I Paid Game Developers on Fiverr to Make the Same Game
In this video, I pay three different Game Developers on Fiverr to make the same game. I send all game developers the same game brief, and they try to make the same game in this Fiverr Game Development challenge.

Can I expand my expired trial there?
I will post on fiver to make a game 2d simple, for 1$, cause i new user on fiver and beginner of game development 😁🙏🙏
Check out core engine bro.
@@spoon8994 hehe yaa :(, i set 5 dollars on fiverr, but without fiverr, i can make for 1 dollars😅
Any chance you might be able to let us know who the artists are? I'd love to hire the creator of the 2nd game for a project.
2nd developer should charge WAY more than 10 bucks
fr
Every one of them should charge way more
@@NaejDoree The reality of fiverr is: you simply can't charge more since there are many other talented people charging pennies for their work, usually from Pakistan or India. Fiverr is just horrible.
@@juliand3565 depends where you live,i get paid ~1250€ net every month at my job. 45$/h is 7200 a month with a 40hrs week job... That's a fuckin lot.
@@juliand3565 and that's the problem,for YOUR area. My gross salary is 1650€.
you really managed to pay your devs less than Blizzard does! That’s gotta be an Xbox achievement or something lol
That's hillarious and cruel at the same time
nah bro this is EA, the devs pay HIM for the publicity.
You made my day
@@strategypoint8258 nope cause thier names were not mentioned. they didnt get any exposure from this
Fiverr is insane people will literally recreate the mona Lisa 1:1 for like 50 bucks on there
i’m so glad others are noticing the lack of well deserved credit
And it's worrying, depressing and disappointing yet not unexpected that this bastard isn't even deleting the criticism comments.
Man the Second guy deserves so much more. As a developer, i am shocked how he made all those animations, just for $10, that's insane. I really hope he succeeds irl.
Probably was just an asset pack he bought, nonetheless, it's still credit programming the game and getting it for under $25... He should've at least be credited
nah fr im hoping its some random talented teen who didn't need the money and does it as a hobby... even so, they deserved credit
That second game was really good honestly
honestly, even the first game is worth a little more than 10$ (not talking about copy-paste the same idea over and over,but as is , it's worth a little more, maybe like 15-20$)
for the second game, u can notice the nice art style,its simple but u can tell it's made by an expert artist that gave u what u paid for, even more, and u can notice the colors has been chosen wisely, also u can tell he could make the gameplay smoother but he didn't, for that price, it's worth at least $45
lastly, for the last game, he is a good creative programmer, but not an artist, the game mechanism is more complicated compared to the last 2 games,he is not an expert artist, even so, he is smart bcz he knows how to make a good simple design with no effort or advanced art skills
i think they used free art assets from the internet but yeah it actually had meaningful level generation and points so it’s good
The second one definitely worth more than 10 $ you are right
The second game is maybe too good for 10$ and one week of work.
Everything is way too polished, I mean he implemented :
A really great procedural generation for the map generator
Animation on basically everything which needs a lot of time to polish
Effing parallax scrolling for the background
A fully fledged UI system that seems to be working
I really doubt that the game was made in one week by one person from scratch, either he started with an already existing project and tweaking some things or he is a god of game jams.
Wanted to like your comment, but it's at "666".. But I definitely agree! It looks fun.
these prices should be a crime honestly, especially for a sponsored video.
that's Capitalism
It’s the price they agreed to, yes they should have charged more
@@shadowfax3505 yeah like 10.000 dollars
Fiverr is fucked, some devs need 5 stars for the algorithm to push them higher up. So take some lower end jobs...
@@GameDevUE yup.
Give the developers a shout out so they can be rewarded for their efforts. You got a lot of value for their hard work.
Give each of the devs 10% of the earnings by this video as bonus. You still get to keep 70% for the work they did without even getting credit for their work.
Yes. Seriously. If he did this I might consider subscribing
The idea of making this video came from the person who uploaded the video, He got paid for the views his idea brought. The game devs got paid for their work, now, I'm not saying it is fair this guy made more money than the people who worked to create the videogames, but that's where you should consider, Did I study 6 years in game development to get paid 10 dollars for my work ? I'm pretty sure game developers can do a lot better than that. And I mean it, you are like gods, creating worlds and molding them to your desire....I wish I could do that so don't work for 10 dollars ever.
I feel really sorry for whomever made the second game. They sold themselves short. I mean, you don't owe it to the developer, but it would be really cool if your worked with them to make it a full release. If they're interested. Also, could you give these devs a shout out?
Agree. 10 bucks? Omg, it’s a shame.

