6 DEVS Make an online MULTIPLAYER GAME without COMMUNICATING!

[@Blackthornprod]

Happy new year! Tricky question, should we make a VR Pass the Game Challenge OR a board game Pass the Game challenge next?

[@sayankabir7958]

Board Game 🤩

[@T3chedOut]

WOW both are ambitious but I'd love to see what this process looks like for a VR game!

[@DiamBoi]

Vr because then it would put up a bit more of a challenge and it would be more interesting

[@mshazaz]

I want a vr game also happy new year and this is my favourite series pls keep it up love you!

[@_borissvfx]

Make a vr pass the game challenge next, also Happy New Year! Keep it up guys, I love your content

[@joestout2326]

Personally i like it when all the devs who didn't communicate get to play the game at the end

[@antidotebrain69]

Ngl. The alien voicing is hilarious! The last guy was impressive. The polish and finishing touches he added made the game feel more completed. Maybe you could do a special double round development for a more complex style of game?

[@Blackthornprod]

Those alien voices have a Hollow Knight feel- love it! We are definitely thinking of making a larger scale Pass the Game Challenge where devs have more time.

[@windflowstudio]

good idea actually, i wanna see how they can manage that!

[@flotto7045]

@@Blackthornprod Do you think you'd be able to gather enough people to make an actual gamejam out of this idea where people are randomly matched?

[@morgan0]

yea that’s something i’ve suggested a few times, once thru for basic features, and then once thru again for polish, bug fixes, and other smaller changes. also would be neat to see something where you have people making assets without knowing what the game is and then they need to be repurposed (only minor changes) to be used in the game

I have an idea to expand on this project activity: A number of devs make a game without communication, but the game is cycled through the line of devs a second time. Meaning that each dev gets to work on the game 2 separate times Edit: Whoa! 100+ likes! Thanks everyone! Edit: and now at 300+ likes! Many thanks! First time a comment has gotten that many likes

[@Aaarrrgh89]

There is a really interesting strategic move in this game. If you are about to be destroyed by another player, the correct move is often to throw yourself at an NPC enemy att the last second to deny the other players your money.

[@edenanthony3491]

Awesome video, absolutely love these game dev challenges, they always lead to such amazing results. One thing I’ve noticed is because Noa tends to be near the beginning of the challenge, often the games art style have his signature look to them. They look really cool, but it would be really interesting to see Noa be placed towards the end of a challenge, and then have to adapt his style to someone else’s art. Could be a nice challenge/put you out your comfort zone. Awesome work though, keep producing this series I absolutely love it!

I'm surprised no one thought of a power up shop that uses the money and a point leader-board system from killing the enemies but I did like a lot of what DevBanana added

I wish more KZbinrs did things like this they’re very entertaining and generally fun to watch

[@thatchercornwell]

A cooperative game with out cooperation in its making is very ironic and I love it.

[@moocowp4970]

Love this series! My fav game Dev series currently! I love finding these new Devs I hadn't watched before too! I would have loved a reaction of when people first play the game too, particularly since it started as a co-op and ended as a competitive game haha . Also, I just wanted to check, did everyone have 4 hours or 5 this time? (DevBanana had a graphic where it went from 5 hours down to 3.5 after he spent 1.5hrs on something)

[@Ajackster]

Loved being a part of this - the game turned out awesome 😎

[@Blackthornprod]

Thanks for taking part man :)!

[@kingbling7571]

u were clearly too good at the game, feelsbad that they ganged up on u lol

[@joecraig988]

I think it is really cool how you respond to feedback and have the devs react to it!!!!!! Awesome video 👍

[@manderm]

I love watching these videos by more knowledgeable game developers. I'm only at the beginning of my journey, doing the Full Time Game Dev course by Thomas Brush, and I think what you guys can do in 4 hours would take me 4 weeks.

[@tronche2cake]

I think it would be cool to do this concept while passing the game around for two or three cycles. Everyone would have more chances to modify the game and it would overall be more polished.

