5 Game Developers, 1 Game, Total Mayhem | Pass The Project Collab Challenge

[@DanPos]

Check out this collab i took part in during the GMTK Game Jam 2023 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp-bi5KqfsaMqs0

[@GTexperience_Channel]

Hey @DanPos why don't u let 5 indie devs develop their own variant of a certain game mechanic instead of an entire game. For example a research tree. let each dev make their own creative research tree. Other concept options could be: health bars, turn based, Procedural generation, enemy ai, etc.

[@keithg460]

I love how Tarodev adds a week's worth of development to every jam pass-along he is involved in.

[@OctaneStreet]

TaroDev killed it! Love that Sam added a ragdoll character to the back of the cart as well haha.

[@DanPos]

Haha yeah the ragdoll was my favourite part!

[@Pinkstarclan]

I really appreciate seeing a pass-the-game challenge that doesn't take the "kill enemies, enemies are killing you" route, more creative obstacles & victory conditions here. I'd keep the timer personally, but a way to increase the time would help yes. Little ragdoll dude was a galaxy brain idea.

[@GamesBySaul]

Dan thanks so much for inviting me! I didn't think I'd have this much fun and the video was just amazing! (Reaction)

[@DanPos]

Thanks Thomas!

The ragdoll thing makes it look like the cart is possessed and acting on its own

[@samyam]

Thanks for inviting me I had a great time!! Game turned out super cool 😎

[@DanPos]

Yeah for sure! I'm looking forward to make a few gameplay tweaks and giving it just that little more polish we didnt have time for

As the final person you ruined this project ngl

[@mesekara3471]

Its just awesome, after watching this video I understand that my team's real problem is not communication XD

[@DanPos]

haha glad you like it

[@der.Schtefan]

I find it quite funny that the beans can overwhelm you unless you invested in the abilities!

[@DanPos]

It is quite funny but also a little frustrating haha! I need to patch it up still a little I think.

[@AIAdev]

What an interesting game you guys made! I know @tarodev thinks the tire noises he added are annoying but I actually quite like them! Someone invited me to do a "pass it along" project but only me and another dev ever successfully worked on it. The rest of the people dropped out. Glad to see it's possible lol

[@DanPos]

Yeah I think the tire sounds add a lot to it :)

[@Tarodev]

Yeah, I thought they were pretty fun :)

[@yazzindev]

Hey AIA! What a coincedence! xD

[@TheShelfman]

When Tarodev gooes afk made me laugh out loud😂 Also, Saul saying that the beans had health was the first time I realized this. I did not know this at all😂 Thank you so much for inviting me to this! I had a ton of fun😁

[@DanPos]

Haha glad you enjoyed it! And yeah if you pick up enough speed you could kill the beans, this was something I added right at the last point before handing it off to you

[@operator8014]

Instead of infinite bean cans wrecking the performance, they should merge into each other to produce bigger faster tougher cans of beans.

[@portiac6097]

@@operator8014 super beans

[@PolycatGames]

This turned out great! The overall lighting also looked pretty good actually, and I love that samyam added a ragdoll to the game. Well done :)

[@SilverlyBee]

This looks great! For something made by multiple people with no communicating it's awesome!

[@DanPos]

Thanks :D glad you liked it!

[@JamesMakesGamesYT]

Organised chaos! 😄Brilliant idea for a challenge! Everyone got to bring their own skills and unique approaches to one game. Keep up the good work, Dan!

[@DanPos]

Cheers James! Yeah it was a fun little project that's for sure :D

[@RobLang]

This is wonderful! What a superb idea. I'll have a gander at the source code for learning. Also found some new devs to follow!

[@DanPos]

Thanks a bunch Rob - glad you enjoyed it!

