Finishing a Game is BORING! : JellyCar Worlds Devlog #8

[@enchanted_games]

Every dev log gets me more excited for this game!

[@bugologist2]

IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW! i was sting here thinking about games i played as a kind and really enjoyed and i remembered Jellcar and decided to google it. I DID NOT EXPECT THIS IM SO HAPPY!!!!!

[@rjamesstephens]

the original version of game was a HUGE part of my childhood. I cannot WAIT for this!

[@AtomicSuperMe]

just found out this is a thing and im shocked I haven't seen it sooner. The original 3 were a fun part of my childhood. It looks great and can't wait to play it

[@tuna3461]

I love watching these because it’s very obvious how much you care about making a game actually fun. Turned out great dude

[@AdamMady]

I completely agree! when you're about to finish the game all you have to do is fix bugs which can get boring and it can be annoying to look at the code after a while I would say sometimes I get really frustrated when working on a game because something isn't working and it can be really hard for me to just say "I'll take a break" because I wanna get it done and when I go off to do something else I usually spend a few hours just looking around on social media

Great to see another devlog! Quick comment about the Arabic translation, the name of the language is broken up (it should look like the other words on screen), and since Arabic is an RTL language, most UIs mirror along the Y axis for Arabic (which is what most Arabic users are used to). Great work, and keep it up!

[@tabletopstudios3550]

Yay! New jellycar devlog! The BEST game that could ever exist!

[@SolAvis1]

It’s very refreshing to see how much patience and effort you’ve put into this game. I can tell you really care about it and watching the process makes me so excited for the release :D

[@knaki2897]

Can’t wait and I still think about when you said early 2022

[@WalaberEntertainment]

Did I say that? Well, it’s good to have optimistic goals, right? 😅 The game has really benefited from the extra time tho!

[@Blarnix]

Dude, please take your time. We all know what happens to a rushed and panic-released game. The wait will be worth it.

[@cristofworld824]

I’ve played jelly truck on cool math game was my childhood. I’m so excited for this game.

[@Paruthi.618]

Time to finish game from 90% to 100% is more than the time take for 0 to 90% game

[@ZeynoArts]

I love the physics and how the soft bodies gave the game a very approachable feel, I hope this game will be a big success, all the best

[@Buzzy5600]

Great dev log walaber as always!

I bought the game and am playing through it right now (world 7 currently), I love the game but some feedback for the point in the powerups chapter in this video (1:06). I quite dislike the feature where you have to unlock abilities to use them in earlier levels. it appears to me like most secrets which aren't secret exits require those unlockable abilities, and what this feature does it disincentivizes me from properly exploring the levels on my first run through the world, because odds are I cannot interact with what I find anyway. for most worlds I rushed and only played enough levels to reach the world stop sign. if you wanted sections involving later powerups in earlier worlds, separate _challenges_ that only unlock later (and a little message with "new challenges are now available in earlier worlds!") would have been a better choice imo. enough criticism, I don't want to forget to mention that I absolutely love the game, it's endlessly charming, I love the customizability and the creativity in your level design! just wanted to give feedback on this point

[@AwfulAni]

looking great! appreciate all the work youve been doing the demo was super enjoyable

[@rcookman]

Really like the look of the game. Will probably get it when it comes out!!

[@WalaberEntertainment]

It's been out since December 2022 :D

[@jensonjames9718]

i cant wait for the demo

[@WalaberEntertainment]

The demo is available on steam now!

[@dopebossgamerz]

I will be playing this on steamdeck

[@Jadon.MacCormack]

Same here, this will be epic on steam deck!!

[@VyvyanTheGreat]

I’m in this boat right now. Finishing is tedious and boooring but I must push through

[@WalaberEntertainment]

Hang in there!

[@jonastimon9369]

wow, the physical flip book is really awesome! are you considering doing a giveaway/raffle or something similar during the promotion phase? :)

[@RynamonRoll]

I am so excited. These games were my favorite!! And it’s coming on the switch!!!!! Hell yeah!!!

[@kjhectec]

Im sad i didnt learn about this game until today, and it was only because i was looking for a jellycar 3 emulator

[@NinBendo1]

I have two notes and one piece of constructive criticism! 1: So glad it’s coming to Switch! 2: When the demo releases on Steam, I’ll let you know how it runs on Steam Deck! 3: The constructive criticism! You SHOULD use the rendered 3D art for the key art, but please make it brighter, it looks too dim in its current form! Add just that one change and I think it’ll be perfect - really looking forward to the game and I hope the release goes well for you!

[@TimBuhrs]

How did you handle the localisation? did you use any tools or plugins?

[@WalaberEntertainment]

I have my own scripts for that. I use a Google sheet exported as a CSV and then some scripts to replace each string with the localized text, and insert controller prompts etc

[@jacobdeleon9564]

Its ok, but you can still finish it and develop it even its boring but for me not boring

[@kl2633]

Can I have one of those flip books?

[@fourcornet9029]

Game out soon?
