72 Hour Game Jam Timelapse : LD30 - Connected Worlds

[@ctheart8833]

and i am struggling to make pong in java

[@sanketjadhav6368]

+C The Art i made now i play it everyday ☺

[@ihswap]

Try using Java Fx it took me about 4 hours to make Pong it was my second ever game I've made.

[@deathkingcheetah1337]

C The Art I'm struggling to make a 1 level Super Mario rip off set in an Ancient Kingdom. Where you jump, collect power ups & find arrows for your bow which then can be used to kill enemies. And once you get to the end you have a boss battle & if you beat the boss then it goes to an animation of the evil spirit that haunted the Kingdom gets killed by his own spooky green fog. How much of a rip off is that, good luck with your pong though & hopefully you gift me luck on my Kingdom Escape game

[@deathkingcheetah1337]

C The Art I reckon the game I make will be the game I play EVERY single day

[@deathkingcheetah1337]

Sanket Jadhav that'll be me when I make my 1st & 2nd game. 2nd is Probably gonna be a FPS where all you can do is turn 360 & no scope some kinda enemies. And I haven't even finished my 1st game yet where you escape an Ancient Haunted Kingdom. Trust me it sounds worse than it is. ONE LEVEL, JUMPING, POWERUPS, BOWS & ENEMIES. nothing cool looking & no secret tunnel ways & what not. Sorry I wrote a wall of words

[@pumation444]

I don't think I could even do this in 72 months man

[@aseemlalfakawma5084]

the details are amazing in these drawings.

[@zacherybryant3692]

I'm really impressed by your apptitude for value, it was really interesting to see just how much of a difference a good sense of value makes when working with the limitations of pixel art, especially when you also have a limited pallet at times

[@wej0w]

You drawn some beast in begin, never seen how you made them pixelart..... I wanted to see how you make the regular art into pixelart

[@amindler]

This was created as a team and the pixel art versions were created by another member.

[@wej0w]

anywhere i can see that?

[@amindler]

The hand drawn art is just concept work created to help the pixel artist create the pixel work. Pixel art and animation is all done by hand and is time consuming, so creating concept art ahead of time let's them just get to work crafting a pixel version of the creation and then animating it. A lot of times the design doesn't make a 1 to 1 translation to the pixel world but that's totally fine. The line work is just concept work created to inspire the pixel artist, to free up their mind so they're not having to spend time coming up with ideas on top of creating a pixel version that makes sense. Many times they see the concept and are inspired to craft something different but in a similar vein as what was drawn. Sometimes what's drawn in line work just doesn't work in pixel art.

[@amindler]

The pixel artist for this particular game didn't record their process so there's no record for you to watch.

[@Chevifier]

I made 2 videos similar to this but its creating and animating a single character I just used KZbin's free tracks lol

[@LeightonW87]

Always surprised how quick these small games can be made. I've worked on and off with game development and basic pixel art for a while now and find it a struggle to even think of art assets, let alone doing them to a decent quality. Any advice for working on art assets to keep motivated and not to nod of while doing it as I find it very hard to keep my concentration on the work.. I know it's a rather strange thing to ask but I am genuinely interested in knowing. Love the art work for the game btw.

[@coolhunter3]

+Leighton Williams Not an expert by any definition but i would try to find out what causes you to get demotivated in the first place. Maybe you are setting your goals too high and feel you're making no progress, maybe you get demotivated because you feel your work is not good enough. If you know the cause you can try to fix that. What also can work is to use the DGPA method: www.dumblittleman.com/2011/05/how-to-turn-your-dream-into-plan-in.html If you follow these steps you should be able to stay motivated and reach your goals.

[@im-pk]

+Leighton Williams I'm not an expert either, but I have started loads of projects that I've never finished and I have 1 good tip for you - Make a to-do list from the start, write down just about every little thing you need to do, and don't erase the ones you finish, mark them as completed.

[@amindler]

+Leighton Williams This is actually a very common issue and hard to address. For us, being on a team really helps. You can help keep each other going. The constrained time frame also helps. You have to make hard decisions fast and stick to them. The sense of comradery and urgency both keep things moving for the 48 to 72 hours.

