What a journey. Keep going Jonas!

ITS UNITY!
The comment never blew up
That VR game would genuienly be a massive hit! Like I am not even joking that seems really cool, great way to protype scenes as well, maybe give it another shot?
Yeah, we saw the viral potential in it too. We loved playing it. We just didn't enjoy working on it enough I guess. :/
@@JonasTyroller Got enough of it to share just the little bit you have to play around with?
Came here to say the same thing. Truly one of the coolest and game changing ideas 💡
That VR game really caught my attention. Very creative idea. It seems like it really captures the potential of VR, the freedom of sandbox and the possibilities of creativity.
@@JonasTyroller am i alowed to steal the idea for the VR game so it can still be made real if youre not gonna finish it?
What a great portfolio Jonas! You've made so many things I had never seen before (especially that huge backlog of creations dating back from when you were a kid!).
wow I didn't expect to see you here... Epic
Honestly I think its pretty bad lmao, after 12 years? He goes off on other devs about stupid things that they already know to improve since its just a prototype he is playing, and then you see his own games and its all shit lmao
Few professionals in their 20s can boast "20 years of experience" for any craft. Wild stuff!
The level editor at 5:51 reminds me that it'd be cool if WYS had one.
Don't give Jonas any ideas, we want the game to release one day.
@@TyperMarlinGames future update
@@AtLeastVision or dlc expansion
one word, you just need one word: snailax
@@UhhhhhhhhhhhSomeone what
20 Years is Crazy!!, nowadays game dev has became so easy because of dev tutors like you, Best of luck for future!!
Naaah its not easy. Still hard.
"Gamedev is easy"? Relatively, maybe, but fuck no its not easy
A lot of my game dev friends learned how to make games a lot faster than me. It doesn't have to take 20 years, especially not today. ;)
@@JonasTyroller man you just made me depressed with the amount of games you made, and the veriety, i'm learning gamedev so i thought of making some test games and then try to make a portfolio game, i made 2 games in 2months, i thought i was ready to start making a proper game but when i saw this.. nahhh man i'm bad as hell :(
Btw love your game will you snail, i can see it a trend before it releases!
@@breh2716 @DevDennis I meant comapratively. in older times there were no youtube tutorials to learn gamedev, imagine not having stack exchange or Sketchfab etc. XD
I love when you talk about your journey! You have made so much progress and gotten incredibly better at game dev. Keep up the great work!
Thanks. Happy if you enjoyed the video. :)
Wow, Jonas, it's been a journey. 20 years of development and you're still going! I completely agree with your tip for archiving work because sometimes it's hard to see how much you've grown since your first project and it feels like you're not improving. I recently looked back at some of my older games and it was mind-blowing to see how horrendously BAD they were and how far I've come. It's truly motivating when you see that all the hard work has paid off and your effort into your passion and community has paid off in an amazing way. I appreciate you sharing your progress with us and I'm looking forward to seeing all the games you'll make in the future and all the people you'll continue to inspire. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
As a German, I recognized so many games that inspired you that were popular back then and that we played for hours.
Vor ungefähr 10 Jahren bin ich über deine GameMaker 8 Tutorial Reihe gestolpert und habe zum ersten mal ein kleines Spiel programmiert. Seitdem habe ich auch ähnlich wie du immer neues ausprobiert und mittlerweile studiere ich auch etwas in dem Bereich, womit ich auch sehr zufrieden bin. Ich weiß nicht ob es auch ohne deine Videos so gekommen wäre aber es war definitiv ein wichtiger Initiator. Danke dafür ^^ ❤
Here in English for those who are interested:
"About 10 years ago I stumbled across your GameMaker 8 Tutorial Series and created my first game ever. Since then I tried new things and now also study something similar. Im very happy with that and don't know if everything would be like this without your old videos. Thank you ^^".
When I make art of any kind for people I care about, it makes me realize how little they care about me or the things I do. Makes me wonder why they keep me in their lives. I've made games, short stories, even wrote a novel for someone. No one ever looked at anything I made for longer than a couple seconds when I first showed them. They always immediately change topic and pretend like it didn't happen. I'm very jealous that you have people that would actually accept that stuff from you.
I have plenty of people in my life that aren't interested in video games and don't play any of my creations. It's quite surprising that it's such a big ask for others to just play your games for an hour or two when you spent hundreds of hours making them. I think the most important thing to note here is that you're creating art for the people who do enjoy consuming it, not for those who don't. My mom doesn't play most of my games. That doesn't mean she doesn't love or support me. Try not to get those things confused. And if somebody doesn't value your work, then do it for somebody who does the next time around. Wish you all the best! :)
You just made me nostalgic because you remembered the first games I created and how seeing others play them made me feel. Thank you!
That's how the game dev addiction always starts... That's awesome! :P
The sheer number is super impressive. Since I only started learning coding in the last few years of school, my own "games" were mostly level drawings on paper (and I did tons of those), or custom campaigns in games like Age of Empires or Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. After that I started making hacks of various Mario games and only a couple of years ago began using Unity. It's interesting that our journeys so far are completely different even though we are about the same age. Thanks for sharing all of these little games!
