6 Years ago I made a game called "Giraffe Run" on Scratch. I recently decided to remake this game in 3D, in the Godot game engine in just 1 week. Here's a summary of that fun adventure and the things I learned along the way.
GIraffe Run
Made with:
Blender,
Asperite,

I can heavily relate to having to listen to sounds on freesound. That website has a hidden price of having to listen to tens of low quality sounds, sounds that make you uncomfortable and sounds with this weird high pitched squeaking noise

Shoutout to the person who liked giraffes and onion rings, this was a wonderful origin story for this game

[@Nesisorator]

I played it and it crashed when I ate a onion ring at one health but I had fun as long as it lasted. Cool and cute project

[@user-jv9tq3px5m]

OK cool

This game gives me the vibes of an something obscure, yet fun that you’d find on something like the Wii Shop Channel for some reason. I love the art style. Also glad I’m not the only one who’s struggled with fire particles before lmao.

[@instentproductions3180]

I love your content man. Its the most real gamedev shit ive seen!

[@themanlihood]

Is he content?

I already fixed that since the start

[@SonicPlush-bc4ye]

i know this should be in the "Perfect Shit Game Gallery" which does not exist but i wish it did

[@8-bitaxolotl]

i always love seeing people who make great games and then seeing that they started on scratch like me

[@jakehubyt]

idk how u make game dev look so interesting lol, great vid

[@theothetorch8016]

I think these are the types of projects that are more fun to make than actually play x) I definitely think that's a nice way to chill out though! :)

[@Duton1]

Really appreciated the attitude towards learning and experimentation; it's very motivating to see as a newbie and I made sure to subscribe so I can see more content like that in the future. Thanks man!

[@RKIOrbMage]

I've been following you for a really long time but I haven't gotten around to commenting on any of your videos. Just wanted to say you're one of my favorite gamedevs on youtube, you content is top-notch. This video inspired me to maybe turn some of my scratch games into Godot projects!

[@FireJojoBoy]

Watching this was really motivating! The tecniques used were really cool and it's heartwarming to know how much fun you had with this project

[@aywerGameDev]

I love how so many devs that started in scratch are remaking their games in actuall game engines. Small thing but makes me happy ah :)

[@LakkzScratch]

We need a game engine that uses blocks like scratch but has more powerful features and can support 3D

[@TaxeAndStuff]

The mario music is well appreciated, and i like this style of editing on these game dev type videos! keep up the good work!

[@shindig9000]

So excited for a new video! Thank you, seeing you enjoyment of the process and experience is inspiring. 🙏

[@misosoup79]

This video is gold. Super entertaining, but also useful. The giraffe is adorable and his neck is hilarious! I'm going to have to take a closer look at tweens in Godot...

[@eboatwright_]

This is great! I also started game dev with Scratch, amazing tool for learning to program :D

[@dragongamerz5304]

I'm glad you had a good time making the game. A healthy dose of learning and fun without frustration.

[@kardrasa]

Ima need you to remake my life next in the Godot engine

[@upstrock]

you can feel just how much fun you were having while making this game dude!

[@simaopereira9416]

Amazing ! This is why i love gamedev so much

[@Slap257]

This was oddly fun to watch

Earned a sub, my man. I noticed it's been a couple of months since your last video. I hope you don't stop making them!

[@maple.kinpikmin]

thx for making your videos you made me to realize i can code to

[@amimirmimir512]

the artstyle of the new one is nostalgic

[@TheSpeedyBoi]

Glad that you're keeping your sanity and still having fun, very cool video!

[@KayGee_yt]

I love the animations 🤩 particularly the prance and the death

[@stickibug]

OMG this is such a good game idea!!! I love this so much! and the backstory is cute :) whomst among us doesnt love giraffes and onion rings

[@johnwebling5278]

Nice giraffe! I love giraffes! Also, nice commentary, good job.

[@Niko-nj6yz]

good job, that scratch version looks way better though.

[@DD_OneTwo]

It's nice to see him actually being excited for a project all the way through instead of him eventually becoming tired and the project becoming mentally taxing

[@killerdabmaster]

very educational I love when I see a giraffe with a extendible neck running in a 2d line eating floating onion rings doging bombs! I also now know how to solve life

[@justejyraph]

GIRAFFE IS MY FAVOURITE ANIMAL YESSSSSSSSSS

[@DommoDommo]

Please get the audio plugin RX MOUTH DECLICK and run it on your audio.

