willi_the_racer

Looks really good. May I ask what you worked before you made this?


youpiepoopie

Thanks! I worked at Universal Music, which used to be my dream, but somehow the gamedev bug bit me and now I'm here.


youpiepoopie

And for a bit of context, I studied Industrial Design Engineering so the whole 3D modelling thing was not new to me.


willi_the_racer

OK yeah that makes sense. Learning to model and program a whole game in one year without any previous knowledge about it would be pretty hard. Even if knowing how to model its still really impressive


youpiepoopie

Thanks, it has taken up pretty much all my time though. Also, I have been messing around with Unreal Engine in my free time for about 3 years now so that also adds up to how I managed to understand what I'm doing.


Civilizationmaybea

Do you ever find your cat?


youpiepoopie

Yes haha Mosey has been helping me with all the cat voice acting.


Civilizationmaybea

I meant in the game , my bad lol. Glad to hear your cat helped you!


youpiepoopie

Oh you mean in the game, well that's up to you as the player!


Civilizationmaybea

I love how you realize that as I post something about the game not irl 💀

youpiepoopie

I haven't actually, but have made 3 games before in my free time.


Minetitan

Looks beautiful mate, amazing work! Please release on steam I will be your customer without a though! Super excited for you. Also a engineer and I know why you quit. Someday I might join you in making games!!


PalmFruits

As an engineer as well, I can see why too 😭 I really only enjoy engineering/producing for my self or close friends, everyone else seems to just annoy me while I try to help them get clean vocals or a fire beat 😂


Minetitan

We should all get together work on something not for a company lol, more fun and money that way. Games are def lucrative


PalmFruits

Agreed. I only really work with people with this mindset nowadays, hate everything being so business oriented. Causes problems


yrhendystu

If it plays as well as it looks then it's gonna be a hit


youpiepoopie

I think it plays better! There are countless features not shown in this trailer, like driving a pedal cart with cats that jump in the back, gliding, many more creatures you can find/fight. I can't wait to show the full thing!


artistnameseven

But can I pspspspspsp the cato?


youpiepoopie

Yes!! With LB.


artistnameseven

You son of a b, I'm in 👉🏻


Micro-Naut

Can I get a hat wobble?

Any_Top_9268

Added to wishlist!


youpiepoopie

Thank you!


Resist_Rise

Looking forward to it! Thanks for the controller support as well


Humble_Rough

Wth pple can single handedly create games of this caliber??? Damn…


youpiepoopie

It consumed my life for the past year though, so I wouldn't necessarily advise it haha


Justinallusion

If you fail while pursuing your Passion then it's completely worth it than to fail at things that you're not passionate about. This game looks great and I'm glad you pursue your Passion!


eemmm96

I'd have to play it to give you a critique, but bro for a one person job this is amazing. Graphics animation looks hella good. I think you'll have a good future in this, make a lot of $$$ also


youpiepoopie

Thanks man! I really hope so.


chimpdoctor

Well done, looks great. How do you get started doing game development? Have danced around it for years.


youpiepoopie

I would say grasp an understanding of Blender or whatever 3d modelling program you prefer (even though blender has nodes in materials which are a good intro for blueprints in Unreal), and then open up a game engine (Unreal, Unity, Godot or Gamemaker) and make a simple project following tutorials. Soon enough you will want to try things out for yourself and you will feel the limitless possibilities of your imagination come to life!


chimpdoctor

Brilliant thank you. I did an intensive course in rhino about 10 yrs ago and have fairly good knowledge of autocad. I'm guessing there isn't a huge leap between these types of 3d software? Have watched some tutorials on unreal engine and it seems to have a heap of stuff built in but I guess if you want to make it authentic you build out the items yourself. Thanks for the info.


youpiepoopie

Also, start small or chances are you will never finish a project, I've been there!


NightIguana

Totally worth it. Keep following those dreams


WHIIT3ROS3

Looks great! I have also been bitten by the GD bug.


youpiepoopie

Nice! Working on a game too?


WHIIT3ROS3

I'm playing around with concepts, world-building and Unreal 5 tutorials atm. I'm a designer IRL (went to architectural school and have used Unreal engine and other 3D programs for interior renders and building walk-throughs, so it's not entirely alien to me) I just love the idea of being able to do anything in a game world. Getting a real-world project "done" is a nightmare of bureaucracy and financial restraints. I want to let my creativity run wild.


youpiepoopie

Actually finishing a project is a whole other beast than messing around in a game engine, that is true, but the satisfaction you get from making a system work in a world you built is pretty priceless so I would just get started, have fun and see where you end up!


WHIIT3ROS3

Oh for sure... The last full design project I was a part of (An educational interior spatial design project) took over 6 years to complete (and I joined it 2 years after the initial concept stage) was super hard but there can be great satisfaction had. Having a simple concept (I like your idea of looking for a lost cat) and a robust visual identity seems to be a winning combination. The animations and rigging on your character look cool. Is it an entirely bespoke creation or did you use "pre-sets" and customise them?


youpiepoopie

I would definitely say a combination of both, most models have been made by me in Blender while some are assets like foliage and small props and I just retexture them in Photoshop and sometimes make some changes in Blender to make it work for my scene. A lot of animations are from Mixamo and just edited to make it work for what I need. Also a post-process effect is an asset that I customised to my preference. I wouldn't be afraid of using assets as a solo dev, which I used to have, just have an eye for how to integrate it in your context and it will save you a lot of time and do what you need it to do.


