i LOVE the 'snap out of imagination' mechanic SO MUCH it's like your experience of a videogame in microcosm, you want to keep playing and continue being immersed and the punishment for failing something is the breaking of that immersion so your experience of the game is actively trying to stay in the flow - absolutely love that kind of meta-ludonarrative stuff and i'd LOVE a game that really leant into that concept
Imagine when you are moving its all cliffs bridjes stuff like that and when you fall it becomes furniture :)
Sounds like a good concept for a VR/AR game. Have your menu be just an AR menu in your real (or scanned) room, then when you start, things turn into something more fantastical. You "die", you get thrust out into your play space.
"Fran Bow" is a horror game by "KillMonday Games" that does something similar
The idea of going in and out of your imagination is really cool! I saw the theme of “It is not real” said “my entry” and left. 😆 was not feeling creative that week.
"Jump on furniture to get though"
Really really cool game idea and solid design 😊
This is one of the games that I think would make a good full game if you were to upgrade it. It looks like if it was given some more levels, furniture, and bug fixes, it could be really professional
Well... Now you have the idea. You can make a full game out of it. :)
Yeahh
I agree
This is brilliant! The game looks really polished and you can really see how it could be expanded into a full game with the groundwork already set up:-
-Moving platform rumbas
-Platforms that require an extra action to change its size/shape to progress (e.g. activate a recliner)
-Even add imaginary enemies (e.g. "oh no lava bats!" Or "oh no, snakes!")
If you wanted to go extra, you could even throw in sibling rivals you race, platforms that disappear in the lava, or parents/'lava golems' you can't let see/catch you haha
I think, aesthetically, one thing that would be cool is if you could have the tileset look different in the lava world vs the real world - like a rocks shaped like couches etc. to really accentuate the difference in reality.
Brilliant game for your jam - super inspiring!
this has been genuinely one of my favorite games of yours! its a little tough at first but over time you get better at the game and ugh- you could genuinely make this into a mini release game with a little polishing and it would be super fun, id certainly buy it. Awesome to see you grow in your skills I just wish you had more views as the content you're putting out in both videos and in your games are always fantastic
There was one idea i did for the game jam which I was surprised no one else did: counterfeit. I made a game where you are a manufacturer of a big company, and your company is recieving so many other products from around the globe, and your job is to throw out the counterfeit products while the conveyor is running.
This was the first game jam I ever participated in! Happy to watch this
That's a pretty neat game idea! This was the first jam that I participated in, and it was a lot of fun.
what position did you rank in?
@@giosee_ Sorry for the late reply, I got 722th. Not tooooo bad for a first '\_(._.)_/'
Great video. I love the idea of the room snapping back to normal when you fall!
one more great game for the mustache man's records! nicely done!
As always I'm continuously impressed by how you manage to make such a polished final product in such a short time. Your devlogs are also all super entertaining to watch!
Great work on the game, 19th place was well deserved it seems so simple yet it works so effectively!
Another amazing job by Vimlark! You are really good at what you do.
i love the .io game idea lol
The Brackey's Game Jam games are always the coolest! :)
You among some other Game/Art Making CZcamsrs have inspired me to try Pixel Art. I’m really enjoying it. I’m currently making just basic stuff and watching tutorials here and there and I’ve learned a lot. I’m not making anything I’d consider professional but it takes time. I’m generally happy with what I’ve made and I just wanted to thank you for the great content as well!
Hey! A new video from the one and only Vimlark. Good to see. 😉
I need to drop by a stream some time. 👍
This was so fun to play! Great to see improvements on a concept you have done before, the top down platformer has great potential!
You make such entertaining dev logs and games. It’s such an inspiration. I hope I can get to this level one day. Thanks for so much good content over the years.
Something that would be cool is that when You snap out , the music changes into a more sad/ mysterious one
I know it’s late but this could really be a full, $20-30 game with enough levels
It has an amazing concept
Love the SNHU sponsor, such a great thing to be sponsored by
"Try jumping in
the lava
You know you
wan to"
I played this game a lot! I loved the tutorial area the most.
The second I heard that theme I thought horror game where it’s all in your head and you slowly go insane over the course of the game
I gotta say, I know it's not the most original idea ever (though it's far from common!), but your concept of having the player just in the game even in the main menu is so well done. Even before you added polish, as soon as I saw that part of the game, I was hooked.
