not going to lie, thefluffypotato did an amazing job with the last game, the vibe and gameplay were incredible

[@icywolf6892]

his 10 minute clicking game somehow scared me

[@itskxmi]

Fr. I had such low expectations after his first 2 games but his 3rd game was amazing

[@kensend9594]

Especially since he said he was still fairly new to godot. Pretty impressive

[@randomcake]

Yea that is because godot is easy to use..u can make yourself a game without any experience in godot in one day and he is a developer so obviously it will be good.

[@Kompressor808]

​@@randomcakeGodot is easy to learn?

[@2_Elliot]

Godot totally took the cake on this one! I love how this shows that a game doesn’t need hyper-realistic assets to be a great experience. Well done to all developers!

[@hogandromgool2062]

Spent two years literally going insane trying to get the art to look good in my game, I'm no artist so it was literally soul crushing. Ended up just going back to flat shaded low poly with a line shader. Turns out simple sometimes is the best.

[@waffleawt6570]

It's the time for me not the ability, I've made a bunch of assets but I had to make a 2 day game for a game jam and that's when I realized, oh my assets in ps1 style took 1 hour, a knife would take 4 hours of painting and modeling usually in my workflow! so true man@@hogandromgool2062

Thanks for having me! It was quite an interesting challenge. The games looked quite good for 1 day!

[@zappyapp]

Don'ta you use pygame?

[@DaFluffyPotato]

Yeah, I use Pygame, but it's not hard to pick up other stuff.

[@inthereverb1713]

DaFluffyPotato wins by a landslide in my opinion, modelling everything by themself (nothings wrong with using premade assets, but thats dedication for having such limited time) AND coming up with some amazing ideas?!?! Have to look at the games they've made cause if this is what they can do with one day, what they do normally has gotta be amazing!!!

[@deuswulf6193]

To be fair, the first two games he made were hardly amazing, quite the opposite in fact. He made up for it with the 3rd however.

[@Di3Leberwurst]

@@deuswulf6193 Nope the first game was amazing. Game of the year worthy.

[@arcturus2685]

Your gameplay design was insanely good😊

[@cantunclu]

After I saw you, the video became more enjoyable for me :)

[@krayne2084]

I think the Godot dev wins by a landslide, not necessarily Godot though. He was creative as hell and I think the only Engine selling points that were made were that Unity and Unreal had respectively good and good looking premade assets.

[@jmvr]

That doesn't mean that Godot doesn't have good premade assets, because the dev just didn't use anything premade for this project. Really, as long as an asset comes with an FBX, OBJ, glTF, .blend, or other file, it can probably be used with Godot Godot may not be super high-end and industry standard level, but it's a very capable engine, and may reach great heights in the upcoming few years. Who knows, it might become the "Blender" of the game industry (free and open-source that's almost industry standard level of quality).

[@stickguy9109]

​@@jmvr I'm sure it will get there. Godot is still pretty new compared to these other two

[@pietraderdetective8953]

You nailed it 🎯💯 It also bothers me when I see Godot tutorials using piece of crab game assets...while Godot is capable of using high-quality game assets.

[@T3chedOut]

I honestly feel like the Godot projects were the only realistic representations of "games made in X time" because the others used asset packs, while DaFluffyPotato actually included making all the assets in their dev time. That said, every project was really impressive given the small amount of time, I love the idea to make the mic always on and repevant to the gameplay!!

[@awn-exotic8439]

Well, I'd argue that it was games made in "X" engine. And since asset packs are part of the game dev experience, and allowed by the engines, I'd say its fine.

[@Matshiro]

I think so too, but Potato also used his script for VR movement, if he did not have that ready to go he would probably spend few hours fixing bugs in movement etc. (Tbh I don't know shit about creating VR game, but I guess you can have a bit of problems with that)

[@ShiroCh_ID]

@@Matshiro id assume his VR Character template is actually just that 1st person Camera script, but i think VR ones has modified movements to acomodate 3dof of vr could be wrong though since its been so much while since i touched game engine and gamedev in general

[@DaFluffyPotato]

@@Matshiro I originally wrote it in a bit over an hour. Could have done it in the 1 day. Just would've lost a bit of sleep.

[@pietraderdetective8953]

Not gonna lie, was kinda disappointed to see Gorka (Unreal guy) inserted an asset pack just like that for the 1-hour game category.

[@Flamsleburger]

I personally really like the 24-hour Godot game. The art style is really cool and the environment looks super interesting, as well as it's the most unique out of all of the three games. Everyone here did an amazing job, love these challenge videos Prod!