The fact that the second game developer was paid less than minimum wage is upsetting. None of the artists were credited as well. Such a shame.
the miumum wage is like 11.80 $ per hour, i think
@@neutral1707 and that game looks like it took way more than an hour
@@Oscar-vs5yw depends on how skilled you are
@@neutral1707 I'd say it depends on how much you copied and pasted from previous projects, if you made something similar before, it could probably be made fast, from scratch tho, probably takes a while, even for skilled programmers
@@Oscar-vs5yw ya I agree. The 2nd probably did it out of kindness
I feel bad for the devs who got paid pennies to do a week's worth of work... and not even get any credit in the description.
He's not obligated to shout them out. That's not the point of the video. The point was to see what projects he could do with the amount of money and the goal he set out to do. We also don't know if these games were prototypes (copy/paste). Besides everyone should be grateful to be able to get a prototype for that amount of money, imagine if you was trying to create a full game experience $10 or $25 would add up since you have to keep spending money to create a full on experience. If you spend $200 for a prototype then you will never have money to really create a full on game. Just Think!
@@kelvin303 yeah but the least he could’ve done was shout them out. He didn’t make the game they did. So go somewhere else Kelvin.
@@kelvin303
Kevin... "obligated"? Who cares! Be a good person. I am glad we're not friends.
@@windrose5988It's actually pathetic how everyone is offended on someone else's behalf. The devs accepted the payment, they weren't forced to. The dude that made the video isn't obligated to shout them out (could he have? Sure, but it isn't a must). This hive mind comment mentality is literally pissing me off, everyone is saying the same thing like a bunch of sheep.
These games are worth what they were paid for (i'd even say the third one is worth less than $25, seems rather half baked and pretty much got smashed by the 2nd game).
@kelvin303 FR! I keep seeing these people saying, "Give credit or pay them" more or something even though that was not the point of the video.

This was an unusual video, usually these fiverr videos follow an increased price format where the freelancers are priced in an increasing manner, ie. $5 - $50 - $500.
The most unusual part is that you had a sponsor and yet you decided to lowball the devs and didn't even credit them. Kinda scummy if you ask me.
Agreed
I can understand people being upset about the lack of credit whatsoever. But outside of that, the rest were all the developers' choices. They set the price. They made their bed.
If I had created the second game, at least I would have charged 100 bucks.
It was amazing for $10.

Why put credits ? He paid them, you don't need to credits when you paid for a service

@@zanguusu also, every game have credits for it developers. Even a big one. They don't just say "made by company" they mentioned every developer which been involved. Even if they already been paid.

He does not need to
The fact he mentioned turning the second game into a full game just pissed me off so much. I hope your sponsor drops you.
the second game was solid af. I feel like the creator has been doing short gigs like this for a while now and has many tricks up his sleeve to creating short simple games fast
I cant believe that this guy was SPONSORED and somehow got away with paying a person 25 dollars at the most for a game, and had the gull to not credit them. This feels so wrong. They got no reward, not even credit and a shout out, for their work. The cherry on top of this mess is the clickbait title.
No reward?? They got paid for the amount they asked for. If the devs wanted more money they should have charged him more, it’s not his fault. The only thing I agree with is the credits. If they added there names to the games that’s fine. But he payed for those games and that’s now his, he doesn’t need to credit them in the description

