Four Godot Developers Jam Off the Same Art Pack (w/ PlugWorld, Picster, and Artindi)

[@vickylance]

damn the controls in Franz fury was amazing hope it becomes a real game some day. He had really good experience in shaders. I dont even know how to write a single line in shader

[@jmbiv_dev]

It is becoming a real game! Picster just released a demo for the Steam Next festival - you can check it out here: store.steampowered.com/app/1513960/FRANZ_FURY/

[@vickylance]

@@jmbiv_dev Damn nice that was such a unique and fun gameplay mechanics

[@f0kes32]

Franz Fury is INCREDIBLE

[@jmbiv_dev]

Yes it is! And Picster is turning it into a full game - make sure you wishlist it on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/1513960/FRANZ_FURY/

[@Artindi]

This game jam was super fun and really helped me learn a lot, I'm glad I was invited! :D Thank you so much!

[@jmbiv_dev]

So glad you could be a part of it man! I really enjoyed getting to work with you 🤘

[@KrystofKlestil1337]

Incredible quality of every single game. Really surprised by the polish you all out inro the games.

[@jmbiv_dev]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words!

[@jfurmann]

Wow the quality of those games is just incredible. Hope you'll be able to make others (or even an open game jam ? I would love that)

[@jmbiv_dev]

Seriously! I was really impressed with what everyone came up with. But definitely, that's the hope! I'd love to do an open game jam eventually - I had brought it up briefly in the Discord and there was some positive response, so it's definitely in the plans for the future at some point.

[@unfa00]

I think the fact that one-man teams made these games in 48 hours (or less) only given a monochromatic sprite sheet is a great testament to how well Godot is designed - you can be so efficient with it! Amazing work everyone, this has been very inspiring. I'm looking forward to future editions of this :)

[@jmbiv_dev]

That's definitely true! It's a great engine 🙂 so glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!

[@patatopeeler3005]

Ye Godot is a good engine, but making these games this fast wasn't because Godot is good, it's because the devs are really skilled

[@unfa00]

@@patatopeeler3005 Of course the engine is not going to do the work for them. Maybe my comment sounded like I don't attribute enough credit to the game developers here. I wanted to say that the tool was able to keep up with them. And you don't want to fight your tools when on a strict time limit.

Miziziziz is all good, but god damn the games you guys made were so much more polished and juicy! Please make more videos with this format!

[@jmbiv_dev]

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the games! More are hopefully on the way before too long 🙂

[@fikus7879]

I think the Gunner Guy could have a fog/darkness effect, where the further away from the player it is, the darker it is. It makes it easier to see walls and passages. But the fact that all the games were made in 2 day is mind blowing. Good job everyone

[@lilamasand5425]

I'm a Godot beginner and this was so incredible to watch!! Every single one of these games impressed me, what talented devs. It's helpful to be reminded that you don't have to use all or even mostly original assets to make a great game; I often get caught up thinking about how I'm not a visual artist at all, and therefore I won't be able to make something original and unique. Clearly not true. Thanks for making this!

[@diogoduarte4097]

The Gunner Guy game is basically "I kept lowering the graphic quality until it started to look good". That's great.

[@tanner.w.2392]

this is what I call quality content, loved watching the jam off and seeing how professionals go at it when making a game.

[@jmbiv_dev]

thanks for the kind words! glad you enjoyed the video - definitely give a sub to the other three devs!

[@Potato-pq5ez]

Wow! To think that entire games come out of game jams and develop into full on projects astounds me, I saw Franz Fury on steam before even seeing this video, and I've seen things like Terra Nil do similar things. Incredible.

[@jmbiv_dev]

Seriously, isn't it crazy? I think any of our games could've become their own projects, but I think Franz is the only one actually in development. Super cool to see though and always inspires me when I see other people pushing forward with jam projects!

[@Potato-pq5ez]

@@jmbiv_dev Jams seem to be a great way to drum up ideas for projects. I mean, usually people end up being attached to project, even mediocre at times, without thinking about alternatives. Jams happen so frequently that you're *forced* to come up with new ideas for almost each jam and *also* test them out. This process aught to be the ideal one for testing new ideas and games, a trial by fire approach.

[@ZachA-T]

Wow! All four games were great! All four channels are amazing! If I could subscribe twice, I would do so for every single one! Greta work!

[@jmbiv_dev]

Thanks so much for the support! I (and I'm sure I can speak for the others) greatly appreciate it.

[@Gatitasecsii]

This picster guy is a genius. Hope the other participants don't feel bad about it but this guy has an enormous amount of talent.

[@TheCuteKyuubi]

VolaTile seems like a great concept, but one thing I think would make it better is pushing blocks around, rather than breaking them, and pushing a block that has a block behind it would push them in a caterpillar type line

[@nemesisurvivorleon]

I love Miziziziz's videos like that... thanks for making your own!

[@jmbiv_dev]

Thanks, glad you liked it! Miz does such a good job with his - I just wanted to use that format to highlight people in the Godot community.

[@TheBlackSkimmer]

I love this video. I wouldn't mind seeing more. It's so cool to see how creative everyone is with such a limited art set.

[@jmbiv_dev]

Thanks for the kind words! Agreed - it was really cool seeing what everyone else came up with. Hopefully more of these collabs will be coming soon!

[@3kkousedflash246]

these are insane giving me so much inspiration with how simple yet effective both art in some and mechanics in others are absolutely incredible

[@jeepsyk7289]

It's really interesting how despite being very different, all games were fun and enjoyable. Especially the last one, seemingly the simplest yet challenging, prompted everyone to finish it. Well done!

[@jmbiv_dev]

Definitely! Super cool to see how creative everyone is.

