Recreating Pikmin’s Gameplay | Mix and Jam (feat.

Pikmin is a game where you command an army of these tiny creatures that help you on your journey by carrying objects back to your ship and fighting a variety of dangerous enemies. In this video, I show how I tried to do a simple recreation of the basic gameplay of managing the Pikmin and carrying objects - using the Unity engine!

It was lovely to collaborate, and great to see it all polished together in the video! I'm probably going to make a behind-the-scenes video about creating the models and sound effects, as well as sharing the music. And I'm definitely downloading that project repository, gotta play with this some more!

[@Moss_Dude]

Did you voice the pikmin or did you use a sound file from the original game? I know you are more than capable.

[@hiiammatthew8735]

This soundtrack is absolutely awesome! It gives me old consoles and zelda OOT vibes

[@fightboyvash]

I was thinking about your content the whole first section of this video and I actually gasped when he said you were a collaborator!

Dani you should mention mix&jam in your video at least for once gamedevs are united with unity .

I second this one!

bru, this is 100% exactly pikmin. you could make the sequel right now !

[@andrewhamel1]

all he needs is the legal permission to do so haha

[@MrHocotateFreight]

Attention all pikmin fans: this is your call to arms. A unity basic engine has been made. Those of us with no game design experience now have a way in. The original series takes a decade between releases, assuming they even decide to continue after this. I'm beginning to learn now, please take the leap and LETS KEEP PIKMIN ALIVE

[@bogymanthedark]

*Nintendo wants to know your location*

[@Luminou83]

I begun too but I'm struggling on the offmesh links to allow Pikmin to not stay stuck on obstacles like trees or anything

[@mrjellyfish2]

you're in luck, they just announced pikmin 3 deluxe!

[@MrHocotateFreight]

@@mrjellyfish2 i dont know how i feel about it, i definitely think, as fans, we need to support it so Nintendo knows we love pikmin, but I've been waiting forever for pikmin 4. Hey! Pikmin scared the heck outa me, I thought that was gonna be 4! Now it's a remake of the old games? Dang it I'll get it but I'm also impatient for pikmin 4 have i mentioned pikmin 4 enough?

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE ONES IN THE BACK

[@tuliolages2681]

Damn, boy. What can I say except AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA? It's impressive how much more stuff you're gradually putting in each video as time goes on. Nice prototype. Nice collab. Double nice.

[@NoiseDay]

Thanks so much to Scruffy for introducing this channel, and to Mix and Jam for existing! I'm a baby game dev and don't know the first thing about making games. This channel with be a lot of help.

[@Jimble]

This is incredibly well-designed, and I definitely encourage you to proceed with it! However, it's wonderful that you've made it open source, so now if you just don't want to keep working on it, others can. Really respectable, and lovely work! Good job to Scruffy too!

[@1upedro798]

Finally we will have Pikmin fangames

pikmin 4: *doesn't come out* this guy: Fine, I'll do it myself.

[@ClutchGen]

4:02 Very clever solution, this is what makes programming / game dev so fun!

[@Sheepy765.]

Nice to see Scruffy and Mix And Jam collaborating, in retrospect it seemed obvious that they should have collaborated.

[@KamekSans]

Oh my god, when I first saw this channel I had this idea in the back of my mind but I thought "nah, it'd be way too complex". I love Pikmin so much and this is an amazing recreation! Keep it up!

Now i really want to see people make a Pikmin fan game/pikmin inspired game.

[@retrosquid4438]

Someone needs to make a fanmade Pikmin 4. I would download it in a hearbeat.

[@ChowderMarx]

RetroSquid it would probably come out before the actual pikmin 4 if you start now

[@Exodus-sh5mq]

It be cool but Nintendo would sue them in a heart beat.

[@supercyclone8342]

@@Exodus-sh5mq They would wait until the project was out despite obvious publicity, and possibly even wait until after it receives an updated or 2, then take it down.

[@super8bitable]

Super Cyclone They only takes down remakes and stuff they see as “competing” with their own products. Of course this would be taken down.

[@supercyclone8342]

@@super8bitable did you read the comment? I described what happened to AM2R, Pixelmon, and what would have probably happened to Mother 4 if they didn't rebrand it to Oddity.

[@Pichuscute]

Literally just found Scruffy's channel; yesterday and he shows up here. Also just started making a game where this might be relevant a few days ago and then this gets posted. This is super useful!

[@shopnil4]

Yo, I saw this on Reddit, it looks so cool!

[@MrNobodyX3]

Despite how well you did, you can see where pikmin has done better. Like; - the pikmin carrying are touching the object - functionless animations to give pikmin more life - auto-following for things like getting close or if you're near by after turning in a object

[@pristinebean]

You've out done yourself, again!!

[@alessandromazza4557]

God damn it, this is amazing. I'm just a beginner in Unity, but your videos are so helpful to understand the logic behind certain game mechanics, and that's perfect

[@Cryomancer765]

I’ve had a few of Scruffys vids just play as background noise while doing other stuff, and I know that Scruffy Pikmin voice, it’s great hearing it used in a game

[@HYPERMUSH64]

I tried to recreate Pikmin at a game jam in February and did ok. You absolutely crushed it, however, and idk how I can continue without taking some advice. Bravo! Also it is based that you collabed with Scruffy. Making mother's day feel like Christmas!

[@NintegaDario]

Man, if there's anything I'd love you to recreate, it would be The Battle System from Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, that game had an interactive crowd and sometimes players would battle off-stage. This was awesome; I love Pikmin!

[@Drake_Waffle]

This is so cool, I would live to see plucking pikmin out of the grounds, the onions, and enemies, but that's what would be cool and make this more pikmin like

[@Untitled_Niamiko]

As a Pikmin modder, it was interesting seeing how people would go about recreating the game in a completely new engine. Did you know that in the actual games, pathfinding for carrying objects is determined by a set of connected coordinate points known as "routes"? It may have already been obvious because of the quirks with the napsack, but I still think it's pretty neat.

Hey André, the final result is super cool, great work!

I'd love to see a version of one of the Rhythm Heaven minigames, perhaps Spaceball or Karate Man. Don't know how feasible it'd be to do that in unity, whether it'd be better to use cell-based animation like the games or 3d models or whatever. This is super cool! You and Scruffy did a great job

Thanks! Check out the rest of the channel, there are more recreations!

[@VitroTheAlien]

I'm actually surprised that no game developer tried to make their own pikmin-esque game yet. (especially one with dungeons like in Pikmin 2) Did nintendo like copyright the idea of pikming? Can't somebody create a game where you create minions/robots by letting them bring resources to a factory to get more of them?

[@mixandjam]

I think there are some indie games trying that concept out! I know Splashteam are creating the game Sbriz: twitter.com/splashteamdevs