The guy who created second must be really desperate. That game looked so good.
Also, I actually think the third game developer created the game "literally" described in your brief: An Endless run *platform* game..
I dont that guy is desperate, but yeah that's way too overkill for $10
Pretty sure he's just trying to get 5 stars and build up a reputation. As he gets more 5 stars, people will be willing to pay more so this is probably just to set the foundation.
@@anothereden6673 we should give him more than 5.. the 2nd actually good
Reply to Comment by Kartik Bhagat
imo all 3 games were worth much more than the spent $ amount... even with expert experience it takes you quite a while to even create a platform runner
The third game would have been a lot more interesting with one change. The platforms are hexagons, much smaller, and with several more of them on screen at once. So that you're always in danger of falling into a hole, and not exactly sure where the path is going.
Furthermore, after reading several other comments, I agree about crediting the developers. However, everyone needs to realise that the prices were agreed upon before development, and the prices were integral to the experiment. If the developers were not OK with the amounts they were paid, then they wouldn't have accepted the job.
He bargained to a lower price than what the standard is. Like the guy said in the video, they will typically run you 1k. This man paid 1% of the typical price for these games. This just shows how desperate these fiver devs are.
@@rosslewerenz9360 10 dollars is a lot in three world countries.
That second game has a LOT of potential, I would contact that developer and continue with further development, give them $1000 and see what they can do with it.
Mad respect to the unnamed developers who got paid next to nothing and made decent and functioning games in one week. Only for them to be used in this clickbait and money grabbing video.

@@Tab54o Nah, they do it because they have no choice
Ikr!
@@tonirak241 no
They do it to get a good rating on fiverr, which allows them to charge more next time... but it doesn't work, because there are always new people who need to do the same thing.
You low balled them so hard, it hurts when artist don’t value their own work, even the title screen of one game is worth more than what you paid them all in total.
As I'm working at an indie game studio, I can tell you that every job under 25 USD/hour is a ripoff. For 10 USD, I wouldn't even start working on a prototype.
they are just modifying existing templates. also in india and nearby countries 10$ is actually a decent amount
tbh fiverr is really for building porfolios as you learn how to make games, whilst getting a little extra cash on the side. I can't imagine they're really trying to make an actual living working for $10 a game.
Yeah, I wish more people would sell their art for what it's actually worth. It would even out the market a little bit to for others who do sell their art for what it's worth, but not getting any sales because those who are just as good as them or better are selling their work for basically nothing.
oh man, if they only had a choice to decline the offer am I right? :(
I feel bad for the 2nd dev, that deserves a minimum 100-150 dollars
But he accepted it tho…
The second game honestly looked like an actual steam indie game
It feels really weird to me that you did not credit these creators. You should at the very least put their username in the description.
I agree. They’re already selling themselves short.
I thought the same thing at first, but I am also kind of afraid if he did credit them a lot more people would be offering $10 to make a game thats worth a lot more than 10 dollars.
@@agafaba nah, they would raise the price in an instant. Basic supply-demand stuff. It will always be a great thing for them to get publicities like this, so it's a shame he didn't put credits.
@@tessellationarts2971 I was thinking more like they would get spammed with junk requests.
@@agafaba that's what they wanted in the first place by taking crap pays. Literally the first step on how to increase your prices = get demands up
The results are actually insane for what BadGameDev paid, even if the games were built with boilerplate/template code and free assets. Anybody thinking otherwise has, in my opinion, no clue of what it takes to develop something comparable to the games in this video.
Honestly, I wouldn't even start my IDE for those prices. People seem to have unrealistic expectations because of all the competitive platforms like fiverr where developers work for way too little money.
What language or framework is used for the first two games tho. I can tell the last one is likely unity.
I am not sure about the pricing part. I might accept the first project for 10$ using python pygame. Tho not the second one.
@@ashrafibrahim4934 the technology would depend on what the creator offers and what BadGameDev specified in his request. If no technology was mentioned, it wouldn't be strange for a creator in this price range to choose whatever they like. A creator in a more realistic price range should ask for more information.
Where I'm from, a software developer charges 50 - 150 euro per hour, depending on education, function and experience. If, for the sake of this argument, we take 50% of the lowest rate, we'd have an hourly rate of 25 euro. Which means that the total development time (including the art etc.) has to be 24 minutes (= 60 ÷ (25 ÷ 10)) to be profitable for a developer where I am from that charges 10 euro. This is also not taking into account that the developer also has to interpret the request and chat with the client.
In my opinion and based on where I'm from, the developers did an amazing job, even if most of the code would be available on github or CZcams videos. It fulfilled the needs of the client for a low price.
*edit: Added the calculation for the 24 minutes.
That is what I think. Just starting Unity and dealing with emails back and forth from a customer is $10.
Yeah I am amazed any of them accepted. The only reason I would accept it is if I had a template ready to go that I could modify a bit with some free assets and send within 30 minutes to an hour and even then I would want at least $20
These guys were paid ridiculously low for such awesome work.
thanks for a two minute ad you will never hear from me again
Same this guy clickbaited us + gave us a long ass ad
You should 100% Credit the devs in your description. It's mind boggling that you haven't done it yet, especially with how little you paid for the games. It makes it looks like you just used them for your own profit without any respect for the craft.
Yeah this guy is a prick. There's no way he hasn't seen all the comments demanding that he credit the creators, yet he still doesn't bother to. Would literally take him 5 seconds to send some business their way, if not less.
Yeah I will leave my dislike
I mean wtfh people.There are no abused devs here.He paid exactly 0$.The reason he does not link the devs is that he just made 3 mini games himself and he is using the fiverr trend on youtube to get views lmao.
It's almost like he did do it for the profit look man Devs got paid he got his product he in no way needs to credit anyone unless he feels like he should or the Devs wanted to be credited as part of there agreement people seem to forget that both parties hold Equal power the seller more so actually
retweet!
I scammed 3 different programmers and THIS happened!!
Srsly tho this is a sign the market is getting oversaturated. I'm hoping the programmers were either highschoolers or just grabbed a template off an asset store to get a quick addition to their portfolio.
@PrimeVids Yeah Indians pay like $20-50 a month for rent in some areas, which is crazy. No wonder they undercut every market. Granted their standard of living is pretty low.

