Hey everyone! If you've always wanted to make your own games but don't know how, check out this link: www.gamedevrocket.com/

[@thecrazymoon6578]

Epic

[@projectzomboidfan517]

Really love this video format, you guys are taking fan feedback and incorporating it, props to you.

[@Skadidd]

You should have them make a vr game

[@gcstudios9091]

Literally me

[@IDNK1]

I'd love to get game dev rocket... But 700 dollars is too expensive. I'm a highschooler and don't have that money to spend I have a Unity and C# course that I bought on Udemy for about 20$... It's not a great one mind you, and I've been looking for something better, but I just can't pay for it.

[@OtterIsVibin]

Turbo: removes varying movement mechanics to make the game interesting Also Turbo: The game became boring very fast

[@dontaskwhatmyname9002]

what even more annoying is that when the 5th dev blame himself for the shitty movement, turbo just nodded his head like yeah its his fault

[@Noobtron05]

@@dontaskwhatmyname9002 the video even zoomed in on turbo when he said that lol

[@xaius4348]

I do think that limiting the movement options was a reasonable Idea, but they removed too many to the point where the health drain mechanic stopped making sense. Stuff like Crouching and double jumps I could see being removed, maaaaaaybe melee, maybe make sprinting default, but definitely not dashing.

[@LongPlayPladde]

This cyber-chad made lots of new fans... NOT!

[@A-Wild-Frost]

Melee enabled the parry mechanic, not really needed in the end game, but could have been cool too.

[@belzedk]

Turbo: I removed all the controls because I thought it was to complicated, then I got bored while playing the game so I added an ad for my channel and made it an important part of the game.

[@MattPryze]

And added backtracking...

[@UnknownGamer40464]

​@@MattPryzeIf that other guy's suggestion of having to leave enemies alive to make the trip back was kept, and no locked rooms, it would actually be interesting to backtrack and require some planning and actually be faster paced leaving than going in, focusing mostly on movement instead of shooting while on a short timer.

[@Buggolious]

@@mrsquiggles1379 that's completely fine but turbo didn't get the memo I guess

[@adamusprime403]

​@@WWEMikanoTheres a pattern/commonality ive noticed, these individuals usually run youtube channels or are influential in the indie development scene to some degree. All of their projects eithet are made solely by themselves, or theyre the dominant voice in the projects. And they have an ego to some degree, believing they understand game development, the markets, or gamers over other developers. They often view themselves are artistic visionaries or arteurs. I really think that these sorts of challenges, especially if they want to be considered seriously like other game jams they should have very particular rules on team ethics, rules that aim to both protect the visions or ideas of other creators, but also exist to make sure no one team member can take over the project. Turbo and many of this others take control of the game to protect their own ego, but by extensions hurting their teammates, and the spirit of the challenge. What does a "no communication" rule matter, if one guy can take over the entire project.

[@Jamberss]

Yeah I gotta say removing most of the movement mechanics was not a good idea

[@lmanproductions8680]

Agreed. And then he immediately says, “Now the game is not fun because you’re just walking around” 🤦‍♂️

Bro I personally think Turbo ruined it by removing wall jumping and dashing. What also completely ticks me off is he said he "improved" the movement

dev 4: doesn't know what movement based shooters are despite them being the new trend then proceeds to remove the core mechanic of the game, complain about it being boring, then adds backtracking and self promotion despite being already promored by being part of the video.

[@Buggolious]

@@BrunodeSouzaLino let's remove *running* from the game, yeah that'll make it more interesting

Exactly

[@ActuallyGoose]

Based on the amount of likes this comment has I think people agree

[@tomiwaaina5499]

He did also add a bit of a game loop but yes you are totally right. He didn't do much else but remove good content lol

[@Fwoppy808]

don't forget he added everyones favorite thing in games backtracking /s

[@ericsilva6787]

And then he stayed quiet when the other dev said it was his fault it was not fun

[@daddy6757]

It could have been "Alice's Hardcore Parkour Wonderland" if they kept the unique movement mechanic.

[@NX269]

Hardcore Alice

[@omegaminoseer4539]

I think that "Alice in Parkourland" has a nice ring to it. What I found interesting was the slow-down of the game. I don't know where the transition actually happened, since the game remained pretty fast into Turbo Makes Games, it was only made slightly harder with Procedural Generation.

[@Jamberss]

@@omegaminoseer4539 It's very clear where the transition happened. Turbo removed all of the advanced movement and made the game extremely simple. That's where it became slow.