[@Scamalasaurus]

Leighton Williams I have the same problem. I have yet to find a fool proof way of solving it but I've noticed that inspiration is a must. That's a given but inspiration is a tricky thing and is often found in unexpected places so it's very difficult to nail down a way of actually acquiring it. I've had brilliant concepts sneak up on me out of nowhere at points in my life where I have no use for them and I've also found myself blocked when I most need that inspiration. Dreams actually play a huge role as far as I've experienced. So much so that if I'm not having regular dreams then I have a hard time finding inspiration. Stress, eating too close to bedtime, a poor schedule, alcohol too close to bedtime, dehydration and a myriad of other things can cause a person to fail to enter REM sleep. REM or Rapid Eye Movement is the deep state of sleep where dreams live and people are capable of avoiding it for years on end without even realizing it. A telltale sign is when you stop remembering any dreams or you don't know if you have them or not because you can never remember them. That's not healthy and it can lead to depression and hopelessness eventually. Dreams are of a vital importance to creative people because they help us to delve into the subconscious and derive visual and auditory data from the abstract information that is typically hidden from us consciously. When you derive something from true inspiration you are taking an idea that has made a home in your head for no seemingly explainable reason and you are giving it life. I personally think that it is explainable though and that the disconnect comes from the fact that our conscious minds have difficulty translating the information that our subconscious minds present to it. This isn't by accident though, the subconscious is designed to automate things so that we don't have to consciously make decisions in order to accomplish simple tasks like breathing. It's a closed system and it isn't really something that I think we can figure out completely but we can observe input and output as well as the fact that doing something more makes us better at it whether or not it's good for us. In so doing it is possible to connect dreams to the things that inspire them to be and it should also be possible to connect the inspiration that dreams give to the eventual results within our physical reality. That said, give yourself a vacation from pressure and let your mind relax. It will initially seem like a waste of time but it isn't. The real waste is in the amount of time which you will spend chasing your own tail in search of answers that don't exist while you try to appease the pressure givers, the worst of which is the pressure giver within yourself.

[@Oridan1]

i wanted to see coding :/

[@cgme7076]

Same here.

[@Totiimon]

Why N O T?

[@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet]

Coding a 2D game is literally in every corner with dozens of tutorials and courses. Seeing a good artist full work cycle is much more valuable.

[@studiovulcan4411]

I would've liked to have seen both, Alexey.

[@pawsdfgg9238]

me too, thats why i was here...

[@JohnTheRipper6]

Just played the game. The controls are a little tricky but overall, it's pretty awesome. The art is absolutely fantastic. For 72 hours, this game is badass!

[@emilianosenega4564]

It must be amazing to code a game while being handed all the graphic assets!

[@MhMikman]

Really nice assets, and nice view of the work of someone during a gamejam in a larger team!

[@ianmendes7801]

Awesome design! Great outcome in a short time job, Bravo!

[@AstrobotJones]

Awesome. Great time lapse of the digital art assets being created. I'd like to see more of the coding involved, tho I understand that would be less interesting and (obviously very likely) difficult to even comprehend at that speed. Oh, and I thought it was odd the music stopped after just a few minutes into the video.

[@xxprogamerxx9706]

Am the only one who thinks watching this at bedtime is so soothing Technically I’m asking for likes PLZ

[@devikhati8748]

xXProGamerXx here you go, asshole

[@TheRealDestro]

What a great job! Excellent character development.

[@aqiloxnetwork4730]

The art is insane! Great job!

[@MidasButSilver]

really nice artwork, the detailed ones as well as the cartoony ones

[@SmirkWrench]

Glad I'm not the only one that spends half their time trying to think of a name for their game ;)

[@DecibelAlex]

wow that artwork is awesome

[@Guadeloop]

Great design and really fun idea and gameplay

[@HighseekGaming]

awesome game, niice little concept to how it flows with the art. i would love to see another 72hr run of making enhancements to this little game, like a series.. 72hrs for base game, 72hrs for expansion of base game. good luck and keep at it! :D

[@MarlandoCrosdale]

Such work in only 3 days? Wow!!! 👍

[@Beowulf-eg2li]

This guy's game, made in just 72 hours, is 10 times better than any of the games I've made over the past 2 years lol

[@WymanandBrad]

ElAshtonio well he was just the artist. His team was doing all the other stuff

[@Beowulf-eg2li]

That's a good point; still, the artwork he's done in 72 hours is a lot better than the artwork I could spend 2 years doing ;)

[@Rambolink94]

This is beautiful pixel art, and an interesting gameplay style. It uses the most out of a small playspace. I feel like one thing that needs to be added though, is parallaxing. I love parallaxing because it turns a 2D space into what feels like 3D space. It also gives a great sense of motion. Anyways, great art and awesome game! Great work!

