@@jasonlavallee8195 the helicopter started out okay, but the superhero theme and game mechanics were freaking awesome! This is an example of taking the original idea, twisting it quite a bit, and increasing the cool factor immensely.
If you think about it, he still had the same idea of making the purpose of the game defeat the boss. In the minecraft type video: defeat the titan, here defeat the mothership. It's just that here, it already fit the idea of the game, so it indeed made it better.
Taro being the absolute lad by taking criticism from before and really utilising his skills to build upon the previous devs rather than replacing everything (looking at certain someone from the previous video 👀)
@mralexdude2038 basically, while I can't remember which person it was, in the last video the developer had essentially made an entire fully functional game with a unique concept... And then the last dev undid most of their work and made it a simple boss battle simulator, up to and including removing the entire story that a previous dev had written because he hadn't noticed it until after he had remade the whole thing.
Without the helicopter there never would have been the putting out fires with water mechanic so it really did shape the game, this was one of the best games of this challenge yet!
given what he got i agree but I preferred the direction dev 4 went with. I hate that since dev 5 was unskilled she completely opened up the map making it useless then abandoned the project without a floor items that were scaled the wrong way etc etc.
It was obvious from the last time Tarodev participated that he's a very skilled game dev but this time, he flexed those skills while still respecting the vision that the other devs had in place. And, honestly, the game is so much better because of it. It takes a really special person to take the criticism he got last time and not shy away from it. Everyone did an amazing job. The game looks super fun and polished.
Yeah, as much as he changed things (I laughed when he decided to add an immortal boss and make the gameplay all about defeating it into his main contribution, after just prior mentioning he got flak in the last game for making it all about killing an immortal boss :D This time he didn't just scrap the others work to enable/replace it tho), the changes stuck to the clear vision this time imo. Granted, the vision was extremely changed by sam, but that was nevertheless the current state of the vision. Though my opinion is probably also colored by how utterly boring the chore-like gameplay of "put out fires slowly, recharge, and repeat" looked like before that. It is probably also why it seems he sped up all actions (killing spacecars & putting out fires) to make it less of a chore and more of a thing to keep player on their toes.
To be fair, the first dev could've given a bit more direction on gameplay rather than focusing on things like... well... sound design? really? With a clearer direction it wouldn't have been up to dev 2 to actually come up with what the gameplay would be from scratch and for dev 3 to think "well i'm dev 3, but this gameplay still sucks"
adding helicopter was an eazy fix tho. any dev should have use that helicopter model with missile launchers update in it as goon enemy from the mothership...
Tarodev really understood the routine of a cancel arc huh? xD 10/10 recovery mate!! you're talented af. All the small additions felt so impactful overall
It was an honor to lead this! What a cool outcome! I think i'll rebirth the helicopter idea in a follow up :) An outstanding contribution by all, well done guys!!
@@capysays6129 haha, absolutely! Really impressed by the result! Fun Fact: My initial direction was inspired by Desert Strike which I played recently :)
I really liked the congestive feel of the city when towers were closer together. Add more buildings back in! One of the better games to come out of Game dev. Great job!
It’s funny how the new devs all changed it too a typical boring action, overly spacious, superhero, not much to do but fight the main enemy game (of course they made the regular hover cars into enemies also….). I was hoping they would of stuck with the main helicopter firefighting gimmick, kept the city super congestive and crowded. Kept the cyberpunk feel, the dev wanted. Kind of make it feel like Burning Rangers, but you are helicopter. (That eventually upgrades to a hovercar.)
Their problem was that it was a little hard to navigate in between buildings, hence why the spread them out. The thing is, what they should have is moved the buildings even closer together. Real cities are densely packed; the superhero should be flying over STREETS! Even if the actual streets aren't put in, we'd know where they belong. Give it that Luke flying across the Death Star feeling!
samyam had the right idea, but almost destroyed the game before Tarodev came in to save it. Game had no floor, the cape was broken, and things were just janky af
Tarodev did an amazing job on this. What is most impressive is that he upgraded a lot of unpolished mechanics, fix a lot of bugs, enhanced the lore by giving the rocket firing cars a place they come from and building out the city, and, on top of that added many of his own features that give the game a goal that makes sense.
