Making a VIRUS for a Game Jam (and almost winning)

Play the game: deynum.itch.io...
This video is all about how me and ‪@LazyTeaStudios‬ made a game for the 14th pirate software game jam called D. A-V. E.
Huge shoutout to ‪@PirateSoftware‬ for both hosting the jam and liking our game

Play the game here: deynum.itch.io/dave

[@DaGonkman]

Cool game.

[@UnrealCatDev]

yeah, I always wanted to get a virus

[@Azul_spites]

When I played the web version on chrome. I could shoot and move but Dave stays stuck blocking everything

[@JustMeAlex_0]

hey, I have a question how did u guys combine your codes?

[@UnrealCatDev]

@@JustMeAlex_0 github probably

[@craz2580]

I'd like to imagine antiviruses actually being gnomes inside pcs that deal with giant robotic virus looking enemies

[@spikeeyee]

Giant robotic spiders

[@Blue_axolotl440]

⁠@@spikeeyeeuhm WHY did we think of the SAME thing

[@spikeeyee]

@@Blue_axolotl440 yeahhh boiii

[@TheRealMangoDev]

haha gnomes.. GNOMEs…

I had a great time working with you Deynum! What do we think of D.A-V.E?!?

[@ALifeOfFrost]

It’s good.

[@ClammyGuy]

very sick game, love it

dose the acronym mean "de anti-virus ever"

@@ClammyGuy Thanks!! Glad you like it!

[@m4rt_]

... I thought you were actually going to make a virus and hide it as a game.

[@The_Starbird]

Lol

[@rafi-leigh]

Same

[@morekiemadness222]

Same lol

[@zettaflareig]

No, that was sonic gather battle

[@Twisted_Code]

...Yeah... I was hoping the title would be slightly less misleading. I think I'd be a lot more interested in somehow pulling off a real (well, real but not malicious) virus as a "game" than I'd be in yet-another-meta-game. I still might watch this at some point because I like hearing people's gamejam stories, but I'm not interested enough right now

[@TandeMonacle]

I think it’s kind of funny the desktop has a beautiful photo labelled wallpaper despite the background being a void

[@gargamel3478]

It's be more interesting, if the "viruses" were the real antivirus, and Dave was the virus. I'd love to see a HEXAGE-styled game ending screen where Dave says something like "Thank you for letting me destroy your PC".

[@Deynum]

well..... uhm.... you should definitely NOT play the game *wink *wink

[@belot217]

Now that is a name I have not heard in a long time. A long time.

[@NuevaBestia]

Crazy how you infected all those machines and got disqualified from 1st place only after the judges realized your game is actually malware

[@jikill7586]

a login screen would've been so perfect for a game like this. i remember having some windows 7 computer or whatever and it had that flower wallpaper. it would've been a perfect place to make a username and also have their password be used in virus speech

[@roarrayo]

OH SH*T, I remember your game!! I was also a competitor for the PirateSoftware game jam! Our game was Green Top, don't know if you ever saw it while checking random. Great stuff, keep it up! :D

[@instagalactix]

This video is awesome gotta go watch lazys now, CONGRATS ON TOP 10 THATS HUGE!!

[@Simon-is2xd]

I love the idea of every file being clickable. If I would make this I would’ve made it a puzzle/stress management game where you had to look in different files for passwords and text and stuff to fend off the virus. I love the idea of the virus being in every file and you having to panic to defend your files

[@NutellaRLZ]

This blew me away with how cool yet simple it was. I was loving the development story along with the actually interesting gameplay concept. It's such an overused cliche, but it works so well. Bravo

[@Banana_Fusion]

Amazing vibe to the game Very cool conclusion with the top 10 and PirateSoftware playing it etc. 🎉

[@jishan6992]

This project really showcased how creative and through you are, that was actually amazing how you made it feel like a desktop. Its always the little details that count and you've done them to perfection

[@SpammingY]

Words cannot express the level of anxiety and rage the shooting enemies have put me through, and I began to hate the page itself for making me select the game screen if I clicked too fast or having buttons that overlap the screen with either no or a hidden full-screen option... but cool game and concept. I did like making D.A.V.E. angry by selecting the wrong options, nice touch, and I ended up hearing every failure dialogue since I died so many times. Maybe it's actually not that hard and I'm just bad at that style of game. But all those times a storm of bullets were sent at me from seemingly nowhere... yeah, this was the first game in a very long time I've rage quit. Wish I could've seen the ending...

[@dennismakesgames]

The effort you put into the start and the menu is inspiring, it made me feel good about spending time on it myself. Awesome video :)

[@phantomking5341]

Game would be 10x better if it actually gave you a non- dangerous virus that could just do things that are ever so slightly annoying and easy to get rid of

[@shockthetoast]

It's a funny idea but there are so many reasons it would be a terrible idea to implement. Anything that acts like an actual virus at all is going to get detected by actual AV, and then removed from the game jam. Plus it's way too easy for a "non-dangerous" virus to actually break something.

[@phantomking5341]

@@shockthetoast well that's no fun (jk it's quite understandable)

[@thecoolestofthe834s2]

yeah because id see that as great lets sue someone for money reasons

[@thee2121]

Nice video, and good job on all the cutscenes, they really sold the game

[@sebrahimcloser]

Wow, man i remember watching you when you had less than 3k subs. Congrats on the growth and the videos are so much better! Well deserved.

[@gugomajo4161]

The editing feels really nice and the game came out amazing!

[@adamixziober]

[@that_Random_Cake]

Surprisingly clean for a game jam. (EDIT: 101 likes. )😭

[@jesscodes]

The attention to detail is amazing, looks awesome!