[@strawberryketchup]

Things that would improve the game: 1. More food items to sell: Pizza (5) Watermelon (10) Apples (1) Turkey-Leg (5) Pie (15) Muffins (5) (?) = Cost price Banana = (5) Bread = (10) Water = (5) Toilet Roll = (25) 2. Power Up Boosts: War Wheels = $200 = Go 2x faster and with more power Leap = $100 = Press Q to jump up high ( Change Bean Blast to $50 ) Spillage Sucker = $50 = Spillages will disappear when near you 3. You have 5 minutes to complete a shopping list. With a maximum cost of $250 total. 4. The more expensive an item, the rarer it is 5. You deposit items to a truck, and at the end, if you win, you'll see the truck drive off into a street of houses, with a scary red sky and beans rolling about. The lore is that beans are angry and want to be eaten, and so crawl about, trying to be sold and consumed! 6. If you lose, you see beans break through the garage door, attacking the player and spilling beans all over the place. 7. 10% of beans open when in sight of player, making a puddle of beans that can cause the cart to slip. It lasts 1 minute.

[@kootabab8269]

Instead of getting stuck, getting overwhelmed should be a lose condition

[@andygeers]

I love this video format, and am so impressed by how far you all managed to get in so few iterations. I love how those first four hours create something so simple but which then fires everybody else's imaginations. Well done everyone!

[@DanPos]

Thanks, it was a lot of fun working on this for sure!

[@daglizzyguy6429]

The first actually interesting video I have seen today. Thanks!

[@DanPos]

High praise, thank you!

[@Rotaka]

This is super cool! I’ve never seen anything like this before, and the game looks awesome ! Great job you guys😄

[@DanPos]

Thanks!

[@ProjectYummy]

This was really fun to watch! would love for this to be a regular series!

[@DanPos]

Thanks - it was really good fun to make!

[@AlexBlackfrost]

That was really fun to watch lol. Congrats to everyone!

[@DanPos]

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it :D

[@rogercls]

Honestly, getting overwhelmed by beans and just being unable to move is very nice and adds to the game, as long as it is a fail state.

[@coldfries8976]

This is WAY to entertaining, i hope we see this becoming a series!

[@gidi1899]

when surrounded by been cans, the next been can to join the circle should jump to the cart. full cart = no been attack & no space to load the good stuff

[@Skeffles]

Fantastic to see what you can make together and what each of you contributed to this game!

[@DanPos]

Thanks Skeffles!

[@bholmesdev]

When I saw the beans pile up I immediately thought of Need for Speed cop chases. Would've been hilarious as an "outrun the beans" mechanic 😅 Well done! Great concept

[@IcyLucario]

Samyam really channeled the energy of "I Made A Game With Zombies In It!" and I love that.

[@jamienorman7940]

this ended up being much more creative than blackthornprod game dev collab games!! This is such and fun concept!

[@AZaqZaqProduction]

One way to make the game better would be to make the shopping cart make car engine noises. I think that would enhance the experience quite a lot.

[@24-Com]

I'm amazed at how epic this collab is! Would love to see one of these every week or month. Tarodev tutorials have really helped me solve some obstacles and get in the game.

[@astrangerontheinternet6901]

when I'm in a super market the only enemies i see are other shoppers

[@bamers404]

lmao, so true. well, this could be a new idea for this game, a multiplayer one shopping

[@denysroodriguez]

Thank you Chris. I really appreciate it and that was exactly what I was trying to do. No fuss and helping people get on with what they need

[@cprn.]

It amazes me every time how the final product differs from the starting project. Honestly, that game? Better than 90% of what's available on mobile. My favourite one is the super hero, though.

[@thesky2944]

That was an amazing video and I feel like I can actually get started using soft soft. Thank you so much!

[@ewaldlatreider5127]

The beans are a misunderstood monster, they just want to hug the cart 😢

[@heitthanderson3708]

Alternatively, they are begging the cart to be let in and be sold because they have been stuck in the store for too long, they became mindless "zombies". Alternatively, the cans are stopping the cart from selling their friends the banana, water bottle and loaf of bread.

[@bamers404]

@@heitthanderson3708 good lore ideas

[@osirisgamess]

it's incredible how 5 game devs came make that looks this good with zero communication. well done.

[@Memiewon]

it worked! thank you so much!!

[@Ethorbit]

I'd make it so the shopping cart person blinks red on hurt and when they die, the cart just continues moving forward as the camera is focused on where the ragdoll was and the screen fades out while you are returned to the main menu. Might add this in just for the Unity experience (never used it before, only Unreal) You guys should do something like this again, it was very entertaining.