That turned out pretty sweet! I think for the future, it would be cool to have a rule that you cannot remove anything from previous devs, but they can be repurposed in any way. For example, it would have been cool to at least have the original helicopter somewhere in the city as an easter egg to be found.
I don't think the removal of the helicopter was a bad thing tbh when the first dev came up with it kinda sounded like just the first thing he thought of when he wanted it to be a flying based game and the flying was the main idea the first dev was implementing and changing it to a faster paced flying mechanic was a good design choice. every dev had at least one idea that stayed in the game that continuously got built on.
this is one of the best episodes of the series! love the fact that you listened to the community and added reactions at the end. also the longer time really improved the game quality and each dev's contribution! one more thing, it was really cool for blackthornprod to NOT participate in the episode. don't get me wrong, they are an awesome game dev team but by participating in this series it sometimes feels like the end result is a little bit too much blackthornprod. this way we get to see a more diverse style pallete so to say great job overall, keep it up!
Was actually kinda looking forward to Blackthornprod taking part this time though, as a dev somewhere in the middle maybe. Mostly because, it being 3d, they'd (hopefully) be forced to move out of their personal style a bit. I think that's the core of the issue really. When a dev hews just a little too close to their own style or mechanics too often. Gamejams should be, on some level, something of a mess creatively. And it'd be nice to see them ranging out of their comfort zone. Not taking part sometimes might make for a better overall content spread, but it also allows them to stick to safe styles/mechanics. imo.
This has quickly become one of my favourite series on RUclips. I didn't feel he did a bad job last time tbh, but this time he really made the game amazing!! Feel sorry for the first guy missing out on his helicopter though haha. 😄
The problem last time was that the idea was already looking interesting but it got deformed so much it turned in something else that wasn't that interesting tbh, probably tarodev couldn't saw the idea as the other devs did but it's great to see he could this time and improved it
The helicopter was so arcade it was bound to be removed. Plus it's really hard to drive a realistic helicopter, few people find that fun. These videos really help game devs from a design perspective seeing how other people would change a project as they want with very good reasoning. The result is so nice that I'm assuming these devs have a lot of experience, at least 5 years. I myself have 5 years and can barely do anything good in 10 hours.
I think we all want to see them do 2 rounds. And by god, Tarodev's redemption arc is peak fiction, only wish he did more of a devlog on his progress. Still, great episode! Keep this series up, it's amazing
I had an unbreakable smile on my face for 10 minutes...jeez this was good, turns out better than most movie scenarios. Tarodev you really are very valuable. Much better to have you at the end of a serie than 2-3rd imo. Amazing !
Tarodev is like the last Bastion, the saving grace every FREAKING single time! He salvages whatever he can from the game and turns it into something great. It takes immense skill to do something like that and the video clearly shows it!
Taro really brought to the next level, next 10 levels and only in 2 hours. WOW. I thought it was just prototyping but sam really just removed floor and made barrels 10x size 😂😂😂
The thing I don't like that is consistent with these videos is that the final dev ALWAYS turns a game with a decent objective into nothing but a boss battle. I like my bosses, but seeing a game with a gimmick become a boss fight makes me die on the inside.
@@cutestcreeper569 because the game didn't have any winning condition. I mean, you can laser a rocker, put off the fire, and etcetra, but what's the winning condition? Is it just to survive as long as possible until the city get destroyed? Defend the city for 10 minutes? That would have been boring so they add the boss, since is the easiest way to add a fun winning condition. Beside Final Devs need to finsih the game in only a few hours, not just add a feature, they add Boss because is fast and easy. And probably because it's a superhero game, if they kept the Chopper, Taro wouldn't make the boss.
This collab was a great example of how to just throw things down to get inspiration, start the prototype, continue to flesh out the prototype until you get it to a place you're happy with, then turn that prototype into an actual game. John mentioned how as first to contribute he would be laying the foundation for the other developers, and it is really cool to see how the end result is a clear inspiration from what he started, even if they disrespected his helicopter.
Tarodev, you absolutely killed it! ❤ Aside from the great content you added to the game, even the UI you added looks so polished. Where did you learn to design UI? Everything you create is so pleasing to look at, I would love to learn that too!
This is a good episode. First and last dev knew their missions which let the others do great things. Tarodev, great response to the feedback! You expanded on the game splendidly. The helicopter, the city and the green cylinders without function really gave the game character. Great start, John!
