Let us know what other games you'd like us to cover on Developer breakdown! (and here's a link to the full interview: www.patreon.com/posts/67516120)

One of the best games I've ever played. It is WAY deeper than it appears on the surface.

Love this - short and sweet, to the point. It's extremely cool that you're playing the game live in the interview because it can lead to some organic moments of talking about certain design choices, too. I'm here for this new series.

Andrew is the most chill sounding game developer in existence, he really needs to get his ASMR channel up and running.

This guy's a fantastic storyteller. It was also great to see his enthusiasm when he got to pull out the (kind of) physical version of the instruction manual.

As mainly a puzzle gamer (+dev) these days, the manual was the core game for me, with the rest of the experience existing mostly to support the discoveries in the manual. It was surprising to hear you hadn't considered asking about the manual at first, glad you ended up getting to it, I find the manual and its secrets to be the most innovative part of Tunic.

I am thoroughly impressed by this game. On the surface, Tunic is a Bloodborne-esque Zelda-like game. But, at its core is a meta homage to 90s gaming culture. Thank you for this video.

This guy is a genius. Looking forward to his following games

The devs voice is so amazing omg

I think the thing I like the most about Dicey is he is a man who keeps things simple, but does them right, even down to his interview equipment. Good camera, decent lighting in an organized yet natural room, and a studio quality microphone with the gain adjusted so we can hear him even when he's soft-spoken. This man is something special, and the game he made is going down as one of the greats in history.

The change from isometric camera to perspective was such a trip after putting many hours into this game and only seeing it as the former. Every other part in here was interesting and entertaining as well. What a way to kick off this series!

I heard about TUNIC at its release and I was like “ah, looks like a cute old school Zelda game… but as a Zelda fan, I rather play the real games” My best friend, last week, told me to not underestimate this game, he says that it has really good puzzles and that I should play it without looking at anything on the internet, cause it could ruin everything. So I started by cracking the game to test it, after 1 hour I liked it, so I bought it on steam. I’ve played 35 hours and finished the game at 100% all by myself (few hours has been spent outside of the game to understand some puzzles) And what can I say, it was one of the best journey I’ve ever had in a video game, this game is on my list of games that I’d really like to erase from my memory to be able to fully rediscovering them… I said I’ve liked the game after 1 hour But I totally loved TUNIC after 35 ❤

Tunic is the most rewarding game I’ve ever played. A way more complicated ruse the “The Witness”. The revelations were so diverse and meta and organic and fun all at the same time.

Just finished Tunic recently and it blew me away in terms of secrets and design. This is fascinating, thanks!

We need a physical copy of the manual !!! It will be awesome!!!

This is the most amazingly informative ASMR video I've ever watched! Excellent work as always Danny

I feel like this guy has a side hustle doing voice-over work for meditation apps.

That opening graphic is amazing btw

This game perfectly captures the feeling of wonder and discovery I had when I was a child playing SNES games that I couldn't read anything, since I didn't know english. Finally understanding some new mechanic was like a puzzle within a puzzle, exactly how I felt as a child. This game is a must-play for anyone, even more if you were a non-english speaker child playing a game in english.

This is exactly the type of video I wanted NoClip to do on top of the documentaries. Big fan of this! Keep at it!

You can tell by the way Andrew talks that he’s very focused on making a game that’s simply fun. He’s a guy that’s probably played and analyzed games his whole life and knows all the different aspects that make a game fun and addicting to play. Tunic is the proof of that, phenomenal game! It’s up there for me with Hyper Light Drifter, Fez, and Hollow Knight as some of the best indie games I’ve ever played

Tunic is one of the best games of the year in 2022. The last puzzle with the door and manual is a masterpiece and very well done. This is remembered for a lifetime!

GOD I forgot how fucking GOOOOOOD the music is in this game. The composer on this game - Lifeformed - had gone kinda quiet after their legendary Dustforce ost and I was worried we'd never get anything else from them. Everyone should SERIOUSLY check out the Dustforce ost too, it's amazing work music.