[@ZoltmanG]

Great concept. Maybe do two rounds of Dev edits to make the game more complete.

[@5uspicious_Person]

I think what made the game the way it is, is that none of the devs knew what game they were working with, so they couldn’t expand on it a lot. If there was a rule where you were allowed to give one sentence to the next person, I think it’s guaranteed this game could’ve become a pretty good wave defense game or something.

[@АртёмИванов-с4ы2ц]

A friend of mine has recommended me this tutorial. And i couldn't' be more happier

[@ancientromechronicles]

Amazing concept loved the video!

[@TBH_Inc]

I’d love to see more pass the project videos! Maybe encourage people to make changes/improvements to existing code instead of just adding some new things so the different parts can become more fleshed out and polished.

[@RubberTag]

Love these pass the game jams! Maybe have every developer work on it twice? Maybe it would be more of a finished game and you could add it on steam or something:D

[@fitzfizzy]

These are so cool you gotta make more of these.

[@Regrettable-Username]

Bro, imagine if he swapped the beans out for the TP. The poor financial decisions of lockdown comes back to haunt/attack you.

[@iceman10129]

I still think the best idea would be for it to go around the loop twice. That way those that worked on it would get to see where it was at during their next pass.

[@Baleur]

9:00 my dude loves showing his nailpolish in frame

[@Anerisian]

Amazing, should go around 2 times, or with more people.

[@DanPos]

[@comunicacionsocial5116]

thanks man!

[@Pugman1078]

Seeing game devs work on their games is the most satisfying thing in the world for me

[@muhammedmuha4846]

Add health for the shopping cart and new abilitys to fens off the BEANS. Like a baby shooter a baby on the baby seat that shots the brans with a gun. And maybe some upgrades like shooting speed and stuff like that....take insperation from horde hunter. And an ability where you throw Grenada around the cart and you can upgrade it like additional projectile's and damage speed ect. Ill one hundred% love to play the game like that

[@DanPos]

Hahah fingers crossed!

[@DiogoCardosoo]

Only thing I would change is give the end condition of being stopped for a few seconds! (Think of being arrested on NFS but by... Beans). It would give the Beans programming sense. 😄

[@studdly232]

You guys should continue the rotation but make the rules you have to carry on your original design from the first edit and timed. So you have say 5 hours to get it edit it and pass it on . Then do like 3 rounds to update and polish your ideas in it.

[@1watchall]

15:29 that genuine reaction lol

[@morgan0]

i wonder if doing this but passing the project around 2 or 3 times would work better. the first time everyone adds some features to it, the second and third time around people are a bit more aware of what it’s about and add polish and fix bugs. would also be neat to have each person start on something different, like one person starts models and art (or separate), another starts sound, another starts the game, etc. could end up with like forest sounds, pixel art, and shopping game that get combined in some way. or if models and art were separate, needing to put idk building textures onto models of people. i think it could lead to some unexpected results

[@klaus117gaming]

Thought someone was going to attach a machine gun to the shopping cart… I mean what could possibly go wrong besides the mass murder of innocent beans

I thought it was a multiplayer game from the thumbnail. It was awesome nonetheless but i think it'd be even better if you make it multiplayer where all the players try to fight and block each other from gaining points all while all of them are getting attacked by the "Beans". Not to mention the gang beast like ragdoll ;⁠)

Tarodev the GOAT

[@leifhim]

Would love to see a version where it's this but the game continues to be passed around, so its the same people and once it gets to the last person it goes right back to the first guy! Would make for a more polished game and give devs the chance to implement the stuff they wanted or add more things

[@DanPos]

It was only two of us but we did just that in one of my latest videos !

[@aaaap2701]

I think it would be a wonderful video if you did another round of this, but with the same game. So to start off, you Dan, would have 4 hours to change/improve/tweak the game, then you pass it on to the same next person, and so on and so forth until all 6 people had their turn with making changes.

I want to have a live avatar in the class that is responsive to my webcam movements. I also what to be able to play videos or click through slides and answer questions. Students should also be able to type questions and respond to each other while in class. Sorry about all the details. Thanks for advice.