[@robertbloom4424]

I LOVE the Boho art style. Very cool. And the tension in the game is very well done. GG, guys!

[@xaius4348]

Love these videos, just wish we got to see a slightly more finished game! Whether that be more time per turn, more participants, a second round of passing, progressively more time for each participant, or anything else. Feels like it always ends right as its getting to the best part.

[@cara-seyun]

Wow I was just binging your previous devjam vids! This is a great channel and I’m stressed I haven’t found it before.

[@Blackthornprod]

Welcome aboard!

[@valentineDev]

I really love how these games turn out each time. It's incredible how people still kinda work together without communicating

[@josephbostaph9773]

I wish there was a series where you would revisit these games and continue to work on them

[@classicFootball276]

Love it when you upload. Not many devs upload that often. Thanks noah

[@stevenbuck4090]

This actually turned out great! I'd love to see a shop/buy mechanic, so players could swap cash for more power, so short term loss for longer term rewards.

[@Secrets17x]

I love the little enemies you created initially. I don't have much skill when it comes to drawing, so I struggle when it comes to obtaining assets for a project. The enemies created sort of painted a picture in my mind of how to make a simple 2D model. I forget that I should break it all down into basic shapes lol.

[@oliver-04]

It was awesome taking part in this, thank you for the opportunity!!👍 Love from Norway

[@J.E.L.2658]

Lol the first dev being unable to do anything past making the multiplayer work is so relatable

[@andrewg3196]

You know Jason is legit because what he did was very simple and feasible and actually achievable in the allotted time. Often with these game dev challenges I highly doubt that what people did was within the time frame.

[@xwyvernx8399]

This was so fun to watch, imagine what could have happened with more time and communication :O

[@grimsladeleviathan3958]

This feels like a really good hangout game. One of those games you and your mates hop on for some last bit of fun before logging off and going to bed. I like the simplicity of it, you just go in and survive while trying to kill the other players. If it was more polished and had proper servers, I would absolutely love it. Nevertheless, this was a great episode!

[@jjcrafter123]

the fireplace computer background is a great touch lol

[@Lucky8712]

[@novatide]

You guys should do one where they can't remove anything only add to things (they can change the function slightly or appearance but the relative idea of the thing is the same)

[@noonewhomatters8941]

This is awesome, does each dev also edit their own video sections? I noticed that everyone seems to have a different style of their video

Hello Prod! I've been planning to re-RE-make Rumble In The Void again and really like your art style! I did your planet tutorial which encourages the viewer to use your art style for it. The game I plan to make will contain a lot of elements as in the one you made for THIS video. I'll be using Construct 2 as usual, and Photon for the first time, for the networking. I'd love any tips or advice for it, and if it's okay to use this video as inspiration, if I end up making said game?

[@danielcintz8880]

Because there is no place to browse open lobbys please create ones with the name as the number '1' or letter 'a' so that we can actually play

I think rather than a competition it would have been more entertaining for a reaction/interview style ending part

[@dominicstevenson8816]

I thought the game was gonna become something like using mi ey to get upgrades, I feel like a lot,of these games have timers. Timers restrict gameplay, they take a game that could be fun and last for awhile to something that is only going to be a min or two. The reason why a timer is usually added is because otherwise they will have to add more stuff to make the game more playable. Personally I feel like using a timer especially almost IN EVERY GAME makes everything feel repetitive. You can have a timer for round 1 or something, but then give everyone another chance to add stuff, or just more time in the first place then after round 2, you could have a simple timed game, and maybe something a bit more enticing.

[@what3verfloatsurgoat391]

This game needs a shop players can access between rounds to spend their money in

[@Rs-fg1rz]

I think coop is better. if you die you lose half money, then the end of each round lets you upgrade. (friendly fire is still up) The end goal is to kill the spawners (with a ridiculous amount of regen) and strengthens the less spawner is alive
