We're making free game dev tutorials for the community. Here's our new course on how to make your first video game: www.gamedevrocket.com/launchpad

100 devs episode 3 will likely come out in a few weeks!

One of the few challenges where I feel like everyone understands why the game works and actively makes it better.

[@ProfessionalDumbss]

Ya this was one of the challenges where everyone didn’t change the entire game

[@crxd_dystopyr]

Was just about to say the same thing 🔥🔥this one was actually fun to watch and it had a very cool outcome in the end 🙌🙌

[@ODwaalO]

Real

[@TheDigitalZero]

What worked well here, is that the devs allocated time to prepare the version for the next dev.

[@monke7919]

No centipede incident here? I haven't watched yet and that's great to hear

[@pixel_biscuit]

A low poly hand AND a centipede? This is truly one of the Blackthornprod videos of all time.

That first dev really nailed a game idea, the project could already be called a game as he left it.

[@JosephSullivan-ly3wk]

Ayy thank you so much!!

[@user-vy1xk6kb3f]

The core game idea was amazing!!!! Prefer the white over the black background

[@DatBlockyDude]

You're right, but overtime the white background can strain your eyes that's why black is preferable​@@user-vy1xk6kb3f

[@MrRADicalOfficial]

@@user-vy1xk6kb3f That's preference. Dark Mode is very popular for a reason, and as a fan of Dark Mode I like the black better. The white also looks really good as well though, so it isn't a completely _black and white_ change; figuratively speaking, of course 😉

[@DeterminationV5]

@@MrRADicalOfficial Maybe a dark/white mode shifter could be implemented easily due to the simple visuals. But yeah dark mode all the way! :D

[@CelestialStrawberriesYT]

This honestly turned out to be one of the better games in the pass the game series, with clean visuals that are still simple to understand. Nobody tried to shove really complex, hard to understand graphics, and the gameplay looks simple but addicting.

[@JosephSullivan-ly3wk]

Ayy it was so much fun working on this project! Thanks everybody for watching! ❤

[@LighthoofDryden]

Crushed it my guy! The synergy that followed was so OP

[@dbaker280]

This game looked so good so fast. I think because the initial setup did such a great job setting the scene

[@Brad_Sisson]

Where can I contact you to redeem the prototype?

[@DannMeunier]

I was interested in pitching you a game prototype idea, but there is no link in the description.

[@connorp3618]

Always love seeing you on here my dude, def one of my favorite devs.

[@RugbugRedfern]

Thanks for the invite Noa! I think this is one of the best games to come out of the pass the game challenge recently (although I am biased)!

[@vEVR0]

Bro I loved your additions to the game

[@seneschi46]

no way THE rugbug redfern??

[@scarzero1513]

Bro you are the mvp in this project

[@teawa_]

You took this game to a whole new level!

[@lildookie9988]

Pls finish this game

[@martin4993]

Idea, a challenge called "Update", where you take past projects and let new or even the same devs give the game an update, and to see how much farther you can push it.

[@egorthehawk4824]

This is a solid idea. Some of the past games are so good and I wish they would continue to push them on and see what would come of them. Some just end up with lots of potential but no more work done.

[@emboimichel1634]

This one, for example, is a diamond in the rough I feel, so an update would really help. We would also spare ourselves from the typical boss fight some devs plug into the game just for it to be “finished”

[@JD-wv1yi]

its sad how they sometimes have such great gems and they get abandoned, some of these games need to hit steam

[@RKIOrbMage]

They did this once with the spider game, would love to see it again!

[@Monokazie]

The superhero game would be peak

[@GingerNingerish]

Thanks for having me back again! This turned out incredible.

This theme would be so cool if they went into this game further. Like modifiers, powerups and whatnot

[@blueraven4625]

All the devs where so capable and in tune its crazy

[@LighthoofDryden]

YESS JOE SULLY START HYPE!! Such a great foundation, and everyone’s additions were so focused. C l e a n work

[@sirefirefly]

Yeah, it seems like having a more solid foundation makes it easier to make better. I've seen the vaguest starting games in this get murky and not as enjoyable as others

[@lamia820]

YESS

[@amythicocean483]

One of my favorite pass the game challenges yet. Would love to see if there could be a series where all or some of the devs could revisit the game and add to it because I would love to see this game with more content

[@StaxByte]

am I the only one who genuinely waits for these vids? like I seriously enjoy them dude

[@xibucksgrindset6379]

the goblin jokes were great

[@theguyfromyournotebookwhob2309]

You were my favourite developer man! I wish to become a game dev like you one day :')

[@patlajanec]

One of the best (if not THE best) pass-the-game challenges so far. Both the outcome was satisfying (the game looks original, clean and addictive) and the team collaboration was on point (nobody tried going against the current and improved on the previous devs work). Great job, everybody!

