It is always a bad idea to create multiple game mods in these games. Devs have very little time and now they have to worry about balancing multiple game mods. Instead he should have either tweak the game to be less stressful or come up with a new solution to make the real time work. However I don't envy his job especially in a very short time.

well i kinda like the idea of the old concept "you have to babysit ur king who move randomly and will suicide itself" wich isnt an issue anymore when you get in a turn based game where you can move EVERY piece at the same time then the king move, so the real time probleme of babysit ur king and have to do decision making of what piece u move and you do with them while the king continue to run aimlessly doesnt exist anymore, but that's just a different direction is idea wasne bad and probably easier to expend with and do a interessing balenced game, that's just less original than a turn based/real time game at the same time, but its probably for the best gameplay wise tbh

It's actually really refreshing to see a completely different game concept from the previous videos. No boss battles, no tower defense, just something completely different. Love it!

Lighthoof started this off amazingly. 11:30 **Cartboard Games sees turn-basd, chess themed puzzle game centered around traps and avoiding them.** "It's too complex and slow. Let's remove the traps and add enemies." There's always one, isn't there? I thought it was going to be MashUp this time, but he came in clutch by including both modes. Edit: And MrLonelyDK comes in to save the day! Three cheers for MrLonelyDK. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

MrLonelyDK single-handedly saved the whole game. There was basically no gameplay additions after the first dev

Props to MrLonelyDK for coming in clutch with the art overhaul! No offense to the dev who added the 3D assets, but they definitely didn’t mesh very well with the art style of the characters Edit: finished watching his part, bro was the best last dev this game could’ve asked for.

I love that you guys extended the Reactions + Dev meeting segment :) The quality of this video was great

Really liked this one, all the devs made thoughtful contributions and the whole thing came together really well in the end. I liked the direction the first dev took it and it was great to see everybody working to enhance such an interesting concept. Great job!

The dude that changed the level design to make more unique level shapes saved the game design and the last dude saved the visuals. What legends

You know it’s gonna be good when the first dev already makes a functional game 😁

Props to lighthoof. He created a really solid foundation for the other devs to build off of.

I think what would be nice is giving value to each of the pieces and then at the start of each level, you get to pick which pieces you'd like to use for the level instead of just giving them to you. Each level would have its own custom level value and you can't exceed that value with your pieces.

@LighthoofDryden

Ай бұрын

That’s such a good idea, I love affording the player more ways to approach like that! Something I wanted to add was like, a “hiring phase” in between levels. During the rounds, if you played more efficiently or stepped on certain squares, you could get coins that would let you hire better versions of pieces or something! Your idea would really gel with that setup

"Add a hitpoint system instead of them just dying." "HEEUUUOOAAAAA"

Olly redeemed himself - can't beat a good round of polish, and making turn-based/live-action toggleable is a great way to add "value" to the project. Hats off to the chap.

First Dev was so OP

Love the direction that this channel is taking! Would love to see some of those games get expanded beyond their first showing. Keep up the great work!

Mashup Games is based for keeping both movement styles in the game, devs for future videos should learn that kind of respect :D After watching the rest of the video, all of these devs are cool, this is one of the best episodes yet

I think this one is my favourite project so far, the art style, gameplay and details are consistent, look professional and the game is replayable. Love the unique idea and character art!

First dev is absolutely goated for doing something so different and interesting

This is like, the only one of these thst diesnt devolve into a generic horde shooter roguelike mess with a big final boss lmao

4:19 i havent seen that video but wow that would suck to hear, glad u got back up from it to give it another shot tho!

HUGE props to MashUp Games for accepting criticism and improving based on it. Ollie really killed it this time.

Damn, MrLonelyDK was cooking as the last dev!

All of the devs did so well on this project. Each person added their own charms to the game and the entire thing came out amazing.

this is one of the best episodes ever, only got better with every devs adding something interesting

First dev is the GOAT of starters

This was a great pass the game challenge. It was very “yes, and?” Unfortunately there’s been too many instances of some game devs absolutely doing their own thing instead of adding on to the previous devs vision. I think this series is best when they try to improve what they have instead of changing everything to fit what they like.

Used all my 5000 QI with this one🔥!! Good job to all devs!