[@LazyAlarm]

I've got more braces in my mouth than teeth. Once I get all that removed, the spit sounds should ease off. In the mean time I'll try to find some inexpensive options for post-processing going forward. Though, I do worry that if I remove all the gross noises that there will be no commentary left.

[@TrentR42]

This is the first video of yours I've seen and I love it! Currently trying to figure out if the sign off was normal "Ciao for now" or a Eating pun of "Chow for now".

[@ultrarare_kev]

I really like the idea to rework old works, I realy like the game for what it trys to be. I also found a bug: if you spamm "w" and "s" and eat a onion ring the game will crash. Besides that, everything is nice.

[@ibluebee2832]

I have an idea ! what if, when a bomb hits the giraffe neck, the giraffe dies. it would make more sense and make the game harder. The best part about this is than you can put less bombs so the screen doesn't seem overloaded. maybe it could be a special mode, or maybe the whole game changes, idk, it's up to you... (loved the video btw)

looks sick maybe the onion ring should continue to move while the particle effect plays out instead of freezing

[@anon_y_mousse]

It's amazing how many games can be boiled down to Flappy Bird mechanics. The controls are a little loose and sometimes the giraffe's head goes too far and sometimes not far enough. I'm on Linux, but hopefully that doesn't affect things. Tried the Windows version through WINE and got a weird crash.

[@breadguyy]

amazing game! really reminds me of an old PC game i used to play called like Playtypus or something, by gamehouse very nostalgic while still giving a fresh coat of paint XD amazing video, too!

[@Stmate03]

I love how the giraffe looks like TBH (Autism creature) a bit, the stubby legs and the general vibe just makes me think it would randomly just get happy to see the onion rings and scream: YIPPEE!

[@adgurkan]

Btw ngl the scratch one is better

[@toad786]

I disagree

[@perrincustoms1]

Guys he is so talented 🥺 he must be protected

[@HedgehogY2K]

How do you feel about the difference between GDScript 1 vs 2? Cause... I got scared when you made that 100 hours video a while back. I just wanted too turn my idea of a Halo 32x sidescroller shooter into reality in 2D mode. I hear it's the simpler mode. In case you ask, 32x refers to the Sega 32x. And I do realize 2D mode means no 3D polygons but 2D can still use other 32x abilities like sprite scaling.

[@LazyAlarm]

I like GDScript 2 better. I had to relearn a few things, but not nearly as much as I thought I would. Plus, everything I did have to relearn had been improved. Less reliance on strings, some changes to methods and variable names, a couple handy new features and some performance improvements.

[@HedgehogY2K]

@@LazyAlarm So other than the new tiling system and 2D rendering options would you say that Godot 4.1 at this point is better for 2D in general? Considering what you said about GDScript 2 being better and being overall better to deal with than Godot 3's GDScript, I can only assume the workflow for making games regardless of 2D or 3D is better now right? I have a DX10.1/GL3.3 capable laptop so I could go either 3.6 upon release or 4.1 and set OpenGL as default.

[@PlaceHolder_072]

i love giraffes my first 3 stuffed animals in my whole life were all giraffes (as far as i can remember)

[@delqyrus2619]

You could made this in 2D at all, just by making some normal maps. So you get shadows and so on with an 2D image. I mean: I would prefer 3D too, because i suck at 2D art, but... If you already have the art, it is much easier to draw some normals and get pretty much the same result.

[@Smaxx]

Oh, man, I love the look of that giraffe. It should blink to make it obvious those are eyes, not nostrils, though.😉

[@LazyAlarm]

I appreciate the honesty!

[@muddrox887]

​@LazyAlarm Hey! I'm sorry, upon rereading my comment, I realized I wasn't being very helpful. Your remake just needs a little bit of tweaking and it'll shine. I think the shadows look a bit too aggressive. It looks very dark and color-muted compared to the original. If you are able to brighten thinks up and adjust the colors a bit, I think it'll pop much more. :)

[@Clara-bv9dr]

That giraffe looks so cute!!!!... Too bad he must die...
