I’d like him to go back and review some he said he’d keep an eye on to see if they ended up as good as he was hoping.

Only we can keep it going. Learn unity and get making souls-likes

everything ends

@@hooverpatty7935 :(

Really great job with the game, absolutely had a blast with it man.

Well, personally, the review hyped me up. I'm gonna buy it tonight. Great work!

Your comment would be more approachable if you specified which game you are the dev of. 👍

@@TehAwesomer i think "satirical soulslike" makes it pretty clear.

It's 2023 it's time to just stop making satire. Subverting things isn't interesting, brave or unique in any way anymore.

@@Plasmafox It's time for meta-satires then.

Though your image doesnt change, the more you remember, the more special perks you earn.

The Armor and weapons you equip start out pixelated and then fleshes out the way you're talking about when you remember it.

Yeah i thought they were going to do more with that transition effect, from pixelated to more modern graphics. Really liked the whole "remembering" thing in regards to nostalgia though, as in the items/parts of the level become much more pretty as you remember, because thats what usually happens, you remember playing those old as games where everything looked super realistic to you and then you go back, or watch a video and realize that it actually looked like old ass shit lol.

Kinda sounds like the Evoland games.

That's actually a good point. I can't think of the last one that stayed consistent all the way through.

Sekiro stays solid as hell. If you consider it part of the series that is

I found ds3 consistent all the way through imo.

Nice pfp

i am feeling just the same. the video has been uploaded 10 minutes ago and we're all savoring it like fine wine.

I could not agree more - such a treat!

I keep rewatching ones years ago 😭

Left skeletor i am right skeletor

Moonscars remind me of dead cells and if i'm not mistaken its on the game pass

I cut 90% of it, don't worry

Woah, 2 giants of the SoulsBourne genre colliding 😮

@@believeinmatter they've been doing stuff together for years

Outed yourself

i love when you play together

Glad somebody else thought about Arx Fatalis

Same thought when he backed the dough.

Oh shit haven’t seen that one yet but now I’m excited

Yessss, I'm so glad someone else feels the same

@@gregortokarcik2061 SAME Really hope the devs are able to bring it to release

and they should. this is like really awesome, free advertising. and since pineapple is honest and has a reputation, i think it really helps. not trusting any ads, but if my favorite metallic fruit recommends something, ill consider it.

I second you!

This is exactly what the indie game social space is about. Mr. Tropical Fruit makes an excellenté video promoting (mostly) small/fledgling developers with some DAMN creative minds and buzz gets generated. Thank you, based fruit man.

Same. Reading the devs' comments after watching the video is like its own content.

Since you enjoy picking up stuff and throwing around stuff so much, did you ever play 'Dark Messiah of Might an Magic'? Very underrated game

whyd you fix the fun part lol

if possible you could implement an option to enable the infinite shield lift. Really funny mechanic

sad the fun is fixed :c

Hell ya, stay on the grind. Don't release something you and your team don't enjoy.

Yep, If you pause the video where he says its inspired by Kingsfield, the thing also lists Arx Fatalis as an inspiration. The health and mana bars are straight up copies from Arx Fatalis. Then theres also a whole bunch of little things, like a bone being your first weapon, keys hidden under pillows, the crafting, etc.

@@whatsa489 Im insulted that you'd imply I use whatsapp.

Yeah it looked dope

Shut up dude

I skipped that part of the video to avoid spoilers, I'm totally going to try it out.

@@Hawk7886 i really liked it the whole way through

Exactly, that's what I thought, looks almost like Arx Fatalis...

When I saw him baking bread I immediately thought "Oh, the devs definitely played Arx Fatalis"

I came here to mention those two games! If Pine likes Monomyth this much, he would surely fall in love with Arx and DM. @IronPineapple, if you read this, do look into them! You won't regret it!

No doubt, the bone as an initial weapon and way objects are moved around were already sus but when he started cooking bread I knew it was heavily inspired by Arx, not fromsoft

just little fun bit of trivia dark messiah of might and magic started life as arx fatalis 2 but ubisoft had the developers rebrand it under the might and magic franchise

I highly recommend looking into Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic if you haven't played them already. Hot Tip, you can completely ignore the story in Arx Fatalis and kill most if not all the NPCS and get instructions on what to do to complete your "actual goal" through the books alone I almost recommend playing that way because it feels a lot funner than how hand holdy the base game is.

Also this was a pre-alpha Kickstarter demo, so the full game will be even better.