I don't know about you guys, but i am so hyped for Gamedevrocket! I've always wanted to learn how to code and make videogames as i have so many good ideas i want to play around with, i just never knew where to start, whose tutorials to watch or which software to learn. Hopefully this can be the start of something great for me, I'm a huge fan of these " X game devs make a game without communicating" videos and i hope you continue to make more of them!
the improvements made in this episode of this series was amazing, and the game at the end looks like a dream and so well polished!! so glad you listened to the community and made reasonable changes to make it what it is!! such a good video and I will be watching every one of these I see in the future!! much love ❤
I always look forward to Tarodevs work in these videos because he's able to look at what the past devs have put and expand on it exponentially, as well as putting his own spin on it
Havent seen the vid in forever but I suppose it just comes to what you saw as the best continuation of the game, everyone will disagree on the best course of action
Great job everyone, Flippin Taro smashed it out of the park for the finish. John (Lost relic games) got off to a great start I imagine being first is pretty rough considering his work got mostly shafted but its all part of the no communication challenge I spose. Once again great work to all involved!
@@alt1763 I think that was his intention too, and he stated in the video that he was mostly concerned with creating the base foundation for what the game will be rather than what assets he introduced were left in the final product.
I haven’t seen all these vids yet, but this is my favorite so far. The game looks genuinely fun and visually nice. A perfect balance of devs adding new things and changing elements but keeping a lot of the core design.
Really good how you can see the impact from each of the Devs, and it mesh really well in the end. Although Relics helicopter was gone, the base of the game exists because of his decision. Flying around in the city. Golden created what would lead to the idea of the gameplay. Protecting the city. Ajacksters change was a big one, but it definitely kept the core idea from the other two with the Superhero. Samyam created the loop, and made use of Goldens flying ships, which would lead to Taros inspiration. Also direction for a much needed visual update. And of course Taro took what was there, and polished it. Great final execute to what the rest had built. Probably the best one of these videos so far. Great additions from everyone. Love it.
Fun stuff this time, and really great to see the reaction at the end. For the perfect experience I still reckon the first creator should be allowed a second time slot at the end. Everyone really worked together effectively this time though, you can see the product of the extra time at work. Though, how Samyam managed to look at the horrifying floorless nightmare she created for more than 10 seconds without getting motion sickness is beyond me! Skybox she added was great with the floor, but so weird without it. Thought it was some kind of video artifact.
Dope ! Bird Up ! Gotta love how the one who says "I opened the game and thought wtf is happening" tries to "fix chaos" by adding no feature, barely changing the game assets and forgetting to add a ground. x'D
finally you added the reaction of all players to the video, all other videos felt incomplete without it. and for me the reaction is like the most important part. (else its like the child game "chinese whispers" but you just dont reveal the end :D)
Tarodev is incredible and has perfect perception to achieve everything he puts into it. Amazing graphics and immersive gameplay, the work of the cameras, everything is so great.
My very based thoughts: i like how the player can intercept rockets (not grab them, but collide and it explodes) but i didnt like that with the fleet vehicles. I thought it doesnt quite fit with the other mechanics, because thay way the player just rams into the fleet and they dont get a change to break havoc in the city. On a similar note, i think the player should have health, and when the hero rams into something, it should decrease. This way the player can ram to stop something from happening but also having to take into account the health. "Like, i can easily stop it, but is the cost worth it?" Justmy two cents! I really enjoyed this video and seeing how everyone added on what the others worked!
Tarodev really made this game into an actual game with a goal. Getting you time down makes it replayable as well. Every developer did great but he was mvp
Really loved this one, last one i watched was the caterpillar which was super disappointing but this really felt like each of the devs building off of the ideas given to them, very fun watch!
This is so amazing! I laughed at a lot of the initial idea changes like getting rid of the helicopter and then when the hero was replaced by a fire truck. Great video! I feel inspired, looking forward to more content from everyone in the video
Tarodev did an amazing job, he actually added so much content in the last 12 hours, that's crazy. Wish we got a bit more of a dev log from him though, like with making some of the assets or the effects.
Using the clip of his centipede when talking about misunderstandings was a genuinely funny moment of self-awareness. Love the series, great concept and talented people!