For sure. The journeys are always extremely different and that's great cause it means we'll all get to play a huge variety of indie games one day. There wouldn't be half es much creativity in the industry if everybody went the exact same path.
Someone had to make a fresh torge fangame, glad you did what was necessary!
Haha. Not sure if he ever saw it. It wasn't reeally that great anyways. :D
Wow! That's a lot of games. Loved watching this video. The amount of progress over the years is incredible and very inspiring😁
Merci.
Wow you are such a cool guy. I can just imagine how fun those collabs must have been for you guys. Thanks for showing us your games. I really enjoyed them.
It's often a mixture of fun and very exhausting. The fun parts are just the ones that stay in your memory the best. :D
07:25 "Du musst zum Kacken auf die Brücke ..." ich kann nicht mehr 😂
1:04 Hmm Interesting ship design xD
I still remember the game you made for your sister, with all her plushies :D I watched your old videos so much back then
edit: oh!! and I loved your nyan cat game, I still have the files for that somewhere
Haha. Yeah. Good times. :D
So cool to see how you've progressed over the years and how some of the ideas for will you snail snuck in along the way! Great video as always :)
Dude I fricking love your videos and personality
Appreciate the encouragement. Thanks.
Thanks for taking us on this journey Jonas! It's very cool to see where you've been and how far you've come.
You made an impressive number of games.
For will you snail you should make a level builder where people can make Minigames and such. Loved the video by the way!
he's struggling enough with development but that would be fun
edit: maybe as a update
Loved the video, I thin it's always good to take a step back sometimes and have a look at where you came from and where you are now.
And same for me about going to games schoo, my university course is games related, and yes it taught me stuff, but the main thing I got out of it was great friends!
Wow dude, you've made more games than some people have ever played. xD I really loved the Islanders, and probably played it more than any other indie game in my life. There's just some special feeling about stacking those houses in a puzzle manner, wish you made more games like that one. Keep up the good work!
I love that you mentioned to archive your games! I've lost so many games to the sands of time
Wow! You've made so many so many games! What a mad lad.
I love how Will You Snail started as "a little side project"!
Keep going Jonas! We can't wait for Will You Snail.
Jonas, I love you, your work is great, RELEASE WILL YOU SNAIL, PLEASE
You didn't specify when. ;)
You've made Islander!!! Incredible!! My son spent days on it!
I love seeing positive progress from someone starting from the bottom. it gives me motivation to keep growing. thank you for sharing
Man, seeing Will it Snail at the end gave me shivers down my spine. Can't wait my dude!
well done on your will you snail trailer, finally starting to feel like a hook!
Your history of game dev was very cool and interesting to watch!!
beeindruckend! weiter so du hast echt Talent glaub ich
This video is the better version of the same one 3 years ago! Thank you Jonas for re-making this!!!
Yeah, it needed a redo. Happy you enjoyed it.
@@JonasTyroller Next one be like:
3 years of Will you Snail?, what a travel!!
XD
Awesome 👍 thank you for this interesting video! Liked and subscribed!
wow so many games. I havent finished one yet haha
You are fantastic and really inspiring. I also started years ago - I think at this point it is almost 20 years ago but seeing amazing games other people were doing I felt so ashamed that I completely discarded the games. They are probably somewhere there in the internet. I think I may go for a hunt and try to find them and actually make a video about them :). Thank you for the motivation!
Awesome video! Its really cool to see your journey. The pink fishy game reminds me a lot of death worm, the old mobile game. That game was fun!
Yeah true. It reminds me of that as well. :D
It's so cool how the quality improvements seems to be exponential
The Will You Snail outro literally gave me goose bumps!
Seeing so many games really shows how much effort you put in to be such a better game developer now
Amazing amount of games! I've definitely noticed the same effect that Game School had on the quality of my games. Very inspiring!
I wish I would have saved more of my games as well :D Looks really fun to go trough a lot of game, you made :) Do you store all of the games you make? Respect for making that many games!
Very intrigued by the last game in the video. Looks like it must have been a lot of fun making all of those. Hopefully, many more games to come.
A bit depressing one with "nicht das Katzenfutter fressen" (don't eat the cat food) and the logo of the employment office as enemies...
5:18 the first video I ever saw from you was about this game… Nostalgie
I can see that you are quite confident with your art since the beginning. Wish i could be like that
the Will you snail? trailer at the end gave me goose bumps
Definitely good advice to archive your games. I lost most games I made as a teenager because the CDs and disks I stored them on became unreadable over time. These days we have internet storage which is hopefully better. There's still a risk that we will lose the tools to turn the source code into an executable, so keep both. Maybe we'll also need to keep a copy of the OS they ran on too. No one said it was easy. Maybe keep videos of them too, just in case.
wow that quite a lot of growth, much love
Ayy, that was a great ride! Amazing :)
Yo that vr game with animation concept has mad potential. Honestly I would like to play a game like that. Create your own movies in vr moving assets physically with your hands. Sounds fun
Your snail game looks so fu*king good im not even joking so excited to try it lol
Seeing this progression is super cool
I'm jealous you have so many of your games archived. More than half of what I made is lost forever. My first games were made in basic maybe in 1990 and were lost in some floppy disk. Sometimes I think about trying to recreate them. I also admire that a lot of the games you show seem to be quite complete, like they have more than one level and one mechanic which is what I usually did as a kid.
