Yikes, right? And most of the devs seemed more interested in showing off their RUclips channel, than actually doing great work for the game. It's too bad.
@Blackthornprod I would rather wait longer than have a rushed video that isn't complete. The reaction is honestly what makes the whole video worth watching.
I enjoyed this one it just felt a bit rushed, I would love to see a long form version. Also it a bit jarring when the developers only had 3 seconds to promote themselves and were then cut off, didn't seem very fair considering these videos only exist because of their collaborations.
This is why i hate RUclips shorts tiktok and other short form content Other people dont have the attention span to watch longer videos, this causes the retention to go down, making RUclipsrs post shorter and shorter content because other people click off This video had 11 devs it could've been 25-28 minutes long
@@FriedMonkey362 Yeah, unfortunately, it's said that it's best to keep videos under 20m these days. People need to learn how to retain attention. I've literally made posts that were the size of a paragraph and young teens/adults usually complain that it's too many words. That anything needs to be expressed in only a few sentences. Then when I make fun of them, with another long post, they send this image of a person freaking out with a bunch of words on the screen saying "it's too much." I really find it sad as a writer. xD
@@sanguinepub I can completely agree. I mean the only time i feel like its too much is when its a topic i find boring or dislike. but yeah when your having an actually conversion online and then they just say its too much only when its a single paragraph is sad. i hate reading but its sad to see them not even attempt to try it.
@@FriedMonkey362 I agree, content is going downhill because people's attention spans are getting worse, seeing not only teenagers but also now some kids watching short form content like tik tok and youtube shorts is really sad, I hope this changes in the future, realistically I can't see that happening but I really hope it changes
No way! At first I thought “This is too ambitious, it won’t be great…” but the last devs really brought it all together and everyone did a lot of amazing work. You should definitely do more of these ones inspired by other games. As always, I’m (Ex)Gamerworks leaving my lil appreciation for this video!
As if there was no devs reactions, man that's literally the best part of this series!!! Please please please don't rush the upload next time and include that segment, that's what makes it so enjoyable seeing everyone's reactions and inputs in the end!!
@@AlexPBenton dude you were awesome, I was watching the vid with each person like oh cool, but then you started I was like, this dude has confidence, and then you started implementing things left and right and essentially reviving the end goal of the game, it was stagnating for too long before the boss was added I was like THANK YOU when you started talking about the boss, I thought the devs were just going to forget the final objective. I’m just starting out as a game dev and I can’t get a decent movement system done in 6 hours, so you were amazing in my eyes 😅 I wish I could have seen the rest of your part, no offense to the earlier devs but you made some more interesting changes and you have a good voice for this type of thing
Massive thanks to the Blackthorn team for inviting me to participate in this one!! I had a real blast 🤩 the other devs absolutely smashed it, so cool to see how this game came out in the end
I loved your idea to switch to trainers instead of the sphere. No hate on the sphere, but the trainer route seemed more organic here. If the sphere was just a line that pushed you along slowly, it may have worked a bit better.
I wonder how the conversation between blackthornprod and the last three dev went... Blackthornprod: Would you like to join my "No communication game dev challenge" ? The last three devs : Yeah...Mind if we communicated?
i would love to see a challenge where they do 2 rounds of the developers seeing what the others did to the game and going back and adding more, it would be fun to see their reaction and how they would adjust it differently!
I know moonleaf technically had 3 devs working on it, but god damn did they add a lot of much needed features, and polish the hell out of the ganeplay and visuals
I love this concept, it's really cool, and you're doing a great job tweaking it to add some variety to it. I would like to suggest another way to tweak it: Wouldn't it be interesting to invite people a bit more specialized in some part of the process of making a game? Perhaps you could start with a game artist who would make mostly sprites or animations and pass the game to a dev who would make mostly the core gameplay mechanic before a level designer would polish the gameplay loop. I don't know, just thought about the idea, it might be tough to actually implement or might not be that fun since it would feel less chaotic, but it could lead to more dramatic decision-making since reworking someone else's work would be a real risk (most likely, a level designer is slowing at making art than a game artist).
This project looked great! Moonleaf's polish and art overhaul at the end was great and made the game look finished! Hopefully we can see some dev reactions to the game! :D
Get some people who haven’t participated in making the games to play through at the ends of such videos to get reactions too? Also thanks for these fun videos. They helped me get started on my own learning code adventure. I kept putting it off.
Man that was awesome, and there's a little thing I wanna appreciate specially. What Iris (I guess that's the name) did at 16:46, honestly expresses the great problem-solving skill.
I love watching all of these and I know it’s a lot of work to get all these people together but keep it up, you’re what people need to see in the game development community ❤❤❤
VAV really made this into a game. It was looking woefully inadequate beforehand. Not poo-pooing on the devs before him because they laid down the groundwork, but he really made it all make sense.
This game seems awesome but I'm honestly pretty disappointed by how rushed the video was. It could have easily been another 10-20 minutes longer and would have been a much better experience. It almost seems disrespectful to the hard work of all the devs when you rush out a video just to stick to an upload schedule. Also as others have said, not seeing the devs reaction at the end kind of defeats the whole point of the video. I really hope that future videos are less rushed. EDIT: VAV is goated
I love the fact that the design of the collectable monster never changed throughout the whole development process. I was so sure that at least *one* dev would make concept art for future devs to use as reference, or one of the devs reuse monster models that they happen to have. But no. All of the new monsters are just reskins XD
There’s a RUclipsr named seso who does team graphic design challenges where each team get the same prompt for a fake company and then have a certain amount of time to design for fake company. It would be cool if you did a similar thing but with game development. Both teams receive the same vague prompt describing a game and then compete to “win” By designing a better game that fits the prompt.
A video idea. How about you put something like 12 developers in a discord and let them all work at the same time, creating complete chaos. They can't communicate beforehand and have to finish the game in a short amount of time. I got that idea from watching the GMTK video of Jonas Tyroller.
One of the best looking final products, I love big king robot man I do also think that upload schedule > video quality doesn't make a lot of sense as a way to evaluate what's important
@Blackthornprod I would advice you to learn from LTTs mistake of focusing more on upload schedule instead of the quality of the video. Also, maybe make a part 2 of some challenges and make the same devs, or others, go again. For e.x, after the 11th developer, it could restart so the first developer takes over and goes for another round. And you could make that to a part 2. Then you could also release the games for download for the patreons or something like that? God bless and take care
One of the if not the best project in this format. I loved it before and i still of there is a mix of single and team devs working on a project. Thanks!
Great video! Love seeing these from you guys. Though, I definitely did miss the reactions at the end. I'd rather have had to wait a little longer and had a longer video with the payoff of the reactions. But, great video nonetheless. Keep it up, guys!
I think he didn't understand the lighting setup so when he made day night, he blew it up on accident probably just didn't have time to fix it. I was sad to see that as well. He could have kept the lights the same and faded to blue to do day night. Or another directional light to turn on at night to make things blue
Chiming in to add to all the comments about the dev reactions being a huge part of the payoff. We got to see the changes, but didn't actually get to see the game be played once it was finished. A good video with a huge anti-climax
I typically enjoy the video way more with the reactions of developers. I also don't mind those being a part 2, but they are uploaded concurrently. That makes individuals who only want to watch this part watch it, and those who want to watch the reactions, well there is a separate video for that. But, I think it would get more views if uploaded at the same time(just right in the description part 1 and part 2)
Can you extend the footage for each Dev's projects? Feels like they are very cut off. I would suggest letting then know how long they have to shout out whatever they want. 5 secs, 7 secs, etc.
![Seungmin "그렇게, 천천히, 우리(As we are)" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kAzmhLHePqU/mqdefault.jpg)
Aw, no footage of the devs reacting to the final product? That was like... the payoff. Seems like half a video without it.
I agree
Only halfway through the video... that was the part I was looking forward to.
Right dafuq
Was thinking the same, was waiting to see how the game actually looks like and plays like. Looks like that went missing in the editing?
Yikes, right? And most of the devs seemed more interested in showing off their RUclips channel, than actually doing great work for the game. It's too bad.
the final devs really did the game justice! tho' why wasn't there a segment where the devs play the game and react to it???
Unfortunately, we ran out of time and really wanted to stick to our upload plan. Reactions will be back in future videos!
The most likely answer is that they probably didn't want the video to exceed 20min (as shorter videos usually do better). Too bad really.

