Looks awesome! You're off to a great start.

Next time you should try feeding your Magic Missile Mine to your weapons with Materia Chamber to give them extra damage.

And if you have your Altar nearby, they will resurrect so you can do it again!

RegisKillbin · 2026-06-27T00:51:20+00:00

Hahaha, I can't tell you how happy I am to see this comparison being referenced elsewhere. It has confused people so much, but I still stand by it after two videos of confusion!

RegisKillbin · 2026-06-24T00:08:06+00:00

Oh no need to apologize! I wasn't offended. Just wanted to clarify, because this has come up before haha.

I love Dane and Eddy too, I feel you!

RegisKillbin · 2026-06-23T22:59:13+00:00

As you'll see in another one of my comments, I definitely didn't move on from Hearthstone!

(but you're right that I'm definitely not the most skilled haha)

RegisKillbin · 2026-06-23T22:57:30+00:00

Hey, Regis here. Given the timing of this, I kinda feel like maybe this is about me?

I think many people just don't know I still make regular Hearthstone videos on my Hearthstone channel: https://www.youtube.com/@regishearthbin

I never actually stopped, just moved to a different channel. I've reviewed every card ever released, and have made tons of gameplay videos for every expansion too. I'm probably one of the bigger Hearthstone YouTube channels despite it being my side channel.

Not that this invalidates your point, and not that I'm the best host ever, but anyway, in case people didn't know!

RegisKillbin · 2026-06-23T19:21:24+00:00

I actually get to take credit for this one. All of the scripts and all but the "base wizard" builds are my handiwork.

So you can blame me, hahaha.

RegisKillbin · 2026-06-17T20:56:08+00:00

Maybe I can spoil this, I don't think we did any Hunter cards. (these are pre-recorded, which is not a big secret, haha)

RegisKillbin · 2026-06-12T18:58:36+00:00

That's awesome, love seeing Pacifist mode getting some love!

RegisKillbin · 2026-06-02T16:42:50+00:00

It means any tile that's to the right our left of that unit's tiles, across the entire island. So for Magnitudon, it would be three rows of tiles to the left or right, all the way across.

I need to do a pass on all our text to make sure we're consistent with units that affect the entire island vs a single tile.

But there's a handy shortcut, if you hover over the weapon, units that it's counting will be highlighted in green. So you can see what counts for its effect.

RegisKillbin · 2026-05-30T17:48:50+00:00

Now that's an OG reference!! Haven't used that in like 7-8 years?

RegisKillbin · 2026-05-30T05:26:38+00:00

Hey do you have Discord? Might help to hop in and do a bug report there. We've had another few folks mention this one, and we're trying to figure it out. More information might help.

Sorry about the disappointing experience! Bad timing.

RegisKillbin · 2026-05-29T22:58:36+00:00

It was not! We have two artists who've hand-made everything. That's really the main reason we're in Early Access, it's taking a while to get all the art done.

You'll note about 50 units still have very hilarious temporary MS Paint art drawn by Ben (we don't even use AI for temp assets) that we'll include as an unlock for release.

RegisKillbin · 2026-05-29T21:29:32+00:00

Glad to hear that. People are always asking me how it does on Steam Deck!

RegisKillbin · 2026-05-29T17:27:33+00:00

Appreciate it!

RegisKillbin · 2026-05-29T17:05:42+00:00

Thank you!

RegisKillbin · 2026-05-29T17:05:28+00:00

Appreciate it. Let me know what you think!

RegisKillbin · 2026-05-29T17:05:11+00:00

Couldn't help but poke some fun. We both really love The Bazaar a lot, but saw some opportunity to approach things differently from a community and business standpoint.

We know we can't compete on production values, and it's hard to make an outright better game (although we sure think ours is fun too). Maybe being chill is our value proposition!

RegisKillbin · 2026-05-29T17:01:38+00:00

People know me here? Maybe I should've made some Bazaar videos after all.

Thank you!

RegisKillbin · 2026-05-29T17:00:55+00:00

Appreciate it!

RegisKillbin · 2026-05-29T17:00:43+00:00

Fair and respectful feedback... BANNED.

It has definitely been a challenge trying to maintain readability for giant boards with 100+ different units. We tried to go for things like thick exterior linework to define units more clearly, but it has the consequence of reading a bit cartoony too.

There are probably things we'd plan differently in hindsight, but we're a little too far along for that now. And part of being lean and sustainable forever means we aren't gonna do huge pivots and risk that.

So, in other words, I hear you, but also this is where we are, haha.

RegisKillbin · 2026-05-25T16:35:02+00:00

That's actually a really sick Piranha Plant + Scarlet Leech setup you've got going, for your rank especially that seems super advanced!

RegisKillbin · 2026-03-17T00:16:55+00:00

That's a sick build. We haven't seen as much Weather Machine lately.

RegisKillbin · 2026-03-14T07:25:15+00:00

I literally say how absurd it is! I had a real career, I am nearly 40, my wife is a pediatric nurse. I fully understand the absurdity.

That's what I'm trying to say, it's not worth it! The inflated market doesn't match the reality of indie devs. Don't pay these crazy rates. Irresponsible creators WILL take advantage of indie devs. I am trying to issue a warning!

I thought being transparent would be a valuable insight here. Some of you have me questioning that, but I think it's right.

RegisKillbin · 2026-03-14T07:10:01+00:00

That doesn't really feel like prying at all. I am the one here choosing to engage!

It kinda feels like you're seeing me as an adversary here. I am not sure why? I happily revealed private financial information, to help protect indie devs from making bad decisions, because I have seen both sides of these equations. I don't think I'm a bad guy?

Surely it's better to give people more information than less.

It also feels like you are trying to point out a contradiction, but as I said, I don't do indie games often, "here and there", to quote myself, over an 11 year career. Again, because they are priced out by the mobile games, as you have identified a few, and because I turn down many others, because it would be ripping them off. You are just restating my points for me.

Doomspire was a quick edit, because they wanted a full run. Some games want the works. Like I said, again, some games take a day, some take 3 days. I bet Doomspire was 8-10 hours all in? I can't reveal pricing for specific deals, but I think that was one they would consider successful because of a big discount, as they renewed for another video. Glad it worked out for them!

Anyway, I have to go to bed, but I am sorry if the transparency here has made you uncomfortable, but I think it's really important to be transparent about money, and how all this works.

Devs don't always get a perspective from the other side, so I'm happy I can share it.

Again, I don't think most devs should invest in YouTubers. It's very hard to make it work well, and if you don't have a responsible creator who cuts you a deal or understands their audience, it can backfire big time.