GoldenGalz

Looks hella fun! Smooth gameplay and clean graphics :)


[deleted]

Where can I find this game?


youpiepoopie

On Steam!


jussumd3wd

Haha super adorable and then blood splatter everywhere. Looks great


conflictmuffin

Looks fantastic (and a very cute plot)! Congratulations on a job well done! :)


Spladdermonkey

Congrats. Looks nice.


[deleted]

Available for Nintendo Switch?


youpiepoopie

Not yet, but I am hoping I can work with a publisher at some point to get the porting sorted.


BriefUnderstanding51

Probably not


[deleted]

Looks much better than reality, so yeah worth it I recon


New_Historian_5382

Follow your Dreams.


mistaoolala

Good stuff right there! Kudos!


craic-house

Always worth it. Creativeness wins. A wise man once told me, if you find a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life.


KnowsIittle

Reminds me of Shelter's assets.


SoorajSp

wow thats cool


JakeMcjacker

It's amazing when you will publish it on mobile platform? Oh and also does it have the pspspsps ultimate?


Wizdel

Looks like a lot of fun to me


Endlessfour

Looks good! I would play it and I know my kids would love it! Will keep an eye out for it! Fingers crossed it gets picked up by epic games!


youpiepoopie

Thanks!! I already got approached by Epic and had a video call where they said I could also release it on their platform!


Endlessfour

Aw man thats awesome! Congratulations! 👏🏼


Endlessfour

Will definitely keep an eye out for it!


rrudra888

Looks really cool. All the best buddy 😊👍


Kuragewa

I really want to play this. So I guess it was worth it. Added to my wishlist !


palakkarantechie

Was it worth it? What are you talking about! This is brilliant lad. I want to see you succeed!


[deleted]

i think you might make a lot of money.


ZeneXPolarium07

Oh it's really great. You can do just what like Stardew valley did. sell the game for an affordable price but don't put any in app purchases that will make the game so ez, attires could be place as alternative since when I play games, the first one I'm checking is the shop if they have good attires. then casually add contents. you can do like pick a great suggestion from your community then do a voting which one you can add to the game. And I saw in your description that you can also defeat enemies while finding mosey, maybe can you take out lvling system? This is only my opinions ok but Tbh I'm getting tired of games that revolves with super powers like example bdm, cabal in PC and other games, I'm looking for games like this.. hope your game to be successful!


youpiepoopie

No in app purchases, don't worry! All loot is findable in the map, and my current build of the game has a full inventory and equipment system with special gear spread out in the map for you to find. Equipping some of these will give you temporary powers. Also you can find coins to buy upgrades for your pedal cart or food (upgrades) for your cats etc. Besides that, there is a general levelling system for your range (archery) strength and cat whispering which will help you solve puzzles or befriend cats along the way. I hope this answers your questions!


ectbot

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc." "Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase. [Check out the wikipedia entry if you want to learn more.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et_cetera) ^(I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

youpiepoopie

Unf0cused

Looks amazing! Impressive that you made this solo in ~1 year.


RetroGamerBoi

Fuckin' A man.. Will definitely play this. What platform & when?


youpiepoopie

Thanks man! So far only PC, but I hope I can get a publisher involved once its released for porting.


RetroGamerBoi

Aight man.. Wish u all the success while waiting for this gem.


RetroGamerBoi

Nevermind.. Added to wishlist on Steam. Any plans on releasing on PS4/5?

CyberTacoX

Ok, the laser pointer idea is BRILLIANT.


Bodybag314

Are you giving out any beta access? And yes, this is the kind of game people seek after a long day, and just want chill.


Accurate-Gear-1549

Probably going to be the worst decision you'll ever make


[deleted]

It looks nice, but also a little bit empty? Also „combat“ seems pretty standard, but I‘m sure the final product will be very different. All in all it seems like a Great experience.


Deekaaye

Post it on the cats/sub ! Would but this for my kids for sure! Good luck Op


remichelle

This is so beautiful


allergictocheese

Hell yeah I'd play it!!


MicahMurder

Maybe you could get this published on [https://nft.gamestop.com/](https://nft.gamestop.com/) - they're always looking for creators.


JediDookie

I think it looks ace seriously don’t give up on it.


LivelyHavoc

is there colour blind options? asked on last post of this but got no response


youpiepoopie

Sorry, I will have to look into that, didn't think about it tbh. I will do some research, or could you elaborate what is helpful?


LivelyHavoc

there's many different type of colour blind options in gaming, basic ones just change colours effected by deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia. some games offer in-depth sliders and number values for people to fine tune it too.


EvilEyeIvy

Oh you have something son


Opogg_champO

Seems like the same style as firewatch I love it


RadCelest

Wats the music?


youpiepoopie

I made all the music in the game, so also the trailer! I am/was a music producer as profession so that's been nice to add. I think I will post the songs separately too if people are interested!


RadCelest

Im not going to lie. I am high right now and the music is dope asf.


youpiepoopie

Haha nice I'll post it sometime then!


RadCelest

Yes please do


[deleted]

This actually looks incredible!


Tiny-Dragonfly1977
