@@LostRelicGames Mark stop begin stupid. how stupid the new sprite looks. The other one was a 100x better
The new character makes the game look so much better! He looks awesome!
I honestly didn't care for the previous visual update, but my goodness, this one is absolutely undeniable. Epic tier work there, man.
Ohhh yeah this game needs a bunny with beer🍺

This is a fantastic video. On the surface it's about graphical changes, but it's really a strong lesson about letting go of something that had a lot of work put into it. Thank you for the video. (and what an upgrade!! totally matches the feel! Can't wait!)
Awesome. Honestly I was never a huge fan of the old design, but now I am fully on board - the game is starting to look SICK! And the new design is going to appeal to your target audience, I think (metalheads like you and me). I also get that same rush when I get to playing my game. That little tickle you felt when you first imagined what it'd be like to finish and release the game of your dreams ... it's like a reminder of that feeling.
This looks so much better now. The animation and character design are a perfect fit! Character hair and clothing weight is something I want to do too.
Even with the exact same player statics (attack damage, defense, jump force, etc) the new look makes it feels waaaaay stronger, faster and more bada**. Great improvement! Congratulations!
Just saw your short and had to watch the video! What an example on why the main characters visuals are so important for the game. Great job! 🎉 Love it!❤
This is your best devlog yet; new character and animations look awesome!
Awesome work right there! I really like the hair animation.
nice one its crazy how much difference a "small" change like that can make. thanks for sharing this
Man that is so much better dude. I thought it might not fit with the style of the enemies, but from what I can see it still looks coherent with the rest. Good work
That looks awesome. Nice work! This game is so inspirational. Love watching the journey!
Aww mann I hate to say it but I really loved the previous design! I loved how he looked like he tried to be a viking so bad but doesn't really quite fit the stereotype with his shorter skinnier posture making him more unique. That's just my opinion though in the end the thing that matters the most is that you are satisfied with the endproduct!
Awesome work I love this new character style. The more you work on it the better it becomes !
Already had wishlisted… Looking great! Can’t want to come out!
Great progress in overall quality! A lot juicier:)
That’s sick! The character looks really good
Dude this looks amazing. Seriously cool work
Best first minute of any devlog I've ever seen.
Awesome! I love your videos! This is really change for better! Love the new look!

Thank you Luke!
This one looks soo epic, great work, now the character looks like a real Viking
Bro you are so funny! I laughed out loud several times, which I don't normally do! I've been subscribed for a long time, didn't know you were so funny. Please incorporate more comedy into your videos!
You've done it again... nailed a change that really works. It matches the theme/gore now.
looks very good and much better ! Especially the hair.
missed watching you man! known you for ab 2 years now, been busy with highschool recently. will get back to game dev very soon
What a great Job! really brings the badass dial all the way up to 11
Aye, that looks far better! Great work!
Huge improvement -- well done man!
DAMN! The game is really coming along! What an inspiration. I gotta get back to work on my project 😅
Coming along nicely!
The new character is a beast, love it. Noticed that he comes out of those bloody battles clean, would be sick to see some blood splatter from the enemies on his face and body after.

I'm currently adding blood to just the axe head for a few secpnds. I did some early tests on the body blood with frame matching and shaders, but couldn't get it quite right. Will keep exploring. I agree, needs something!
You had fun making this! It shows :)
Been watching videos for I think a year now waiting for this game to release. I play a lot of shooter games but my child hood had a lot of platformers and for some reason your game perfectly touches all the notes on a game in this genre that I love. Excited to do a playthrough and see how the game does when released :)
Great, funny vid, the new character looks much much better! 💯
Just from watching 'Mothership' Pass the game challenge and gotta say, this looks freaking awesome!!! Great job there and great job here!
1:56 yeah! MAN!!! What an upgrade. We aren't in chibi land anymore. 3:25 aw man, poor bird. This was a great devlog!
Love it! Great improvement!
Playing your own game when it starts to somewhat come together and turn into real game closer to your vision is such an amazing High, I've only been working on mine for a year but I had a similar moment lately that just got me addicted to gamedev lol.
Super cool, dude you're giving me more inspiration to make my own game, dammit I wish this game will sell alot, you make such an awesome work :)
Wow, amazing update!! This looks insane
Great art, great animation, great video... great work!
Love the changes and also the devlog was funny as hell! 🤣

