At this point, it seems like your less "making a game" and more polishing the hell out of what you have. Keep up the good work!

This is giving me some portal vibes with the AI trying to kill you.

7:14 I can't wait for "Will You Snail" Hardest Difficulty & NoRendering speedrun!

Awesome work man :)! All those details combined really turn a good game great! Good luck mate finishing this giant project! YOU CAN DO IT, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, DON'T LET YOUR DREA-

3:59 "Not sure if I SOULD shame you"

Ahhh that disappointing feeling that no progress has been made, even tho we just worked for hours and hours fixing bugs or improving this or that. I know that feeling... But hey, you are super close to finishing it! Can't wait to see the final result. Keep up! :)

All the subtle changes seem to make no big difference but I think this is what in the end will make this game stand out! And it's the difference between a good game and a really great game. Awesome work Jonas, can't wait for the release! 😁

3:23 the editor version of the Snail is just slightly horrifying...

8:04 "Losing motivation is the biggest risk you're facing" oh boy, this part hit me hard, and I'm only starting a project. Between trying to learn as I go, working on and off (and off, and off again) on the game, and not being entirely sure if the idea is actually good for a game (and the time investment), it can get pretty hard to stay motivated. You telling us (and yourself) to keep going is the encouragement I kinda needed to hear today.

8:28 Wait, did you made that.... IN A GREEN SCREEN???!!! ARE YOU CRAZY? ... wait a moment

This video made restart development on a game I hadn't touched for 3 mounts , thanks man

Who else is watching this while procrastinating from finishing a game?

Wow. That flashback from what the game looked like at the very beginning shocked me. It's came SO far, even for something you thought was a mini week long side project! This is actually quite inspirational, as I've never really finished a game, and most of my prototypes have ended up looking terrible. Keep uploading, keep developing, and keep pushing boundaries. I look up to you!

Gotta say, your production quality is better than ever! It's great to see everything so polished and jiggly and that Epic Jump Compilation Joke by Squid was just comedy gold! Can't wait to play it on my toaster ^^

I can't waiit! D: wait nvm, I can wait , just dont rush it! :3

YOU GOT THIS JONAS!

3:58, you have "sould" instead of "should" It's looking great, by the way!

That old "Did You Snail" video gives a massive amount of value and meaning to the whole game making topic.

This was amazing. A great ad for your game. Relatable dev frustration. silly and fun to watch. great job

I literally just started taking my first steps into game devlopment and this video is exactly what I needed to see today. Thank you so much for the words of encouragement to all aspiring game devs out there, and as someone who only just stumbled upon your channel, I cant wait to play your game when it's all finished up. It looks really fun and unique! :)

7:31 one of these moments when i watch videos as im sleepy and my brain doesn't think fast enough, i actually fought it exploded

Yeah, the devil is in the details. Are you gonna make a video of your gf, sister, friend and you playing the game on different difficulties?

9:44 I love how no matter how robot squid sounds... You can still hear Jonas's accent in it!

I think a big reason some people can make full games super fast is because they know exactly what they want in the first place, and also because they have practiced making similar things so many times in game jams or learning projects. The bigger the game, the more of that you need in order to make it quickly, but the more times you work out the hardest parts, the more naturally it comes

Wow - it might not seem it when you're working on this every day, but the small changes are really adding up. That comparison from the early prototype to the vitruvian man level was incredibe, and you've made something really impressive. Thanks for the motivation, and I'm excited to play it!

Oh finally! I had been waiting for a will you snail devlog since ages!

I didn't even know about this game or about your channel until now, but I'm very excited for this now, even the before sections on the things you changed look great

Thanks for the much needed dose of motivation Jonas, your game looks awesome!

Damn Jonas, that is some high-level quality of editing there. Loved it :D

3:54 That line makes me go YES.

This looks really polished and awesome. Keep up the good work!

0:32 that laugh is so godamn good

Can't wait to buy this game when it's out :D

oh. im in the video for a slight second! yay!