Seriously Andrew might be one of the most brilliant and creative indie devs that's out there right now. I really can't wait to see what he works on next.

Fantastic game! I would love to buy a printed version of the manual.

When I was young, before I learned English, before the Wii/Xbox 360/PS3 generation and especially until 2000, games weren't available in French in Quebec (or almost never). I remember reading PS1 or GameCube game manuals and trying to scour them for any info I could find about the game world. It was a way for me to build up the anticipation. I still have memos in my Crash Bandicoot manual. It was an uncomparable experience that this game finally allowed me to experience anew.

Awesome, love this new series so much. This is incredible. And Congrats on the success of Tunic!

Developers ,Artist, Play testers, creators, stunt team, HR, snack guy. Tunic is the best game I have played since Final Fantasy 7 in the PS1. amazing work

I love this game. Easily my pick for Game of the Year so far, and I think it'll be hard to beat. Great interview. Looking forward to more Developer Breakdowns!

This is great! But I mostly ABSOLUTELY adore the graphics and the style of this video! Well. Done.

I love this Danny! Excited to watch the extended one.

Such a tightly edited, condensed video. Nice work!

This was fantastic! Great work as always Danny!

Loved Tunic, and loved the interview! Can't wait to see what's more to come from Andrew Shouldice!

I would be interested to see something from level designers of racing games (Trackmania), or tactics games (X-Com, Shadow Tactics).

This game brought my love back for gaming. Please in the near future, Twonic.

Loved the game, and loved this interview! Thank you for your hard work Noclip!

Awesome video. Can’t wait for more episodes! Also, great graphics and animations.

I think this deserves to be in the main channel

LOVE THIS FORMAT of content. Bravo! Great pic for kickoff.

I love this, having a semi-window into a devs mind and thought process is fascinating. I'll admit I bounced off tunic, but it still massively intrigued me, and this video reminded me I could install it on PC as well as xbox thanks to gamepass and give it another shot!

"you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention"this is Genius, now I NEED to play this game, the manual, the details explained, im sorry i got spoiled since ive always been curious about this game...

Thank you for this interview ! Quite interesting

This was great! Love the format & graphics & music, feels very polished. Now I gotta finish Tunic!

Oh, man... This is pure gold! Thank you!

For all those who enjoyed Tunic I want to ask the question to the dev: Did he know/play "The Lore of Canis" before developing Tunic? It has some similarities, though it was less sophisticated graphical but it had a lot of interactions and possibilities as well as a great world with lot of mysteries inside it. Hope you make more vids like this!

Great content! Love to see more of those

I continue to love what you guys do with Noclip, the podcast, and now The Crew. I loved this one and have yet to play Tunic but I'm excited for Weird West. Unpacking isn't for me I don't think but I love to find out more about games and the developers.

Andrew has a very soothing voice. Can he read me a bedtime story?

Andrew and the Tunic team gave me a one of a kind experience with this game. I love it so much!

Starting with a bang! This was excellent!

Such a fantastic game. Huge congratulations to the development team for how it all came together!

Just got a physical copy last week. I love it.

Thanks for sharing, this is really enlightening 🙌

He really understands game dev and the gamer's perspective so deeply. No wonder Tunic is amazing

Subscribing on patron just for this extended cut! Thank you!

One of the games of the year for sure, great interview

A dope interview for a dope dev and game! 🔥🔥

I love these documentaries

This was a great watch. I’m looking forward to watching more!

Such an awesome little game with so many layers and a haunting atmosphere, love it to bits! Low poly it might be but boy does it create an atmosphere for each area. Also the music is godly, many great melodies that keep playing in my head after I put it down -went and bought the soundtrack too!

I have been waiting for this

The camera reminds me of Landstalker on Genesis back in the 90s. Loved that game :)

Yet another brilliant series begun. Noclip continues to win KZfaq

I was just looking for a more design focus on Tunic after playing it a bunch recently! By just looking I mean searching for this last night. Can’t wait to watch!