[@iribis5957]

[@LongPlayPladde]

@@Jamberss BIGGEST mistake.... he's like: Yeah let's take away all the cool mechanics and WOAH! The game is boring now o.o What a suprise!....

[@projectzomboidfan517]

Turbo really removed the best features, added something relating to his own studio, basically added nothing useful/fun/new and called it a day. there definitely should be some rule against removing progress of other developers, what's the point if someone will just undo all the progress you made?

[@adamusprime403]

Also his level of self promotion is bordering on malicious

[@lukajolich7669]

​@@adamusprime403Self promotion like this really ought to be banned in these videos. There was a similar instance in another video where a guy replaced stuff with a bunch of ai art all to promote his ai generation asset (which he failed to disclose was his own).

[@AustinCameron]

Yeah, he ruined the video

[@dannyg.4421]

I feel like when some one introduces something we get excited about the creative ways the others are going to improve, add and/twist the ideas there (the "yes and" mentality) and if something gets lost in translation due to the broken telephone game that's actually alright because that is what's fun about the series but when some one comes in and purposely gets rid of it, it just feels like a waste of time for the person that made it and the audience for getting invested. I'm not saying you got to tip toe over everything but scrapping what's been there to fit your idea for the game... it feels bad. Also like the logo, it's a good design. It doesn't fit the aesthetic of the game. Ahh yes the samurai helmet I mean "crown" in Alice and wonderland.... it felt like it was for a different game.

[@sourlesscream1272]

Turbo, yeah he made a mistake removing some features quite a big one. BUT, he is the one that added some sort of direction to the levels themselves and gave it an endpoint so he didn't just add nothing. While I'll agree that he did use his slot to self promote too, other devs in this challenge have done the same, like how this started with the FPS engine was a huge self promotion, done in the correct way ofc as he sparked the entire game. Or as luka brought up, the guy using his ai generation asset, it is all to promote it. A big part of this challenge is to promote yourself or your brand.

[@itskxmi]

Hopefully Turbo actually reads the comments and understands why people criticize him

[@yuuunarukami7006]

Honestly, the guy knew he messed up at the end, there were several points where he could have said he removed the mechanics, specially the point where the other developer was saying "the lack of fast movement may have been my fault" but he just didn't. It's not anything huge, but It's weird how he didn't mention it. although that may have been for the better, since the game already seems to have a decently big "going through walls" problem.

[@MaMastoast]

[@adamusprime403]

I think based on much of the criticism i am seeing on this video, and criticism from prior videos, I think you should maybe add a new challenge type where; Next developers cannot remove mechanics and concepts introduced by prior developers, they can only build off what already exists. I think to a lot of fans of these videos it goes against the spirit of the challenge to let developers remove extremely important things introduced by prior developers. It likely feels like an insult to the developers who introduced these mechanics, and it gives too much power to later developers to basically have absolute control over the project.

[@BBQ-Ketchup]

THIS

[@mittendemon4493]

Exactly build on what exists or revise it but dont take it away (ex redoing someones shop or ugrade mechanix but not getting rid of it altogether)

[@dabonky]

This is the one, by doing that you only improve the concept made by the previous developers and make sure it works with the idea you want to implement. No one's getting overshadowed and everyone's contribution is still cohesive.

[@amos4868]

agreed. the game could have turned out better if mechanics like bullet deflection were built upon

[@CFDuffLumi]

But not always the introduced mechanics are actually good. I’ve seen a number of those videos where removing something actually was better for the final game. But I guess, they could introduce a limit on how much you actually can remove

[@ben666mail]

no creator should be allowed to remove features by previous creators , defeats the purpose of the challenge *cough cough turbo makes games*

[@icslush]

tbh, this seems like an implicit rule and just common courtesy as a dev. Only instance i'd say removing such explicit features is okay is if you expand on their intention or they cause significant bugs.

[@adamusprime403]

​@@icslushYeah i was saying this in my own comment, removing stuff goes directly against the spirit of the challenge. It would be like doing a game jam, and the game you produce has nothing to do with the challenge.

I was kind of disappointed to see the mechanic of reflecting projectiles back at enemies taken out of the game!

The whole point is that they are game devs, not artists, so while yeah, it is necessary to make a game look better, there should be more than that.