No dont seperate
It was a blast to participate in this one together with our team!

We could try and do a mega Team edition 👀
@@BlackthornprodYou should do some crazy 100 dev video, and get a fully completed and polished game.

Im confused on what happened to the textures after Shiba Dog Studios, it looked so nice before
I have no idea what happened to the textures, either
Yeah, it looked ugly as fuak afterwards.
What happened to the dev reactions at the end to the finished game?

Was also surprised it ended up working out!
I would love another part in the video, where the former developers try this game out for a few minutes (just because they all worked on it)
usually they do have a segment where all devs react to it, but for some reason they didnt do it in this one
5:37 environment looked better to me and feels a little lacking after 7:05
Right? I was like "Oop. We're ugly now?" 😂😂
Agreed
exactly, dont know what the fcuk she shiba guy did
right
Really wish we could've seen all the devs play since seeing their reactions really drives home how much has changed from start to finish
The 1st dev actually did a lot with his time
Heyyy thanks!
Yeah I was disappointed in how little devs 2-8 seemed to do with their time in comparison
@@DickSenter the guy who modeled the monsters and vav did a lot too
This is a rule: 80% of work needs 20% of time and the rest 20% of work 80% of time. We face this in dev all the time :)
@@rickloyd8208 Isn't it the first 90% takes 90% of the time, and the other 10% takes 90% of the time?
5:02 "But I didn't wanna undo what the previous dev did" - some guy named Turbo needs to learn this
Agreed
"the game loop is done"
ten seconds later
"there is no game loop"
Can u make a game where like 8-12 creators work on and it’s a multiplayer game and in the end the creators all play it together?
That would be a banger video
They have done this, just with less devs

Nice work everyone, cool to see how far this game got.
Agreed 👍
One of the best games ya'll have made so far lol. I like that every dev really just built on the last dev's work.
Why did "Shiba Dog Studios" just ruin the graraphics though?

We need the reaction!
it would of been cooler if at the Castle the gate animation had like some other thing then grass that its going through 17:50
but it does look fun
ngl the 2nd dev predicted the whole palworld premise. SHOOTING AND CAPTURING MONSTERS
Chiming in to add to all the comments about the dev reactions being a huge part of the payoff. We got to see the changes, but didn't actually get to see the game be played once it was finished. A good video with a huge anti-climax
No reaction of the first few devs playing it?
You should try to do, (11 dev try comminucate) just to see the difference of without communicate or with communicate! Continue your video I like them!
it's quite unfortunate that there was nobody this time to come in and clean up everything
And with that, Palworld was born
Combining 3rd person with 1st person in this way sounds awesome

14:48 what is the notes app called?
Can you extend the footage for each Dev's projects? Feels like they are very cut off.
I would suggest letting then know how long they have to shout out whatever they want. 5 secs, 7 secs, etc.
I love how the first dev already had better animations than some official Pokémon attacks
Watching these videos are getting better and better every single time
The only change I'd make to this game is fixing the monster movement so they don't glide around during battle :P what a fun game
