  • Peak influencing Peak. No wonder I love Streets of Rogue so much! Can't wait to play the sequel.
  • @ND-hh7gh
    You're the best Matt ! Streets of Rogue 2 is my most anticipated game of 2024 ! It's amazing that despite all the influences, you managed to create your own style. Streets of Rogue 2 will be a unique experience for sure, and I can't wait to play the early access version !
  • @Salmonboyo
    This has been my most anticipated game of the year, even after watching the Nintendo Direct. It comes out the day after my birthday, so you've inadvertently given me a gift!
  • Surprised Just Cause isn’t in this video. Causing chaos to eventually overthrow the government of a small nation sounds awfully familiar!
  • Quantum Bear sounds like a fun gorilla subclass to play in streets of rogue. Upsides: ability to teleport through walls Downsides: bounty hunters periodically hunt you down
  • Never planned on it but im such a huge fan of this guy. Love the stuff you're creating man !
  • @wobwobidou
    Those devlogs really explain why I felt like SoR was very well design. Each aspect of the game looks to be the result of very deep thoughts and analysis. Also, I'm so hyped about the influence of different factions! Those meta-systems will add so much life!
  • @liameyles1450
    i must say the level of detail has got me exited i love games where the world/ naps have there own lives and does not need you to exist but you can forge your own path i cant wait
  • @mindbreak1260
    OMG Messiah , haven't heard of that game for years totally forgot about it used to be one of my childhood favorites ❤
  • @dadtier564
    INCREDIBLE line up inspirational games! Honestly just seeing your influence, makes me even more excited for this game!
  • @ssjkudos
    You come across really well on camera Matt, not always easy for a developer. Would love to see more of these, but not at the cost of SoR2 progress. One of my favourite games that fits really well with your selection is Stellaris. I love the 'character creation' aspect of slotting together origins. species, perks and societies to create unique archetypes. One of my favourite aspects of SoR1 is how the same fairly simple level feels totally different when playing different classes and if there was a way to build your own classes using a system like Stellaris it could open up 100's of new perspectives on the world. Really looking forward to SoR2, all the best!
  • I love and adore this homey-style devlogs. Please, more. Also having a 4 yo son - I guess their approach to comedy is shared within the age group.
  • @ArCgon
    You can tell Matt is a 90s gamer, by how he reminisces on having only video game demos and playing them over and over.
  • 7 days to die is "modern procedural game" with roads, but fairly simple, I guess. Shadows of doubt also does it, but it's also done in a simpler fashion.
  • @trevicarus172
    I cannot express how damn excited I am for this game.
  • Sir, you said all the right things, and I am even more hyped than before now! 🤩 Also, these influences, especially Pirates and Daggerfall, intrigue me a lot. Because both these games were legendary at their time, and are still phenomenal in concept, but... didn't age too well. Taking their energy and turning it into something new, just sounds like the best idea ever, and I wish you the best of luck with it. I am so looking forward to just going in there, doing whatever and see where it goes. I love games like that. 😁
