I love the idea that as part of goblin culture, it is both rude and also expected for the mayor to read people's diraries

I love your content. Don't you DARE stop posting and pursuing your dream. I know where you live

I love how you implemented the animation for the exploding mushroom. It cried before it explodes, to make you feel bad - but then you get a “mysterious reward” for killing the mushroom mother and all of its spawn. That’s a hilarious contrast within itself. The game is gorgeous - I cannot wait to play.

Killing a mushroom before it explodes should drop their tears which you could craft into a potion that grants instant depression to an enemy... Love the game so far and the videos. You clearly put a lot of time and effort into these and it really comes through. Hope you have the strength you need for each week and looking forward to more content :)

Loved the unhinged human goblin drawings!

I noticed that you added vanity slots, which is the greatest feature of all time. I can not express the amount of dopamine that entered my brain when I saw you were adding hats. thank you so much. do you think there is any chance that you can add a potato themed hat? maybe as a low chance when farming or from an achievement? potato hats automatically make games 10,000% better.

Making a full game while having a full time job is so hard! I have a lot of respect for you man!

you should add a violin item that basically has the effects of a death whistle

This game looks honestly absolutely amazing. I love that a lot of ur mechanics have meaning and purpose that goes further than the mechanics use. Some of the best content in the space.

Watt, this game is amazing! I love terraria AND stardew valley, and this is an amazing blend.

You my good sir have a dream. You followed it. That alone is more than most can do. I really hope you succeed.

bro is the most chillest person on youtube change my minde

I’ve got a friend-group of 5 and hearing that the max player limit was 8 is unbelievably hype. We will watch your career with great interest ❤

This reminds me a lot of the survivalists in a very good way

I don’t really care for these kind of games, but your passion and amusing style makes me wanna try make mushrooms cry. Wishlisted.

I LOVE THIS YOU ARE THE BEST KZfaqR

It's really comforting to see that other devs are working full time, and the come home and work nearly full time hours on their games. It can be maddening 😂

I saw the notification for this pop up while I was at work and got wicked excited for the end of the day when I could get home, eat my one big meal, and relax with some KZfaq! I love the progress you're making and appreciate the updates. Keep em coming!

It was important for me to hear someone, who’s gamedev journey isn’t a full time job. Thank you!

Definitely excited with all the progress you've bean making. It looks awesome!!!

I absolutely ADORE these new UI designs. The inventory vermin idea as amazing and the idea that they turn ito pets after you get them rid of your inventory is genius. Also the other UI like the toolbar being a pelt and other menus bein filled with trinkest and shoddy made leather feels wonderfully goblin. I also got and idea to add to the inventory vermin, it would be kinda cool if they vere slightly animated and maybe the inventory could have a trashcan feature to get rid of unwanted items. And maybe that trashcan could be you dragging the items into the mouth of the possum or racoon and them just eating it. But I dont know how it will work after you get rid of them maybe after vermin leave your inventory there would remain a tiny possum puppy that could be used as a trashcan. But i feel like that puppy cant even take up 1 inventory space otherwise the players could want to get rid of them too

4:04 This is very similar to how the game littlewood solved this problem :D It felt great to play like that in littlewood, more personal. I wish more games would do the same. But think it would get tedious once you have a lot of characters all asking at once. Balance is hard, cant wait to see how you go about it :D

I have been watching for a while and i enjoy it sooo much, i love your style of videos and the great effort you put into them, keep going!

Really loving the progress you've been making. It's looking so good man! Thanks for sharing 👏🏽

I have struggled to find a path in life since i first went to highschool, at first i stuck to engineering even entering an engineering uni, then i found out that doing something im just "ok" with but not actually passionate about doesnt feel right and even thought it might be the "dummer" choice, I switched it up for film and philology. Started to get more and more into the things i actually always cared about... TTRPGs, writing, world building, character building, emergent storytelling, etc. etc. Now i am at a point in my life where i struggle to keep my hopes up for the future, afraid nothing will work out. I have a solid project in mind (writing/ttrpg/game related) but i just cant get any real work on it done... Cant manage to dig myself out of the hole of doubts. Lost in the "where should i start? How should i start? Whats the best way to start?" Seeing you, truly inspires me. Following your dreams, dealing with income, making content and being super smart about all of it. For as little as i actually know you Matt, i aspire to be a Matt just like you. Keep up the great work and if you ever doubt yourself, know that you are my rolemodel. ✨

this game is so cool! keep it up!

I have been consistently watching every single one of your episodes on this journey, found you on episode 3 I think and I'm in love with this. There is almost no channel where I'm this excited if a video pops up!!! It's so interesting to see how you go about making it and which little bits get tweaked each time and I'll hope the game will be a great success at the end (I will buy it, it's been on my wishlist since you could wishlist it!) So glad to be able to watch this journey and kinda feel like going along with you!

Hope you have a good day at work! Love your dev vlogs, super inspiring!

You should give a way to befriend the mushrooms, or maybe less hostile mushrooms you can trade with. But great progress so far!

you should totally add a “toaster” and have it explode in a massive electric boom if you throw it in water.

These devlogs and your drawings are always fantastic, great stuff as always.

You're awesome, thank you for working on this, you are an inspiration!

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen! I love it! The game, the goblin art, and I enjoyed the clouds and fog, it really did make it feel dynamic. Keep up the great work!

Was interesting hearing about your day-to-day, really puts into perspective how much work you do on this thing. Have a great one!