Fantastic video Jonas, what you are doing is beyond impressive and coupled with your great youtube skills makes a great example for the rest of the game dev community

Amazing video as usual. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, it is inspiring.

awesome content

I feel you, man. I have been super demotivated for the last two months. Progress on my game has really slowed down (and since I'm so crazy that I want to make a game that's way too big IN MY SPARE TIME, it will take years...) but I refuse to quit. I should refocus and do some fun things first. I just can't bring myself to additional programming after having programmed for 40 hours/week in my main job -.- So tough.

I'm loving the updated visials on it Jonas. Keep up the great work and don't forget to take your time. :)

I was already into programming, but I must say that after watching you're videos I feel like I could easily make it my passion thank you for guiding me to the path of programming, wish you the best with your game

0:12 i laughted so much :DDD

"Language: Portuguese" Thank You

I really love the way that your videos have a nice blend of seriousness and comedy while still being encouraging and entertaining to people who are interested in video game development. Your videos inspired me to actually try making a game and it’s tough to get started but I’m not going to give up. I’ll keep working at it and maybe I’ll even be able to make a game I could put on steam. TLDR: I love your videos and you inspired me to try making my first game

The game is coming along amazingly! Keep up the great work! :)

7:00 I’m offended, because I play on toasters

Well at least you finished your game, for me it was like : Me 2 month ago : I will build an open world action adventure RPG !!! Me now : OK angry bird like game then !!!

This was actually quite encouraging, ngl. And the changes you made were a HUGE improvement tbh!

I've never seen you or your content before, but given that I'm on the verge of publishing a demo for my first game, this video really hit me. Especially seeing your flashback to two years prior- seeing the difference is inspiring.

do I hear a milk-loving coder on that phone when you’re eating in the closets?

I see that you use lots of glow in your game, so is there any "glow settings" in the game ? Like : "Glow : < 100% >". That would be really cool !

I can't believe you're making all of this yourself! So much stuff, so much details and it's crazy how you're making it available for everyone, which is something even AAA games don't do that often. Congrats for all of your effort and keep on going you're awesome!

The game looks amazing! The characters have really cool designs, especially for the simple shapes they're made out of!

6:03 How is Portuguese 100.13% translated? 🤔

Is the audio also gonna be voiced in all the translated languages

Every time i see anything on this game it just makes me want to play the game!!!!!!! keep up the good work Jonas. Your struggles create something amazing

Great work! Keep it up! I really find it helpful to have multiple projects, so I can switch between them. So that when you have a loss of motivation you still stay productive.

Take a one week break from game dev, you'll get back twice more motivated!

4:57 and that folks is how to lose your gf in 2 seconds

Thank you so much for this video. Not only does your game look awesome, but you've made my partner and me feel so much better our own project and the seemingly miniscule progress we've been making as we near completion. Every time someone asks me when it will be done I feel like such a fool for not limiting the scope, for not knowing then what I do now, for starting a project that feels like Achilles and the tortoise today. This video made me feel a thousand times better and restored my motivation and my partner's. Thank you!

Hey, Jonas. I've been watching your videos for a while but I haven't commented yet. This project is looking really incredible and I have so much respect for you because of your drive to finish it. I've only managed to finish one proper game so far in my 2 or 3 years of becoming a game developer. I've probably created hundreds of projects and all of them were eventually canned or simply forgotten because I would lose motivation, but this has inspired me to finish a game again. Keep up the good work, man. It would be disappointing to see this project fade away.

Very well said! I think you totally hit the nail on the head with this. I started realizing this recently with my own project, but you’ve articulated the experience so well. Adjusting different difficulty levels to specific people’s skill level is very smart as well. I might have to use that myself haha. Thanks for the great video, tips, and inspiration. Keep it up man! Your game keeps looking more and more impressive.

Your game looks so good, I hope it becomes a big success, you certainly deserve it and from what I can tell it's a pretty amazing The amount of time it took ,the terrible oscillation between being motivated and feeling like crap and you should probably quick I know how bad it is ,I've been there and I'm still there but you've given me a much needed motivation, good luck on your journey ❤️

That trying to run the game on a toaster bit was awesome. Also, I partly know the pain of all those little quality details that don't seem important but make a big impact in the long run. I've been working on my first real game dev episode everyday for over a month now and I thought was 70% done on week 2! You're a huge inspiration; keep up the great work man.

