  • We went into the forest to make games in nature. Can two full time game developers make a game with nothing but sticks and stones? I teamed up with Noa Calice from Blackthornprod to tackle one of the most interesting game dev challenges we've attempted so far.

      The development might be really hard, but once you master it, you get games with immersive gameplay and graphics
      Unfortunately, bugs always exists though

      Better lighting, better performance, they even reworked the particle system!

    I think the boat game could be made much more interesting with a simple tweak: The boats must carry a (small) stone each, first one to make the opponents stone sink wins (or all stones, if allowing several boats).

    I found an overpowered glitch in game 1!
    While you're collecting rocks, if you hold your rocks in your off hand and spam crouch next to a tree, you can noclip into the tree and get sticky sap on your rocks, making it an easy win!

    I really enjoyed your video, you and Noah are a volcano of ideas. It is nice to see how creativity with the simplicity of the things of nature manages to find ways to entertain and have fun. Basically you have (re) discovered what years ago our parents and grandparents used to do: playing with what they had using imagination and a few objects that the "outside" provided them.

  • @peronohaynada
    @peronohaynada Год назад +1

    what I get from this exercise is that being in front of a computer might not be the best way to find inspiration, rather go outside, interact with the world, spend some quality time with friends, and if you have a friend that likes to join your stupid ideas and brainstorm and work on them despite feeling a bit stupid, then do it! The often you do it, the easier it would get over and over! And don't forget to change the environment, cause you may run out of ideas and it's good to keep refreshing them!

    This was super. I'm pretty sure it was very healthy and great fun. I would do more of these game-dev-outside-your-house challenges if I were you. And you can of course bring some basic stuff from the garage such as wire, clothing pins, colourful plastic/fabric, elastic bands, basic tools. Before you know it your videos will be a source of inspiration for parents and kids too. Besides it is great to watch.

    In grammar books, they often tell us to write stories and essays relating to real life.
    Almost all 'original' game ideas exist because the developers simulated real life.
    Minecraft, Pokemon, ...you name it!
    PS
    The lesser the density of towers in game 2/4, the faster the round finishes.
    ...am I correct?
    (The size of the 'board'/field doesn't matter either, probably.)