@@aryantzh2028 It would be illegal if he did not say it was a sponsorship. He'd get fined, and YT might kick him off

@@aryantzh2028 I mean he literally said the combat is pretty barebones, which yeah it looked like it, and he also implied he was disappointed there were no stealth mechanics when the enemy didn't react to the bottle he threw. Otherwise, if he liked it then he liked it. Can't expect him to make stuff about the game that's bad if he didn't think anything in it was bad. Also it's supposedly an Alpha or Pre-alpha version of the game, so his opinion on it would naturally be less harsh than if it was a completed product. Since I'm guessing you have a negative opinion of the game, could you name something in the game you didn't like? Everything else we saw from the video is stuff that many could figure out on their own, highly doubt that he "knows everything about it because the devs paid him". I'd put your torch and pitchfork away unless you got proof that this is both something the Monomyth devs do and something that Pine would agree to, such as him accepting a similar deal in the past. In addition, as Ellie said above, it is illegal on UKposts to not disclose a sponsorship deal, and has been for years. Google "UKposts disclosure of sponsorships" and look for the FTC guidelines if you're interested. I'm sure that some people do it of course, but I don't see why Pine would play with fire like that when he could just acknowledge a sponsorship as he has done many times in the past.

@@aryantzh2028 Or he just... likes it? I feel like if it was a payed promotion he would have mentioned that this was was an early pre-alpha build that's missing a lot of features and polish. I think you're just being a bit too cynical.

Man so factual, theese have been poppin more often and i fkin couldnt be more happy

@@13irockasanassassin I hate that I actually understand this gibberish. God help our language lol

i know right like i expect like maybe 5 a year but now its like every month

you can count on it ;)

Damn sometimes I wonder what taking a hard drive with a few dozen of these modern no bs no internet required games back to the late 80s or early 2000s would feel like hell throw in a full pc and see how the heads explode.

I felt that exact same way watching it. I dunno what it was, the layout, the mechanics, the objects... just felt like I've played it before, back when PC game boxes were the size of boardgames.

@@erueka6 imagine doing that, then you go back to the modern days and see the games that are inspired by the ones you took to the past.

I feel like Kingcom Come: Deliverance is the modern equivalent of these sim like rpg's.

@@MasamuneVIII nahhhh. The game is okay I guess but if your playing on console the lockpicking is borderline impossible. Though to be fair I didn't give it the best shot since I littlerally could not lock pick with my controllers

Lunacid rules. really hope they replace all the anime shit tho. it clashes soo hard.

Second this, I've recommended it before but Lunacid is amazing fun

Lunacid is awesome, even if the combat is pretty easy to cheese

Pretty sure he's played Lunacid before

@@aryantzh2028 its not

Don't mean to be a downer, however I wouldn't recommend Moonscars to anyone. It's full of game breaking bugs, constant crashes, and has the most inconsistent difficulty spikes to point where normal enemies are stronger than bosses.

@@kirkcobain8487 well it is in the gamepass so why not give it a try :D

@@xob0t806 I got it through gamepass fortunately. I'm glad I did because I would've been furious if I paid anything for it.

@@kirkcobain8487 i disagree it was fire

lmao this has me dead

This game has been on my to-play list for a long time now, I don't even remember how I first heard about it, but it's nice to see someone else mention it!

@@mwep415 the Skautfold series changes up genres with every game, Usurper is a pretty decent Metroidvania if you're interested

Are you sure about that? Seems just like a standard heavy sword spin to me, but I never played NieR:Automata, so maybe it's really obviously a reference.

@@myrech if there is only 1 single spin move in the game, u would expect it to be a reference to something too

@@myrech Wait, why are you questioning it if you've never played Nier yourself? How would you know if it was or wasn't? Why even bother questioning them then? Just seems weird.

I think you might be mistaken for another gane entirely, because 2B doesnt hold the sword and spin with it, but instead spins it with the NFCS around her effortlessly. As a result, she also doesn't buckle under its weight since she never actually holds the large sword in a horizontal spin move.

@@Davenzoid You may not have seen it because it needs the charge attack chip to be equipped but if you do the charge attack with a heavy sword she spins around at least 3 times and does this little animation at the end

Will just say it's a TERRIBLE time to join in as a new player. The holiday event added christmas elf enemies to the entire zone, which are meant to be grinded for holiday items. Which is neat, gives existing players something to do. But...they're 100x stronger than any other enemy in the zone and will just fucking destroy a newbie. They slow down your movement and do like half of your HP in a single hit. Completely ruins progression and development for a new player Dumb game design, almost as if they didn't expect new people to join.