I’m playing the game right now, and loving it! I think it’s hilarious that the dungeon at 8:00 was to teach us how to use the shield, because I didn’t have it yet, I must have overlooked it.

love the prototype manual shown at 14:22

Very insightful and interesting. Also this guy has best ASMR voice ever!

Great explanation

If Bob Ross was a game developer. Seriously, awesome interview and definitely will get to Tunic eventually.

Great video and he's an excellent orator. I did find it funny when he said 'we started with a stamina system like the souls games' before, in an attempt to explain how the combat is different, describes basically exactly the same stamina system that the souls games have.

Love this, and what a game to start with.

Just finished the game and really loved the game. Really cool how a single discovery can change how I viewed an interacted with the world around me. The only secrets that I found to not be well laid out were the ones in the cathedral (you know the ones I'm talking about). I never found a hint that such an interaction was possible. Really curious is a sequel would be possible?

I don't plan to play this game, but this is incredible what he and the team has created! Thank you Noclip Crew for interviewing this amazing game designer!

This game looks amazing!

Tunic is a weird masterpiece and it's a superb piece of art. The soothing music, superb art direction and the aura of mystery that permeates throughout make for a very compelling playthrough. This one will age very well, like fine wine. It's timeless. Bought it on day one. Glad I did. I'm replaying it right now. It's just wonderful.

easily my game of the year even if I hven't finished it yet, thanks for making this video without spoilers

Thank you for making this game. Love it on my PS5. Such s great high quality game. You can really feel the passion when you play it.

14:18 oh! this place is just like the devworld you can access with the golden path save :O

"I didn't understand what morphball meant"... He just unlocked a deep memory from my past XD

I loved when he talked about "cheesing" is a game feature. totally cheesed bosses with that ability card that turns your potions into magic ones and using the gun ;)

Tunic is one of my fav games of all time. Thank you to the devs who made it!!

Fantastic! Loved hearing about the decisions and strategies.

@14:00 Body Harvest manual!

Great Interview. Just finished 100% of the game, and although It has some bad issues with combat, repetitiveness and lack of puzzle communication, It was a good experience overall. Good work.

This intro is phenomenal

I really want to watch this, but I need to play and finish Tunic first 😅

Really enjoying this game. It's a treat.

I love this game! I really love it. And what Andrew says about "Everything is already there" is so true Ironically I didn't knew how to sprint even though I had played it for 13hours. (My brother bought the came too and I saw him sprinting and wondered "Oh is this part of the game? xD )

this is the best shit ive seen in a loong while. Amazing care to detail in this game.

That's amazing cause as someone who took years and years to learn English. I'm fre'ch by the way. I though like anybody would understand what morphball is. Especially is English if your mothertongue. But no. And that's crazy but even though I've grew up with French language I keep learning some new words and I don't feel like it's not normal. They're is so many words that you will hear a few times in your life. And even though I can write all of this, doesn't mean thzt I can understand every words or know what they mean in English. Also yeah, the manual made me think too about when you play a hale in Japanese that you imported from there before internet existed

Still have not 100% finished as my switch broke, but I believe I was pretty close to the end. Amazing game! Played it as people were saying it's a bit similar to Outer Wilds in terms of mechanics & story discovery and I'd say that's correct.

This was sooooo well done and I love hearing about the design breakdown of Tunic. Such a beautiful and well rounded game!

I LOVE THIS. That is all. :)

Would love to play it. Such a nice look and sound interesting. And the developer need to have a radio station with that voice hahahaha

Completed this game recently, was a lovely experience 🙂 Also, the soundtrack is 🔥

Great new series, looking forward to more. Vampire Survivors might be an interesting one to hear about!

This man is a freaking genius.

Damn, i really wanna know how he did the isometric perspective work, i'm working on a third person mixed with isometric view game.

Probably tied with Triangle Strategy for my favorite game of 2022.
