Jump in as we dive deep into how we made "Mimic" for the GMTK Game Jam 2023. Think Pico-8's cute graphics are simple? Think again! Our little chest character's sneaky antics could give big names like Hitman and Metal Gear a run for their money. Addy's here to spill the beans on all the fun, chaos, and sneaky tactics we packed into making this game in just two days. If you're into game design, stealth games, or just love a good game-making story, you're in for a treat!

No idea why your channel isn't bigger, your videos are awesome! Keep up the great videos, you'll get there in no time.

[@AddyValentine]

Thanks, will do!

[@fergarram]

This is one of my favorite youtube channels ever

couldn't beat the first level due to sound of my dummy-thicc mimic cheeks clapping loudly through the stage.

Addy, you're a God (with a capital G). One of your best videos yet. Also, I'm Stoneking

The stealth design is so good this channel remains hidden. You're like the metal gear of game dev channels totally Solid.

[@ninkotop]

We are yet again blessed with another Addy daddy video

[@colodezwells4026]

this is a pure gold!

[@terrangerratt5524]

Pretty slick achievement for 2 days of work. Well done!

[@AddyValentine]

Thanks!

[@VeryOwsome]

As a beginner game dev who has never made video games, Addy videos show me that with enough determination and using incredibly limiting game engines such as Pico 8 or gamemaker Stadia I can also make games!

[@muscularman5985]

Great video Addy. Very inspiring how you challenged yourself under heavy time constraints

[@jardiwester8704]

Bro, i love your videos. The humor plus the devlog aspect is something i can't find anywhere as good as here. Your vids are a real inspiration to a beginner game dev like myself

[@AddyValentine]

Damn, man. I really appreciate that. Thanks

[@DarkDax]

Brilliant as always Addy! This game stole MY heart... seriously though, please give it back...

[@AddyValentine]

To the victor goes the spoils, loser!

[@TheRenegadem]

Love the content as always! One piece of feedback--i think the wind in the background is substantially more distracting than it adds to the video. Besides that, hope you keep making great videos!

[@AddyValentine]

Hey, good to know! Another one of those weird film quirks I need to adjust for youtube, thanks!

[@domeen0gt895]

Why do tou have so little views with such high quality content?!

[@AddyValentine]

Probably the shitty thumbnails

[@G33X]

Gremlos keep restreaming the videos on Twitch instead of watching the videos on YT on their own

[@costelinha1867]

This is supposed to be about the game, but I'm more interested in the amazing cgi animation in this video. Also yeah, coding on the pico 8's editor is a nightmare, hence why I avoid pico 8. Which is a shame, cuz you can do some pretty cool stuff in it.

[@ArtRiku]

Demigod indeed !

Uhhhhh, no much?!? Where's da ice cream in 'dis joint?

I would love to edit videos as I saw on YT jobs! I have a 3yr experience in editing. Do let me know!

[@ZakoShadow]

Ur content is so much fun im obsessed with games development i would love to be your editor ❤ i will make something huge from this Ps : iv applied for the position in yt jobs so good luck for me ❤

[@Dailyfiver]

Addy do you use a vr headset to control your character? The animation is so fluid lol

[@AddyValentine]

I do, Drew! Still got a lot of fine tuning but I'm glad you like it!

[@Dailyfiver]

@@AddyValentine Man! That’s absolutely genius! I give you huge credit for thinking of that 😁

[@nwhajlawn6224]

your video is soo refreshing the nature and colours is very good but please work on your thumbnail, I know you are going to be a big youtuber once your thumbnail is catchy😤

[@AddyValentine]

Thanks for the tip! I can't seem to wrap my head around the thumbnail game it seems

[@nwhajlawn6224]

you just need one viral video and then the other video will also take off , just one viral video. I know this type of video takes a lot of time and work. I will pray for your growth❤ @@AddyValentine

[@SamSerious]

Ahh i cant believe i left this video in my watch later section for almost 10 days. Dud you gotta work on your thumbnail game, at least add your characters face in the corner or something. But seriously though if you changed your thumbnail up you could probably still get a ton of views due to the high quality video

[@AddyValentine]

Yeah, man. You're not the only one who's said it. Probably my biggest point of feedback is the thumbnails. For whatever reason I can't seem to wrap my head around it, but I'll give your suggestion a spin

[@SamSerious]

​@@AddyValentinethumbnail are hard even harder for gamedev, and even harder for 2D games. I am sure you will figure it out, don't give up :)

[@AddyValentine]

@@SamSerious They should call you SamSupportive. Thanks, man. I'll keep experimenting with it. I'm working on upping my post frequency to experiment more so there'll probably be a few stinky thumbnails here and there

[@KaiVidzYT]

Hey addy on yt jobs i wanted to apply any chance for me to apply?

[@AddyValentine]

Yeah, you shouldn't have any issues appying on YTJobs! :D