[@painleroux9486]

Hollyyy the Godot one was the best for me , well done to every one

[@NuttachaiTipprasert]

Godot dev won by far. Not only he didn't rely on the hyper-realistic assets and lightning (nothing wrong about that, BTW), but his gameplay mechanic is more complete and makes the game legit scary. Kudos for him.

[@951159Pedro]

Well, the only one who actually made a game was DaFluffyPotato, and this inspired me to learn godot

[@Mooke-je7sx]

Hey, how'd that go for you? I've been playing around with Godot and it'd be nice to hear your experience, and even if it didn't work out, at least you tried right?

[@Nahnono]

Given just a horror prompt and unlimited possibilities, 99 out of 100 game developers will make the same generic slenderman clone.

[@eelberger]

I'd say that thefluffypotato takes the cake with this one. I think the self-made modeling really shows their skill.

[@eboatwright_]

I'm guessing that we're only voting on the 24 hour ones, so it definitely goes to DaFluffyPotato :D

[@karenschlueter9624]

Godot is like that one cool friend

[@amonniyvii9226]

[@personismaybe0610]

Seeing DaFluffyPotato is always nice.

[@bmorr]

It’s wild to see DaFluffyPotato make stuff outside of Pygame. It’s awesome to see him out of the blue right after I was checking to see if he had posted recently.

[@redtsar]

That VR game easily won that The other games didn't feel tense to me, (I am a huge horror game freak so I'm probably just picky) Just the audio, the scenery, the whole vibe, just absolutely incredible Well done DaFluffyPotato

[@tiacool7978]

"I need more orbs." Panic throws the moment he hears sound. All the games were great. I do like the 24 Godot game the most. But the 24 hour game in Unreal was really good too. Did not expect the monsters to walk in the Unity game though. Definitely would have caught me off guard.

[@CT3LA]

Definitely would have liked to see them talk to each other about their games at the end

[@ShorteDev]

I got extremely motivated to try and create an actual horror game after this challenge, haha 😄 Loved trying out the other developers games as well, it was really cool to see what kind of games could be created within different game engines 🔥

[@Schoritzobandit]

I think Fluffypotato did a great job with the concepts throughout, especially because he placed more of an emphasis on sound and music to make the environment spookier, rather than jus relying on lighting

[@WaylonWalker]

@dafluffypodato killed it, making all assets from scratch on every level!

[@sugnoma667]

DualWielded editing is so good man makes these videos 100x more enjoyable

[@TheLazyJAK]

[@cooldestroyer3159]

I aspire to make a emotionally captivating horror game, so watching these sort of videos really bring me into the world of horror

[@humman007]

The godot game made in one day was by far the best, sound design was the key issue here to that graphically it was not uglier at all, especially the lighting. The 10 minute category is quite unnecessary because it is impossible to make even a substitute for a game in such a short time, this is a good level in the challenge of drawing but not for gamedev

[@Matshiro]

I love the progression from Ms paint to VR

[@kkhuman52]

The 3d jumpscare maze was very creative for the time limit.😊

I feel like it would be fun to have Roblox developers on the channel, as it is a way to connect Roblox as it is a big platform, used by adults and children, and also because there are multiple videos that the channel has started a trend by doing development competitions they’re are now videos on KZbin of Roblox developers competing!

[@teawa_]

I agree!!

[@Wuddigot]

5:36 I like how well this works. you can use a dim flashlight to navigate, or you can charge your camera to take a picture with flash but that leaves you in the dark for 2ish seconds. Super cool

[@tomschlaiss5735]

Great work from the devs and nice video as always. Cheers from Germany

[@Aserenesnow]

daFluffyPotato's one day project really gives horror vibes, that's actually scary, in my opinion Godot game wins

[@Iloveastolfo]

Unreal dev: So, my idea was simple. I will recreate the real life and model every single person in the world in one minute.

[@WBR44]

Been seein a lot of crazy stuff coming from Scratch. I'd love to see some challenges utilizing that platform.

[@user-dl9oq8tk5b]

Love the content u should make a video we’re devs make a game n they can interact and it’s two different teams then after the last dev works on it they switch projects or something around that concept

[@Lex_thebearqueen]

Id love to see a longer version with the other engines also included! Maybe they should try to make a mobile game. Also they should try to make a gane in julians editor which is similar to scratch

[@robotguy8323]

You should totally have griffpatch on scratch in the next episode

[@geams]

Thx for the Blockbench reference, somehow I completely missed that tool.