Depends on how much of the work was done for the client.
Or was the work done for another client who paid for it and it was just reskinned and re-sold.
Funny thing about the internet, you probably have no idea the real story.......... so why assume other peoples business.

@@johndorian4078 No one is assuming anything, people are just demanding fair payment for fine work. You're the only one here making up stories to justify under paying these people.
Wow, i am shocked and surprised at the same time. I wonder how many devs do outsource their work to fiverr to enjoy more spare time.
"most friendly game engine" *laughs in 5 years of pizza tower development hell*
The first game felt like a flash game, the second felt like a full release, and the third felt like one of those Unity games with fun physics.
Overall, The thumbnail was not only clickbait, but those 3 poor devs were definitely heavily underpaid for their work. I don't think I would be happy only giving them so little money for their work, and not even giving them credit either.
That's the worst part about it, he didnt even bother to credit them. It would have take like 5 mins if that to add their fiver account name over the gameplay and analysis of their game... At least then he would ad least be giving them some kind of "exposure." He better have given them a five star review though to help boost them on the website.
@@Alice-si8uz add to that that the first 2 minutes of the video were about sponsored content.
I know he's not obliged to do it, but I was hoping he would tip them after mentioning his raving reviews... Even other "I paid people on Fiverr for X" videos that paid a cheap base price for entertainment remember to tip them, especially for the ones underselling themselves.
If I got taken advantage of, I wouldn't want my name plastered online to shame me.
@@EdKolis They did good deeds, thinking they were doing him a favor- as he wanted a game done but lacked the funds. That's commendable, if anything.

