this is the greatest day in ever, maybe ever
-
Feels good to see this back, has it been that long already? Time flies, been watching since very early on.
-
Recently I was browsing my wishlist and saw Lumbermill. I thought to my self "It's been a while, how this game doing?". Well now I know!
-
5:52 I play lumbermill for the plot.
-
I love, that you changed back to the old design. It is so iconic for your game. I think you have something that represents your game so others can recognize it more easily.
-
Thank you for documenting the internal motivation struggle part of game development ❤
-
I would just like to mention that lumber mill has stayed at the top of my steam wishlist the entire time you were gone. Welcome back!
-
Welcome back BWDev, I just checked on this channel around a week ago, wondering if maybe my bell notifications stopped working. Seeing nothing new I just thought you had been busy - and you pretty much were! You are a huge inspiration to my own little project. Seeing you work, plan and figure out solutions is genuinely so motivating to me. So once again, welcome back. Hope you are feeling better ❤
-
Hey man, just wanted to say : when I first started watching your channel, I was mind blown by what you were doing, and I was desperate to be able to do such things myself. A couple of years later, and I'm now a professional game developper, making a living from what I love. Wish you the best, and thanks again for that inspiration !
-
I genuinely cannot believe it. I thought that it was over after the last devlog, but to be able to pick up a project after all that time and not only revive it, but improve it so much more, is just insane. well done man, seriously!
-
I am so happy to see you back, you were one of the first devs I followed and i cant wait to see what lumbermill will become. Also get well soon :)
-
I'm really happy to see Lumbermill again, it was always one of my favourite YouTube dev logs! I hope things work out better this time. I am working on my own indie game and I appreciate how hard it is to find motivation sometimes, especially when working on aspects that are required, but not really my interest.
-
YES! I have checked your channel so many times to see if I had missed an upload. So glad to see this back
-
That’s at least 536 days on my wishlist !
-
Great to have you back!
-
Great to see you back. I used to watch every single one of your devlogs right up there alongside ThinMatrix, looking forward to returning to that routine :)
-
It's so refreshing to see you back, full of enthusiasm and energy! I could feel the energy through the video. I'm so glad you got back on track with new ideas and clear vision for Lumermill. Can't wait for more devlogs.
-
I cant believe its been like 1.5 years. Great to see this project coming back. It has been inspiring me to start a simulation type game myself for so long
-
your game is still at the top of my steam wishlist, and will remain to be for as long as you need to take to make this game! i really like it and I don't want you to feel pressured or burnt out, so please, take all the time you feel is beneficial to you. have a nice day!
-
I've recently been returning to gamedev myself, awesome to see you coming back to it!
