[@HelperWesley]

Be sure to check out the Artist and Musician! They did SO GOOD! Their links are in the description. 👍

[@avetitus8665]

thanks bro

[@GMTK]

Congrats on hitting that spot! Glad to hear the videos have been useful :D

[@HelperWesley]

Hey! 👋 I've watched all of your videos, as well as all of the videos from GDC, Extra credits, and some other channels here on youtube. And..... now I have a job in the games industry. 😅 (Tangentially lol)

[@Lightspeed6]

Honestly, I'm pretty shocked we managed to be the 9th most popular game in the GMTK game jam!

[@HelperWesley]

Me too! 😱

[@Skeffles]

The aesthetics of this game are brilliant! You guys absolutely smashed it on this one.

[@GoodmansGhost]

Congrats, your art has leveled up to passable ;)

[@HelperWesley]

🤣

[@XavierDC]

I LOVED your game, I definitely played it quite a bit during the jam and was amazed that you went with mini-games for a Game Jam as if just making 1 game wasn't hard enough. And yet you managed to absolutely nail it anyway. Well done, I'm super impressed and also slightly jealous.

[@HelperWesley]

Thanks! I'm really happy with how it turned out! Looking at our analytics, a good chunk of the audience played the game for more then 15 minutes, which is kind of mind blowing for a game jam. 👀(Most people play for 5-10 minutes, and bail to play/rate the next game) I wish I could say how we pulled it off. None of us got very much sleep, and it was honestly kind of a blur. I'm just really happy that I remembered to hit record. 😅

[@purplegill10]

The algorithm blessed me with this video. Awesome work by all.

[@RockyMulletGamedev]

The game came out really well, congrats on the whole team 👍

[@HelperWesley]

Thanks! I really had to step it up to keep pace with those two. 😅 I think I'm too out of shape for 48 hour jams. 🤣

[@ChopieTheCat]

Man you suuure look familiar..... Great job my dude!

[@HelperWesley]

Strange, where have I seen your name before? Hmmmmmm.....? Thanks. 👍

[@imzasoft]

Congrats! This Was My First Jam And It Didn't go well but Atleast I was able to submit it on time! Btw Can You Make A video on how to make a Devlog thanks.

[@HelperWesley]

At least you got something in! This was my first 48 (consecutive) hour jam, and it was just an absolute blur. I don't know how people do them regularly. 😅 There are other videos out there about making a devlog, and I'm not sure what I would add to the conversation. But if I come up with something, maybe I will in the future. 👍 If it helps, I use Davinci resolve for video editing(it's a big heavy to run) and OBS for screen recording. 🤔

[@imzasoft]

@@HelperWesley I mostly need to know how to write the script other things I mostly know.

[@HelperWesley]

@@imzasoft Oh, I don't write scripts, so I'm no help there. lol. I just ramble and cut out the boring parts. 😅

[@imzasoft]

@@HelperWesley Oh Okay Thanks lol.

[@mayankbhaisora2699]

Congratulations brother for participating in your first game jam. It doesn’t matter what results you got or even if you submitted a bad game at least you submitted your build. You already won as you completed your first game jam. 🙂 Can you please share your game’s link?

[@rajmehta7644]

My game peaked just outside the top 10 most popular, but most of the time it was around the 20-30 range (my game was Cube Compute btw).

[@HelperWesley]

Oh hey! 👋 I saw your game up near the top, I didn't a chance to play it, but that is an awesome placement to land among 6k games! Even for a brief time. 👍 We've dropped down to.... the top 25(?) I think. 🤔

[@rajmehta7644]

​@@HelperWesley Nice! Ours dropped down to the 60s when the jam ended which is still pretty good. It'd be amazing if ours made it into GMTK's video, but I'd still be happy with what I accomplished even if it didn't.

[@StevePixelFace]

Awesome game, fun mini games and loved the world that you got to play in. Hopefully another collab with both Art Man Oil and LightSpeed6 is on the cards.

[@HelperWesley]

I hope so, they're both REALLY good at what they do. 🤞 But actually, I've got Lightspeed6's music in my rogueli*e and Art Man Oil's art for the main menu screen already. So technically, we're already working on another collab. 🤣

[@StevePixelFace]

@@HelperWesley Oh yes of course. I forgot about the Spent Shells main menu which is amazing, I love the look of the gun dude for that, it's perfect.

[@AIAdev]

The game looks so good! I haven’t played it yet, but I definitely need to check it out.

[@HelperWesley]

Thanks! We're really happy with how it turned out. Obviously can be improved on, but for 48 hours, were happy.

[@odaghast]

My goodness this is amazingly beautiful!

