Man, these games are all high quality. The fact you made them in such a small time crunch shows how efficient and good you've become as a game designer & developer
You know? I actually like the Gather Drone game you made. If I were in your shoes, I don't know how I would've made all the music, art and programming for the game in 48 hours by yourself. Huge props to you, Vimlark. Also, I would LOVE an update to the game.
Really insightful when it comes to making the core concept fun! Allthough I currently can’t even imagine making a fun game in 72 hrs unless it’s something like Tetris which doesn’t require variety
I like game jams because they allow you to make a small game and once you’ve made it, you can expand on it and make it into a proper and very interesting one
The spaceship game has a very interesting concept! Definitely feels like the base concept to a space survival game or similar. The sacrifice game may be flawed, but making a Zelda-like or game similar to Binding of Isaac is definitely on my dream game list. If you ever revisited that genre, you could make a more traditional upgrade system where you get stronger over time, or in a roguelike I'm thinking a system where a potion *could* give you a beneficial effect, but it may do nothing or harm you instead.
With the second game, maybe separating the winning and losing conditions into separate dimensions (rather than them both being at polar ends of a one dimensional measure) would be an easy way to make it better. In other words make it so you can be close to winning and also close to losing at the same time.
The first game's core mechanics feel like they're an iteration or two from really being something. My thoughts on a couple: 1. At the start of the game, the player is just overpowered. Makes losing power feel less...bad. 2. Instead of decreasing linear stats, add special "curses," like the specialized boons/items you can come across in roguelites like FTL, Binding of Isaac, and Hades. Maybe some of them give you a little perk alongside the curse, but they're all more interesting than just losing a few points of damage. Obviously not so practical for a game jam, but still.
just got into pixel art and how i love thinking about making a indie game, sadly i dont know how to code no money to buy the software a slightly good laptop butt i dont know how to code.
I would love to see the game improved, may be start a series in which you post a video occasionally or to your will. May be do it as a relaxing project ;)
You could have made the player start as slow, big, and powerful, and then become small, agile, but weak (more movement/dodging focused with more ranged attacks and less melee)
Um, maybe I'm out of the loop here, but when are more MWG devlogs? Nothing against your game jam devlogs, it's all great content, but you haven't done an MWG in like forever

I made some ludum dare games but not in ludum dare time, in my free time only with the concept
that very good way to make small games and get better!
Personal jams are a ton of fun!
I love your frequent upload schedule. Your videos are always so well paced, and genuinely interesting. Thank you for Making this channel.
We started with the the same Ludum Dare :)
Yoo, me too!
How wild, same here!!

Love your creativity with the games you make. The robot gathering energy has so much potential
Great to see your thoughts on past builds. Very interesting.

The spaceship game looks like alot of fun! I would love to see it be more fleshed out.
I like the concept for the last game I think it could be fleshed out and become very fun.
Cool retrospective man.
Cool set of games. I often wonder if it's worth revisiting old jam games at something like optical jam.

Some really good advice in here, thank you :)
that drone is looking kinda THICC ngl
Im glad Core uses lua because I know everything lua
Just testing an idea: what game genre do you think the robot game falls into?
Can you make a tutorial on how to make transitions in construct 3. I’ve wondered how you do those like when you die in around and back.
I'll add it to the list for quick tips to make
Vim devlogs my favorite
9:07 it looks pretty cool. Maybe do something with a similar concept?

i think the second game worth an update
My favorite RUclipsr has posted again!! YAY
you inspire me to keep developing
Woooo YOU GOT A SPONSOR! nice job!
Really cool!

I don't know what it is but I really enjoy your passion an learning keep it up.
Yes please update the drone game. I LOVE the movement in it
Bro you deserved more subscribers..
Help what game development software works on windows 7
I want one for the vim jam
Are you going to continue your ureal journey soon
At some point yes. 3D is fun to play with but I much prefer working in 2D. Haven't had an idea I want to pursue yet.
I was on your live stream I was drawing u. but sadly my chat didn't work 😢
Wait postmortem? Vimlark you aren't dead...are you? Please don't be dead, you're a great RUclipsr ;-;
I use construct as my main coding program and I love it, I just hate how infinite events are blocked by a paywall
Hey vimlark do you have a twitch
In first game why did somebody post Tina belcher from the bobs burgers in post???
No clue. I think it was someone reacting to something and it got caught in the timelapse.
ok
You could have made the player start as slow, big, and powerful, and then become small, agile, but weak (more movement/dodging focused with more ranged attacks and less melee)
How do you get sponsers
Want update for gather robot
The only thing I don't like about this video is that it ends.
make a multiplayer online game plz
Dude his biggest game is a multiplayer game what are you taking about
@@CocoaBeans660 name plz

Online multiplayer doesn't interest me that much. I'll be looking at it at some point but it's not a priority for me.
@@Vimlark how well am I going to wait for that video

Why post mortem? He died?
I'm sad because my computer is a freaking potato and can't run it
