I just found your channel 20 minutes ago, and I'm already very impressed by you as a person. Seeing the comment that said you weren't going out of your comfort zone enough was baffling to me. You're clearly making huge efforts to make these games, and even if they are similar, you always try to do better and learn more. In my opinion, a game jam isn't about making you uncomfortable, it's about learning, and you're doing a great job at that.

this game looks super sick, love the style.

don’t sweat it about “taking it easy”. Of course if you are feeling tired or starting to get burnt out, taking a step back is really good. But if you’re truly invested and just can’t wait to get back to “work” on a game or whatever you like, that’s okay because it sounds like it’s not really so much like work to you, but just something you really enjoy doing! Keep it up!

This video became very relatable and inspiring to me towards the end when you shared your thoughts on motivation and obsessive tunnel vision. When I was younger, I would constantly be obsessing over some new project. Nowadays, I find it is much harder to come across inspiration that really gets me into that hyper-focus for more than a day or two. Your video, even if just for a moment, reminded me what that feels like, so thank you for sharing! I've always stayed within my programming comfort zone, but I aspire to be as well-rounded of a game developer as you one day.

I think you're my favorite indie game dev on this platform, I love your videos and your content. And for the Discord server I also 100% agree, it would be so cool and I love making servers and Discord in general so, yeah cool

Getting to see this is great! Love hearing all the work you put into the game jams. Keep killing it!

I'm from Portugal and I'm a Java dev with some years in the field. I've been trying to get into pixel art game dev for the longest time but I can't seem to make the art i want in my games and end up dropping them, after watching everything in your channel I've finally commited to improving on it, you're incredebly inspirational. You're really humble for what you've achieved... congrats on everything you've done so far! You should be very, very proud of yourself, you'll absolutly be an amazing dev!

Every time you show your desk setup, my neck hurts for you

Ahh im so jeleous of your art skills, this looks soo good

Damn, this channel is underrated af, these videos are great quality! You definitely earned yourself a subscriber! Also, the artstyle you used is gorgeous! This video in particular helps me get a grasp of what designing a precision platformer like Celeste is like in Godot since I am making a precision platformer as my first commercial game 💀

Was just watching one of your videos. I subscribed and checked the channel to see a new video out. So hyped!

Love the small changes in this video, a bit more detailed on the work and game development! Would love to see in future videos your game design process.

I really love the atmosphere. Great lighting and level design! Some of the jumps are hard, so of course I downloaded the source code, added arrow key support (I'm left-handed), and enabled the cheats. I started playing around with the orbs that decorate the levels and hadn't realized that I'd never created a Tween before. All in all, an invaluable opportunity to study your work and level up as a developer.

“3. mandated feature creep” too true

Hey dude, just found out your channel from the yt recommendations and have binged through your stuff. Awesome content. Just one recommendation - split up your code into separate methods, that way it'd be much easier to comprehend what does what especially when taking breaks from a project or when it grows in size. Keep up the good work

@mz_eth

7 ай бұрын

Yeah np I’ve talked about it some in the past, basically I started doing pixel art for friend who was making a game. It was a fun couple of years, but eventually the project died out and another friend suggested I learn godot. I jumped immediately into trying to recreate a project that failed between friends to see how far I could get. I would watch tutorials like heartbeast, but also just KZread tutorials constantly while I was at work. It was a weird time actually because I was doing nightcrew at the grocery store I work for, but they were phasing nightcrews out, so I did 6 months stocking shelves completely alone because they didn’t want to hire anyone. Really surreal and kind of lonely time. But I would work as fast as possible and then take the free time in my shift to watch stuff and I would actually try to code on a piece of paper by hand. I WAS TERRIBLE AT IT, I still have some of those papers, but I think doing it help me digest some of the tutorials. Also I had a friend during this time and still now who I can ask questions about coding/godot if I get particularly stuck. Although I try not to bother him too much

this is absolutely incredible!! did you put all of the art for this game together in a week too?

Nice looking platformer, would change the revive so instead of instantly respawning the game waits for camera to pan back to where the player is going to spawn, then plays a little animation, like you popping out of the ground. Also needs some work on optimization when I got to underground level my computer fan started to sound like a lawn mower. My computer might be old, but it isn't that old, and there is no reason such a small scene should be stressing my machine that much.

Just a thought: to play into the theme of harvest, what if you design this as a two-phase co-op? The first player gets a thirty second head start and has the ability to "seed" platforms or "seed" jump springs on platforms or "seeds" climbable vines or power-ups. This is a limited resource. After thirty seconds it rains and those seeds grow into objects that assist the first player. Kind of a harvest spin on the Mario Wii U mechanic. Now what to do about the first player after thirty seconds... Headless horseman chases them? Once the second player catches up to the first player, they switch roles. This repeats...?

I edge to your vids, keep it up.

Although the trick was to make the parallax layers effected by the light, which I guess doesn’t work by default, something to do with the light layer.

Oh super simple, just have your dodge button play a dodge animation, turn off your hurt box, yield that animation and when that animation finished have your hurt box come back. I also like to lock in the direction, so I’ll take last known input vector and just make the player move that way until the dodge roll is done. Oh also sometimes I like giving a speed boost but having it slow gradually, the first half of a dodge is the jumping forward and the second half is the roll so landing. Hope any of that makes sense!