[@HelperWesley]

The artist is SO GOOD! 👀

[@ChiefDev]

Your game will be top 100 for sure, well done

[@HelperWesley]

Fingers crossed. 🤞 But there were so many good games, it would really be a surprise. 😅

[@tauheedgamedev2388]

Oh man what a dream team, There's soo much polish in this game I never would have guessed it was made for a Game Jam.

[@HelperWesley]

Thanks! We probably crammed a couple weeks worth of work hours in to that game over the course of a single weekend. Very little sleep. 😅 But we're really happy with how it came out.

[@moirai4518]

Congrats, it looks super good. Awesome works from u guys

[@VictrisGames]

Congrats on the game and thanks for the interesting video. I love seeing how the process of game dev looks from other people's perspectives!

[@HelperWesley]

I would have loved to include the perspectives of the artist and musician, but honestly, 48 hours is incredibly short. I'm surpised I remembered to hit record at all.😅

[@dardasaba7971]

Congrats! I somehow got into the top 50!

[@RealTHEspectre]

WOAH! thats pretty epic man!

[@HelperWesley]

That's awesome! 🥳 There were so many great games this year that I played, and lots of others that I saw played on streams.

[@masxe4106]

I have just checked and yep, my oily friend is indeed the artist you've been referring to. Cool

[@HelperWesley]

Oh yes! Art Man Oil is GREAT! 👍

[@RealTHEspectre]

Nice! Congrats Helper Man!

[@HelperWesley]

Thanks! The artist and musician really made it possible. They did GREAT.

[@Stavex112]

Congrats

[@SidFish]

Awesome game Wes, great work!

[@HelperWesley]

Thanks! My team mates definitely did a lot of the heavy lifting, but I'm happy with what I was able to put together in the 48 hours. 👍

[@ItsGeppy]

congrats! loving it

[@HelperWesley]

Thanks! Looking back on it, I'm glad I hit record, because that weekend was just a blur. 😅

[@thespeedyyoshi]

Hecka impressive ^w^

[@FabiulousGames]

Congrats bro!

[@HelperWesley]

Thanks!

[@baddev2720]

I would really say I love your game for real dude. I wish I could develop games like you guys

[@HelperWesley]

Nothing to it but to keep working on it, like any other skill. 👍

[@baddev2720]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THATS COOOOL

[@fosterturtle]

Way to go Wes!

[@HelperWesley]

Thanks! 🥳 It's wild. 😅

[@darkvoid4017]

The game looks amazing 😁

[@HelperWesley]

Thanks!

[@darkvoid4017]

@@HelperWesley I have a question and that's how do you come up with game ideas? because it's something I find myself stuck on I would sit on a blank project just thinking of what to make 😅

[@HelperWesley]

@@darkvoid4017 I wish I could help with that, I'm one of those "so full of ideas I might explode" kind of people. 😅 I will say, when I do get a new idea for a game, I quickly scribble the basic concepts down in a big book, promising to go back to it one day. Maybe that would help? Have some way to jot down an idea at all times. So if something comes to you while you're out getting groceries, you'll have it for later. 🤔

[@darkvoid4017]

@@HelperWesley thanks a lot I’m sure this will help me 😁

[@nerdplan]

nice video. what video editor are you using?

[@HelperWesley]

Davinci resolve. 👍

[@ghyro2848]

Definetly missed a chance to name it "Casino Rollyale"

[@HelperWesley]

That was the name we were trying to play on, and I thought about "rollyale" but I couldn't really pronounce it. 🤔

[@avetitus8665]

Bruh no way it had a casino sound pack

[@Syafire]

Poggerssss

[@HelperWesley]

So very poggers. 😅

[@Syafire]

@@HelperWesley ​ Loved the story telling in this video, great work

[@ChickenDev]

Nice stuff! Seems like a lot of people were inspired by cuphead!

[@HelperWesley]

Mark adding cuohead to the announcement video probably had a hand in that. Lol.

[@Prajwal____]

Do you added the wobble with the tweens??

[@HelperWesley]

The button stretching out and back is with a couple of tweens, but most of the wobbles are from the "object shake" extension. I LOVE that extension and put it everywhere in my games. 😅

[@Prajwal____]

@@HelperWesley wow! I saw that extension many times but I ignored it, lol, I am gonna see all available extensions before the gdevelop jam starts😄

[@HelperWesley]

@@Prajwal____ That's a great idea. I suggest the object shake and the camera shake extensions. They're both great and easy to use for game juice. 👍

[@JT-iy4zn]

release the soundtrack on Spotify or smth

[@HelperWesley]

I showed this to the musician, so maybe. 🤔

[@Lightspeed6]

I've been considering putting my music on Spotify recently, and if I ever do, the music from this game would likely be released there!

[@reeethan]

nice, my game didn't come close 😅