I would love for a series of follow up videos where the devs get together and plan out the finalization of the game after the last dev finishes. There's so many good ideas and they are obviously inspiring each other.
Man incites anger by changing a game to be focused on a big boss fight. Proceeds to change the next game to be focused on a big boss fight. (Kidding- it actually worked out this time! That mothership fight is legit cool!)
oh my gosh, i think this one is my favorite in the whole series. so cool and fun to see how it changed from the beginning! the movement looks like it feels so cool too ^_^
Now this was incredible! Loved seeing how it started and how it finished! Insane end result is definitely well earned! Great work everyone! :D Taro always makes those changes that just add that final bit of juice into the game
You should try a video where you get a bunch of developers, give them all the same basic prompt of a game to make such a genre, style (2d, 3d, first person, etc) and some kind of basis story plot to work with. Maybe just like 1-2 intro lines to a story. Give them all a few days to work on it and then have them all play each other’s games at the end
I mean maybe not fully releaseable. It is still pretty short on actual content, but for a game jam game made through a game of telephone it's impressive to say the least.
I was watching samyam lives about this project and this really end with something cool 😄 It also must be really funny for first dev, watching final result, especially when other removes this cute helicopter in which he puts so much love 😂
This is much better than the last one of these that I watched. I didn't watch the other video that tarodev was in, but if people were criticizing him for changing the vision too much, he definitely redeemed himself here. The mothership was an amazing addition without changing the gameplay too much and the visuals were insane. The only dev whose work kinda got shafted here was the first one, Lost Relic Games, lol but at least they stuck with the idea of a flying game. Everyone else added in a core mechanic that pretty much stuck through to the end of the development, which is really impressive.

And probably because it's a superhero game, if they kept the Chopper, Taro wouldn't make the boss.
This collab was a great example of how to just throw things down to get inspiration, start the prototype, continue to flesh out the prototype until you get it to a place you're happy with, then turn that prototype into an actual game. John mentioned how as first to contribute he would be laying the foundation for the other developers, and it is really cool to see how the end result is a clear inspiration from what he started, even if they disrespected his helicopter.
im kinda sad the building were made more spread out. i liked the hectic feel it had them being all close together, felt more like a real city
Same!
Tarodev, you absolutely killed it! ❤ Aside from the great content you added to the game, even the UI you added looks so polished. Where did you learn to design UI? Everything you create is so pleasing to look at, I would love to learn that too!
I did a few years as a fronted developer and have always had an interest in making things pretty 😊 thanks for noticing ❤
Every episode of this series gets better and better! Keep up the good work!
GREAT JOB TARODEV you listened to feedback and made the game super!
This is seriously one of my favorite series! Can't wait to see more!
Spreading the buildings out that far was such a shame, flying through the gaps looked way better
This is a good episode. First and last dev knew their missions which let the others do great things.
Tarodev, great response to the feedback! You expanded on the game splendidly.
The helicopter, the city and the green cylinders without function really gave the game character. Great start, John!
The lack of floor for an entire section was quite confusing. Every time she added a new feature I was like "ok, but where's the floor?"
I don't know about you guys, but i am so hyped for Gamedevrocket!
I've always wanted to learn how to code and make videogames as i have so many good ideas i want to play around with, i just never knew where to start, whose tutorials to watch or which software to learn.
Hopefully this can be the start of something great for me, I'm a huge fan of these " X game devs make a game without communicating" videos and i hope you continue to make more of them!
It's good to see Taradov acknowledge the criticism 😂
the improvements made in this episode of this series was amazing, and the game at the end looks like a dream and so well polished!! so glad you listened to the community and made reasonable changes to make it what it is!! such a good video and I will be watching every one of these I see in the future!! much love ❤
I always look forward to Tarodevs work in these videos because he's able to look at what the past devs have put and expand on it exponentially, as well as putting his own spin on it
I love how samyam looked at the code and gameplay and instead of changing it just added and enhanced what was there. Same goes for taro, nice job
no, samyam completely changes everything
sam removed the speed of the game by making the buildings spread out and smaller
Havent seen the vid in forever but I suppose it just comes to what you saw as the best continuation of the game, everyone will disagree on the best course of action
She made everything worse.. maybe the laser was still a good idea and implementation.
ok cool, now make more videos featuring this series.
we honestly cant get enough of this lol
So, you guys basically started with a Lego chopper and ended up recreating Megaton Rainfall.
