Icoso | Making an OPEN-WORLD Game in WORD! (Cinematic Masterpiece) @icoso | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Heyo, all! In this video, I make an open-world game in Microsoft Word... to some extent :P This was a super fun project and I really hope you enjoyed it! I'm uh... definitely nothing compared to professional gaming channels, that's for sure, but I did my best at some commentary, haha! :D Who knew text editing programs could not only be used for writing scripts and managing tasks, but making a whole adventure game in? :D
Thank you to this awesome set of people who voiced lines for this video! :D

![Starting my FIRST Steam Game! - Minima Devlog [0]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/p2agLZ7oRPM/hqdefault.jpg "Starting my FIRST Steam Game! - Minima Devlog [0]
Hey everyone! Im terrified! :)
Im starting my first ever game to be released on Steam, and here is the beginning of the devlog video! The game I am making is a calming, relaxing platformer based on one of my previous projects, Minima! You can check out the original game here lol: https://icoso.itch.io/minima
For this new project, my biggest goal is just to complete it xD. So many of my longer games have gone unfinished and given-up-on, so Im really hoping I can actually complete this one! Im planning for it to have lots of platforming sections and mechanics, similar to Mario games and Celeste, but in a way that makes it feel nice and calming to play. This will probably mean that the game isnt that hard by default, but speedrunners can pick it up and do what they want with it xD