This one video sparks joy
Happy you enjoyed it. Not sure how much credit I can take for archiving my work. I lost a lot of games as well and the ones I do have were mostly archived by my dad. :D
trailer was the first thing to give me goos bumps in years
i catch myself whistleling the theme for will you snail at work so often
Amazing to see how you have progressed in your game dev journey and I wish u all the best luck.
p.s: can you please release Will You Snail on xbox and play station i'd love to play it on my console
Hey Jonas, love your content and your journey. What school in Berlin did you go to?
OMG! I have Islanders and left a positive review (which was the reason some friends bought it too ^^), its's an awesome game
3:05 - 3:10 "No don't eat the cat food!" "We also want some"
Jonas eats cat food confirmed!
You are really a game-mechanics person. I like that. I think your collabs are among your best work because you collab with people who are quite strong in art. I think a successful game is mainly a combination of great mechanics and great art.
I like focusing on the mechanics. That's definitely true. ;)
Wtf its crazy ive actually played 9:01 islander on Xbox before even finding your channel. Great game
Wow! That's some experience! Real inspiration and motivation for others - make things and practice to achive greatness.
3:01 hilfe :D heftig, wie viel du gemacht hast
That was a good video. it ended perfectly. good luck sir.
That's a heckin' lot! How many of these can we play? Sorry I just... thought some of the earlier ones on here looked super fun to play and would like to try them if I could, maybe a library/site/thing with each of them? Not that you have to, of course barely anyone would be comfortable showing their first works, but maybe consider the idea? :)
Nice will you snail theme song!!!🎶
what game engines did you use for the beginning of your games? They look simple, and I want to be a game developer. It would be a good start.
1:26 COMIC SAAAAAAANS!
We've all been there.
Thanks! You just showed me again that good things need time ;)
I AM STILL SUPER HYPED FOR WILL YOU SNAILLLL
Awesome video
I really like the pinball tower defense concept!
I really like that VR game, one really cool twist could be a tower defense game where you animate each towers movement, also maybe the towers would shoot each other if they got to close together
Wow such a large selection of games. I wish I had that but unfortunately a laptop crash in 2013 deleted my old game maker projects.
For me as a German this was even more funny with the little voice lines
I would really like to play some of these games. Are they available anywhere?
especially that mining/turn-based tower defence looks fun!
hey Jonas, do you know how to fix a burnout? i really dont want to be stuck in it. i want to make progress in my game project but i just have pretty much no dopamin and spirit
Which tools and language did you use in the last games? Do you use some engines?
This is so amazing!!!! I am a second-year chemistry student and plan to start my game development journey this year with Unity. So this video kind of inspired me to start early.
Könntest du ein Video machen, in dem du über dein Studium in Parlin erzählst? Das wäre interessant für jene, die auch überlegen in Berlin zu studieren und gerne Erfahrungsberichte sammeln möchten :)
Ich finde es nämlich schwierig in Deutschland für Gamedesign etwas zu finden.
Interesting I liked the concept of the space fighter game, maybe it could be interesting if you took a concept from an old game and revamped it into something new :)
5:30 super hard puzzles and super hard combat. That's like will you snail
Oh my. The primary school I attended back in my childhood (in Singapore) had Game Maker 6 installed on their computer lab PCs, and I built some weird random and boring thing that I then left on random school PCs. I of course lost it when my old external hard drive died (I couldn't afford a NAS back then, and they were very new things at the time anyway)
Jonas, if you ever do see this, how long do you think Will You Snail will take to beat when it gets released?
you are awesome man!
TD with mining mechanics and Mad Programmer are very interesting projects. You are my best motivator :D
Hell yeaah. Stay motivated! :D
You should string a bunch of these together to make a game about you stuck inside of a isekai of your own games. It could be really fun to show cut scenes of what some of these top down games look like from the characters point of view
3:55 "Cause the other ones are not scary....
or not intentional" 😹
that will you snail soundtrack gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it
I miss using game maker. I remember using all those assets. I fondly remember trying to recreate Mario because... of course I did. This gives me so much nostalgia.
wow, the WYS trailer looks so good by now!
What programming languages did you use to make all those games? (And wich graphical libraries?)
I love the little "side project" as you so call it but I hope it will be free.
Omg. I made that rain of death game in Scratch over a year ago...without ever having seen this video! It even had a red player and all the lines coming down, though without the background.
Hello,fellow programmer here! Your journey had a lot of fun :) You had more fun than me in my work. I only wish I will have more time for side projects like this. Kudos, good luck and have even more fun developing :)
After watching this, Google suggested me your clip about finishing your game in a week. It was about your smail game and it's from 2 years ago...
