I dont trust Glotzbär

Basketball trick shots? YES PLEASE

Well for a vacuum It doesn’t suck

What can i say, his laser placement is just WAY too good!

*Everyone:* Jonas, do you prefer standing or sitting when programming? *Jonas:* YES

10:25 that actually scared the crap out of me

Ah yes, smart vacuum cleaners, just what the world needs.

Personally, I think the difficulty shaming is on key. Just adds another depth into how the AI is.

Neat progress man :)! And it's so great that you're enjoying working on this project after all this time. Keep it up and take whatever time you need of course ;D! As for changing difficulty and Squid shaming you for doing so I think it's completely fine (I wouldn't mind anyway). As you said he's taunting you no matter what you do, so that just adds more flavor to the experience and is pretty hilarious! The final boss looks really epic and that cringy music was right down my alley, great work mate :DD

Hey Jonas, so happy to see a video from you in my feed :). The basketball boss looks fun to fight.

"For me personally, I think it feels way more climactic now." "ERROR: This voice line has not been recorded yet" yeah it gives me shivers at how climactic it is also i think it would be nice if there were like 3 save files you can play on seperately plus some nice screen if you get 100% [finiding all the secrets, completing all the levels, etc.]

I’d like to give speed running this a shot, seems like a fun challenge and a good speed game with the brand new speedrun timer! Good luck with the game :)

Things I'm most excited about for Will you Snail? - The voice acting - The story - The amount of times i will fail at each level - The music - The charm Did I miss anything?

Hey Jonas, I never heard about the localisation. I am Kenyan and I can help break word to people here. I might translate it to Swahili, which may be a great thing because this will be the first game ever to be translated to Swahili. I think it'll work, and it might make for some interesting audience

The movement prediction is my favorite part of this video, there's something so charming in seeing it "behind the scenes"!

I actually love the end credits song! Wish people did more lyrical songs for end credits like in the Portal games so this makes me happy

For the easier difficulty voice line: You could place a voice line of Squid complimenting his "flawless program" or "superior code execution" (or something along those lines) so that he can still sort of trash talk without shaming the player. Also for difficulty up you could say stuff like "adjusting fitness parameters" or "adjusting training model" or something like that. I just think that a neural net reference would be perfect for a difficulty increase! Alternatively you could dynamically adjust difficulty based on time between deaths, or deaths for the current checkpoint, or something to that extent. Looks like an amazingly fun game so far, I can't wait to play!

That vacuum is smarter than most humans

Mama Squid: *dies* Squid: “error, this voice line has not been recorded yet”

"Mom can we have Still Alive?" "No we already have Still Alive at home" Still alive at home: 7:45

People don't talk about Jonas' composing skills enough I'm seriously hyped for the soundtrack!

I love the end song, you should put it on spotify

Ah, the typical struggle of an Indie dev. Remember: *You never finish a game. You release it.* I also am completely in love with the game I'm working on and I made some decent progress over the last weeks / months, but I don't even want to set a fixed decade in which it'll be done, yet, lol. Your boss explosions look really cool. You definitely figured out how to make effects "crunchy" and "not flat". I'm still far away from that but I actually found someone to help me with the sound design :) I'm looking forward to playing Will you snail. It keeps looking better and better.

That last scene is legitimately terrifying. “You taught me how to manipulate and kill on your behalf. ahaHaHAHAHahAha.”

0:44 secret when you stay with squid at the end??? Hmm... 🤔 I’ll keep that in mind :D

Love that end credits music, it reminds me of the ending to the Portal games, which is very much a good thing!!!

The last 10% is longer than the first 90%, keep going jonas! I look forward to every video you put out

6:22 "the new levels needed some zoooooooooooound effects" -Jonas Tryoller, 2020

as a new gamedev , really hope one day i can build something like Will You Snail , probably gonna try the game when it comes out.

