4 Game Devs Jam Off the Same Art Kit (Devlog)

"we were both really surprised when I just chose the title oh rats"
ah yes, not understanding your own actions, true chaos.

Hey man! Love both videos, but you seemed a little hard on yourself during this Dev Log. We all make compromises and mistakes during jams, it's just a matter of whoever makes the least visible ones + an interesting idea.
Even if you aren't as big as some of the other indie dev youtubers, I think you've got charisma and voice talent that far surpasses those who are in the same bracket. Keep at it man.

Love this game jam style!

Vimlark: I need a title for my game about rats
Friend: Sorry didn't hear you, about what?
Vimlark: Rats
Friend: Oh rats... ummm...
Vimlark: Great I'll use that, thanks.
Friend: Wait what no

Always a blast watching these. Keep up the great work!

Cool stash man. And this is awesome, it's really cool to see you jam with this group, I hope there will be more!

i just watched the hosts video about it earlier today
i like your game but the snake game was the most unique

Great to see the skateboarding game you were talking about!
And Oh Rats, love how that turned out.
Gingers name for the win.

What a cool idea! A topdown platformer, that is something I cant think of any off the top of my head! So great work :D

Loved this! keep up the good work!

Really good video ive been waiting so long for this video especially since the first stream i ever saw was the third skateboard game stream and it turned out amazing so it was worth the wait

Congrats man 👌 i enjoy watching the misisisis channel and its awesome to see you tried out for the challenge

Great video as usual! Congratulations on 20k, Can’t wait for when you hit 100k!

Hi!
Love what you do!
I am really inspired by you to make my own game dev youtube channel!
Thanks to you I realised that there are engines without coding and now I can make my own games!
thanks for everything

I’m new and I love your videos! I am learning to code and I really like watching other people do it!

This is aweome! Do you have any tips for level design? I feel like your video style would make for a great tutorial on it... and I could also use the tips lol

Love your content. Really thought u got a ton more subs. Hope u get a ton more soon. :)

This video was super fun to watch! Don't know what pops out bout this one but I really enjoyed it!

I would really love if you also included the art file. Because i want to do the challenge myself

Vimlark, what exactly prevented you from adding the skate on the second game? It would be awesome!!! The plataforms on the second idea could perfectly work as intended... if you think about it, in the final game it actually looks like hes skating on a invisible board =P

This is such a sick idea!

Great video Vimlark, how did you divide your itch.io games into sections?
Thanks in advance

I love that your wife was the one who came up with the top-down platformer concept. It's one of those ideas that nobody too immersed into game dev would think of because "that's just not how things are done", but it's exactly that type of outside-the-box thinking that makes really unique games.

Haven't joined a game jam yet, but I'd love to join one where everyone uses the same assets! Sounds like a fun time

As a Construct user, I have a tip, I guess... with pixel art styles, it may be better to use grow rate instead of opacity to make particles disappear. With opacity, it may look kinda smooshy but with grow rate it looks like... yeah

Dude that jump was a really good idea you and your wife made a good team on that idea.

Actually, I had similar idea to build a top down platformer using sprite stacking to make it look 3D and it looked pretty good. It was, unfortunately, too stressful to make an entire game using fake 3D so I ended up leaving it behind.

3:35 ladylark is always right and has the best ideas

your amazing! happy 20k subs! ive been subscribed to you since you were at 1700 subs!

Nice it seems fun I'm downloading rn
Edit: ok it was really fun but a little tricky but in the end a Great game keep going and making YT videos and games I'm a big fan and have been watching all the dev logs + game jam games you've made! You gave me the courage to start game development my self! Thank you I really love game development and it has been my dream to be a indie Dev since I was a young thank you again😁

Your channel is a great representation of you don’t need to code to create an awesome video game. Know this is kinda cringe to say but whatevs

Did you guys play each other’s games recently or back when you made them?

Found your channel from that jam. Great content!

Haven't done one of these types of jams yet. Sounds like a fun challenge

Your wife rules! That was a great idea!

Good job man, but I lost it at the end of level 5...

If you need some insperation for top down platforming the Mario and luigi Rpgs do it pretty well by giving you some movement tools that help progression and break up the combat so neither gameply style feels like they're getting to boring.

This game is very similar to the brilliant game called UNSIGHTED, it's also basically a top down platformer, it's a lot more polished of course but still very similar

I think it could be cool to let 4 developers make a art kit and you all have to use them all in a game

Dang, I never noticed you only have 20k subscribers.. I always just kind of assumed you were in the low millions

The end killed me!

Second time i saw your game, amazing!

does kenney have a youtube channel? I love the art so much

I've once also made a top down platformer on scratch

Wouldn't it be cool to have a top down skateboarding plat former.

Honestly no cap your my favorite youtuber

You could've made a top-down platformer with skateboarding gameplay maybe? Eh the game was still good. :)

what program do you use for making the games?

The wobble walking is looking kinda sexy I'm not gonna lie

7:57 He sounded exactly like the hamster muffin guy

You’ve already talked to me before about why you aren’t making MWG right now, but is the game actually broken? Us players would really love v. 6.0/7.0 on Itch, if it isn’t completely broken. Who’s with me here?

4 devs 1 -cup- tile set

Video sugestion:
Playing my fans games.
You are the reason i started game making
My itch page is CookieSalad.itch.io

Do a kickflip~~ Awesome idea for sure!!

*I didn't see him write any code, what programming language did he write this in?*

Vimlark do be sounding like a child seeing their favourite streamer read their comment

Awesome vid!

gotta love these

Look at all those rats! :D

I thought one person did four games, but alright

Jesus, why cant Miziziziz just say you have 9 days

Would be great for me, I suck at art^^

I've noticed you're putting a red border around the thumbnail. It looks very similar to how it looks on mobile when the video is already watched. I've almost missed a few of your videos that way. I suggest you change the design of your thumbnails!

I'm trying to make a "wobble and Bob" animation in my game (construct) and I can't make it can someone help me?

What do you use to make your maps?

U should’ve made it like zelda

make a game multiplayer

Rats, we're rats, we're the rats.

The man uploads so much

omg it's the real vimlark

Congrats on 20 K

Cool vid

Yes I love this

why do you use construct? im serious its so limited

it all started whit a table....

I thought that video was an old video .. wow I need to be more attention