Great job everyone, Flippin Taro smashed it out of the park for the finish. John (Lost relic games) got off to a great start I imagine being first is pretty rough considering his work got mostly shafted but its all part of the no communication challenge I spose. Once again great work to all involved!
John's flying system was the backbone of the game as it was expanded on to create the superhero flying system
yeah first dev always gets it the worst
@@alt1763 I think that was his intention too, and he stated in the video that he was mostly concerned with creating the base foundation for what the game will be rather than what assets he introduced were left in the final product.
I haven’t seen all these vids yet, but this is my favorite so far. The game looks genuinely fun and visually nice. A perfect balance of devs adding new things and changing elements but keeping a lot of the core design.
Really good how you can see the impact from each of the Devs, and it mesh really well in the end.
Although Relics helicopter was gone, the base of the game exists because of his decision. Flying around in the city.
Golden created what would lead to the idea of the gameplay. Protecting the city.
Ajacksters change was a big one, but it definitely kept the core idea from the other two with the Superhero.
Samyam created the loop, and made use of Goldens flying ships, which would lead to Taros inspiration. Also direction for a much needed visual update.
And of course Taro took what was there, and polished it. Great final execute to what the rest had built.
Probably the best one of these videos so far. Great additions from everyone. Love it.
I love this assessment
Best video yet. The reactions at the end are a long overdue addition. Thank you.
scrolled through the timeline, you added reactions! very cool
What's that? Nvm, now I saw it.
He's a man of the people. Such a good addition, although I missed seeing the brothers themselves react.
Great job by all, special shout-out to Tarodev who really turned it up to 11! Incredible.
Fun stuff this time, and really great to see the reaction at the end. For the perfect experience I still reckon the first creator should be allowed a second time slot at the end. Everyone really worked together effectively this time though, you can see the product of the extra time at work. Though, how Samyam managed to look at the horrifying floorless nightmare she created for more than 10 seconds without getting motion sickness is beyond me! Skybox she added was great with the floor, but so weird without it. Thought it was some kind of video artifact.
Dope ! Bird Up ! Gotta love how the one who says "I opened the game and thought wtf is happening" tries to "fix chaos" by adding no feature, barely changing the game assets and forgetting to add a ground. x'D
Definitely the best pass the game yet, I love how much each dev is able to flourish and really thoughtfully work on the game with ten hours
I can’t tell if the first dev was impressed or pissed that they removed his helicopter💀
finally you added the reaction of all players to the video, all other videos felt incomplete without it.
and for me the reaction is like the most important part.
(else its like the child game "chinese whispers" but you just dont reveal the end :D)
Tarodev is incredible and has perfect perception to achieve everything he puts into it. Amazing graphics and immersive gameplay, the work of the cameras, everything is so great.
I honestly prefer if the buildings were close together which makes it fun to fly through tight spaces
I was also planning on when flying close to a building, you tilt your body towards it and add a zipping sound. No time though :(
u still did lots of stuff and changed the whole game to much better@@Tarodev
My very based thoughts: i like how the player can intercept rockets (not grab them, but collide and it explodes) but i didnt like that with the fleet vehicles. I thought it doesnt quite fit with the other mechanics, because thay way the player just rams into the fleet and they dont get a change to break havoc in the city.
On a similar note, i think the player should have health, and when the hero rams into something, it should decrease. This way the player can ram to stop something from happening but also having to take into account the health. "Like, i can easily stop it, but is the cost worth it?"
Justmy two cents! I really enjoyed this video and seeing how everyone added on what the others worked!
Seeing the dev's reactions to the final version of the game is just what this series needed! Keep up the great work
Tarodev really made this game into an actual game with a goal. Getting you time down makes it replayable as well. Every developer did great but he was mvp
Really loved this one, last one i watched was the caterpillar which was super disappointing but this really felt like each of the devs building off of the ideas given to them, very fun watch!
This is so amazing! I laughed at a lot of the initial idea changes like getting rid of the helicopter and then when the hero was replaced by a fire truck. Great video! I feel inspired, looking forward to more content from everyone in the video
Great call adding the reaction of the devs at the end
Good job bro!