[@kolegaramic260]

Best designer I saw by now (amateur designer acting like a professional one)

[@paulharman4323]

So, maple story was made in 72 hours?

[@kingmidas3287]

Shouldn't be discounting how cool what they have done is

[@CaprianoPlays]

This guy did more in 72 hours than I did in 35 years.

[@nickw6969]

Well this was a team but yeah lol It's extremely impressive

[@dogzer]

wow dude wtf, that looks great! only in 72h!

[@yoranbellens3579]

much talent here

[@artano5954]

This is very impressive

[@Jezzy_]

Music in the beginning is Dub Zap - Jingle Punks :)

[@andykoh8593]

I specialised in Art for my game design track, and it's lovely to see things like this , if only the coder could have added more particle effects to truely make the game shine

[@victory8992]

8:45 Looks like some twitching from FNAF.

[@cryptodefiita4464]

congratz mate and awesome work, those concept are so cool,i think that if you put those monster concept into game , during character's dialogue, the game would become much better.

[@SaidMetiche-qy9hb]

did you know theres a bug in the game where you can jump in to infinity?

[@eazy6037]

This is incredibly cool man! I love the artwork and gameplay. This is so awesome, great job!

[@AlvinYoda]

dude wow so cool pixel arts!

[@ChallengRtHim2]

I love your art

[@alexgaetanopadula4057]

beautiful

[@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet]

Well the whole point of pixel art is supposed to be for the entry level artists to be able to create beautiful scenery, not for an amazing experienced artist to re-draw his work in 16 bit.. Hehe, very nice work and vid. You inspire me, sir.

[@Pichotweb]

You work is awesome, I would like to draw like you. Gratz bro!

[@kevinsargent]

Your artwork is so fucking amazing

[@AssassinGrudge]

beast you drawn in the begining are more scary than lovecraft monsters

[@supernova6177]

ur really good at pixel art

[@caidenbritton5481]

what program did they (he/she) use??

[@mothlookingatyouthruthewin9706]

I liked the bit at like 4:09 when you randomly searched sanic and dankey kang memes

[@IlliaPogodin]

Awesome memes on the background

[@venpresath]

Since everyone's been asking (3 years ago), they used Melon.JS as the game engine to make this. Very powerful, super fun to use. Awesome entry! I couldn't imagine making something like this in 3 days.

[@claudiovalenzuela151]

You know the language or the game's motor used in this project?? that's great job....well done

[@kokiia4683]

This is pretty neat

[@republic-ld3hq]

The games I use to play in cool math games

[@xS3NTRYx]

Fantastic work!!

[@AL-ri6bk]

I appreciate them more now. Instead of being too cheap about it

[@wiktorjajcarz448]

What program is he using, for sketching?

[@danielphil4976]

Wiktor jajcarz Photoshop

[@jacobgaming768]

You are great at computer art!

[@laz8258]

dude youre such a good artist :o

[@predatortheme]

How i made a 3 textures in 72 hours TIMELAPSE you meant?

[@AlphaFennec]

Whoa that meme overload at 7:18 doe xD

[@AuliyaasGames]

it's... it's so beautiful.... i can't stop watching...

[@morelonomijuan4691]

The music blow my brain out

[@Fraize]

The art is good

[@Borhamus]

Awesome job!

[@johnnyvandenelzen2250]

this art is amazing!

[@legoneb]

I love the Koalabee

[@komekulo2106]

I really hate it when the game doesnt live up to the art. I know this was a speedrun but still. this is a compliment towards your drawings btw

[@artymenzies]

really nice

[@justinj1478]

the programing seems amazing, graphics/animation even better but I'm not too sure on the entertainment part but good job👊 left a like man.. I could never make something like this aha

[@Ryanprovements]

inspiring

[@Keyboardwarrior6977]

this is awesome

[@hanctr]

yo ur too good in drawing 🤩

[@chanruzzi]

Cool game. Nice art! Too bad when you die, you have to start over, no checkpoint. lol

[@greg3493]

Well done! Amazing!

