    Should I make an in-depth video on a particular side of game development? (Like Coding, or Art?) Comment Below!
  • @smolblockboi
    The idea of spending years on something only for it to flop or not even see the light of day terrifies me but man what you've done with this is really something special. I remember seeing this project way back. Great to see the end of the road!
  • @torokami1109
    I'm studying game art right now and your story is honestly so inspiring. You don't shy away from talking about your failures and instead show us what we can learn from them. I really hope your game will be a success and that I might also be able to develop one in the future.
  • @dazcarrr
    patch quest is probably one of the most refined gaming experiences i've played recently. being part of the community throughout the development was great!
  • I saw this video at the perfect point in my game design journey, I just started my "last 10%" of menus, options, and all the other minutia. As another first time dev, thanks for the motivation.
  • @CodeMonkeyUnity
    Really excellent video, so many great messages, sounds like you learned a lot from this journey both about game development and about yourself. Congrats on making an excellent game and reaching the finish line!
  • @vulterion9162
    You should make a video where you explain the creation of a monster. Like what was the original concept, how and why you changed it over time and go more in-depth in the little design choices.
  • @VyvyanTheGreat
    genuinely insane that this is your "first" game. The quality of it is truly something to be proud of, Lemon.
  • @user-jd4gy1td1d
    Might sound funny but when I moved to another country for my PhD last year, your videos really helped me settle in and I got super immersed in those alone, without ever playing the game. Those videos alone have helped me a lot on my personal journey, so thanks! Definitely gonna buy the game <3
  • @zs2252
    It's been a fun ride, happy to have jumped on the beta when I did
  • Yesss! It's amazing to see all the changes the game has had, and can't wait to see new projects!
  • @henrydebruin
    I'm so excited that Patch Quest is finally getting a proper release! By far one of my favorite indies, and I can't wait to continue to see it grow :)
  • Thank you! What a champ. Just know that now there are indie devs looking at patch quest and thinking "how can my game ever match this?" Like you did with games like hadies and slay the spire just a couple years ago.
  • Amazing to see the project coming to an end! Been following your journey for a couple of years now!
  • I'm currently watching your video while I'm developing my own game. Its really inspiring to see your journey up and downs until your final result. Amazing work ! Great Video
  • @starblinky4091
    Really beautiful video, made me tear up a bit. It must feel really great to have a release date after all this time. Been following you for a few years and the game has never looked better. Can’t wait to play through it again when it finally releases v1.0
  • @mr.meltdown25
    This looks like something Nintendo would take years to make with a whole team! You somehow managed to do it all by yourself!? Props to you man (:
  • It was great to watch your journey. I started seeing your videos 2 years ago and I’m so happy patch quest is almost completed
  • @LouisDoesGames
    Your videos really make me feel quite excited for the future. I'll def. keep my scope quite small. Had some experience with PHP a few years back so I hope I have a good idea on how to not go overboard with my ideas. Thanks a bunch for your videos and talking about mistakes and lessons learned. Was a blast and you most certainly saved a lot of people a lot of time and frustration
  • @CartoonCoffee
    This video was absolutely incredible. You did such a fantastic job distilling down the indie game creation experience, and your game looks like an absolute blast to play! Best of luck on your launch, I’ll be picking myself up a copy!