I think it would be sick if the devs could only ADD upon the designs of others, without removing things added intentionally. If you get a game with wall-running, keep it, try to work around it! If You can’t, oh well, that’s the challenge! It just seems like we get a lot of complete games, but they always end up at tad basic (think of Noa’s centipede)

[@MantridJones]

Turbo: After I deleted half the mechanics, it got boring fast 🤣

[@dibyendudeogharia8323]

I was so mad when I saw the dev removing the movement mechanics ngl. He closed all the possibilies of creating interesting levels with all sorts of different mechanics. The level could have expanded vertically and what not. I love the art style. It would be more fun to see the art style evolve keeping wall running in place. It would be challenging for art team as well as level designers. Although a very good outcome. I love this series. And yeah MORE TREESS!!!!! Cuz why not! :D

​@@tiacool7978and for some reason some people are upset that dev 3 "changed" the theme of the game. The previous theme being completely untextured square rooms and solely made up of raw cubes.

[@MrRADicalOfficial]

​@@UnknownGamer40464 Because it didn't fit the direction the game was going in. DuelWielded literally added a mechanical sound to make it go in that direction and she just completely disregarded it. Plus her models didn't fully fit with the weapon designs. Now, the end result was really cool, but her changes at first just didn't really make sense. I'm not saying she ruined it or anything, just that what she did didn't fit what was already established. Turbo deserves all the hate though, he legitimately ruined it.

[@UnknownGamer40464]

@@MrRADicalOfficial Nothing about a shooter doesn't fit the art style, you just lack imagination. There is plenty of dark alice in wonderland media that you apparently aren't privy to. Literally nobody noticed his mechanical sounds and that's apparent. Her models fit just fine since everything else was untextured rectangles before she got to it.

[@MrRADicalOfficial]

@@UnknownGamer40464 lmao lack imagination? Good one. I have more imagination than the average person dude, and you can't decide how much creativity I have from a comment section. Did you miss the part where I said at the end it fit too (mostly)? It actually did look good, again at the end. It only fit because the last devs art person expanded it to fit better, but what she did originally felt odd. Her style was off. I did not like it because the established style of the weapons and game mechanics (less so the pistol, but her enemies were odd) clashed with hers. Apparently you don't know how art in video games needs to be consistent with the rest of the game or it looks bad, which it slightly did. Not horrible or anything, just off. Other Alice games are completely irrelevant because the weapons and environments would of been made to fit the style perfectly. Also no, I do not play or care for Alice In Wonderland games. The style is cool though, and I like the movies. Didn't notice the mechanical sounds? You're the next dev, it's your job to find out everything that was added so you can expand/improve on it properly. Plenty of devs who were handed bigger games and noticed small things like that. It's on her for not seeing it in the code or noticing it in game. It IS her fault. Same as how it's other devs faults for giving the game 5-15min and then ending up messing up the game because they didn't find out all the other mechanics/assets/other things the previous devs added. This happened in the other videos, devs starting before they even understood what the project was about/found all the features and they usually made it worse in the end because their changes didn't match up with what was previously established causing the next people to have to fix it or expand on it in a way that takes too much time. Luckily her choices didn't ruin it, Turbo's did. "Her models fit just fine since everything else was untextured rectangles before she got to it." No sh*t, I'm not talking about the environment I'm talking about the weapons/game mechanics looking and feeling different than what you'd expect from what she made. The styles clashed. If you think it looked good that is purely subjective so I can't argue much more against it. Opinion is opinion. I think her enemies and a small small portion of her meshes looked off compared to what the game was at that point. With a different style it would of fit much better for a shooter, which I'm not arguing can't be done with an Alice In Wonderlands theme. It's purely her style she chose I was against (mostly the enemies). Most of her models I knew could be expanded on to fit well, which did happen. The enemies didn't feel like the type of enemy you'd be shooting at in that type of game. The mesh and textures weren't bad though, just don't think they fit.

[@Pope_]

I think movement shooter -> roguelike is a pretty reasonable evolution. Making the art very cute and alice and wonderland esc- isnt tradtional, but it is unique and understandable. The only problematic part of this video was the 4th dev removing core components of the gameplay just because he disliked them. He didnt even replace them with interesting features. All he did was remove movement, plug his videos, and leave. The last dev seems really talented and im sure could have made the game a lot more interesting if he didn't have to not only pick up the slack of the previous developer, but also fix the gameplay mechanics he ruined and fix all the bugs, while STILL making the art more cohereant. I think there are 2 major issues with this challenge that need to be addressed before the next one: 1: There is no rule prohibiting devs from scrapping as much content as they want to make a game they like. They arent there to make a game they like, they are there to make a game based off of what the previous devs made. 2: They need to place each dev more strategically. Artists and studios should be placed at the end so they can do the important work like fixxing bugs and developing an art style. Core feature developers should be placed at the beginning to develop a fun game loop. They arent communicating, just managed/placed in a way that makes the game feel more complete.