Tarodev did an amazing job, he actually added so much content in the last 12 hours, that's crazy. Wish we got a bit more of a dev log from him though, like with making some of the assets or the effects.
Tarodev basically made the whole game. Amazing job!
My favorite videos on youtube!!! Thanks for making awesome content like this!!!
It’s always insightful to see how these different devs think and how they approach an unfamiliar scenario
Absolutely amazing to have been part of this. The end result is so insanely cool and jawdropping. Great job to the other devs!
Thanks for joining Ken!
The first dev: "Where's my helicopter? Oh, at least they keep some building..." 😂
Using the clip of his centipede when talking about misunderstandings was a genuinely funny moment of self-awareness. Love the series, great concept and talented people!
I would love for a series of follow up videos where the devs get together and plan out the finalization of the game after the last dev finishes. There's so many good ideas and they are obviously inspiring each other.
Do like 2 rounds so the devs can see how the game changed and their perception of the game. Also game will be more advanced
I like that idea. But make sure not to give the devs too much time or else the second round will just be 80% bug fixes and shaders
Funny thing... I was thinking the same thing when I started watching the video. It would be really cool if they make it that way.
I agree, that sounds like a fun idea!
@@godrel6177 he did 💀
Yoo that digidigidi helicopter sound was so hilarious, no way thry removed it😂
This is the best one I've seen so far!!!! Taro is insane with the ending!!
the girl sent the game five years back.
Man, this could be expanded to a full game! Really great video, I was impressed by what Tarodev did!
glad to see im not the only one that was impressed by tarodev lol awesome work
Man incites anger by changing a game to be focused on a big boss fight. Proceeds to change the next game to be focused on a big boss fight.
(Kidding- it actually worked out this time! That mothership fight is legit cool!)
I live on the edge 😜
@@Tarodev lmao
I was thinking that it would be a cool super hero game then ajackster did exactly what i wanted
Ajackster not geting enough love he deserve after all it’s was his vision that made taro dev vision came true😅
The flying controller was very well-made 🙏
Thanks
@@Ajackster yay😻
oh my gosh, i think this one is my favorite in the whole series. so cool and fun to see how it changed from the beginning! the movement looks like it feels so cool too ^_^
Now this was incredible! Loved seeing how it started and how it finished! Insane end result is definitely well earned! Great work everyone! :D Taro always makes those changes that just add that final bit of juice into the game
This honestly looks sick! Would love to see an original super hero born out of this game thats not associated with any comic books out there. 😮
Lost Relic and Tarodev together….
Game Jesus and Game Wizard
I mean not much of Lost Relics work existed when tarodev got it lol
@@darkithnamgedrf9495 Haha… That’s true brother 😂😂😂 Still 2 of my favourite game dev youtubers…
@@darkithnamgedrf9495 The spirit of his helicopter rushed through me
You should try a video where you get a bunch of developers, give them all the same basic prompt of a game to make such a genre, style (2d, 3d, first person, etc) and some kind of basis story plot to work with. Maybe just like 1-2 intro lines to a story. Give them all a few days to work on it and then have them all play each other’s games at the end
holy sh*t, tarodev took the game from a concept to an fully releasable polioshed game, that was awesome
I mean maybe not fully releaseable. It is still pretty short on actual content, but for a game jam game made through a game of telephone it's impressive to say the least.
@Connor P it absolutely passes as a mobile game if they wanted to polish it a bit for and charge 99 cents for it
@@dragonxev1144 true.
I was watching samyam lives about this project and this really end with something cool 😄 It also must be really funny for first dev, watching final result, especially when other removes this cute helicopter in which he puts so much love 😂
This is much better than the last one of these that I watched. I didn't watch the other video that tarodev was in, but if people were criticizing him for changing the vision too much, he definitely redeemed himself here. The mothership was an amazing addition without changing the gameplay too much and the visuals were insane. The only dev whose work kinda got shafted here was the first one, Lost Relic Games, lol but at least they stuck with the idea of a flying game. Everyone else added in a core mechanic that pretty much stuck through to the end of the development, which is really impressive.
Tarodev is a legend!
That's crazy how much it changed hahaha, awesome to watch
Tarodev went crazy on this
