A lot of them are not amateurs, but corporate greed, mismanagement and creative corruption prevents them from actually being useful. Not everyone has the means (in the best circumstances) or the sheer balls (in the worst circumstances), to go out by themselves and try to create a game from scratch. But some do, and we owe our thanks and support to them.

Having random noises in the forest that make you wonder if "it must have been the wind" would be pretty cool. Pausing the music to try to hear what it was and then resuming from where you stopped would be immersive.

I have been following the development of this game with the same passion that my grandma watches her soap operas with.

I honestly forgot you did a full engine port mid-way through. Pretty outstanding! Looking forward to the new demo.

You are a fucking wizard, an archmage even, and an inspiration to every indie solo dev out there. 🎉

I don't think I can stress enough how impressed I always am by your 3D art skills. I aspire to your level of detail on such low poly models. I wish I had learned how to do that sculpting stuff in college, it looks so good. One thing I notice, that maybe hasn't been ported over yet, is that all the optics you've shown so far don't look like they have any magnification, but I assume that is a work in progress The details on the gun handling are so slick, like not cycling the action if theres a round in the chamber, and the character's trigger discipline while examining the gun, such good little details. And the fact that those animations are by hand is just so impressive I just love the Stalker-esque vibe in the hangout spots, this game might be the first game I have seen since Anomaly mod that captures those nice cozy hideout vibes. What might be a cool detail for one of the hideouts would be to have one of them running off of a little Ecoflow/Jackery style solar generator, so all the electronic elements are gathered around the generator, and outside you see the folding solar panels setup like on the roof or on the ground outside with a cable leading back to the building

Great update! The attention to detail is amazing. I rarely get excited about new games, but I'm really looking forward to the public demo now.

This dev is gotta be one of the best devs out their, for their dedication and care and love for their project. Never respected a dev more.

Usually I have an attention span of a goldfish but your videos make me sit still for 20 minutes and enjoy the amazing work you do.

You know its going to perform well when you look at the tri count on those assets. Well optimized. Fantastic effort and skill form the dev again.

what you've achieved here honestly blows me away, there are a few thing I can see that can be improved like weapon and hand models or animations but the atmosphere you've created for the game really shows through

Damn, even the magazine release lever is animated? Anyways all the animations were really well done. Also even a little sway of the trees from the wind adds so much ambience to the game, didn't realize it was this needed until I saw how well it works. Also the water shader and buoyancy of all the objects, just perfection. Keep up the great work as it seems there's nothing (atleast so far), that can hinder the amazing progress of the project. It's 🔥.

I am studying video game development and seeing what you are doing from day 1 is something incredible, a thousand respects to you

huge respect for the great work sir here is a little suggestion , have 2 types of reloads , slow casual and fast combat one

​@@EduAmericam I think the idea is that out of combat the player character would not feel the need to do a max speed mag drill.

I really like and appreciate the fact that the trader character is looking a whole lot like P. A. Turpeinen :D keep up the good work!

This project is a massive inspiration for all of us newbies to game creation. You really manage to show just how good and polished a 3d game in godot can look where most other games are 2d platformers. Very impressive and encouraging!

This is what my work aspires to be, thank you for sharing your journey so openly!

This is looking fantastic. Can’t wait for the next public demo!

The rate of your progress on this project truly defies belief. I'm also working on a game in Godot - a simple 2D side-scrolling shooter that's coming along in little baby steps - and you're absolutely storming ahead with this big atmospheric 3D shooter. You're clearly highly skilled at your craft, and putting in far more work hours than I am. I take my hat off to you, sir. One suggestion: when you stop playing the instruments, it sounds pretty abrupt. For the harmonica, there's a long reverb over the track that disappears when you stop playing. I'd remove the reverb from the audio file and have Godot add reverb in realtime, so you can still hear it echoing after you stop. For the guitar, maybe add a few little random fret/pluck noises that trigger when you stop playing. In both instruments' cases, I'd also add a very quick fade-out when you stop playing - maybe 200-300 ms - so that it sounds a little less sudden.