[@maximzulin337]

good job!

[@ezra9139]

this is amazing

[@Metronomical3]

I played your game for about 1 hour trying to beat it

[@MartinRonneChannel]

Amazing graphics :-)

[@justinmlawrence]

This is so epic!

[@stuwustudio]

Imagine the same backg. but with parallex scrolling !

[@AristarhSisy]

Просто ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНАЯ РАБОТА!

[@dwifebriyanto0]

Cool What game engine do you use?

[@hazaamohammed7877]

well done

[@DarthMerlin]

What was your process for converting the more high resolution artwork into pixel art? Do you have some way of being able to draw with larger pixels?

[@thefrisianviking28]

Rip to all the people with headphones.

[@sanghyuk2]

o wow that was amazing.

[@mexsquirtle]

What is the game engine used?

[@robo2763]

christian chavez Roblox

[@gatts6217]

Lol

[@braindeveloperdimensional5579]

Game editor. Its a C based game engine

[@cavand6340]

Connected worlds? More like, connected species AHH

[@keineken_3281]

Where did you study and where did you find your actual team of work?

[@ГригорийХовер]

This game looks more realistic than new bethesda games!

[@Geckomyecho]

found this interesting thank

[@gangster0gaby]

This is amazing!!

[@anzhel3268]

nice graphics

[@StefanLopuszanski]

72? I thought it was only 48? Did it used to be 72 or something?

[@ErtBaran]

Goood job 👍🏻

[@phamdinhhoang1998]

but where is the fish's scapular?

[@daniel83341]

Nice Game :D

[@clairedcaptions]

I am not surprised it took you 72 hours I am making the basics and logic of a game im making first, then making textures, python or java?

[@ivansalcedo6834]

What drawing tablet do you use? Your art is amazing!

[@amindler]

+NJ Ivan one of the $99 wacom tablets from like 4 years ago. They don't make it anymore. But i'm sure the ones for that same price are now actually better than the one I have.

[@ivansalcedo6834]

+Andrew Mindler Ah nice, thanks for replying. xD Also sorry I'm so late :p

[@ethanhan2068]

can I ask why you drew such amazing pictures at the beginning and then make a bolded outline of them? I understand you made a pixel game but it would have been soo much cooler if it was more graphics.

[@CoachIsakS]

+Ethan Han harder to animate I guess

[@amindler]

+Ethan Han The bigger crazier drawings were done as conceptual work to inspire people and get ideas for the games and themes moving. the smaller thicker lined versions are trying to take the big drawings and find their silhouette as well as figure out what aspects need to pop so they read well at a small size. Due to being pixel are, the size of things is locked to a certain scale and amount of pixels. We could upres everything if we wanted but it is far more time consuming to animate as well as design and make everything. It also increases the final size of the game. Our pixel art games are super small due to the whole game existing on only a few dense sprite sheets.

[@ethanhan2068]

+Andrew Mindler wow that's amazing but your talent needs to be shown TO THE WORLD :)

[@MalcolmVivaldy]

i dont understand... so photoshop for making model? for coding using what ? unity , c++ , java? i mean... im not programmer... i just want to know.. for making game like this.. what all software are needed and for what?

[@travisoliver2288]

My last 3 games I've put together have been pixel art, which sometimes really doesn't complement what the game is. I've been looking at drawing pads/tablets under around $150. What would you suggest in that price range. (I suppose you used one for the art since it is very high detail compared to what could be done with a mouse.)

[@amindler]

Is recommend the 100 or so bucks Wacom's. They've recently changed their lineup with intuos draw/photo/art/comic and I don't know what the difference is there. But I've used Wacom for years and are the best that I've found. As for pixeling, I'd say just use a mouse.

[@travisoliver2288]

Thanks!

[@jordanzish]

+Travis Oliver I picked up an older generation Intuos for under $100. The Wacom Bamboo is great, but if you do want a bigger tablet without the price of the current models, consider looking for an Intuos 2 or 3 on Craigslist.

[@graeme5223]

72 hours? I thought Ludum Dare was 48 hours