Awesome video! I missed it first time around. Take care of yourself and take as much time as you need for yourself :)
love the game, great idea, the way you implemented the theme is incredible, amazing work overall
I played the floor of lava so much in primary school lol so its cool to see it in a game you made!
SUPPORT THIS DUDE! He makes one of the best dev blogs. Keep the work dude!
Such an amazing concept
Yay another video!!!
Love your videos dude.
Super nice game and congrats for the high rank on this game jam :)
that's a nice theme ranking you got there.
I loved this game, period.
Thats really cool!
12:50 nice theme
i could imagine a lot of games being cake themes because of the saying “the cake is a lie” which is close enough to “it is not real”
Funny idea, like how it tourned out.
If you can only get back on platforms with bounce pads, it would make more sense to only have the roomba move when you're on the carpet, so you don't have to reprogram the movement, and because the character could imagine that the roomba is broken
2 things here:
1. really good game
2. I like that main menu style. It should become the next step in game evolution in general.
I just completed my first year at SNHU. Weird to see it as a video sponsor here
This family has a lot of couches
Hey Vimlark another great vid i hope u are doing good with ur axiety when stuff gets stressful i will be sure to join ur next stream on Saturday and will submit one of my games
Hopefully I can be part of 2022.2
Ik i missed this one
Vimlark, I played this game some time ago, didn't know you haven't made a video about it! I like the gameplay, the acceleration is a little bit off though.
Great game and concept. You so needed to make the player bounce when landing on sofas. 😆👊
Got a long way to go to play with the big boys.
ayyy this is sick!
Awesome Vimlark it looks so cute
Wow nice!
Yeah I think this game is actually satisfying to play
YES YOU FINALLY DID A DEVLOG TYPE THING WOO HOO
we have got wood and sofa which can't burn. nice futuristic tech.
verry very verrryyy very cool!
“Ur in a simulation” who else saw this?
boss idea: bird, you dodge it and if you get hit by it or touch the lava you imagination breaks - and the bird disappears.
I really like the "menu"
SNAP BACK TO REALITY is what this develop made me think of thanks for making me only able to think about that song. jk
id be surprised if there wasnt a game about cake
nice vid
Fun game
when u add strafing etc like in quake 3, this is gonna be a huge success.
Is it just me or did this remind you of Season 5 Episode 5 of Community (geothermal escapism).
Awesome video as usual! Does anyone know any really good courses on Construct 3 of a high quality? Has Vim made any yet?
Cool! Really reminds me of your game Oh Rats!
i played a game from the jam and you are a machine bird LOL
Thay 3rd person game you shouted out might be getting another download later on
I thought the lava disappearing was a very innovative idea, so I was a little surprised, that it got the worst rating in innovation, but I havn't seen the other projects for contrast, so I assume, it was because the game is "just a simple platformer".
Nice
I’m now curious if a top down game would be better to forgo jumping and just use dashing
11:57 Jump on the furniture to get though?
When MWG Devlog
"snap back reality"
4:50 I've heard of this game before
yeah you are good at drawing monkeys
Hey, could you please make some tutorials on construct 3, cause I don’t know how you make these games with construct 3 this good!!!
Did this man say, “A bugbear that I have…” ???
Yea, it's kind of like a pet peeve. Also a great D&D monster.
I'd make it so when you fall and are on the floor for a certain amount of time you lose, like you don't feel like playing anymore
69th in theme niiiiiiiice
cool
Can you make a level builder for this game
Commenting for the algorithm
If I were to give one criticism it would be that the character looks like they’re constantly sitting down in a chair and trying to run. It’s not a bad thing though the game is super creative and I want to play it at some point!
Birds aren't real can confirm, they run awau before I can even touch them to hide the truth
i need to know ho wyou get those little monkey things walking around the stream. i stream on twitch sometimes and since i am 14 i dont like showing my face. it would be nice to have something to make up for that lost space. please and thank you.
Add more levels!!
Theme - IT IS NOT REAL
Birds
It is not real; "Birds" got me cracking up
the game is hard
wow...
When are you doing mwg I miss mwg
when are you going to work on monkeys with guns again
Was working on it yesterday on stream actually. Not sure when the next devlog will be out but sometime soon hopefully.
seriously dude what happened to monkeys with guns? is it still being developed by ur friend and u? or is it put on hold or did u cancel it?
Very cool, even if I'm a year late :/
I feel like the camera is too zoomed in. Can't plan your steps on the go. I think jump and distances between objects should be more modest, this way sprites will still be big enough to be pleasant to look at.
lava bad
very slippery controls