Hey man, I love the new character. Great job! Also your videos are brilliant. Instant sub :j
Bruh this updated character fits so well with the game, its incredible!
I Like it! Keep updating it! It will be an amazing game.
Omg this video was so much fun hahaha, well done. Perfect format and content and update IMO. Game wishlisted Note: The shield is so great too. Mind making it more directed upward when blocking? Triggered my OCD in the video, anyway small stuff, good job!
I’m surprised at how much more fun this makes it look
Really good improvement! Previous character has his charm, but the new one is awesome, more bad ass, charismatic, perfect. Nice work!
Man this looks awesome!! I’m guessing you’ve already found a music composer at this point in development, but if you haven’t, I’d LOVE to chat and send you my demo reel. Medieval fantasy/tribal/Viking-ish music is my favorite genre to work in. I do code/SFX integration in Wwise too for dynamic interactive music. Anyway, I’ll definitely be watching these dev logs! Excited to see how it unfolds.
Awesome work!
good update! zooming in for big attacks could add some juice and highlight those awesome hair details
I love how you are using Adobe Animate for graphics, there has always been something so awesome about this, and it allows you to hold onto just a little bit of that "Flash feel" from the olden days because drawing in that application was always so great, smooth lines, easily manipulated, tween... Thank you Macromedia
Awesomer ! Great work mate
I absolutely love the new change it looks great!
This looks so much better, no comparison needed
That jump attack looks really satisfying
Yeah it is looking much better now! Looking forward to see the Fem-Fur version!
Amazing changes, chracter looks brilliant now
Your game looks awesome man !
Looks awesome!
This is a well needed update. Looks amazing, nice work dude! But now you´ve created a problem for yourself, you need to update the steam page to include the new design.

Looks way better and more fun to play. Definitely more iconic.
This is out of the box a absolutely powerfull upgrade to the game! I liked the catonish one before but this one looks so more mature now :) and as your Game grow you character should also with it. And you have done a great job! Thank you
Hi there! Your game just leveled up 20 times and invested all points in Charisma. Congrats for taking the courage to make the change and for the amazing final results. I see myself going through something similar, I have to trash all placeholder art and character I've been using so far. GG
the hair kinda reminds me of celest, glad you added it
Game is just looking more and more dope each time I see it!
Giga Chaded!!! Fantastic update!!! Love it! The old 'chibi viking', would love to see him as an funny NPC or even as a villain "boss fight"? Can't wait to play Blood and Mead! Rip and tear brother!
Great you giving him a look
What a great change!!!! It looks a lot better!!!
To be honest, this upgraded your game so much, just one thing can improve it so much, great work !

Hey thanks Rakun!
yeah... you got a hit in your hands with this one for sure!
Awesome update, can't wait for the game to release ;-)
Really like the solid look and effort put into this fantastic looking game. The main character being able to collect Viking helmets & sword / axe upgrades if not already there would be good. Maybe the Jelly monster having realistic blinking eyes and arms may work too. Although I get the retro look there. One thing that really draws me to a game is variety of creative colourful characters & enemies and creative bosses - A charging bull would be awesome here.
Absolutely love it bro 💯
Okay yeah, he looks SICK! Very cool😁
Sick!👌👍 What about more types of weapons!?😀
Looks great! Way better for your game than the previous iteration!
Dang this makes me question my characters kind of Chibi-ish design... lol~ I love your new design too, and you're right the hair is awesome! I wonder if it would be even cooler if the hair had physics! Light with rag-dolll/hinge-joint physics... But the animated hair is cool too!

Hey mate! I actually tried hair physics, but just couldn't get it to look quite right. Always felt disconnected somehow. All the best with your own project!
OK yea, I actually really liked your other character, but this new guy? Holy crap it looks amazing! Well done man
Looks way good!
This is looking great 🔥. I've always had an idea to be able to throw the weapon at the enemies as if it's Thor's Mjölnir and also be able to change your weapon on the character.
Hey John, i know Art is a big topic but i would love to see your workflow on designing a new character or environment. Keep up the fantastic work!!! 🔥😁
Looks Dope 😮
That an update I didn't even know I could enjoy, it's great
Love the new character!
Amazing what a transformation of the main character can have on the visual; style of the game.
Im missing the UT2004 announcer: "Double Kill!" ... "MMMulti Kill!" . The Berserker character looks much better now, not so toony.
Like to crush, crush now? Nice work John!
Loved it. Sooo coooll
looks super cool
