The Dumbest Game I Ever Made

[@I-OGameDev]

Fellow scottish folks: I'll be showcasing Strata at Dundee Contemporary Arts' 'Drop in and Play' on the 25th of May! This will be new (currently unreleased) build. Come have a chat and a play.

wait your scottish?!?! damn im dumb

Bro spent so much time to say “I added physics to the game”

Optimal youtuber moment

[@seanmelton8415]

Helicopter golf looks like so much fun

[@obungacheck]

It is very surprising to me how little recognition you have for such detailed content with unique ideas and great commentary. I greatly enjoy your explanations and how you document the development process. It was very cool to link your thoughts to other difficult games such as Getting Over It and comparing what they have in common to be "hard". Great video.

[@I-OGameDev]

Thanks very much! It's been a bit of a mental barrier to get over that *one very successful video*, but after some reflection I'm happy just making content that I'm proud of and that appeals to folk like yourself. Numbers will come, I believe!

[@obungacheck]

@@I-OGameDev anyone can have a successful video, but holding an audience is the impressive part and thats what youre working towards. be happy with what you do and people will come naturally. again, great video and amazing content

Imagine looking outside your window before you go to bed and seeing a huge structure of platforms and ramps, with a massive golf hole at the top, and you see some idiot in a helicopter swinging around a wrecking ball for no reason

[@jdpowell6405]

I like how you went from waxing poetic about chaos and physics into game design specifics to ... "instill fear in the player."

[@AlexAegisOfficial]

Funny because I had the same idea for a game, but with less thought behind it, my goal wasn't unpredictability, just creating a fun sandbox. And instead of a helicopter with a wrecking ball in a sidescroller setting, it's a top down hack and slash with a small character and a big sword, and the swords momentum can fling the character itself away.

[@I-OGameDev]

oh that idea is both hilarious and awesome. Would love to see it expanded on!

[@nayzal]

this is awesome! side note but i love the sound of the golf ball

[@I-OGameDev]

Thank you! Building the system for that one was real fun, original sound linked in description

[@mikhailhumphries]

Bro has that professional dev log vibe

[@SchmataB]

dude, I had rage moments just from watching this game. of course I want it on steam!

[@TheMarketExit]

I love it! The way you swung the wrecking ball around at 5:35 ish made me think you'd use it for a hammer throw / sling shot type of game

[@I-OGameDev]

Thanks! Yeah I've used the same controller for a couple wildly different games including a weird puzzle game for the last GMTK game jam I'm familiar with your channel! Funny to see you on this corner of the Internet

[@charitymcardle2735]

I am not a gamer...as you know. Just a patron. But this game looks impossibly hard. I cried just watching the play.

[@AetherXIV]

I think the wrecking ball should atleast be a slightly different color. my thought -yellow or grey

[@I-OGameDev]

Agreed, getting this game to read clearly visually has been an interesting challenge so far!

[@Ibadullah]

Premiers in 16 hours. I cant wait that long

My life is an eternal struggle between ADHD and optimal opload times

[@Sugar3Glider]

Patricia shout-out! Woo!

[@Swinkly_]

Love this idea! And I'm certainly not one to complain about a physics infodump. It's really cool how adding a couple physics objects can add so much complexity!

[@zentoa]

Deep Dip 2 Mention!!!!

[@Richard_Ingalls]

Love this! #interacting with the video to drive up engagement

[@Sugar3Glider]

Ummm, acktually, the bigger ball tends to droop lower. While they may have the same mass, having the smaller ball on top fits better with interactions and avoids pinching.

[@I-OGameDev]

Pinching is an interesting concept, I assume you're talking about the ball getting stuck dead in a corner? I actually like the challenge that poses in theory, but in practice I did have to add a system that detects the ball getting stuck and nudge it slightly

[@i8jx]

make the wall jump like bouncers the player click space and bounce and space and doesn't lose momentum so its like timing when to click space so you don't lose momentum

[@squatsby]

The new Strata character model reminds me of the blue egg-thief guys from Spyro. Appropriate! Since they were very fast.

[@dylanrapp7629]

Yo deep dip I only finished the first floor

[@nocrega]

Trackmania mentioned!!