[@abvoltbolt]

The style of the first game reminds me of "in space no one can hear you scream" or "devil daggers"

[@CristalCorp]

Man, I've been watching a lot of this kind of videos lately (as an aspiring game dev) but you guys ! you are so talented (hard workers) ! Great work ! It really motivates me to get better and soon join the game jam :) GG well played

[@its_saval]

PlugWorld? is he the one that makes the "wave shooter" tutorials? his game looks awesome, 3d game with 2d assets reminds me of old "doom" games

[@jmbiv_dev]

Yea, that's him! He makes really good stuff - he's got a multiplayer top-down shooter tutorial coming out now that's also worth checking out. And same for Raffa and Artindi if you haven't looked at their stuff, too 🙂

[@milesparker557]

I love these challenges for godot developers. It really helps us who are trying to make games using godot to see what the possibilities are and to get inspired. Also, i like how most of these are in 2d. Godot probably encourages that. Unlike with something like unity where everyone just does 3d all the time. Nothing against that, but as someone who's mostly interested in 2d this is awesome.

[@jmbiv_dev]

Same! Godot has some amazing creators in the community, and I really love making these videos to help showcase them. Glad that you also enjoy it! I'm working on a second video in this series, and that one will also include some 3D games, so hopefully it's nice to see the full range of what Godot can do.

[@nkusters]

Franz Fury looked awesome. Wished it was open sourced as there were so many things in there that I’d love to sell with and learn from.

Fml, Franz Fury looks like a game some one spent months on. He surly had to of had pre-made systems in place before hand, drag a drop stuff to quicken up the process.

I really like that effect, but I see how it could get annoying haha. Probably a good thing to add a toggle for in your own game.

[@Trashloot]

@@jmbiv_dev Yeah i usually turn everything off that could negatively impact my aim when playing a shooter xD. Doesn't matter if it is single player. My Quake/Unreal/Counterstrike Brain wants to perform even in story games like Deus Ex. If there is a head bob, lean, motion blur, ... i will always turn it off xD.

What’s with you recording your gameplay at less than 60 FPS? lol

[@jmbiv_dev]

Haha yea, sorry about that! I didn't realize until later that it was all at 30fps - also, I did it on my MacBook, so sometimes 30fps is all I can do 😅

[@sosasees]

* Can only use art from a specific asset pack * Other non-art assets are fair game You were accidentally implying that anything non-visual isn't art. music, sounds, level design, controls, game feel and anything else in a game is also art (that collectively makes up even greater art in the form of the entire videogame).

[@jmbiv_dev]

You're right that everything that comes together in a game is art in itself. I'm not sure that my words implied that, though - I think people generally understand art in the way I used it to refer to graphics in particular, rather than anything that is an art or makes up art (even of the non-visual kind). You make a good point though!

[@AlacritousDisparater]

jmbiv get a better computer

[@jmbiv_dev]

If you’ll help me pay for it! 😎

[@solsticeprojekt1937]

The one thing I notice in all these videos is that no one is ever truly honest. Everything's good, rosy, happy. Occasionally there's complaints, but the amount of rose colouring is quite annoying. Hell, there is nothing *awesome* about the game world in the running game. It looks good, better than decent, but the word "awesome" has a definition that does not match. Forcing this constant positivity onto people sucks ass. Thank you. That being said and ignoring the people pretending to judge them ... all of these games seem to be enjoyable, which is great.

[@jmbiv_dev]

I get what you’re saying but not sure I totally understand the degree of reaction. The purpose of these jams is to have a creative outlet to make games with friends and celebrate the work that others are able to do - work that is especially impressive within the given time frame. These aren’t AAA game releases, and of course they won’t be perfect, but intentionally trying to critique all of their flaws isn’t really a helpful exercise since they were made in such a short period of time. So maybe it is true that subjectively none of these games are “awesome” to either you or some others playing them, but us describing a game as “awesome” isn’t saying it’s in the top 1% of games. It’s just a means of appreciating the creativity and hard work that went into making a unique and fun game in 48 hours. It isn't forced positivity to recognize or appreciate that, even if a game didn’t turn out that well. And besides, we all do share some helpful critiques of each other's games, it just isn’t a primary focus. Anyway, maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment, but I think you're seeing dishonestly forcing things to be “rosy,” when in reality appreciating and celebrating the work of others isn’t forced positivity, but rather the whole point of jams like these.

[@solsticeprojekt1937]

Okay. I'll think about it.

[@garrettbrax]

Maybe a weird thing to notice, but I just love how positively everyone spoke while playing each other's games. Constant compliments about what they did well, mentioning each aspect they liked and why, as well as providing actionable constructive criticism without talking down to them, just good vibes all around.

[@FTWSamFisher]

All 4 games where incredible, the FPS looked fun, the driving game looks chaotic, the ball game simple but rewarding, and the racing game goofy but fun. 10/10 video

[@8thinput80]

A cool twist on this concept would be to take a retro game and only use the sprites and sound from that.

[@jmbiv_dev]

That would be cool! You'd have to find a game where all of those assets are both available and open-source/not under a license that would make it hard to create a derivative work.

With volatile, dunno if its alrd there but what if the player can have smth like a bullet time ability where everything slowmo's but the player is a little bit faster than the ball to have more control over the ball.

really should cut down on the length of the reaction section. I ended up skipping them, they should be at the end of the video in a shorter form. It's not the interesting part of the challenge

[@jmbiv_dev]

Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate it and will keep it in mind for future videos. Definitely agree that the reaction videos could be shorter. I have heard from many people that they like the reaction videos next to the development of the game itself, so not sure if I'd change that. Either way, hope that adding chapters made it easy to skip 🙂 thanks again for the feedback and for watching!