[@alex86fire]

@@Pope_ I would actually like to see a version of this challenge where they can leave one note for the next dev. Not full on communication but one thing that each dev would like the next ones to continue. Like the one with the idea of making it robot based. I'm sure each dev would have one idea that would like to stay, make it into the game but they didn't have time to fully develop it.

[@f0kes32]

Great video! I love the extended reaction AND discussion phase! The game turned out good, and the videos are better and better each time, I see that you listen to the feedback. It's a bit sad all the movement mechanics were removed though. I felt it synergized well with the timer mechanic (later devs had to make it easier because of that i think). The idea of not locking down all the rooms is good.

[@anti1917]

It really sucked that Turbo removed the fast-paced Movement. That really hindered the game. I would've also loved to see the Game as envisioned by DualWielded. It would've made sense to have a fast-paced movement shooter being about Ultra High Tech Robots stealing fuel from each other. Just imagine, this game could've been the successor to "Ultrakill".

[@CybermoreLIVE]

[@stevenbuck4090]

I think with the art style, it made it hard to do wall running and parkour, but I do agree that was a lame change removing the extra movement. The game was simple then and the movement complex, but the way to go should have been increasing the complexity of the base game instead of dumbing the movement down that far. Perhaps adding lava pits or obstacles; something like that would really push you to work against the clock, and even simple enemies pushing you back or hindering you would be difficult.

[@KaseyC.]

An easy way to fix that would've just been to upscale the size of the rooms instead of completely removing the movement. Or remodel the rooms to fit the movement better

[@feha92]

Just make branches (or other wall-decor) have no collision, if the model interferes with wallrunning. Or the branch room could be there to purposefully force you to slow down in that room, with maybe some extra differences to make that interesting (other enemy types? floor-traps? something that hurts you if you move too slowly/linearly (like a bullet storm)?)

[@nikolai3468]

personally, it would probably have been alright with just some changes(?) considering that the last team did the art direction AFTER the movement was already removed, maybe they would have adjusted level design and art more to cater for the movement, had the movement just not been removed at all.

[@xaius4348]

My immediate thought with the health draining mechanic was that you are an ordinary person, but your gun is a vampire. If you don't provide the vampire gun with blood, it takes yours. Though this idea only works if you stick to a single weapon.

The dev that just killed all the movement and fun aspects and then added his own logo as the final goal killed the game and just made me feel gross about him.

watering down the movement was a bad decision, it really slowed down the game and made it a lot more boring.

[@TheKmanKVSC]

I think game devs should learn from this about not removing features the same way they learnt about not adding an extra boss late in the development cycle.

[@Pope_]

The problem with these challenges is that half the devs come into the project with there own game idea in mind so instead of building on/improving what the previous devs have already created they remove and change features that are in place so that the game fits what THEY want. Removing the movement mechanichs and restyling the game completely invalidates half of the vison/work the first 2 devs did, genuinely think we need new rules in place about removing or changing the work previous devs have done, it feels very disrespectful to undo so much work just to enforce your own vison. I would rather have a needlessly complex/hard/annoying game then a bare bones game because one of the devs decided he/she didnt like a set of features and completely removed them. If you cant work around a mechanich then oh well, you dont add anything, we move on. Right now it is a dev who cant work around the movement so he turned it into a slow paced shooter. In the future it might be a dev who dislikes fps games as a whole and decides to delete all of the past devs work and turn it into a stardew valley clone. It just dosent feel in the spirit of the challenge to remove work because you dislike ot or are bad at working with it. That might just be me tho.

[@lolactus8908]

That completely goes against this whole concept. It's devs making games with "no communication", the adding of rules such as not removing things acts as a form of restriction and communication at the same time. Basically telling a dev "you have to work around this feature" and "you can't remove this". If you have watched the previous videos in this series you will notice in all of them at least one feature a dev made was removed by another. In fact the best end result (in my opinion) this series had was the 1st episode where they made a tower defense game. In that episode the Princess, Unicorn, Mana system, and a ton of assets were removed and the end result was absolutely fantastic. I've seen other videos with a similar concept of not communicating that ended with just a janky game containing too many opposing features due to the fact no dev was willing to "step on another dev's toes", so kept work that should have been removed. Adding an explicit (or even implied) rule of not removing things that other devs did will just work against the concept. We should discourage what Turbo did in this video (he definitely harmed the final result with too many removals) but the institution of literal rules to stop that behavior will only end in a worse result.