Eyy look at those lil characters. Thats a real lil fella this goblin. Cute. I will wishlist

Hey, hey you! Goblin Guy! You have some amazing ideas for your game, both for those of us who will get to enjoy playing it but also for yourself while making it!! Putting things in place now to make things easier in the future is brilliant. I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to play this when it's ready 😊

awsome progress. keep it up, seeing this series expand inspired me to learn unity and create my own stuff

lot's of progress! I admire your planning skills, please take all the time you need, no rush :)

First video of yours ive seen and im super impressed with your progress given the amount of time spent. This looks like a more enjoyable version of dwarf fortress with plenty of fun flavor. Great idea ive never seen anything with so much heart. Cant wait to see what you do next.

wishlisted. Impressed by your commitment and I love your style of gamedev and devlogs

I just came across your channel, and I love! I can’t wait to see the next update!

the games looking so good and your game design approach is amazing lovely to see

Watching your progress is inspiring and I think you're doing an amazing job

You have a ton of charisma and wit, super interesting project in all the interesting little details you come up with, a lot of personality to it, wow. I'm very impressed!

This looks amazing already:] you're an inspiration

This looks really cool so far! I'm excited to see where this goes!! ❤

Hi just discovered this channel! I can already tell this game will consume my life, and it hard reminds me of the survivalists. So excited to watch this game develop!

Just binged all of these today, can’t wait to see the finished product 💪

You're an inspiration! Seriously, to be able to keep working on a side project after a full time job is no small feat. keep doing what you're doing, you're doing great :) i look forward to your game being released! Hope this found you well

The game is honestly looking so great. you are doing an amazing job!! cant wait to buy WHEN you achieve it! (you got this). also, i love the idea that certain mechanics exist because it is more 'goblin-y'

Love that youre keeping dedicated youre a true inspiration

I love that tear detail with the mushroom sprite!! Having those small details goes a looong way with creating immersion and story to the world! Add more of those it’s awesome!

Your game looks absolutely amazing!! And seems cool btw. I got into game development myself recently and it is indeed time consuming when you have a lot of schoolwork, but seeing you staying motivated for your project makes me excited for my own too. Thanks and keep it up!

This is super inspiring and motivating to get started on a handful of ideas I have for games. I look forward to seeing more from this :D

Just found this game and absolutely love the art style and design, this video was super entertaining, so exiteced to watch you through this journey. Gl

game's looking great so far. Apparently I've wishlisted it already. Really inspiring to see your workday!

I always liked rare events and surprises that could happen. I havent stayed caught up enough to know if there are weather events, but rain storms that help crops grow faster or lightning strikes that leave scorch marks on the groun sound like they would be really cool! Maybe even a rare creature during the events or maybe something perhaps like a wyvern mayhaps, who knows...

From one goblin to another, this looks AMAZING!!! Like so good! Keep up the good work!!!

Love your content man! Your game is incredibly creative, and I love the art! Can't wait til its out, and you definitely earned my sub.

I can’t wait for this!! This video fully pulled me back in

This is so freaking cool. You're an awesome artist as well!

love the art and small pictures between narratives wish you would talk more about those!

Nice to see you continuing work on this amazing project. Today's video was also quite well written. Gl with the future bro

This game actually looks so cool! Wishing you the best!

I really love all of the silly goblin-y spins you're putting on each of these mechanics you're introducing, it's really fun!

Randomly got recommended this video. I’ll go wishlist and stick around for future ones. Looks like a game that I’d really enjoy. Thanks for sharing :D

Super cool! This is my first time seeing your stuff, but it looks great! I just started learning C# in Unity and seeing stuff like this is super inspirational for my own game!

I've been following your progress for over a year, and the game looks better than ever. Can't wait to see all the content you add and finally play it!

it's amazing to see how far this game has come! Can't wait to see what comes in the future!

You're doing awesome man! Keep it up this game is going to be amazing

this game looks awesome, I've found it quite inspiring to see all the cool ideas you've added put it on my Wishlist, can't wait to play it some day

Loving the progress! Game is really coming together💪🏻 Been sneakily following it like a goblin for awhile

This is already looking incredibly polished!

Love the concept of this game and have wishlisted on steam! I cannot wait for it's release!

Wow this looks awesome, keen to see where this is headed, no need to rush, i'll be waiting for release, very cool!

Your game looks so cute, I love the art style, I already recommended for my friends S2 Looking forward to new devlogs 💜

Absolutely love where this is heading!!

honestly bro i love the animation and animation is everything to me i’m looking forward to playing this game w my little brother keep at it i’m very excited

Great video. I think you've really grasped what to emphasize to make it feel different and less human; the diaries are great.

Love these updates, looking forward to the game!

Interesting mechanic with the diaries. Great work! The game looks awesome, keep it up!

I love how much care you're putting in this game, I'm looking forward to play it, it looks amazing keep the great work 🔥❤️

Your approach to game design and art direction and comedy in your videos is always so refreshing, I can see Isle Goblin becoming something huge if the right people see it. Sidebar I think your schedule would actually kill me if I attempted it but I'm happy it works well for you :3

love the art style and animations. when i first saw a video about the game i went straight to steam and put it on my wishlist, i love both terraria and stardew and this looks to be a great mix of the two. Keep up the good work!

This looks amazing! I will for sure be playing.

I can tell already that this game is going to be amazing! It has so much personality

Love the newish animation style. Especially the freaky close ups!!

Love your ideas on game design, expanding the inventory by repelling critters from your backpack and for them to become pets is the exact creative details and touches that makes me love games as a medium.

Such a cool concept, can't wait for the release!
