Going to chuck in a vote for no.8 as my partner made that game an it's his first game he has ever made. I am very proud of him 🥰

[@stayathomedev]

That's awesome! Congrats to him...I know how much work goes into it!

[@katzen9268]

Thats amazing

[@gezbob3508]

Nice 😊

[@paulosullivan3472]

I think the colour changing game was interesting, I liked the minimalist aesthetic as well

[@stayathomedev]

Definitely like the changing abilities aspect.

[@romulosendoromulo]

Loved Backpack Zak!

[@stayathomedev]

Brought me back to my Gameboy days!

[@jugibur2117]

Again great work! I vote for no. 2, "Pingo Adventure"

[@stayathomedev]

Thanks for watching!

[@aneerudh1712]

Pingo adventure no. 2. Everything was good this week! Thanks for these videos mahn👍

[@stayathomedev]

Love making em!

[@browsergameshub]

Pingo Adventure looks like the perfectly polished game! Absolutely deserves winner of the week 👍

[@g43s]

omg, I love Pingo's art style, and the way the dev is using depth of field. amazing.

[@ericghaugenful]

As usual a lot of exciting projects featured in the video! I will cast my vote to #2 Pingo this week because I am really impressed with the 3D visuals they have created. I think it is great to showcase what Godot can do in the 3D game space.

[@stayathomedev]

3D is gonna come on strong with version 4

[@queblegamedevelopment4143]

Haha, liked the plot-twist! My favorite project has got to be number 1

[@lewessays]

Wow, number 2 was just breath taking and then number 5 & 7 were great too.

[@commissariorex]

These games are really nicely made. I must say I really like Colored Effects (number 5). Close seconds Ibis Am and Pingo Adventure.

[@hawkgamedev]

I'll tell you what I'm doing in YT, watching your awesome channel! okay now seriously downloading 4.0 I have never been more excited about game dev ever!

[@stayathomedev]

Let's go! Yeah, definitely finish the video THEN download

[@NathanJEllerton]

Pingos art style is so beautiful 😭

[@c1nnabxnny153]

#2 is my favorite this week! it looks extremely cool!!

[@robodev3401]

My favorite was number 7.. Really enjoyed it!

[@imjp94]

Great video and thank you so much for including Pingo! My favourite is 7 - Chippy, simple and fun

[@stayathomedev]

Hey! Great work and more than happy to shine a light! Looks like people are loving it!

[@_JellyWalker]

Pingo is looking great!

[@fndmaioli]

I'm gonna give it to Number 7, it looks simple, with original ideas and well polished.

[@renecura]

Number 5 looks awesome! ❤ Really want to play it.

[@RegularBiscuit]

loved the frog island cameo in the intro. hope its featured when its more fleshed out

[@stayathomedev]

It was actually featured a couple weeks ago! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jajIqplnqMqSj5I

[@lynnehefford3920]

I vote no. 8 😀 Backpac Zak

[@jasmineshammall2107]

#8 backpack zak was great to play! Reminds me of playing classics on GBA/SNES

[@stayathomedev]

That's awesome! Glad you checked it out.

[@jonathanmaywood4568]

I love Godot! I've used it in the last 6 months after using Unity for a year and a half. This engine is versatile, easy to use. Has probably one of the best UI's ever. And the node system is awesome. I tried creating a metroidvania in Unity, but gave up and now Im making a level based game with metroidvania elements in Godot 3.5. If anyone is interested in making a 2d game, consider using Godot. And I am looking forward to trying out Godot 4 and maybe I'll try a 3d game! The new tile set capabilities looks awesome too! Love this engine.

[@stayathomedev]

Awesome! Glad you're enjoying Godot!

[@Max_prez555]

Number 7 looked very impressive

[@cobblestone3089]

My favourite is number 8! Super nostalgic and after playing it I found it extremely fun

[@stayathomedev]

Completely agree...I'm sure that style of game will never die.