you're the one who clearly has never made a game, only people who dont know anything about game development would think that game's dev has put any sort of effort in the game
How dare you not even link the people who made the games to give them some increased business traffic after a job well done. a very VERY underpaid job well done.
The video concept was intriguing and you very well knew that. This video was gold in a bottle and you knew it and didn't even decide to pay them well. The fact you have the audacity to put in your thumbnail a large sum of money vs a low sum and then just pay them all pocket change is deplorable.
And the fact that this video was sponsored which gave you a large cash sum upfront before the video was even out is just the extra slap in the face to everyone involved.
Absolutely Disgraceful.
I will use your comment as a dislike button for the video. Very well said
I agree. I would have loved to have seen another game at a much higher price point and the people who made these nifty games for pocket change deserve some credit.
This is just terrible. 10$/hour would've been ok. It's just theft.
LOL
these games would probably be free on any platform anyway, unless they put more polish into the games they are just unfinished prototypes. $10 is generous for a game that should be free. you also assume that these people are full-time game devs that have no other source of income. however, I do agree with your point that it is dirty to show in the thumbnail large sums of money while only paying small amounts. He should at least link these peoples pages so that they can thrive in the game dev community.
Me: I will pay you $10 to make gta 6 🤣🤣😂
please pay these guys more money
ok i could actually see the 2nd game being a decent quality mobile game, or just a quick flash game, the 2nd one was by far much more high quality then needed
Metal slug vibes ngl
@@justamanofculture12 yeah, put levels (campaign & free run), shop system, upgrade system, a little story, voila a casual mobile game
4IA01_Hisyam Rahmadian I think it would work better as an arcade style game
for 10 or 25$ literally anything would be great, I hope you at least gave them a big fat tip. They not only worked on these games for a laughable amount of money, probably in the hopes of getting future business with you, but also provided you with the entire content for your sponsored video.
Honestly, probably didn't. Their link isn't even in the description, there's no credit. Agreeing to $10 and $25 is severly underpaying these people who probably just don't know how to price their own work.
@@liviasurjadi6705 law of supply and demand. If they start getting more offers, they will simply stop accepting 10$ and demand more
@@kartman146 Ah yes, the free market. The perfect excuse for exploiting people without feeling remorse. How about a little empathy, you realize there are humans behind these accounts right?
@@TackerTacker most sellers on fiverr live in poor third world countries, so $20 is a lot for them
@@oooooba8343
Sounds like "No, these people are from poor countries so they don't deserve more money.".
don't know of any country were 20 dollars in a week is a lot of money. Also, how is that an excuse not for tipping or linking to their fiverr page?
I love the background of the second game. The layering for depth. Nice. Very polished and detailed.
this was some bad gamedev business
You should credit the fiverr artists that made thsese game, they actually made playable stuff for 10 bucks, so the least you could do is to credit them
This was a fun video, but I gotta say you kind of ruined it for me with that click bait thumbnail, making it seem like you would be hiring someone for $1000 and also that it would be 3d games
EDIT: I think some of the comment's under this are overly harsh, I don't think there is any need to throw this youtube channel under the bus, I was trying to give some constructive feedback.
I feel the same too... clearly a bad use of click bait.
Exactly my thoughts
came here to say this. not a good first impression i got from this channel
Was looking for these comments. Felt the same way.
Alright guys! Let’s give the thumbs down!
They all did a great job tbh
They look really fun for something so simple.
Thumbs up for the developers in your video, thumbs down for you not giving them the exposure they deserve.
He bought the game
@@blizzard4551 but at what costs!!?. The youtuber just paid penny and took benefit of some game dev poor condition and himself did a sponser video getting hudred of dollars
@@gameginger5529 look here if that guy was an amatuer the game dev would have gotten a real job experience which he can add to his portfolio for more jobs, honestly you can make this game like its a hobby as well and you don't even know the game devs situation for you to look out for them.
@@blizzard4551 he underpaid the game
