When Life Makes a Game Jam Harder (Mix and Jam 2020)

[@LuxrayLloyd]

Geez, yeah, that seems like the WORST time to be in a game jam

[@ZDubbz]

@Yeth_Memeser No one asked you to reply to this person's nice comment

[@williamherring]

@Yeth_Memeser do you have to comment this everywhere?

[@fernandobrandt7230]

not just to be in a game jam

[@sendie7645]

For a second I thought this comment was sarcastic then I read the reply’s I realized it’s not a rude comment

[@FortnuitePro]

“This is where the current KZbin trends say I should tell you to subscribe and hit the bell” that’s the most innocent way of saying that. Your personality always shines through vimlark. Ps. I’m very sorry for your loss, may she Rest In Peace

I am sorry for your loss... These are tough times but it will get better eventually as long as you hang in there.

[@williamherring]

Vimlark deserves heaps of credit for having so many terrible things happening and still finding time to stream and put out videos. This is why he is one of the best game dev creators out there.

My deepest condolences.. what a time to have such an amount of bad situations pop up. Loved the game btw, well done man

[@flyingfish]

I am so happy that you've made a new video! I just did my first game jam, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without all your tips. Thanks so much!

[@ZDubbz]

Please send th link to the game you did for the jam, I would really love to see it!

[@sixty5notch796]

The fact that you pushed through all of of this and still got this game out shows how strong you are. I know this is super late but im glad that your wife didnt get the virus, dad got better and im sorry for your loss.

[@AlHyckGaemsTAD]

My condolences to you and your family. Astonishing work and effort you put into your creation during that time and thank you for the quality content. Hope all continues to get better for you going forward.

[@autumnshade84]

Thanks as always for the inspiration inside of such a tough time for you and your family. I love the way you present your videos with your process, honesty, humour. It gives me heaps of inspiration with the start of my journey in game making. All the best with everything.

[@DissonantSynth]

Thank you for all the work and love you put into streaming and youtube. You're hands-down my favourite game dev to watch, and your videos always make me smile

[@justjamminjazzy]

I love your content, and I want you to know it has helped me learn and get better at game dev, and I know that’s true for tons of other people. I hope things get better, I’m praying for you.

[@Chadderbox]

The art really ties this game together. On another note, the pure amount of bad luck in this video is off the charts, and I hope things get better for you.

[@EchoPrograms]

I've been waiting for this since you mentioned it on stream

[@ZDubbz]

sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace. F

[@Skeffles]

I love the aesthetic of this game! Great job on that. Sorry for your loss and it's great to hear your wife and dad are doing better. Stay safe!

[@danforce4222]

1:24 That's an interesting way of making shadows, Imma steal it

[@KrazyRex]

This feels like it can be a feature game.

[@williamherring]

Eh, probably not. Vim had a bunch of stuff going on and it’s not really one of his greatest games. At least he did the jam though.

[@rustyforge]

Wow, sorry about all the family matters, will pray for peace and comfort. Nicely done work in such a short time. I really like the shooting mechanics with multiple enemies. Great animation work.

[@MrMooGames]

The floating platforms look really cool. I really like the little sway that you added to them. Sweet video!

[@greyson1234]

I feel ya dude just last week me and my family got COVID and it wasn't fun. But goodluck and I hope your test comes back negative.

[@issacthompson330]

Congrats on the game, my condolences for your Great Aunt, and I wish you the best.

[@vandercomics]

I’m so happy that you guys are ok, but so so sad for your loss😔 may she rest in peace❤️

[@santerikkkkk]

I have been enjoying your content for the last month! Its really entertaining, keep up the good work! :) Sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.

[@GamesBySaul]

I am so sorry for your loss, and for the genuinely bad time you've been having. But honestly, amazing job sticking through the jam despite that, the game turned out great from the looks of it. :) (I'd say for that wave issue, maybe make enemies invincible until the camera can see them?)

[@bshields3901]

Jeez man I knew you were in a tough spot but I didn't know it was this terrible... I hope life is getting better for you, man!

[@ThePixelExpedition]

That's a lot of bad news. I hope everything is okay. I really enjoyed the video. I love watching your process to get games out. Always inspiring!

[@phil-gamedev5250]

Great video! It's amazing to see how polished your GameJam games look, when I participate in jams, I always overscope haha

[@hm4266]

Sorry for your lost, I absolutely agree with the last sentence about game jams, they are about experience, you don’t have to change the game to improve it later, because game jam it’s not about making good game for your portfolio, it’s about developing it, so if you don’t wanna make it commercial or something, it’s okay, so after everything happened with you during the jam, I’m just saying congrats you succeeded)

[@GameFavorites]

that's an awesome looking game, especially in just 48 hours and I love how you've done the explosion animations

[@Kami-mk7tu]

Still waiting for him to remake his first game

[@guiorgy]

I think you meant *Aseprite* instead of *Asesprite* Also, for those interested, the old v0.9.5 is available for free, but the newer one will cost you 20$ on their website, but probably cheaper on Steam (specially on steam sales), though the standalone will include a steam key

[@zapexe7520]

can i get inspired by this? and by inspired i mean taking the core mechanics and systems, upgrade them and do stuff more and different? it wont be the same game, but i really like what u did here and i want to try making something out of the idea also, i hope youre doing well, sounds like a tough weekend. stay storng amigo