[@slogsupearth]

Number 4 Colored Effects seems like it has a potential

[@Neue_Raptor]

Pingo Adventure is too cute! it takes my vote this week :D

[@gregorywatine]

Pingo adventures ! I was almost about to say godot 4 but i'm afraid that it would win against everything and i want to see games compete against each other :) but i love to see the innovation here too :)

[@xavifumado3141]

Number 2 seems great! Need to check if gameplay is at the level of art design!

[@metalman895]

My favorite is Pingu! It's so cute and polished

[@cheezum]

Definitely gonna vote for Pingo Adventures

[@paulocardoso5475]

Number 7 seems very cool and interesting !!!

[@karasudev]

0:54, bro just imagine this as a multiplayer, that could turn out as a hit like fall guys was for a while

[@Sid9ty4]

Number 8, backpack Zak!

[@wizardly]

Number 2 Pingo Adventure looks cool

[@nestorpiedraquesada2954]

Pingo's Adventure looks gorgeous

[@fixadent22]

Has to be Backpack Zak #8

[@bonsaipropaganda]

[@stayathomedev]

open.spotify.com/track/5dcaSSov4Q3aDGZNTmG605?si=761b5cbe9d684001

[@bodamat]

For me looks so interesting the game "Colored Effects". I will check it out

[@cameronmoore136]

Kinda looking forward to Pingo. Super cute and makes me feel like it's an upcoming Mario game.

[@breadman7733]

I vote for no. 2, "Pingo Adventure"

[@ka3n]

the gadot triggered my ocd but great video 👍

[@PurrpleSnow]

Number 2 seems really cool 👍

[@saluk7419]

Gotta go with either 4 - Ibis AM for the trippyness, or 3 - Mecha D.R.P.G for one of my favorite RPG subgenres. (Not a fan of the name, but the art style is great)

[@trunghung03]

Chippy looks pretty amazing, and it's open-source

[@doce3609]

colored effects was the best one

[@strictpossum]

Thank you for featuring my game Flipanoid!

[@stayathomedev]

Great work!

[@strictpossum]

@@stayathomedev Thank you. I am learning a lot making these small games and building up my knowledge of Godot.

[@stayathomedev]

That's great! Keep creating!

[@sfianta932]

This is a great selection of games! I like 7/5/2

[@HE360]

Number 4's Ibis AM looks good

[@Troyseph]

Number 5 was my fav =D

[@Theposhestcat]

the second one shown is rly cool.

[@emmasandland4837]

I want to vote for no.8, Backpack Jak

[@silentlamb42]

Number 7, the game looks fun and well polished.

[@gabriellopesmachado9420]

I love the mechanical challenger games, so I go with number 7. And open source of course XD.

[@stayathomedev]

The gameplay looks so smooth. Like a classic nintendo party game. Very well done.

[@_Braised]

I Gotta vote for 2- such immense effort on display there

[@stayathomedev]

Definitely a lot of polish there

[@bigheadbrogames3757]

Number 5 is awesome! My top game on this list.

[@MrRudePolite]

Mecha drpg looks like shin megami tensei strange journey!! Very cool!

[@stayathomedev]

It does!

[@colinjacobs176]

Pingo seems amazing but my vote is for number 4, IBIS AM, which I in fact own and have played.

[@tomoyaokazaki2138]

my favorites were #5 and #2 tbh.

[@quimeydelhoyo5605]

Number 5 looks interesting

[@ptrukandu]

I vote for no. 2 Pingo Adventure. The style is beautiful.

[@stayathomedev]

The art style really does jump out at you.

[@stayathomedev]

Very solid style and gameplay.

[@tacospin_]

PINGO IS SO CUTE, i vote pingo

[@oarthursanches]

I have to vote number 2 but honorable mention to number 8

[@mauricedoerr1992]

I hope he'll have a tutorial on the new tileset soon, I need it.