That vacuum cleaner reminds me of my childhood lol

Gary the snail must be on one hell of a seaweed trip.

btw the credit song is kind of good as it is a more relaxing version of the main theme

Really need to try the under-the-shelf bug fixing technique, looks effective 😆 Loved the update man, keep it up!

I for one find the difficulty shaming hilarious , It really adds an extra level of depth to squid and I hope you keep it in. This game looks amazing and I'm really looking forward to it

*10:26** Why didn't you say you're also working on* *Five Nights at Vacuum's??*

I translated that boy! 7:12

I love this project, been watching since the beginning, and love watching the progress. Vacuum cleaner is interesting.

You motivated me to make a little puzzle game for fun, once I have a bit more time. I love how much you can transport your enthusiam for game development throught these videos. A few years back I bought the RPG Maker VX Ace but never ended up making a game, probably in part because I wanted to do something way too big right away. Especially your videos about like "50 Games in a day" or "Making a game in 72 hours" showed me how much more motivating it can be to make small projects you can finish in a reasanble amount of time. I also really enjoy the devlogs on will you snail, because it just shows how much work and thought goes into every detail of a game and how cleverly solved a lot of the mechanics of the game are behind the scenes. I'd say that I wish you'd make more videos, but hoestly you're already releasing a gigantic amount of videos if I consider that you're also developing a huge game on your own, so I'm really greatful that you take the time and I hope the added attention will ensure that your game is a huge success.

I think Jonas progressively loses a bit more sanity each devlog... and I love it! Keep up the awesome uploads man :)

I am so hyped up for this game! I really want to play it!

Ngl vacuums are smarter than humans normally, so I’m not surprised

I like your ball position prediction trick, very creative, I've actually never thought about doing that but it does make some things way simpler. Imagine all that time wasted with pen, paper and physics books trying to figure things out...

Now that's a cool as prediction system (that makes just room enough for mistake)

I'm upset that I actually jumped at a vacuum jumpscare.

i love the... what would you call it...the theme song for this game it has a very catchy toon and cant wait to here the entire thing when the game comes out

In the ending boss fight, you should make squid do different facial expressions, and hopefully you do crazy events like maybe a black hole at the end.

This was the first video I saw from Jonas, and if you rewatch the intro to this vid with that perspective, you realize just how set up it is for newcomers to enjoy/understand. 👍!

Finally! You added the main person in this game: vacuum cleaner! Now, all storyline can be understood by 110%

Hey Jonas! I love your videos. You're very smart, funny and not afraid to try new things which makes your videos way more interesting. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to you growing!

Dude this is fantastic work. The game looks so cool, I love the characters, the voice acting for Squid is amazing, the AI looks really cool and intense, and the humor is spot on. My fingers are itching to play it, those boss fights look intense and I have a feeling the controls are very responsive and intuitive. Keep up the good work man, you're a great inspiration to me :)

A long while ago this was just a “side project”. Now it’s a whole steam game.

it's interesting you're at "just" ~60k subscribers, you definitely output high enough quality content for 10 times that.

I had a really good laugh when you were talking to that stuffed toy lol

The vacuum cleaner jumpscare was pretty funny. Will You Snail looks like it’ll be amazing!

Jonas: I need to finish the game also Jonas: BONUS CHALLENGE!!!

I think it's great how he mocks you for lowering the difficulty 😂. But Jonas you could always update the game after you release it. I *really* want to get it soon!

Jonas: “And this here is Helpy!” Me: FNaF 6 and 7 flashback.

This game looks more and more interesting with each development update. Great work!

I checked your discord and there's 9% translation to Hindi so far, I'm so glad this language is being considered too! I'll see if I can find some time to help translate, even though I'm very busy!

I think WILL YOU SNAIL needs a multiplayer or double player mode

I'm ashamed that the last cutscene with the vacuum actually made me flinch xD

that credits song actually slaps though, good job man!

