Comes up with the rules for his own game jam, then immediately tries to circumvent all of them hahaha! Another great video my dude!
You know how I roll. :p Haha thanks so much!
Lmao, he really needed to find a loophole for his own game jam
That's the only way I roll.
Y'know, it's quite interesting, that you are a part of a studio, while many game devs on youtube are either solo or not a part of any studios anymore, perhaps you can make a video sharing some experiences while working in it?
Great suggestion! I will definitely make a video on it.
@@Goodgis yay id love to see that video! :D
Great video and congrats on the first game jam!
Hey man, thanks so much! I really appreciate it and I love your videos by the way. :D
Me: _casually watching Unity tutorials_
CZcams: *NOPE* _recommends Goodgis videos, Unity vs. Godot videos and Godot tutorials_ We learnin Godot now!
YESSS! My plan is working!
@@Goodgis OoO yay
the editing is just pure gold 👌 and the gradual reveal of the tiles is such a spot-on concept, it gives real exploring vibes, and takes the whole design to the next level 😉 🔝🔝
Thanks a ton! :D
I love your art for this game so much. It is so simple but so pleasing.
Thanks! :D Which style in particular the elf game or the rat roguelike?
@@Goodgis the rat roguelike. Both are very well done but the simplicity of the rat one is just so pleasing to the eye.
Awesome video man love the way you present videos in such a fun way
Thanks Tommy, I appreciate that!
Watching this while doing the Blackthronprod "Less is more" gamejam! Good luck to everyone participating
That's awesome! Best of luck to you!
Oooo, I just had a great Idea: your a snowman, in the middle of summer. Each level you have a limited amount time before you melt. You have to traverse through the levels to get to a snow cloud. The levels show stages of the seasons starting from summer, and the end of the game is a winter level.
Thought I’d put it down because I’d probably forget later.
That's a great idea! :D
Oof I think this is the year I finally do a game jame
Dooo eett! You'll love it and I would love to play your game.
Hey dude, great video! Excellent quality. You just got a new follower.
Ayyyeeee, welcome aboard! :D
The job you're doing is awesome! I'm also trying to make some devlogs in my channel, about my C++ 2D Game Engine, but your explanations are really complete and deep! Keep up that great job, I'm glad to learn more about the game!
Thanks! Also that's awesome, I've been learning C++ recently so I'll have to check out your videos.
@@Goodgis Thanks!! 😊👍
This was great, I enjoy your videos!
Thanks so much!
I live in Ohio too, and I disagree with your statement about the snow. The weather is always what is least convenient for us, not just snow.
You are correct! This is true.
Great video, Great editing
Glad you enjoyed it! :D
Love the vid keep the content up!
Appreciate it!
i was about to join the jam, but now i saw it's a month long, and
a. that's super scary, because a month of work on a game is supposed to be a lot better then ill ever be able to do...
b. i don't have that much time, because i need to start working on something else im doing...
well, good luck to everyone who's participating!
It's only a month long so people have enough time with their schedules. I generally only work on my game for a week for these game jams. haha Just because it's a month long doesn't mean you need to use the whole time. :D
@@Goodgis hmm yeah probably, but I still need to do the other project tho, and that one would DEFINITELY eat my entire month
Create your own game jam = STONKS
Stonks only go up!
Can't wait to play DD (Dewdrop Dynasty)
I love your videos!
Thanks so much! :D
Looks like a successful jam, although I'm not too sure if you really kept to the winter theme. Either way I enjoyed watching.
What, winter dungeon rats don't count? Haha
From what Ive known a rogue-like is a game where you lose all progress after you die and a rogue-lite is one where you can get special upgrades characters etc and keep them even if you die
That's kind of true but kind of not haha. The most popular definition of a Roguelike is the "Berlin Interpretation". Rogue Basin has a great post on it.
Nice editing
Thanks so much!
Nothing kills scope creep faster then a deadline and best not to be late submitting to your own jam. Maybe you can unshelf Elf game for the Winter Jam. 👍
That would be awesome! Maybe I will. :D
Lol, just did the last brackeys game jam just for the game to crash at the last hours. Build the game way before the last day guys!
I feel yeah haha
I like the game boy look of the game
Thanks! :D
I still haven't done a game jam. It seems stressful. BTW I think the art was fine.
They are a TON of fun! You should definitely join this Winter Jam.
Nice Job!
Thanks!
very nice
very thank you :p
For the winter theme you could have made it related to the mouse king from the nutcracker
That's what I was going for. It's about mice and collecting cheese. I even had nutcracker music in the trailer! haha
Cool. Already over 1k subs
Thanks so much! :D
you should release a finished version of your elf game!
Maybe someday! :D
Yooo that's what I suddenly felt. Why would you randomly put an elf game on me?!
In all seriousness...I love the art style with every game you work on and these examples are no exceptions. Wish I had known about this gamejam haha
Haha my bad! Our next game jam starts this Dec 1st. You should join! :D
Nice video. Maybe it finally push me to start a game jam... Although I am suck at Game Developpement.😅
Nah, you'll do great!
@@Goodgis Thanks
Digging the content, may have to join the game jam session as my first ever. Curious, have you considered Unity instead of Construct? If so wdy think, if not whats keeping you from trying?
Oh, I've used Unity before. I've also used Unreal, Game Maker, Godot, and Pico-8. I've just never finished any of my games in Unity. I'll have to make a video on it to share my thoughts.
Hey! I'm from Ohio too! Nice stuff, dude!
Ayeeee, greetings fellow Ohioan!
ah yes a rat + a rouglite = a game jam what a classical equasion
;)
All about Winter
*uploaded November 11th*
I just love winter okay. :p
Me: watches video to take a break from playing ace attourney
The video:
*Ace attourney reference*
Phoenix Wright should be a part of everyday life! haha
I have been playing it for a couple months on end. Though I guess i went right back to it the next day 😂
What software did you used? It look simple enough for me to understand XD
Construct 3 and it's extremely simple to use. Try it out some time!
hello hope youll answer this but how did you make the scene appear when u are walking towards it
Eh... ONE side project can't be that bad, right? :P
Jokes aside, great video as always. I love these.
I know, right? :p Thanks so much.
@@Goodgis Will you be making a video on the results of the jam?
@@prox276 That's what I'm thinking. :D
unfortunately i won't be able to participate in this game jam, but maybe in the next one
NOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo! Nah, you're good, Dude! haha
Nice ;D
:D
I've heard roguelites just let you keep something upon death, like gold or skills
Not this one. ;)
mate do some construct tutorial on how you did it
Perhaps I will?
The Nutcracker. In The Nutcracker the villain is the Rat King. I remember that from Barbie in the Nutcracker.
Nice! haha
I love game jams. I actually hosted one and it flopped 🤣😅
Yeah, it's kind of random whether or not people join. Our first one only had 7 people and our second had 270. Haha I'm not sure what happened.
@@Goodgis Must have done something right :)
How did a game create a genre of its own? That's quite something.
It was just that good.
@@Goodgis this had me thinking, there aren't many other forms of media which can be defined as a genre and as the singlular. Example: Elvis Presley isn't a genre.. Perhaps you could make a genre defining game one day, you have talent, I'm not just saying that.
@@trafficface That's very kind of you! haha
ME BACK BABY
Welcome back!
Top down as a limitation seems like it limits creativity too much. A big creative decision like that should be in the hands of the jammer that way you get more variety. A reasonable limitation would be a color scheme or a certain amount of levels or even an endless game.
Would you be willing to share your c3p so others could see how you implemented your dungeon generation? Asking for a friend 😊
Game jem is one of the stuff i like the idia but i don't have plan to create one from meny reason
1. Even my small projects takes at least 7 days to created from myself
2. I like to improve my projects that means even if my project made from 1 day i still i create i few updates to improve the project
3. Most off my project is multiplayer i don't see meny games jem focused on mulplayer
4. The game jem has limited time that the most important i never do i game jem i don't want my project to by glitches or unplayable i want my project to be as best is possible with oute forshe my self from this
It sounds like you need to do a game jam then! haha
@@Goodgis no my project takes at least i year to created ther is no way i by able to make in 7 days
This stuff looka hella like undertale
That's because Undertale looks like Earthbound. ;P
i want to play the earthbound thingy pls can you share the link?
It's not released yet. ;(
hows Stone n Bone going
i wanna play it
It going well. ;)
YOU USE CONSTUUCT 3 NO WAY
Yes way!