[@flexy06]

My favorite is definitely No.5 :)

[@RoderikEshu]

Hard choice for me between Backpack Zap and Pingo. Yet, I'm going for 8: Backpack Zap.

[@LuckyDayWorks]

number 4s ibis AM looks super interesting, and i'm a sucker for it's aesthetic.

[@stayathomedev]

It definitely caught my attention with the art style

[@Ultimatenievesgaming]

7 still my.favorite! That Zelda style is nice.

[@Ultimatenievesgaming]

I meant 8 😂

[@oldcrowboy]

the only style i like was number 8 to be honest. doesn't mean other game are bad. i just love retro style like that...

[@brianna796]

#2 looks so fun and cute

[@ygorbaeta842]

My favorite is number 7!!!!

[@dueddel]

I'm watching your channel quite a while already and I just noticed after giving this video a thumb up that I didn't subscribe yet. How could this happen, I asked myself? I am usually subscribing nearly instantly to any Godot related channel which has at least one good video… Yours has several of that kind. I have no idea why I never hit the subscribe button. Maybe just assume I already subscribed to all channels that I watch every now and then. 😅 So, long story short, have a new sub now (although it's no new watcher) and keep up! 😘👍

[@stayathomedev]

Hey! Thanks for subbing! Awesome last name BTW

[@alekxsander]

Buddy, could you tell me the name of the song that plays in the game N 2? "The Pingo Adventure"? I looked on the platform you mentioned " Epidemic Sound" in the description but I couldn't find it Why didn't you leave the girl's name! rss Thanks!

[@BoogtwoTheMan]

Number 8 for sure

[@kirit000gamer]

My favorite is definetly the number 7

[@matiturock]

Number 2!

[@Aeroflyer_2023]

my favourites are number 7, 5, 2

[@ThatRadioChick]

Number 8 !!!!

[@enemisan]

Number 7 does it for me

[@Fabian-_-]

Still trying to decide between Bevy and Godot for a game idea I have. Bevy is nice because Rust lol, but Godot is easier and probably faster to get to something playable. Hmmm :D Really like Number 2 btw

[@SwagGaming87]

I think my favorites are 7 and 4

[@TomMartinek]

Pingo gets my vote.

[@muhammadyusoffjamaluddin]

Godot 4 is out AT LAST!!! THANKS TO TEAM!

[@PinePlanet]

You guessed it what I like it's the last guy

[@ltcolmanofvault]

#3 for sure

[@onlineflowerstore]

wohooo Godot 4 is out now!

[@stayathomedev]

🎆🎉🎊

[@stellaar7088]

what's the background music playing for the first game?

[@stayathomedev]

[@stellaar7088]

@@stayathomedev thanks!

[@herecomespatsky]

Number 8 is my vote

[@kiryonnakira7566]

i can't decide. I love Zelda games not just because of the lore, but the gameplay itself is entertaining. So i kinda want to say 8. But there are other good games like 7, 5 and 2.

[@stayathomedev]

I'm a sucker for anything remotely zelda-esqe

[@alexandralexandrov4503]

Number 1!!

[@FlummoxTheMagnificent]

Number 8.

[@Betegfos]

Number 7 for being open source!

[@stayathomedev]

A great reason!

[@JoniHartmann]

Number 2, the Fish Game, real PS1 nostalgia

[@stayathomedev]

Yeah the 5th gen console nostalgia is real.

[@darkehartplays]

Gotta be Pingo. That's just so damn cute! =^.^=

[@_JellyWalker]

No. 4 - IBIS AM gets my vote, it looks like a lost Dreamcast game.

[@stayathomedev]

The one console I missed out on

[@melyynal]

Have you shown your only move is hustle yet btw, i just found your channel

[@stayathomedev]

I have! It's in one of the previous videos

[@cmdrDiscoCat]

I'm going number 2 !

[@KozelPraiseGOELRO]

Saying 1 would not help very much, so 2 is the best in my opinion.

[@stayathomedev]

So I'll put you down for #1? haha