I would actually 100% play this if it was fully fleshed out

I love when the game devs use different art styles, and then one dev makes them all fit perfectly with the others. ❤

this is the best one yet, by a longshot. i'd genuinely consider buying it. it would be fun to see a continuation of this project in a future video

Honestly kudos to dev 5, added some really great additions that could be (and was) expanded upon for future devs, all with going to school and homework ect. Congrats! Great game everyone

love how this came together. i'd definitely like to see it expanded and more polished, but the basic pitch and art style is already fun. also loved the vibe with the music, voices and lighting. really well done.

Holy shit the music and the voices are gorgeous 😍

Surely at some point, bring all the devs back that worked on one game to do another round to make it even more complete and flesh it out! Would b fun.

this looks awesome, so much props to the first dev that created a complete enough idea that was easy to expand on.

The first and last dev were incredible. I also really liked the sound effects.

Honestly hoping this gets revisited, I love chess and this is a pretty unique spin on it. It would be a shame to let all that work go unappreciated; beautiful art, music, enjoyable gameplay.

@LighthoofTheGame you rock man! All the Experienced Devs made our experience exponentially greater :)

Finally a good, original game. I was really hoping to see more than just another survival tycoon type game, and this is perfect! I'm not even such a fan of puzzle games, but the devs really did a solid job on this one. They all complimented each other flawlessly.

The strategy aspect proposed by the first dev [and the music] was super cool!

Dual Wielded is the goat

You’ve been putting these devs to WORK

What I would add would be evil versions of the queen, knight, rook, etc, that try to kill the king. To stop the evil pieces, the player has the ability to place traps of their own, however, this comes with a risk of killing one of the player’s own pieces. This would make each level very chaotic, very fast, and overall, add a new layer of strategy to the game.

This one came out great. I'd be interested in playing a finished version of this, for sure. Every single dev contributed something great, too. Lighthoof actually just started by making the entire concept in one go, somehow. I have no complaints!

The king no longer going anywhere and just following the queen is something I’m a bit conflicted on. It’s a cool mechanic, but it ruins chaotic mode.

the recolouring of the tiles was such a great fix, it was getting hard to look at haha, great job y'all

ive been watching these over the weeks and i like to see that you guys are really trying to develop this series with the viewers feedback in mind. its really starting to come into its own

This series of videos is just getting better and better you guys are really doing you’re best (and it shows) keep up the good work🎉❤

“from around the world” Proceeds to drop pins on two countries

This is one of the best collaboration that you've created, all developers' ideas and improvements made the game much better!

Final product is so sick, always amazed by what the devs pull together

can we all thank the dev that cleaned up the visual pls my eyes bless you

This looks amazing, can't wait for more collaborative game Dev challenges!

This is a much needed change for the game competitions

This was some of the best series of developers I’ve seen in these challenges yet. They synergize incredibly well. The first dev made probably the best base I’ve ever seen. Sound effects and music were on point. We had good gameplay decisions and some questionable ones. We had level design. And then we had good polish. Perfect for this game.

Definitely the best game yet. All the devs built on what came before and maintained a clear vision.

In my opinion this is one of the best games created yet in the pass the game challenge! All the devs did an amazing job!

The longer startups and limited removal clause have had such a powerful effect on the end product. The final game is different than the original idea but is still a working game! Fancy that. Also, Blackthorn showing up in the video calls in a black suit makes this feel like a Polybius experiment.

Really nice, I think this is one of the best and most cohesive games I've seen from this series.

I litteraly checked earlier today if there was a new episode, love these videos jeep it up guys

The challenge with finishing a game jam project stems from ownership issues, where contributions vary widely in terms of effort and expertise. An equal split of shares among all collaborators doesn't accurately reflect the input and stops development, as the best devs are under-compensated. To address the problem, a Tiered Profit Sharing system should be used, categorising contributions into distinct tiers (Minor, Moderate, and Major) to reflect the level of impact and corresponding to a specific share amount (1, 5, 20, respectively). This system advocates for a transparent process where the unbiased community votes on the tier that each developer's contributions warrant. This approach addresses ownership challenges by ensuring rewards are directly proportional to the effort contributed, and motivates developers to complete the project by mitigating the impact of unhelpful or disinterested contributions.
