A better message JUST MAKE COOL SHIT!

I AM THE 1K ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE

wow so easy, why didn't I think of that

Thank you for this great video!

This video was bonkers! Keep it up<3

I don't buy that you made that game in 48 hours. You definitely have had previous experience which allowed you to make the game which you didn't account for. It's fucking hard to learn and understand programming, 3D modeling, rigging, animation, etc. "Just Make Games" is waaaaaay oversimplifying it. Nice try buddy, I'm onto you.

I want to make games but I haven't due to my exhuastion of coding in my programming class. this is making feel more relaxed. like I can fail without worrying. I'm idiot and like less people will be mad. I mean today I was thinking about it I'm currently setting up windows for me to get back into game dev crap over the summer. but it's something I wanna do. just to create the game for my characters. I wanna see them exist. thank you. I'll look into a random dumb name generator after getting some decent pratice with some basic concepts or literally learning how others do things cause. I feel like I learn best for mimicry. it's simplier easy to understand and as you mimic you get to slowly learn the steps within what I would say feels like a safer enviorment.... I say that from praticing drawing on occasion and how my art has generally improved over years. I'd probably be better suited as an ideas guy but that isn't what I want to be. I should be the doing stuff guy.. I doubt anyone cares but I'm relaxing and trying to help myself not stress about things. this video it did make me feel better about things. So once again thanks.

Your video randomly popped on my homepage, i didnt even know it was about game jams but when you mentioned ludum dare i was like hey i participated in that one too! and then you said the theme was summoning and then i said wait, i participated in that exact same jam! lol we made a silly little horror game with my friend, it's called "the summoning of Dagan". It was one of our first jams and i couldn't agree more with everything you said, it was really fun and i learned a lot! I'm really proud how our little game turned out. I'm gonna play and rate yours if i can find it!!

tagabjs yiy sunpried me!

Such an awesome video

im trying my hardest to learn coding so i can spend the whole day making games after games. its hard as heck but i wont give up yet

WE GO AGAIN!

I'm loving these motivational videos! Helps me keep making my game.

thx yt algori

I wish I had the attention span for this kind of thing. Many times in the past I've come uo with an idea for a small, simple game and work on it for about a day. And then after that day I just never feel like continuing to work on it. The spark never stays, it's a shame.

I'd say there is a risk in doing mainly gamejam tier projects because they are typically prototypes for mechanics. This is great for experimenting and expanding out your skills into areas you're less experienced with like vector math, data sorting, proc gen, ect.. but eventually there will be diminishing returns and the only way to improve further is to get experience on projects that require lots of these mechanics to begin interacting - that is where things start to get messy. That said, I do agree with the "just make games" message because I do see many, many talented programmers chasing the latest fads to get the easiest cash return on their development time but none of these cookie cutter clones are really making best use of their skills. It's like having DaVinci building with lego when you know they're capable of so much more - very tragic.

ok, here ya go

Great story about importance of playtasting! And about how important to catch the emotions of potential player, listen to them figuring out how to improve ideas. Good vid, keep it up. sorry for broken england lol

This is really good. Two thumbs up!

great video mate. one day maybe can i make a cool game like you to thank you

Great video mate!

Ahh, why now not before, KZbin. I would've loved to participate at this God damn.

I gotta really start doing this, like 48h to make a game as a weekly challenge or just once a week make a game, even if plain stupid.

great video. i just need to learn how to make a game first haha (zero experience) So on the game jams, say me, someone who has like, maybe a a couple months of blender experience and has made a few silly character models, would I be able to be helpful to someones team? How do you even get put into teams?

very inspirational. I love games games and have passion of becoming a game dev but I dont know where to start. I have good level of understanding for programming and would love some tips or guidance on game development

Very enjoyable video and great message! I think that a lot of developers need to hear this from time to time, to keep them from spiraling lol Keep it up!

This video is incredible, thank you for making something beautiful

Discipline is more important than motivation. Motivation will run out. Passion will due down. You must be disciplined to finish.

JMM

love it

Cool vid pal, fellow solo dev here!

No...

i wish it was that easy

Every game jam I've participated in, I've learned far more in the few days I've worked on that than in months of practicing

just make games, waste your time to do a dev journal, showcase your unique concept at a game jams to other rivals and post your game on steam list. ez gg.

suggestion to add a tool-assisted option for the leaderboard. and maybe once the game is done, have a builtin TAS tool (change game speed, manual frame advance, savestates, and editing the input list.) though that might need some structural changes so maybe doing it in a way you can implement that later whether or not you decide to do it might save trouble. also, that would allow you to have the list of inputs and check if the run is valid for the leaderboard to avoid people sending 0:00 times.(that's what trackmania does)

Great video. Recently I've been struggling to get myself to make games because I'm always thinking about the end product. But this video reminded me why i started it in the first place, for enjoyment. Just subscribed :)

underrated ass video good shit

Heck even Loop Hero was originally from a game jam, via Ludum Dare no less, called Loop Path Hero.

I am a speedrunner

Ill check out the game nice video

really appreciate the shoutout! im sure my times will get completely shattered when this game gets a bit more attention lol

An honest peace of feedback: in my opinion (not that my opinion matters), the boost gun's direction should be mouse controlled, not controlled by WSAD

My ego has me thinking, "maybe I could be GOD GAMER?" excited to check out the demo!

Epik

I could never speed run 😭 maybe I’ll try on lumina rush one day tho

It may not be today or someday but hopefully I'll be able to create a game that I will be proud of. Thank you for making this video!

Thank you, needed it) ♥️

I've been in the ludumdare irc channel almost since it's inception, but I haven't really participated in any (like 1, and a couple I started, but didn't finish). Maybe one of these days.