I definitely will! :D

Good! haha

@@Goodgis ok
Cool, but How much time this Jam lasted?
I believe it was 20 days.
@@Goodgis Cursed. It should have been 21.
Where do you find your music?
For my games?
@@Goodgis no, I mean for your videos, it’s good 👍
Oh shoot! I live in Ohio too! Small world lol
That's awesome, I love it here! It's definitely a beautiful state, minus all the road construction. :p

Pyxel Edit :D

What game engine did you use to make this game?
I used Game Maker Studio 2 for the Elf Game, and Construct 3 for the Roguelike.
@@Goodgis which would you recommend for someone who wants to start making games?
@@georgedignum Probably Contruct 3, it's way easier and there is a free version of it.
Lol I dont know kf anyone said this but dance of the sugar plum fairy had rats

Goodgis how can you live in good morning(Ohiyo!)???
I know how rats are like winter, rats only infest my house at winter, at summer they are sooo rare, that its like they're extinct.

@@Goodgis Thanks!
Jammy yummy
So tasty!
@@Goodgis yeah
This can be a casual mobile game.
For sure! :D
I dont get it. how was this game winter themed????
Are you talking about Squeaks & Squalls? It’s based off of the Nutcracker, and it takes place during winter. It’s hard to show all the detail with a few pixels haha

oh no im a bit late
Nonsense!
Senpai would you sell C3 templates? I would pay top $$$
Sadly I don't own C3 anymore. ;(
you know you can make it so it only animates when the character actually moves
unless you either didnt have time or forgot or just meant for it to be like that that's cool too
I just didn’t get that far. :D
This guy sounds like Ryan Reynolds
Yes, I am detective Pikachu. ;)

Whelp, that's what the 1.25 speed feature on CZcams is for. :D
