One recommendation. You really need to get all of the game developers together after the game has been completed so that they can talk about what went right and what went wrong. It would also be cool for them to see and hear from each other a little bit about what each person was thinking. I then would give the entire team one more four hour window to work together (all at once) to complete the game so that you have a polished product to release to the general public. The chaos would give rise to some really cool ideas, and the teamwork afterwards would make the game some thing that KZreadrs might actually want to play. I thought this is a really cool idea for a video series. I would watch it again.

I had an idea... what if the queen spawns when the castle gets destroyed for the player to protect, giving you another chance to survive. When the castle is destroyed you can no longer spawn units so you have to use what you have left to survive. You have to gather resources to rebuild the castle but it's gonna cost a lot and if you survive long enough you get to rebuild your castle.

I will say, the last video I saw like this (by another creator) developers were afraid to touch what other devs had done and solely just added new stuff. So it was nice seeing here, later devs doing things like updating sprites and other aspects to make the game much more polished.

@TheHeroBeats

Жыл бұрын

I do feel some of the principal idea was lost when certain people outright removed a feature, the challenge is basically the Game Dev equivalent of "Yes, and?". So removing things others added instead of adding/tweaking features felt more like "No, Actually" if that makes sense. The princess being a primary example, it would be one thing if they changed the unit behavior, or maybe added a spawning condition or something, but instead they said "No, actually I don't like this" and removed it completely.

​@@pomelo9518 I mean, in an ideal world, they would read through every line of code to see what it does, allowing them to notice something is disabled and reimplementing it. However, people's time is valuable, and they have a time limit for this, so I'm not sure how much they actually read the code. I don't think just having a simple note that some code was temporarily disabled really corrupts the concept, it's not like they are telling the person what it is supposed to do or how to change it. Maybe if we draw a hard line and say that isn't allowed, maybe time limits should be a bit less strict. Idk the perfect solution, I just don't think it's a good thing that someone can spend hours on something and then it accidently gets completely removed.

Nothing really got "corrected" people added their own ideas and styles on top of what was already there, as was the point of the challenge, later devs also changed the economy system, doesn't mean they "Corrected" it. The only Dev who failed the challenge was the 5th dev, who decided to remove stuff and tried to add that background that clashed even more with all the other art styles than the 3rd devs sprites did. Which is probably why the 6th Dev changed it back to a more sensible/less clashing style.

Dev 1 = "I got big ideas!" Adds initial elements and basic functionality. Dev 2 = "Let's make this work properly" Adds back-end systems to make it work Dev 3 = "Let's make it mine!" Adds a bunch of 5yo artwork units including a d*ck cannon Dev 4 = "I gotta fix this hot mess" Reworks everything from Dev 3 and makes the game more approachable Dev 5 = "This needs jazzing up" Adds music, fixes the progression system, tries to make it colour-blind friendly Dev 6 = "Why would anyone play this game?"

Not sure how you came to that conclusion, he might not have added much, but the things he did add were all valid. The only thing lacking was his art, and that might simply be something he's not good at and didn't feel it necessary to waste his time trying to make something look good, rather than make something that worked. The entire point of the challenge was to take what was handed to you and add things to it. He added a unique enemy type to give enemy variety, which can diversify your strategy or at least freshen up the game. He added a unique failure condition that you have to protect, which is quite unique for what is essentially a tower defense game. He added a unique unit/building type as the cannon. He added an ability for the player to more actively respond to threats/mistakes with the bomb. And spent some time play testing and balancing.
