      I apologise in advance for my toxicity but I'm more frustrated every time I watch. What a wonderful fuckup! Turning a creative original quirky challenging-to-learn game into a smooth easy boring rehashed 3D pacman/NFS which no one will ever actually play or learn to overcome. And you inevitably have someone in there who does nothing for the game but overturn everyone else's visuals to his own preferred style. To make this type of dev challenge make sense each dev should be able to peg 2 things that cannot change - like the first dev could have pegged the controls and the cart. Yes the cart is difficult but it adds to the creativity and challenge.

      I would have tried adding an invisible marble to act as the central move agent and then had the cart jointed to that and then made the dragon jointed as well but more of a visualization (moving left and right but does nothing). The ball does all the moving and the cart just flaps around in tow. I was disappointed to see the cart go as well but I agree that it either works fast or gets cut fast.

    I've noticed the projects that turn out the best are the ones where Dev #1 already has a clear gameplay loop in mind. If the idea isn't well defined enough or is just basically a single mechanic or some sprites, the other devs will waste all of their time making and remaking the base game over and over again. But if the base is there and it's good, they can actually be creative and add features.

      ​@@P3dotme This. It wasn't readily apparent in how they edited their videos, but the rickshaw - while it would have been a fun physics-based mechanic differentiating it from a childhood of crazy taxi - seemed to be very broken and the movement overall too difficult.
      That said, I do think this kind of challenge should have them respect the attempt to not just use a standard "WSAD" movement system, and instead tried to at least keep that odd "control wing" one, maybe fixing it if it had any issues we didn't see.
      ps: as for the rickshaw, I feel like it is a shame they put too much focus on trying to get a controller for it, when a more physics-based approach would have solved it easily: Connect with a spring like they did, but only have it apply forces to the rickshaw, not the player (or at least lower such 'reactionary' forces greatly, so you don't feel flung around by it unless more extreme situations happens than a slight turn or bump). Then, instead of trying to apply any forces to keep it on the ground or angle correctly behind dragon, just *_add a "drag" force to its end._* This would naturally slow it from flying around the dragon too much, and instead keep it behind the dragon unless you brake strongly. And overall make sure it faces right way. (another way to do it would be to have the rear repelled by the dragon, while the front slightly attracted (the spring likely being enough for that).
      Then maybe have a force discouraging it from not being right-side-up too (unless you want that to happen a lot), maybe through applying rotational forces to approach roll 0 (ie. pid controlled), or simply strong forces away from roll -180 (that quickly falls off as it is less upsidedown; this would make it able to easily wobble a lot, and even drive on a single wheel, but bounce back if it tries flipping over).
      There's a lot of other ways to go about things, but my point is that they shouldn't have bothered too much trying to get the rickshaw to be controlled, and instead embraced some of the chaotic nature of having it be a physics-body.

    absolutely lovely, it finally feels like this challenge was meant to be. finally we can see a project start one way, and see that the final version is an improvement of what it was at the beginning with the input of each dev building upon that foundation.
    finally we can see that the conversation between devs at the end is not an awkward "im glad my stuff is still in at least", while other devs had their contribution completely deleted and are invited to the chat anyway for some reason. now it's a reunion to celebrate how the project ended up being like with pretty much everyone's contribution being taken into account.
    "I'm so happy how it turned out" is the general vibe of the last talk now, a sentiment shared by everyone for a project everyone helped build. it's really nice to see we're finally at this point again.

  • @patlajanec
    @patlajanec Před 3 měsíci +9

    - Dev 1 (DataBlob) is an absolute monster, basically created a whole game for the other devs to expand upon instead of trying to figure out what to do (before eventually turning it into a wave-based tower defense).
    - Dev 2 (Wishbone) added a meaningful and interesting feature while maintaining the whole concept.
    - I'm not a huge fan of Dev 3 (Ignas) removing the cart while I felt like Dev 4 (Vitali) was too scared to change anything so ended up barely contributing at all.
    - Devs 5 (Zoteling) and 6 (Imiklowski) rounded up the game nicely by adding small features and polishing up the game.
    Overall, one of the better pass-the-game challenges, end result was pretty good and it was all made possible by having a single dev (DataBlob) determine a game loop and basic mechanics early on instead of leaving it for the others to figure it out on their own. Good job!

    I also enjoy how mechanically unique this game turned out. It seems humanity's collective brain tends to gravitate towards wave-based PvE when not given guidance, so getting a Crazy Taxi/Pacman hybrid is a really cool direction that stands out from the previous projects.

    Really good final product, establishing an actual game loop early is the way to go instead of just adding mechanics hoping the game loop will make itself, generally avoid tower defense and simulation type games, their game loops are so much harder to define compared to arcade games or level to level gameplay.
