I’m at uni for game design and I’m going to a Jam this weekend for the first time. I’m only in my first year so I don’t actually know how to make a game yet, but I’m really looking forward to being in a room with people who *do* know how, as well as just being exposed to the game dev environment
0:28 Best acting 😜 It's because guys of you I keep mantain my motivation in learning game making stuff Free alternative of Photoshop: Krita Free alternative for audio: Ocenaudio
I really got into gamejamming during corona-caused-social-distancing, and I use your tutorials often during jams to solve some programming issues if I have any :D
I really love your game jam games and tutorials, they really help me out. But have you ever made a big game? Like one that you could get paid for? Dani is working on Karlson and Blackthornprod made The dreadful whispers, I would really love to see a full game from brackeys.
I always wonder how game developers can learn so many skills quickly. They have to be able to model, make art, do sound design, code (some of the time) and so much more. I'm going to university for game design and development and, honestly, having to be able to do all this is fucking terrifying. I'm certain that 3 years is not long enough to learn all this.
They make prototypes, they use ready made models or make very simple ones so they can show their vision. Then they foundrise to hire more developers to make their game into reality. For a solo game developer making a full game is not very realistic, like minecraft was possible cause of the very simple first version. Lookup how first version of facebook looked like for example.
I know this comment it 2 years old but you don't need to learn all of this at all. You can specialize in a specific area you like programming, art, or writing, and stick to that. You will be working with a team on most instances, I wouldn't recommend being a solo developer because of the toll it takes and how counterproductive it is. However, if you want to learn multiple skills you totally can, just be aware that it is NOT necessary to learn all of these skills to be a game designer or developer. You typically specialize.
I'm here to say thank you, I always tried to jump into game design, but never found some good tutorials. As I future Eletric Engineer I hope to be better at progamming as you are.
You think to much, you hope to much. Sit down and write some code, make a game. Does not matter if you dont know how, make some object move. Make something, everyday save everything so you can monitoring your progress. Stop thinking unless you are thinking about how to solve a specefic problem. Make a simulation to show the electric field calculated from the basic rules you know. Dont waste your life hoping, make it happen.
even though i dont make games i still enjoy u making them and showing you how to make them and that is why im going to start making a game and i am going to watch all your tutorials!!!
I'm seeing this whole "planning" phenomenon you're talking about while already 3 days into your Jam. I can confirm, that I did not do any planning other than "I think this idea fits the theme". Will get back to you with how I go.
Me: opens my notebook and pen The paper: a new version is available do you want to download it? Me: no thanks Also the paper: *starts downloading* Me: what do you mean?!?! This is a physical thing ! I hate my life!
Why wait? Why not give it your best shot, even if the game sucks it will be experience. Save it, and then try again. Honestly if you just did weekly game jams for a year you would become a much better developer than most. Theory is not that useful, you pick up much more when you are doing projects over and over. Take it from someone who spent 10 years with theory.
6:43 I had it today where I had the problem that I couldnt figure out how to drag an object across the screen with the mouse. After I had dinner, I almost immediatly solved the problem. I have been pretty much working all day.
I also want to throw in Parsec if you want to playtest with your teammates in local multiplayer, but for some reason you can't meet up. It's also good for screen sharing and remote help.
This goddamned positivity of his is trying its hardest to make me grab Unity and get back into learning to game dev. One of these days he will succeed. Keep up the good vibes, Brackeys!
I never know if i am ready for game jam as i probably would not finish my game in time cause i have so much other work and lack of skill but maybe in the future i will give it a try. It sounds fun.
Here's one thing I've found helps control scope for me: If you can't make a basic prototype within an hour, it's too ambitious. The one game jam submission I successfully pulled off was very easy to prototype. Conversely, the games I failed to submit took longer than an hour to prototype
What we preach: planning. What really happens: Sh*t I can't think of any ideas for the theme! (Then proceeds to panic) then the ideas flow Then tries to make something that resembles a game with only 40% of the given time. Then do an all-nighter a day before submission. Use what's left of the energy to add sound. Then submit your game before you pass out.... Then wake up and say to yourself. "I did that" "I made a game". Game Jams are hard and at times painful but in the end it is very rewarding. You'll learn new things, and maybe form bonds through your shared suffering but most of all you've completed a game with a very short amount of time and resources.
I've also met some people who believe they're not ready to do a game jam. No such thing! Just go for it and challenge yourself to finish even the smallest project. You'll learn a lot!
wait, whats this "planning" thing you speak of? sounds useful
Totally agree