@@blizzard4551 you have a different opinion against everyone, thats fine so just be what you want i guess, but still, the youtuber should have give credit to the game devs to help their reputation and make them grow famous which will be a win win situation
as a fiver seller , i recommend the people that did the games not to price themselves for that again , and to the client not to be a cheap rat.
Yeah, even if it is just copy and pasting assets there is still to consider when it comes to making some like this... Just because your skill level means it doesnt take as long to do a task doesnt mean you should charge less for it due to that.
It might have taken them only a few minutes to make these, but I agree on the price being too low.
@@SC-dm1ct maybe it did take a few minutes to make ,, but remember it can take years of studying and experience to do that ina a few minutes
@@marambaia2002 Oh, I agree. But that's true for most trades/professions. It's easier to sell a finished product than the labor that goes into it.
I wanted to make a game and in my mind I'm like I need to have 1 mil us and here this guy paying 10-25 usd... dang lol
Beside I had thought to get a game like these will range from 100- upward
I actually genuinely want to play the second one, especially if I had an arcade stick
alternative title: I low-balled game developers, then didn't credit them :)
For how much you paid, you should’ve at least credited them for their work!
Offering someone 10 $ for this work is pure disrespect.
Exactly
@S α ɾ ԃ ι ɳ α Read my comment again.
@S α ɾ ԃ ι ɳ α Just because the developers are open to such exploitation doesn't mean you have to exploit them.
@@waffleyumboyr5342 They can just say no...
@@waffleyumboyr5342 noones exploiting them. Besides he copy pasted code why are u acting like he poured his heart out into that fiver gig worth 10 $?
Basically you paid people to give you games they already developed and half of the video is an ad.
Took that Fiverr sponsor money, spent $30 & pocketed the rest. Absolute scallywag
as a game developer... i would charge at least 200$ for the second game based on the content and the amount of time i had to deliver. personally i would say its an old project the owner didn't cherish anymore
Please stop undercutting real developers with your $hitty pricing. You’re collapsing an entire market.
Same I would pay few hundreds to own that game, add some more interesting mechanics and you can sell it on mobile platforms
@@ConernicusRex the developers weren’t just selling a game, they were selling the rights to edit and redistribute them. If this guy used the second game as a base and resold it on steam, $200 would be nothing in comparison.
Even 200 seems low to me.
mm yes I would also pay $200 for assets
Should ask them if you can link their fiverr on the vid. Gives them some extra traction. Especially nice since they did it for such a low price.
Epically the second guy. He deserves more than 10 bucks.
Honestly that's a bit like responding to the observation that you're selling products at a loss, but are going to make it up in volume.
They do it for the low price because they need the ratings that's how it works on fiver you low ball yourself after you get a decent amount of 5 stars you can up your price
@@oguzkaan8908 second guy just remodeled a already existing tutorial on the exact game but alrigjt
Neat how different they all were
Actually the second game and for only 10$?, that’s literally insane because it was soooo good, the movement is so smooth, the design itself is amazing, the only thing i think it’s missing is, dropped weapons and maybe mysterious power like jump higher, or shield for 10 seconds stuff like that.
Literally suitable for app store game👍🏼
- Clickbait thumbnail
- Maliciously underpaying game devs despite this being a sponsored video
- Not crediting or shouting out the devs or linking to their Fiverr gigs
- No tipping the devs
- Profiting off of someone else's hard work after bargaining with them to work for almost nothing
I thought the same thing. Plus the first 3 minutes of this video he's promoting the software he uses. These guys must have all put hours of work into these games, basically for absolutely nothing.
You act like the devs did not have the option to say no. They did the work for a price they agreed to because nobody else would hire them for more. If they keep doing cheap projects, they will be able to charge more. It is about the long game, not just one odd job.
The devs set the price
@@DanielDroegeShow Maybe, but the fact that he didn't even give a shout out to the devs, after paying them peanuts is just a total lack of respect.
@@eclecticjon1019 True, or perhaps he wasn't able to gain their permission to be featured in the video. As far as the world is concerned, he is the creator of these game assets because they also gave him the rights iirc.
10 dollar one should be paid more
both of the 2d games were 10$
@@fyoozhn i meant 2nd one
@@petar14 bro

