Brackeys Game Jam 2020 - BEST GAMES!

[@Brackeys]

Hey everyone! In case you were early on this video and were wondering where the link for the VGAME tutorial was, please find it here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5qzcmuOlLuFa5Y Also, apparently "Feed a Hole" borrows a lot from previous games like Donut County. I didn't know these games before but I can definitely see that - Our mistake for not catching that though! I will ask you all not to blame the author, there is nothing wrong with copying other games in a game jam :D It's just about having fun and sometimes you just want to try your best at re-creating something you like! Stay awesome!

[@Doppel_A]

Sure thing, its about testing yourself, but then it shouldnt be in this video for the idea!

[@TheAndreadbx]

Well, @brackeys its the second time in a row that you leave out one of my entries, despite getting great results in rankings, this time with 2nd Place in graphics and audio, dunno what to think, its your choice of course, but still, the selection process of those games its pretty unclear...

[@carmeloventimiglia8649]

[@johnmorrell3187]

I thought that was really impressive how they faked the black hole optical effects so well. It was really just doing a sort of reflection which isn't too hard computationally, but it captured exactly the feel of light bending around from behind the black hole despite not actually doing it at all. At first when I realized that I was kind of disappointed but honestly I'm super impressed now at how they got the feel so good without requiring crazy raytracing and intense simulations (at least I assume they didn't ray trace...).

[@benjoe1993]

My dude copies award winning game Donut County and gets displayed in a game-jam best-of for its design...try getting away with murder next time, with this luck you can.

[@studioroberts]

Yeah what the heck. Not even a mention of Donut County. I'm fine with this cloning for a little game jam but don't pretend like the dude came up with the idea.

[@mrmoinn]

It was pretty poorly executed too. you could see in the video that the circle just bumped up in size all of a sudden and it didn't seem that fun because the area was small and without many objects. I don't want to spread negativity towards the creator of it as I probably could not have done much better myself and I haven't actually seen the other games but I feel like someone else may have deserved a spotlight more than he did. that being said I can kind of see this from Brackeys' (idk his name lol) point of view because he might have wanted to get many approaches to the theme in his video and may not have known that this game was just a poorly made clone.

[@Brackeys]

Ah, didn't even know that game existed :) I can see how it borrows a lot - Our mistake for not catching that though! Don't blame the author, nothing wrong with copying other games in a game jam :D

[@mesebasterisk]

I like how the first game Brackeys showed was a copy of Donut County, imagine making a ripoff of a good indie game without anything else except the hole, no story, no characters, just hole, 10/10 would hole again.

[@WolfiePH]

I mean, donut county is basically just [tasty planet] minus the cute hungry blob boi.

[@WolfiePH]

And tasy planet is basically [Pacman]. So you be the judge about how "innovative" these games are.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with making a clone at a Game Jam. It's a Game Jam. Being original and innovative is not a prerequisite. However, when reviewing said games, it should be acknowledged when a submission is original or not. Obviously.

The main reason for the game jam - give brackeys pun practice

[@renatocann5142]

Great stuff and nice to see pre-made assets are allowed, but IMHO for future jams it would be nice to see 2 separate categories: 1) unique games made from scratch just for the jam and 2) games made using pre-made assets, asset packs, clones of existing games, games made by closely following tutorials etc. and showcase them separately. Otherwise this is awesome and this channel is a gold mine, keep up the great work!

[@Anatiks69]

The shaders and graphics of obliterator are so freaking cool. I would love to play a game like that but then with more content. Or I would LOVE to learn how to make a game like that. I don’t know it’s just so cool to me. (If anyone knows a game that looks like that please comment it down below, also if you know a video explaining how to make a game that looks like that game please also comment it)

[@AlecAndersonZx]

I asked the guy who made it about his shader for the lightning effect. He said there's sort of a "glass-like bubble" around the asteroids that reflect the light in the way that you see in the gameplay. Apparently his older brother is an astrophysicist and he helped design a lot of the gravity simulation and probably some of the art direction too

[@connieunderwager556]

I really wanted to do this Gam Jam, but I don't know how to code. My idea for this was you are an investor searching for someone who went missing in the woods for years. In the forest, however, there are holes inside every tree. And there's an invisible monster in the woods with you. But the only way to see it is by looking through the holes, because the holes look into a different dimension where you do see him. At the end of the game, you find a house with a hole that is human-sized. You jump inside and confront the monster, only to be chased into the area where she was kidnapped and you die. Let me know if you think this is a good idea.