If that's a sentence in jumping off a cliff...
I'm pretty sure I'm falling already before the "But First"...
Definitely stealing that Moscow method, but instead I'm going to divide my ideas by 0, because it's unfathomable that I can finish anything 😅
I luv u
Also verify yourself
Do you mean by infinity? Because that's the result of dividing anything by 0
Truely ????
awesome life hack to ruin your game: divide by 0 and make the amount of ideas you have undefined
Brakeys: pen and paper doesn't need an update.
Pen: *No ink
Pencil: out of pencil
Also pencil: out of sharpness

I can't believe Brackeys, using Unity, is sponsored by other game engines.
“we will sponsor to not use our engine”
@@why5981 Better than Epic, sponsoring people specifically to not use their competitor, no matter where they go, lol
Probably if fans of Brackeys dont want to use unity because its difficult for them
He is just cool that way
They figured out that if you’re watching brackeys, you’re probably into game Dev so it’s a good place to advertise
6:18 NO, this is the point where you should clean your desktop

3:47 When your pen is out of ink... it does need an update
That would then not be considered an update, but rather a replacement. In this context, such as replacing Windows with Linux :)

3:47 I heard it was at alpha pre-release in egypt, then it got updated, and now we have the final build, altough there are many different versions
Game jams are definitely my favourite way to create new games! You always learn something new that you will use somewhere in the future!

didnt think i could relate to something that much
Your channel has inspired me to code and never give up

Fantastic description of what a game jam is and awesome hints on how to be successful!
The worst part about game jams is that they often jam your brain.
I know you!
@@tobyk5091 I know you too B)
😂
GAME JAMS ARE HARD. YOU GET A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME TO MAKE A GAME BASED ON A GIVEN *THEME* .
*4:06** - HAVE A CAT.*
That's all you need to make a good game.

Dude you definitely the best ever ......
Of all time
Thanks too much, this video is helping me for the gmtk jam 2024 thx to much again ❤
Literally just created my own game jam a few days ago, it's like Brackeys knew...
I wish you good luck with your game jam

The best way to game jam is not to sleep during submissions before you submitted your entry 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man this gets me so excited!
Me: opens my notebook and pen
The paper: a new version is available do you want to download it?
Me: no thanks
Also the paper: *starts downloading*
Me: what do you mean?!?! This is a physical thing ! I hate my life!
LMAO ME WITH MY IPAD
Haha accurate
turn it in a game called "notebook 10: annoying update"
Sounds like your paper is running Windows 10.
You sure that isn't Notepad.exe?
Brackeys talking about game jams and wearing a BlackThornProd-made Brackeys shirt makes me feel happy.
I like it that the 1.4 million royal subscribers that brackeys had are still here, that concludes me.
I actually registered for my first game jam in July! This video is very helpful for my first time!
the game "Storm the House" at 4:44 was made by my uncle and he was pumped to see it made it into one of his vids
Just starting using Unity, eager to be skilled enough to participate in a game jam ! :)

Very nice guidance
I have a game jam in a hour and this my friend
helps a lot...
Hey Brackeys, great video. I have actually participated in LD46 as my first jam. my game is "kill the undead"
Great video as always, thanks! 😄👍
0:19 which video is this guys?
Please want to see that video so help guys!
Thanks again. Really keen to jam and share it as part of one of my dev logs! (Get a few more months under my belt first...)
Thanks you are really helpful to me
For you ❤️
You are still the best for me!
I tried Core, it is interesting, but not a game engine.
it looked similar to roblox studio. it's like in beetween. the best things about them is multiplayer comes easy.
This video is really interesting !
we missed you last week
This is nice, I'm really looking forward for Game Jam just wanna know how far I can go.And Brackeys your are making awesome videos.
After submitting your game, play -test- the games from the other participants!
This goddamned positivity of his is trying its hardest to make me grab Unity and get back into learning to game dev. One of these days he will succeed. Keep up the good vibes, Brackeys!
I'm joining the BenBonk game jam which will be my first published game. I am very excited.
Awsome video dude