[@redsharp2]

I feel like it'd be so cool to see pass the game reups, where the concept is flipped and you take an older pass the game project, and give it to a few devs who have to work together and communicate to remake or improve past pass the game challenges in a certain amount of time

[@amaryllis0]

That's a fun idea!

[@Selrisitai]

I would have just gone with the idea of a second pass the game challenge where they don't communicate, but I think this idea is even better! Could be a great format, as it has a built-in problem so that the video be as much about game-dev as it is about the chaos of problem-solving with people you barely know!

[@Henzoid]

This is the BEST pass the game BY FAR. Yall generated a game that I want to watch gameplay of. My god. So good.

[@Cyclone1024]

This is one of the, if not the best pass the game challenge I have seen yet. I honestly hope they spend a little more time on it make it a full game. In fact I’ll probably be willing to pay a few dollars for the game as is (with a global leaderboard)

[@Grahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

Dude! Solid project, I’d love to see more work on this as it is super original and awesome bursting with potential, expected something to go wrong but I was greatly surprised. Good Video.

[@HDConcussionz]

They should really dedicate time for them all to collectively finish out these games as a demo and post it. Not much time but a week or so.

[@alicemursteinlesbefaen666]

its very understandable and expected when a pass the game challenge ends up being chaotic or not very finished, but thats all part of the fun you know. but seeing this actually work so well was so cool! everyone did a great job and seemed to use their time and focus exactly right for this to turn out so good

[@irgendwer3610]

I like how the first dev made the map open because he thought it was more fun ans the 5th dev added the walls back in

[@mariotheraviolieater4718]

Yeah it makes for less repetitive gameplay, so cool how randomly the walls change

[@darkroom7409]

I didn't know it was blank on purpose until I saw this video 😂 I stand by my choices 😊

[@phasein5413]

@@darkroom7409 You made them break and change. Not a map so much as a shifting playspace. That works great!

Agreed! He polished nicely, and had a colab vibe. No ganking etc, just putting in best work he could for it. Did he also name to bosses etc? Reified the theme, there (aka made concrete) (PS Some of us do like the black floor better!)

[@darkroom7409]

@@phasein5413 Some hate the black floor :D But you can't please everyone :D

Everything looks really nice, only thing I didn't like is the change to a pure black floor. Has no depth(?) to it visually and it makes the black enemy outlines useless

[@rafaelb2934]

Yeah I hated it

[@mariotheraviolieater4718]

It'd be better if it was slightly greener to fit the theme

[@killerluuk]

[@rafaelb2934]

100% agree

[@jpretorius5155]

[@V01DIORE]

Should be a light and dark mode maybe?

[@dylandreisbach1986]

I would like to see one where you somehow make the order a misery. No one know if they are the first or last person to be working on the game. So everyone is trying to finish the game in a chaotic race to the finish where no one knows who has started or where’s the end.

[@Genie3292]

This worked so well because the first dev had a nice basic idea that was putting an actual core-loop foundation down. More of this please

This one went so well! Nobody added random stupid crap or threw away good work, which is refreshing. There were clear differences of opinion yet the end result was cohesive and really shows everyone's efforts coming together.

[@Bolton795]

This was one of the best pass the game challenges I've watched, everything from the teamwork, execution, collaboration, no stupid stuff thrown in or unnecessarily removed, everyone came together to make something amazing and we got to see every stage including the play test and post challenge discussion, very entertaining and great job everyone involved!

[@xavierreeder1189]

I think this video shows how much time is saved when you think ahead to other people editing your code. One of the best pass the game challenges I’ve seen on this channel and you can tell the devs showed some care for eachother

[@makimakimakimakimakimaki]

this was amazing, it actually felt like all the devs were actually on the same page and it came out so good gj everyone in this, all the features that were added helped it so much

Okay, yeah, that has to be one of the best yet. The editing is great, I loved every one of the devs' additions both to the project and to the editing if the video. Keep it up!

[@MsharyPersonal]

This game is insane man, it's amazing! So beautiful, so creative, so well done, the core mechanic is just brilliant, and everyone really added to the core really well! I hope this continues to get developed and shipped! If this game gets shipped, and I'm not as broken then as I am now, I'm totally willing to pay for it! I love the idea of WASD codes to activate abilities! God that's such a good idea!

the way it went to addind cubes that chase you, to a hand that smashes the ground, then turning the cubs into creatures walking...

[@Young0ne71]

I think a wild game design challenge that would truly warrant the "Bug Edition" title would be to make a requirement the each developer must leave a bug in the game, whether it be something game breaking or just something funny. the devs would be forced to prioritize certain fixes while considering what could be left broken, and the next dev would hopefully make a creative way to either implement or cover up the bug before the next advancement of the game