@@coolblast3 bruh, you're playing a souls like. If you think it's gonna be a breeze, you've got another thing coming. Yeah, the elves are annoying, but they're easily avoidable, and you learn that very quickly. They kick my ass and I'm max level and have some of the best weapons in the game. I learned to avoid them unless I really want to grind for ornaments. If anything, this is the best time to play because it's gonna teach you that it's not gonna be an easy game and you're gonna have to learn to avoid certain things until you're better prepared. They're only gonna be present for another week or so anyway, nowhere near an issue that should keep you from playing

Just to expand on this, the newest patch that just released have made the elves much more balanced. Making it an even better time to join

Yeah maybe a yearly recap of the best games he tried

I Tried it out it crashed pretty frequently, Not much fun tbh

@@darksteellotus3694 Use the fixes MandaloreGaming has a good video with a beginning tutorial to get it running

@@_dFour_ I'll try it out thx for the suggestion

@@darksteellotus3694 there is a fan patch that fix arx fatalis and made it playable on modern PC called Arx Libertaris. it doesn't only fix the bug but also modify the spell system to be more consistent and easier to draw runes. it's kinda unacceptable for them to sell arx fatalis on steam without including the patch (but the patch is also a stand-alone .exe i think, so it's complicated ) but the steam version is unplayable.

@@garchomowner i think I tried that one but the the game kept crashing. Ill give it a try though.

Any idea if/when monomyth comes out?

Yeah, not many games had the feather falling and jump potion mechanic from morrowind...

I definitely got pre-skyrim Scrolls vibes from Monomyth too at certain sections

fr

monomyth always gave me really strong arx fatalis vibes and I'm incredibly happy someone is finally making a spiritual successor, I definitely wouldn't call it a souls like but still happy he's covering it because its delightfully underrated

@@alex.real. Baking the bread took me back to Arx.

This game reminds me of Legend of Grimrock a lot

The PlayStation can produce mind-boggling effects.

I agree!

I love Arx Fatalis

i was thinking the same exact thing actually, didnt really notice it till the bread

@@aryantzh2028 Did you just copy-paste this baseless accusation under every comment that says Monomyth looks cool?

@@kiptheott5932 definitely looks that way

I always wished they'd make an Arx Fatalis remake. The bread making thing and other interactions blew my young mind to pieces back in the day. Not to mention the spellcasting by drawing glyphs with the mouse. That game is one of a kind, only marred by confusing and labyrinthine level design and clunky combat (though that was part of its charm).

that's the immersive sim genre, try out the original Deus Ex

Man i gotta go buy some Prince of Persia games, they are pretty cheap on steam

I seem to recall TotalBiscuit covering it back in the day?

I remember it since it was in a really early humble bundle, never beat it though

That's exactly why I love this guy

Another mildly popular roguelite that does this is a little indie game called The Binding of Isaac (lmao). But in that game it happens very very early on, and it also doesn't control like soap, so that's probably where Iron has a problem with it.

@@Kakodoyo111 the Everything Is Terrible achievement also only unlocks once you beaten Mom's Heart 5 times. A mechanic like this where the game "grows with you" can be good if it's well implemented. It keeps the game at a comfy level of challenge and adds variety to the game for subsequent runs. Basically, before Everything Is Terrible unlocks, the game is holding back most of the tricks it has available to add challenge and variety to a run. You're getting a fraction of the room, boss, and enemy pool to ease you into the game until you've proved you can handle it by finishing a run 5 times. In the case of Fabular, it sounds like the game is a little too eager to flip this switch and say "you're ready for the REAL game now!"

Slay the Spire, has a similar mechanic based upon how many times you beat a boss on a character. You get like a new ascension level for that character which makes the game progressively harder. Enemies get stronger, encounters are less favorable and map layouts are more punishing. I feel like the game getting harder works best when you have reached milestones in the game. Right now, Fabular increases difficulty based upon how quickly you can clear an area. Which on paper sounds like a great way of doing it, but in execution is very frustrating. They should change it to be either more like Isaac and have it be based on how often the player beats a "wall" type boss. or be like slay the spire and make difficulty increases upon beating the game.

Its literally free on steam too

If you cant kick, it doesnt complete the Dark Messiah Experience tho!

it's more Arx Fatalis, which is the game Arcane made before Dark Messiah - the bread baking is like a 1:1 repeat from that game.

Yup, picked it up in one of the original Humble Bundles and had a nice cozy wave of nostalgia seeing it brought up!
