Making Window Washing Fun - Kajam (Game Jam Devlog)

"It doesn't require me to stare at walls of text and write a ton of syntax" -while staring at a wall of text and inputting fields that are basically syntax. Come on Vim! You're one of us!

“Good Clean Fun” would have also been a great name for the game!

This could work really well in a multiplayer environment where one person/team cleans and the other person/team has to "re-dirty" them.
The winner/s are the team with the highest number of windows (either clean or dirty depending on their goal)

This game feels great! So is yet another Vimlark's gamejam devlog. You made big progress especially in terms of not overscoping projects. Practice makes perfect :)

Easter eggs are awesome! Would strongly encourage you to include them in future games as time allows :) One of your cleanest games to date. (no pun intended.) Really fun to see your process and skills continue to improve from one jam to the next.

Dang those windows are really dirty. I don't even want to know what happened that they ended up this dirty. I love your interpretation of the theme and it looks like a really fun game to play. I personally would have loved some randomness, like wind for example, but you can't please everyone I guess hahaha. Great video as always!

This game is awesome, I loved the forgotten jump pad.

I was so suprised to see my own jam submission be the first game on screen ':D
Great and informative video as always Vimlark!

Such a cool concept! And amazingly executed as always :) Love the art. Super nice retro feel!

Just gotta say this games art look so good! Super impressed with how it looks in such a short amount of time!

Would be cool if you had the opening shot of the building be in 3D using C3's new 3D Camera, with the camera slowly panning down from the bottom all the way to the top. wouldn't be too hard to just texture a 3D shape with the window layout, add some extra objects for the ledges, and then just seamlessly switching to a 2D layout once the camera gets to the top. would probably take a while, but would be super cool!

I really enjoyed this vid. Would love to see the outcome of your game jam games.

Love your vids, love stopping by the stream every once in a while, wish I had the time and effort to make these kinds of games.

Great vid! Watching your videos is like a daily routine now for me. Also, I just started game dev like 2 weeks ago on construct and you were one of my main inspirations!

One of your best games imo, great design and looks amazing to play!

id love to see youtubers trying to get as high a score as possible, or speedrun like challenges, especially since the game is so visually satisfying!

An awesome game as always :)
Good to see you getting back to the game dev

Awesome idea for the game Vimlark! A quick question, when is the next update video coming out for MWG? 👀

What a wonderfully unique idea. I like how you keep adding more and more functionality to the game as you go. The fall speed condition is a genius idea 👍

I always enjoy your game jam videos and seeing how your games come together and I don't know why but this one just really put a smile on my face. I think its because recently I've been trying to make my own game and struggling with everything that comes with the process, so seeing you develop this game and seeing how it well it turned out just really made me happy for you.

There's only one difference between vim and me that is, I madly love programming!

Amazing game as always Vimlark!

Another video so soon again? The gods have blessed us.

I think you really nailed this one. The looks, the sound, the theme, the polish it's all there! It actually looks like a fun little mobile game.

It was fun participating in that jam, and I 100% definitely obviously won!

I wanted to participate so bad but school got the best of me, I love replit and use it all the time for js coding!

I like your thinking process, you made everything possible to stick to the scope and make everything as efficient as possible. It looks like a good recipe for success in game jams and other time / budget limited projects. I also played the game, very good indeed. I will follow this channel from now on, great job Sir.

Brilliant idea for the jam!

This game is a candidate to be a cabinet in somene's game room all by itself

You should made like a slingshot so the player could choose where to drop from

You are making games really good and i can't thats why i want to be a gamedeveloper as good as you. Thanks for inspiring me

Vimdad is the gamjam king.
Long live the king!

Any plans on sticking on a single long term project again? Game jams are fun and all, but I cant really be emotionally attached to any of them for more than the 15 minutes of the video. Following the design process of something bigger feels much more rewarding.

Cool video. 👍

Ideas in the game:
* Big windows, it would give it more asymetry and breaks the monotonous and repetetive gameplay. The levels can be accessed after getting a certain amount of points.
* Levels with unique buildings, for example the first level would be the building in the video, the next one would be an unstable and snake like building, and so on. The last building can be a dictator's mansion and you're an agent, or even a an alien mother ship where it's in the sky.
* Multiple playable characters, make other playable characters with different cleaning techniques, I thought of a scrubbing guy (the one in the video), a sprayer girl that shoots soapy water spheres and is the ranged character, and a dog that had a jetpack that moves faster, unfortunately he doesn't have a parachute so you need to use the jetpack to go up again.
That's all I can think of, for now.

Really awesome game, I took part in the jam but unfortunately didn't publish my game(no it's not cause it was unfinished or overscoped) I just kinda lost faith in my project and just quit the jam. And this is like 5th time in a row or so I did this. IDK what I am doing wrong but as soon as the jam is about to end I just quit cause I think the game isn't perfect enough or I assume that I could have done it better. Any suggestions on how I should proceed without abandoning games like that would help alot...

Vimlark i love your channel but one criticism i have is that most of your game jam games dont have anything to do with the theme, just a reminder to think of mechanics and not superficial stuff like being in a building lol

Amazing Video!

I love the game

Is it just me or is this the same concept as Fix It Felix in Wreck it Ralph

I was really hoping that ‘Brock and The Glock’ at 12:57 was a reference but sadly it’s just a coincidence

Madeline window cleaning service.

I remember when replit used to be called repl.

" i don't think it's possible"..... challenge accepted

never hear about replit, it souds cool!

I may be wrong, but think it's pronounced as 2 words, "repl it," as in use a REPL for your code. REPL it

Nice!!

vim, huh?
so i guess your name is "vi improved"

Cool :D

I like the idea but I really can't look at the gameplay to long because my eyes really hurt (don't know why....)

I see my stream avatar! 4:30 :D

Eye Toy made window washing fun

Omg…bro I had an idea just like this, we’re you window wash, but like it’s in a murdere house…I thought of this before this video came out, do I have your permission to make that game and still release it, it will be different still

nice ;D

Found a glitch: If you dash into an elevator, once it gets to the top, you can't get out.

Mojang confirmed!?!?!111

ᴡᴏɴᴅᴇʀғᴜʟ 😍💋😘