Always super happy to see progress being made! I personally feel like wind shaders during stormy weather should be just a tiny little bit more wavy :)

This is evolving into a literal fever dream of a game, and I've always believed in the vision! I can't wait, we all believe in you, and want you to succeed.

We support you! Take your time, and make this game what you dream of it to be. In a world today when game devs are only fueled by money, passion is rare to come across and cherished by us gamers. It's easy to tell when a dev is truly passionate for the game/world they're building, or if they're just doing it for a nice paycheck.

hell yeah more vostok updates, mad respect for your work, your work is amazing and was done in such a short time, keep it up.

Very impressive. I am excited to play, even just a demo.

This is insane. I can't wait for release. STALKER GAMMA is one of my favorite FPS of all time and this looks prone to take place right by its side. Please add visible bullet holes on enemies if possible! It would add a great feeling of impact, immersion, realism and visual feedback!

Amazing work. Love these videos. So nice to hear about the inner workings of your process!

Amazing work as always ❤

I literally just don't understand how you've done what you've done so far, and with such astonishing quality. I mean at this point your 1PP animating alone has gotten so good that it's not SOME of the best I've seen, it's essentially the best. Cheers - much love friend

As always, absolutely amazing work! I cannot wait to see how this develops further! You're by far my favorite Dev out there. Your hard work shows through and the dedication just as much

Absolutely beautiful, great that the second demo will be out soon!

The progress is insaneee! Your passion and work is incredibly obvious. Keep on grinding dude, I can't wait to play it.

The time, dedication, the attention to detail and the hours of hard work you put into this never ceases to amaze me. I’ve followed from the early beginning and every single update you put out just blows my mind at where the project is heading and the improvements and additions being made along the way. I can’t wait to experience this in its full glory one day. But please, don’t rush anything, release it all when you feel it’s completely done. This is a masterpiece through and through.

This is insane. I love it. The amount of progress Antti has made in less than 6 months is astonishing. Great work with the ragdolls as well, they feel a lot more "kinetic" than ragdolls in other games, kind of reminds me of whatever system GTA IV had going on. Hyvää työtä!

my man finding his own assets by going through abandoned buildings is insane realism

I greatly appreciate your dedication, continuous hard work, and passion. It's what separates the winners from the losers and a good game from just another poor attempt of a game or money grab. Hopefully, the big-name companies are taking notes.

Must say i've followed this project for a long time now and just love the constant transparency and insight into development, I hope at some point you can expand your team and help push your vision more and more, and selfishly just can't wait to play this game in the future, keep up the hard work!

Hey man, this project and your dedication are absolutely insane. I'm honestly jealous of your work ethic and talent. This game is going to be a blast as an EFT player, seriously looking forward to it!

As someone that has just written a few design documents and started learning gamedev with Godot, progress like this is really refreshing and encouraging to see. Needless to say, I want your project to succeed. Keep up the great work! :D

This project is truly inspirational, it's the reason why I started getting into games development myself, keep up the great work!

Holy hell, this game just keeps looking better and better every time I see it. I have the utmost respect for what you do and the process behind your construction of this game. I watch every single one of these episodes like a kid at the movie theater. I have not seen quality videos like this from most youtubers out there. Continue your amazing work on this game. I'm sure many stalker fans who are watching this video definitely coomed their pants when you pulled out the guitar at the campfire )))

The attention to detail and passion is obsessive. I don't know much about this game, but the way he was placing those rubbish bags, to the smallest pocket detail on the character outfits shows next level passion and an eye for detail. Let alone the gunplay animations and reloads. It's mind-blowing and really puts to shame what some of these AAA game developers have been putting out recently. Unbelievable work. I'll be following to see progress.

amazing stuff as always, beyond excited to try it out

Respect brother, as always one of the most creative devs ive seen.

One of the complaint i had for vannila stalker was that it had the same strumming animation for every track, even in fingerstyle but here the animation feels very real. Also went he went inside water to show the shader and sfx it was so hypnotizing!! I have so much more to say but in short this is pure art, and you're a great artist Antii. Best of luck

Actually impressive. Keep up the good work