I really really hope Squid has custom lines for the speedrun mode It'd also be really cool if the other bosses had designs like the vacuum

Somehow the Will You Snail music is giving me nostalgia for the game despite the fact that it hasn't been released yet. It's like reserve nostalgia. Edit: Nostalgianticipation?

0:44 Easter egg with squid if you wait in final room

I watch devlogs left and right but jeez your devlog is on a whole nother level. Anyway, love how Will You Snail is shaping up!

That song has a portal feel to it yet feels unique loving it

This was so funny! I love these dev logs. THE END CREDITS SOUNDZZ AMAZING I WANT TO BUY IT!!!!! Please Jonas if you throw that song away I NEEEED IT :D 7:45

You scared me with a vaccum cleaner, well done

That jumpscare at the end scariest thing ever you should make a horror movie or something

Cant believe how underrated you are! Keep up the amazing work, im excited to play this!

I remember you saying if you knew this game would get so big, you would rather use unity than gamemaker. How do you feel about it right now? Would unity have been better suited for it?

*7:54** WE WANT THE FULL SONG!* 😄

This video was really funny and cool! And the progress looks incredible! Excited to see more in the future :D

Jonas, you kill me man..Your editing style is becoming extremely unique and entertaining! Great work :)

Yes, I love fighting vacuum cleaners Okay, for real now. It really shocks me how a game that polished-looking might release next year. But that's fair I guess, you show us the good parts that are polished enough and we think the game is almost finished. Take your time. I'm sure you won't release Will You Snail unless it is done the way you like. But just in case, don't rush it. (Also, these 3 months were more productive than the ones from your last video. Is it a result of planning or just spontaneous overhaul?)

2:50 that's an interesting programming technique! I should consider doing this 🤔

I know I'm a little late to watching this video, but this has got to be one of the best devlogs I have ever seen. I recently watched your video on How To KZfaq for Developers and this was a perfect representation of everything you were teaching in that. This video deserves more Likes!

Love the Art style and how smooth the controls look I’d love to play it when it’s done but I don’t mind waiting until the game is all polished and up to your standards

It's really cool to see gamemaker used at such a high level.

really cool, it would be cool if hitboxes would be more forgiving on easy difficulty (played winter demo, and that makes easy a bit frustrating), i like game taunting you for playing on easy though

Loveddddd how educational this video was! Keep it up and keep em coming! :)

Watching these have been inspiring. I started my project this year and I'm already very happy with where it's going.

You need to release this game asap so you can get to work on Will You Snail Too?

For the final song, maybe you could hire some professional singers? On an unrelated note, I am a professional singer...

I never got jumpscared by an vacuum, till now.

the way you organize what you need to do to acomplish each version is great. that breaks it down to more manageable chunks. my problem was i kept coming up with new ideas and sidetracking myself into oblivion . when i came across an error i couldn't fix i spend so much time trying to fix it i get annoyed and burnt out instead of setting it aside.

I adore all of the music that you're putting into this game, the credit song sounds great 😁

I am very excited about this now after seeing more about the player prediction! It seems like there's a lot of depth there.

I really hope this is a massive breakthrough in your career. This game isn't even out and it's already captivated your audience. Best of luck :)

I just keep felling more and more excited about your game specially that I haven't found any game like it that is really an original game idea keep up the good work bro 👍

Great devlog as always! The jumpscare at the end got me hahah

Loving the videos! Your helping inspire me to get on with my own projects....

awesome that u r enjoying making it :) the game it's getting amazing

Great game. You are going to be one of the big names in the indie scene. Keep it up!

The hype for this game is so real! I wish I could pre-order or something! Good luck on the rest of your game, it looks epic!

Nice devlog! I was always curious about the AI implementation but this time you gave us a little peak - good job! Greeting from Frankfurt :)

This is probably your best Devlog yet IMO. o.O

I just finished the game for the first time completely blind, I loved it! can't believe there was a devlog this whole time, this is so cool to see after seeing how good the final product turned out to be :]
