Dude you freaking rocked that game! I can’t believe how many detailed animations and unique enemies were in your game. Seriously my gamer boy heart leaped when I saw the boss go into the background and shoot lanterns for the first time. Also, your devlog is fantastic. It’s so funny that we almost did the office setting as well and I was a bit tired of them by the end of the jams. I think of all the really epic boss fights, your game probably had the most detailed and fleshed out one. Fantastic work!
Thank you so much for the kind words, I appreciate it! I was hoping people would enjoy the boss fight, I'm glad it worked! :D Also, I totally feel you on the office theme - haha! I remember scrolling through the submissions after the time ended and just breathing a sigh of relief that I pivoted to this game when I saw all the office themed games, lol!
Dude, I hate the 48 hour jams too, I feel bad for those they crunch for the whole weekend just to get their game out. I wish 1 week / 10 days would become the norm, much more manageable. Also, interesting to hear about your previous industry experience creating boss fights, very cool!
Totally agree, I feel you have to make so much sacrifice to your scope and polish in a 48h gamejam, that you either have to make an unfinished game or go for an hardcore unhealthy crunch and still might not be that great. 10 days jams are perfect imo, cause it allows you to make the core of your game on the first weekend, finish it during the week days and polish and wrap it during the last weekend. I was really happy to finally participate in a relatively big jam that wasnt a 48h one for once, I also really hope that this format picks up in popularity and become the norm.
When you sent it to me to playtest I had wondered about how short the level before the boss was, but it makes so much sense to highlight the boss in a game jam about bosses. I think it turned out great, and as usual the video was a lot of fun!
Haha, yeah I remember from the playtests when you said "one problem is you can kinda just run through all the starting enemies with no issues" and my thought was "PERFECT" lmao Thanks again for playtesting, you're a superstar!
VimJam2 was a blast! Congrats on submitting a game! It blows my mind how much stuff you got done for this jam working solo. So much art, coding and affects all wrapped into one neat package. Awesome job on this! - Foster
I way overscoped my game. Between that and taking my wife to the ER, I wasn't able to finish. Glad you got your game finished! It looks great! I am gonna try and play it here in the next couple of days
Good video man and very cool game. I can't believe I didn't even see it durring the jam. I will make sure I play it tonight, funnily enough before I start playing Halo Infinite MP later.
Love the stuff, going through the catalog. But PLZ do a final gameplay part of the video. I understand the want for people to play what you’ve worked so hard on, but after hearing there are 207(!!!!!!!!!) SE in the game - holy crap. I have commercial releases that have like 40 tops, including music. Love the channel, love your passion, love your delivery, hate your game jam curse (though it makes me chuckle through the empathy) and love that you worked on a Halo game. No matter where you are in your life or what you’re doing, I wish you the best and continued success! I’ll get back to the video now ;)
Great video ! And congrats on your 13th position ! You made a great game ! 1:58 funny enough, I had the same though process. That everybody would avoid making a Boss fight for the sake of being original and since Vimlark mentioned it could also be a Boss you work for, I assumed everyone would avoid everyone's first idea and go for everyone's second idea: some Boss in an office and like you said, it was totally the case. So like you, I went for some reverse psychology and went for the Boss fight and try to be original with the theme instead hahaha.
Game looks great! Crisp pixel art and gameplay looks very good in general, not just for a game jam. Agree about players not finishing game jam games. For example, for LD49 I made a short and easy game with a twist at the end, but more than 50 % just didn't get to that part, but that part was the most important part that shows what was happening the whole game. So yeah, it's very hard to balance for gamejam's...
Thank you! And yeah, haha, I did the exact same thing with a twist ending for a game jam game I made called "Lamland Adventure"! I was shocked at how many comments I got on the game saying that they didn't understand it, because I totally overexplained once you got to the twist, but it really helped me learn more about how to balance for a jam and how to account for the low player retention rate!
hi beautiful game u made i love it , the art is beautiful and the boss is challenging and awesome , i wanted to ask about something if its possible to answer me , what programming language you used while working on halo infinite ?
@@InboundShovel wooow that explain why you are so skilled at making ia and programming , goood job in the game its well made 😍 , why didnt use ue4 ? It uses c++ and you are obviously good at that 😍
@@painleroux9486 Thanks so much! I used Godot because, in general, I just really like the Godot node system, and because in general I find that scripting languages like Lua and GDScript (godot's scripting language) are much faster for making content than something like C++, which is much better for engine side stuff and optimization!
@@InboundShovel ohh i see , good points and its true , Godot is amazing and i like so much your videos 😍 , may be one day do us a favor and do a deeper dive on the ia boss and how you made it , i really loved it and i think its the best boss in that jam 😍
I must be stupid. My first thought when you said the theme and requirement was a game where you go through these ridiculous levels and at the end of the level you walk out onto the edge of a cliff. Here you can see an intense boss fight of which you can't be part of.
I mean, a game where you see an epic boss fight happening that you can't actually interact with directly is a brilliant subversion of the idea of being "on the edge" of a "boss". I can actually totally see that working LOL
Meow meow meow ending music video when?
Had lots of fun playing Isadora's Edge yo awesome work! Love this video as well, great job!
Hottest single 2021 you heard it here first

100% agreed, 1 week jams really feel like the sweet spot! :D

That's so funny; as you were describing the game jam theme, I instantly thought of a weapon that only does damage on the edge. 😂 Great result btw!!
Thank you so much!
As Picasso once said: "Good devs copy, great devs yoink"
no but for real, loved the video and now I'm off to play the game!
LOL
Hope you enjoy the game!! :D

You're honestly really cool and I had to subscribe because this video was just chill to watch.
Aww, thank you so much! Really appreciate it! :)

Hey bro, thanks for checking it out, looking forward to your feedback!
And I hope your wife is feeling better now! :)
@@InboundShovel She sure is now! Thanks for the well wishes!
This game is really cool! You did an insane amount of quality work over the 10 days and it's inspiring, great job!!
Thank you so much! :D

that background and environment is beautiful
Thank you!! :D
I LOVE THE BLEND IN PARALLAX ATTACK WTFFF

That's good feedback, I should make sure to add gameplay sections so people can actively see the game! :)
This was really interesting to watch and im kinda sad i missed it during voting. Really cool boss fight!
Thank you! :)

And that's so funny, great minds think alike! Reverse psychology'd ourselves into making sick boss fights LOL
Nice. Been waiting for another one of these! Haven’t watch yet but I know it’s gonna be a good one
I loved playing your game I hope you expand on this in the future
I was thinking about trying to flesh out this level as well as making a couple more for this game, I might have to give it a go!

im very jealous on your painting skills! gj!
Thank you so much! :)
Awesome game and love the art style!
Thank you so much!! :D
hi beautiful game u made i love it , the art is beautiful and the boss is challenging and awesome , i wanted to ask about something if its possible to answer me , what programming language you used while working on halo infinite ?
Thank you!
While I was at 343, I primarily worked with C++ and Lua myself!

How are you so good at pixel art and animation?! I’ve been trying to draw a pixel flower for like a week 😂
Haha, thanks so much!! I've been spending a LOT of time practicing! I also have been watching a bunch of "how to make pixel art" videos too!
oooh I'm interested in AI, I would be love if you made a video specific to that boss ). Definitely subscribing anyway.
y u underrated?
It's a mystery lmao
can u add some more gameplay in the editing?
I'll keep that in mind for my next devlog and try to include a few more cuts of the game! Thanks for the feedback! :)
That's game is very amazing
Nice video keep it up