[@Modslover]

I have 2 ideas for a different video type. 1.) You give a group of devs a whole asset pack and they have to use only the assets to make a game. 2.) You have a group of devs that each start their own game then it goes to the next person till it's done.

[@Silver803]

That last game with the snake looks amazing

[@trColt45]

It'd be cool if you guys did a challenge in a similar style to forged in fire. 3 different stages for one game that may pull them out of their comfort zone with some parameters. Then give the continuing contestants free reign to use their go-to style or engine to make a game off a specific theme

[@vl5164]

Another idea you could try would be to have someone make a base game, and each dev afterwards has to make a level with some unique aspect, like new gameplay element, theme, twist, etc. That could open up some more genre exploration and depth to the challenges, like exploring platformer/3d platformer, dungeon crawler, strategy/rts, adventure, action fighting games, story based games, rougelike and such a bit more. Maybe it would be more of a level design challenge

[@RyioKart]

A masterpiece as always

[@samil679]

The one made with Godot was probably the best, mainly because of the developer.

[@bedheadbozo]

6 devs make a game without communicating ON ROBLOX

[@tehweh8202]

I wonder if the second dev has ever seen a real snowy forest before. I find the idea of a snowy forest where trees have leaves quite amusing. But equally terrifying, as it meand that the planet has entered a cataclysmic extinction event. Every single one of those trees is basically dead. That's basically a horror scenarion by itself.

[@KyriosHeptagrammaton]

Early snow in fall can do it. Where I live we had a year where we had had snow every month of the year

[@masterjunko]

Where I live, it's honestly pretty common for many of the trees to still have leaves when it snows (Like the above reply, we also can get early snowfall in like september), and then even weirder when they sometimes just start falling when springs almost coming up. But I do have to agree with you, giving lil hints that the planet is dead is a pretty great horror scenario.

[@user-iq9kq9hy3v]

From a graphics perspective definitely Unreal, but the gameplay of the godot seemed the most horror like to me

[@natepotate5025]

ive been wanting to make my own games for ever and ive slowly been teaching my self im happy to see that these game devs use the same things i do. free sound, blockbench, audacity, unity, it tells me that im on the right track. the only thing holding me back is coding and learning how to navigate unity ._ . ....witch is kinda important XD but i know how to use blockbench really well and audacity well enough...😢

[@Lil-FIERY]

You said at one point there was going to be a VR pass the game challenge, but we never got one

[@smokescreamlive9191]

[@fstani]

You can probably skip the 10 minutes and 1 hour games, idk, didn't seem relevant... They are not even played. Seeing the devs create the games and also the other dev reactions is the charm of these series 😊

[@Zzkkb98]

Fluffy potato is a legend have you seen what he did with only pygame and Microsoft paint amazing!

[@cheesymcnuggets]

Nice to see the devs really embracing their engines. The comments may not like asset packs but for a short game, the only way to pull out the true beauty of those stronger engines in such little time was to use asset packs. Potato also embraced Godot by choosing not to rely on hyper-realistic graphics, Godot obviously is inferior in that field so he approached the task differently and heightening the immersion in all other aspects eg sound, vr, lighting, atmosphere. Just shows that a weaker engine is still capable of immersing the player into the game. I can keep going on about how each dev embraced their engines strengths and weaknesses, everyone did great. Though I disagree with this comment section's hate on the use of asset packs here and how they're saying Potato won because he made his own assets, I just don't agree with that...However, i do still agree Potato won but because of his own skill and creativity. Realistically, these 3 engines have limits that are too difficult to reach (rationally ofc, a 10000vs10000 pvp fps ain't ever happening), if you have an idea, you are the determining factor on whether it's possible, the engines are merely a minuscule tool in the true art of creation.

[@ererbe]

what i take from this video: the engine is just a tool (oh who did expect this) and what really counts is the idea and execution. Godot game (1day) was the most creative in my eyes.

[@gaborszpisjak1874]

So I liked all 3 games, however... I assumed from the title that the devs would have to do the same game (maybe even with same assets) just in different engines. Maybe next time.

[@awesomeness1116]

I’d say Unity wins 10 minutes and an hour, but Godot wins 24 hours

[@BobThef]

Godot is my fave cause its just so immersive and the VR aspect is way to cool. The other games were great too I just really like the pixel graphics and the savage primitive jumpscare of the godot one.