I have seen already some of your videos but this one made it absolutely clear that I have to subscribe ^^

AWESOME VIDEO. Thanks for motivating me recently i lost motivation for finishing my game but after watching your video it motivated me a lot. Thanks

This video is really good. I haven't watched a video of yours in a while, but you've really come into your own as a content creator.

I have goosebumps each time I watch the trailer, I am SOO excited !

Another dev going crazy :) Subbed!

sicckkkkkkkk game bro looks very cool. will definitely buy it when you finish, don't cair how long it is in development. keep up the good work

That's what a true passion looks like! Keep it up bro, you can make it happen!

Your content is so good, you deserve much more attention. Keep going, you are close to the finish line with this game :P

I´ve watched the video already twice just cause it´s that good! ,-) laughing every time. especially the part with the toaster I´m really celebrating hard. Watched it at least 5 times :D your game is on my wishlist for months now of course. Really looking forward to the release date. Keep on going you do a great job!

I can't wait to see what the speed running community will eventually do to your game! I always find that stuff to be super fun and interesting. Keep up the good work!

It's not just the game quality which is gorgeous but also your great video editing skills. This video made me laugh and smile although the content probably isn't the best to make people laugh. And the best is that you motivated me to work on my own game which i haven't for a long time.

I like when youtube show me something that Is worth of seeing. Keep it up! I am interested in this game now!

Your channel, along with Blackthornprod and Brackey's have essentially singlehandedly gotten me back into creating games again (as a hobby). So just wanted to say thanks for inspiring me! Also hopefully it helps further motivate you, not only are you creating a game, but more motivation for others :) You've earnt my purchase of your game as a result :)

Great improvements in your game, keep going ;)

I have to say, nice work Jonas can't believe you put so much in, keep it going 💯

Looks great man. Can't wait to see it finished.

First video of yours ive ever seen, you are very enjoyable to watch! Liked and subscribed!

The legendary journey continues, keep at it Jonas!! 💪💪💪 (You had us rolling on the floor laughing a few times there!! The reality of this situation feels sooo real to us 🤣🤣)

your videos are amazing! thanks for making them

I've been in an umotivated-to-make-games-depression the last few days and KZfaq just recommended this to me, just what I needed, thanks for the great content :)

Ive recently been trying to learn to make a game and when I get frustrated or feel like quitting I always come back to this video to re-motivate me lol. Anyways can't wait to see the full release

I remember watching the first streams, where you made the disco level, and other stuff. Specifically making the light sprite in photoshop, and now look how far you've come!

Thank you for the inspirational and entertaining video. The game looks amazing, by the way. I look forward to the time when things like this will be seen as works of art rather than commercial products.

I feel you, bro. The progress on my dream game is so slow that I've started and finished entire other small games in the meantime just to get back to that fresh project feeling... back when the milestones came quick and easy. I feel this way all the time, but just hearing another dev go through it makes it less sucky. Power!

I have never been a big fan of platformer games but Will You Snail looks super original and fun. I will definitely buy it on release and keep up the good work.

Holy this game looks great. Also thanks for the advice, I'm about to tackle a reasonably large game project with a couple friends and our scope is getting beautifully out of hand

You're awesome :) thanks for this video!

Great start into the weekend :-) Thanks for also featuring my game for a second!

Hey Jonas, I admire your motivation, it's hard to keep it up like you do. I can't wait to play it ;)

Mittlerweile ist die Grafik richtig gut geworden. Gefällt mir sehr! Die Szene mit dem Toaster feier ich :D

I needed this Thank you

You rocking man, love you humor.

You are making a pretty big game with so many features and you're just 1 guy! Great job man.

Thanks a lot! This was very helpful!

This was complely relatable, it gave me positive vibes..💜thanks

Hi Jonas, I like the effort you have put into your game. Keep it up.

Thanks for the motivation I am going to go and finish some models now
