ones exhaust me. I can't wait to enjoy a smaller but I'd reckon, more passionately made game when you release it!! Best of luck
The game looks so incredible! I love Goodgis, gonna ask my friends to wishlist DewDrop Dynasty
Good luck on development up to release! YOU CAN DO IT!!

i already know what I'm playing soon. seriously though, amazing job with this. you've made me feel motivated to continue with my game
i have been wanting to get into game dev for years but i had no idea how to get into it and once i found your channel i found two things. one, dewdrop looks awesome and im really excited to play it, and two, game dev is a lot easier to get into then i thought. i was completely lost on how to get into it but then i found your videos and learned, not how easy it is because it is not, but i learned that anyone can do it which helped me get started on my own game. but what im trying to say is, im so happy for you.
Amazing work, can't wait to see all your hard work pay off! (I love the vending machine NPC, he seems friendly)
Listen Goodgis! If I remember correctly you added difficulty settings which were represented by flowers of different colorurs. Please change the heart-meter-flower in a way that it changes it's colour in regards to the difficulty settings the player picked. It is always nice when games visually represent the difficulty mode you picked and that would be the perfect way to do it. Please consider it ♡

The save flowers will change depending on difficulty. But your HP flower is something slightly different, which you will see eventually. ;)
I genuinely can’t wait to play the full game. I am *so* damn excited.
Thank you for this amazing game I’ve been whatching since dev log 1 🎉 🎉
Game looks amazing! Can't wait to try it out once it comes out, you got this! :D
You are probably one of my top gamedev channels, i just like you vibes man. YOUR VIBES.
Looks pretty good dude! Good luck!
Played the demo of the game and instantly fell in love. Genuinely can't wait for the full release!
Awesome work dude!
I've played the demo so mamy times, I've never been so excited about a game as I am now! really looking forward to the big day :D
This looks so clean, smooth and refreshing! (maybe because i like pixel art games :>) can't wait to try out the game :D

After what I've seen of this game on your channel the past few years I will definitely buy this game. You deserve it for all of your hard work! I'm an aspiring indie game dev and I'm on a Python course right now, it's definitely a learning curve for me but you've given me inspiration and motivation to keep going. Stay awesome!
This is really inspiring. I hope that your game will have a good launch.

I'm rooting for this game’s success. You inspired me to take my first step in indie game dev, despite not knowing anything about pixel art or even what engine to use at the time. While I'm a solo dev and my game is going to take a good while to finish, I'm making the best of every day progress is made on my project and I hope I get to experience the finish line that you're about to cross with your game, someday. ❤

This feels... different than other devlogs. Not just for you, but for many, many other channels out there: it feels like you are GENERALLY trying to FINISH this game lol. And as a result your work here looks friggin prolific. So awesome to see. Truly wishing you the best as you close in on this project!
I might be getting a PC later this year but I'm unsure right now, if I do I'll definitely be getting this game

I supported the kickstarter partially because I believed that you could make a cool Metroidvania, but I mostly did it so that you could work on that cool gnome MMO concept some more when you’re done with Dewdrop.