[@Gambit-YT]

wow, I had no idea this was your game! I happened to have a similar look to my game, i LOVE a CRT looking affect

[@jakko_]

Congrats to you and Lazy for getting in the top ten! Looks like a really fun game!

[@_WalkTheEarth_]

I played this for the first time and i have one comment, in the boss fight, by aligning yourself half decently where the boss is off screen, but when shot you can see the sparks, you can weaken it without any enimies attacking. This was a really good game. thank you.

[@AttackPlays000]

I like it how Dave reacts when I don’t let him destroy the virus

[@КириллЛескин-к1ж]

Plot twist: DAVE is a virus making you destroy your computer yourself

[@forestria_gaming]

The responses that DAVE gives if you press 'no' too many times are hilarious! Good job!

[@Skeffles]

Congratulations on getting in the top 10. The game looks neat!

[@dawsonlied]

Omg I have been developing a game where you fight a computer virus for a couple months now. You beat me to it 😭 yours looks great btw good job! Loved the video

[@Ju5tJeff]

Just discovered this channel and I love it. Keep it up dude!

[@sandrinecestmoi892]

Hey it's the guy that made break a leg

[@herodoesstuff]

dude, congrats!! i cant imagine how cool that is! game looks rly interesting, and u rly nailed the vibe/art style

[@Deynum]

sorry lol, every other time I had to show a white screen I added a fade, but I guess I forgot that time Will do better next video

DEYNUM DAY!

d day

[@Tsea200]

A truly great with a truly great narrative and solid gameplay. It must have had some amazing play testers 👀

[@oxintoma32dev]

Bro the game looks so cool, that style is so refreshing It would be so cool if you made this a full game someday

[@chalkeater1427]

The game was a lot of fun to play, but I discovered that in the boss fight, I could shoot one of the orbital squares, position myself right up against the core, and shoot it constantly while letting the remaining orbital squares deflect most of the red projectiles.

[@reecepascoe9564]

I thought the video and game were pretty neat. Id say, after knowing all the work you put into the screens actually showing art and being clickable though, there was not a lot of time to play around on the desktop before the virus took over. I expected that to be more subtle and not such a sudden takeover. Also I spent way too long watching the end scene thinking eventually it would end lol. All in all very impressive work!

[@Onie-lf1ct]

you really make the topics come alive, thanks for your passion!

[@aaab_1637]

The game turned out great in my opinion! The art of the game, the small details, and especially the sound! Make this game super fun and good

[@Murple57]

i rate the game dave/10

[@zacharynguyen7286]

Incredible video and game, please continue to make more ❤

[@kingkurtis]

You said genuinely enough times that I genuinely can't trust that you are genuine.

[@name-equals-theLucidLibrarian]

When I saw the channel logo, my brain immediately went to: "WHAT THE FUCK SAM HOGAN IS BACK???"

[@FortniteJoe123]

Desktop Dave strikes again

[@Pasianax]

I genuinely want the desktop style as a style I could actually use for my own computer

[@dusty_studio]

Finally a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!

[@RedLuigiE]

"So it looks like a REALLY old computer. Like SUPER old." Literally my PC:

[@eloqi]

That's a really good intro.

[@RicoGalassi]

For 2 weeks, this game looks awesome! Would be awesome to make the player actually solve puzzles or "debug" the viruses, but I like to top down shooter too!

[@AnEmptyInkwell]

And when the world needed him most, he disappeared...

[@RobertWatts1]

I Played it for a while, and I really like it! There was a problem when I died, and got spawned past a barrier, I could clear the area but none of the barriers opened.

genuinely saw the profile picture, thought this was sam hogan and clicked on. it wasn’t sam hogan, but i wasn’t disappointed. amazing video

[@YoushouldntSeethis]

"corperate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures" dave saitama "they're the same photo

[@Benw8888]

The title made me think you actually made a virus, not just a virus-themed game. Clickbait :(

[@sethhollistah8504]

needed friendly "computer bits" that the enemies attack as well and also take damage from your bullets and generally get destroyed in the chaos of fighting the virus, then needed a scoreboard with a timer for how fast the virus was stopped but also how much damage the computer received

[@SqueezeboxOfDelights]

Oh my god my phone is charging from my laptop and it turned itself on a few seconds into the video; and the popup window to access my phone's files almost gave me a heart attack lmao

[@Sparkette]

"eggOS" sounds like an operating system created by Dr. Robotnik

[@Btatavada]

Bro gave the most important and hard task to the guy named lazy

[@tobytragen4363]

Omg I did this for the trijam using Godot for the 1st time the other year!

[@tobytragen4363]

Don't play it though it's basically a browser crasher 😅

[@YourEpicLookingDuck]

I thought this was Sam Hogan and i unironically freaked out

[@BurgerSoda]

So it’s basically just… “there is no game”

[@orcaolivegames]

There was a short PirateSoftware did where he talked about someone trying to give him a virus during a game jam, and I thought this was it

[@SharpPython]

Dude this video is great but to be honest I thought Sam Hoges uploaded!

Nice work to both of you!

I like the color palette; it reminds me of a VFD.

[@CodexVRBL]

My first instinct was to upset D.A-V.E. And he goes fucking insane if you keep saying no 😂

[@Axo3773]

Shit this is good.

[@DiverseInBits]

POV: you clicked because you thought he’d make a actual virus for the gamejam

[@syloanimates]

I saw ur pfp and immediately thought u were sam hogan, but you're just a.... reincarnation of sam hogan (thats a compliment)