Second game is so polished. 10$ is so low for this talented developer.
Because it's stolen from the Pygame Scrolling Shooter tutorial here on youtube by Coding With Russ.
the thumbnail showed 10$ vs 1000$ ... Still waiting for the 1000$ game promised in the thumbnail
-clickbait thumbnail

"-profiting of the devs hard work" you mean what every company that makes video games has done since they were invented?
@@DanielDroegeShow no i what i meant that he paid 10 dollars for the game and made more money with this video. He didnt even credit them.
@@badactor9628 If I hire someone to build me a deck, and people come over and say, "Oh that is a really nice deck, man!" I can say, "Thanks" without attributing the work to the individual I hired to do the job I told them to do.
this is so stupid lol im your being saved by the comment character limit
Bad Actor the devs agreed, sooooooo
this is an insult to devs. $10 for that much work is just a spit in the face, even if it took them an hour (which i doubt it did) it's just pocket change.
and like a lot of others have commented, the least you could do (cuz i guess you can't pay them more) is to give them a shoutout
He can pay them more. He just doesn't want to. Literally just not eating out a single MEAL in the U.S.A. would give him $15-$80 extra to tip them.
Don't forget there's also a 20% fee on workers so he gets paid even less.
that not hes problem that the developer price theres nothing he can do about it
@@randomyoutuber3355 Fiverr allows tipping, iirc
You could throw these on the app store with an ad every 30 seconds
Man, the second one is almost a full playable game.
1. The thumbnail is complete clickbait, showing a completely different style of game with a COMPLETELY different $ amount.
2. Almost 20% of the video is sponsored content, and it looks like all the effort went into the ad.
3. You didn't credit any of the devs, and still haven't in the description or comments weeks later (but you did make sure to comment another link to your sponsor).
This video looked like a cheap, rushed cash-in on a popular Fiverr video trend. Sorry to be blunt, but that is the what I see here, and after 14 years on this site, I can tell when there was actual passion put in the content.
Actually true
I was looking forward to seeing the games in the thumbnail, although I knew it wouldn't be $1000
Same
Only part i disagree with is 3, unless in the agreement he does not owe anyone to put a link to fiverr in the description.
@@Disatiere Why? This is about doing what's right not what's stipulated in the agreement, just because you can get people to work for shitty pay doesn't mean that it's okay because this isn't exactly just a simple transaction, it's someone's income that they need to survive.
You should make the Fiverr devs easily known so that you can help drive up their business especially dev #2. I looked in the description hoping to learn more but was disappointed to see no reference to them.
I dont know why dev 2 is getting so much love, is it the stock assets?
Are people really not understanding the simple nature of it?
Are they just overestimating the amount of work 2 put in?
Like as someone whos worked on games im honestly confused what draws people to the second one.
@@Disatiere It just looks fun to play lol
@@ihaveenoughtodoandenoughtoeat I guess? but considering that there isnt any more to it the replayabality is incredibly low.
This is why these kinda endless runner game susuallly share elements with rogue lites where you can upgrade stuff or even a variety of levels and enemis
Or even just powerups that can spawn alongside enemies.
@@Disatiere You know how when you were a little kid and you played stupid flash games and shit for hours? Like that, there isn't anything other than yeah that looks fun
We got monkey brains bro lol big number = fun
@@ihaveenoughtodoandenoughtoeat And those games had exactly the kind of replayabality valuable i am bringing up, at least usually.
And were still a lot more complex than that. On top having custom made graphics
Feel like the All the devs deserve a shoutout. This just felt like you took advantage of 3 people so you could run an ad.
Game 2 definitely worth 100$ and and 3 definitely worth 130$
Honestly it would be great if you had showed who those sellers are by maybe showing their usernames? Or linking it in the description
True could've helped their businesses more
Agreed, I think they deserve recognition
@@imannatasha3302 oooooor it can help BadGameDev's businesses by NOT showing devs names?
The second game was incredible - it looks like a game from a commercial studio in the mid-90's like the ones I grew up playing. Add a couple of selectable weapons, different enemy types and a soundtrack and you've got a real game there.
All the fiverr devs definitely deserve shout outs but especially the middle one.
people would like to shout out their middle finger to the youtuber because the devs didnt get any credits
so glad i used adblock to watch this
I can't believe these people worked for that price.
I would pay more for the second game on steam than he paid to have it created. It looks so impressive
The third one wasn’t what I expected but a really good concept!
You cant just pay devs 10 dollars for a game. You are really underpaying them, please pay them more in the future!
They literally accepted the price, it's truly up to them 😆anyone who spends that kind of time to make $5 is a tit
glad i am not the only one who thought that offering people 5 to 25$ for a "sponsored" video was a little cheap.
