Some timestamps to help with navigation: 0:00 Introduction, rules, topic, and pre submission. 11:50 Making the game. 1:09:10 “Did I make a game?” Playing all the games.
31:00 Ah! So THAT’S why your character bodies wouldn’t push rigid bodies. I assumed it might have been a 3D thing. I’d already been setting up the layers as a performance habit. So the rigid body has to mask the layer that the player is on, but the player can’t mask the layer that the rigid body is on.
Did I really just spend 4 hours watching this video? Yes, I did. I wanted to see examples of games that could be produced in one hour. I was impressed. I might try one of these 1-hour jams myself, depending on the topic. We'll see. I will say that I just love your personality, @HyperGameDev! You are so positive and encouraging; it's great to see that.
So glad you tuned in and stayed for everyone's games! And thank you for the kind words, it's important to me to honor folks for even joining this thing we do. Hope to see you live sometime!
1:09:30 Oh. The “Q:” was more out of habit from last time. I still used the question thing at the top. I guess I was wondering if “Q: <Game title>” was the format you wanted us to use in the questions thing.
heyy thanks for playing my game!! i’m actually sneepsnoop on itch - made this with GB studio like the troll game which is actually such a disaster for randomisation lol… learned a lot though and the prompt for this was such a cool challenge!!
Yeah it was my pleasure 🎉 The pixel art you put together is so crisp and delicious. Great job making something happen. Cool that you used GB Studio for both this and the orc one!
Noo… I keep getting ads while listening and trying to do other stuff. I have to go back to my phone to skip, only to sometimes find out that it’s unskippable…
Nooo!! That's not good. I know it's too late for your watching/listening to it, but I removed all the mid-rolls. It seems like RU-vid randomly ("automatically") added "mid-roll" ads for the VOD despite me choosing specific spots during the stream 🙄... So if I continue with adstuff (well, I may not), I'll have to come through and delete those after every livestream 😵💫. I'm waiting to see what kind of revenue comes from this stream's experiments before planning how to use/not use ads in the future. My primary goals are not hindering the existing content, and balancing that with what might actually support me making the streams. I expect that the revenue won't justify the interruption. Anyway, thank you for letting me know. I'm just experimenting right now so it's incredibly helpful to have this feedback.
24:00 Why not start with level two or later? The first level would probably be better to design once you know more about the game, as that would be one of the first things players see. You could even build level one or the tutorial last.
Totally! I think it can always be remade. In fact, I expect that it will. My reasoning is to be able to actually start playing "a version" of the game. So I can start to experience a sense of progression instead of just ambling through endless dev levels. But that's a really good idea to come back and remake the first level(s) based on how the rest of the game turns out. Will do tbh. No tutorials though. I hate tutorials. Haha
Lol yes exactly. The full story no one asked for, but I'm gonna tell anyway: I saw a lot of my old livestreams being recommended on another account and panicked because I don't really want those 8 hour+ VODs (that don't get watched much) to invade folks' recommended just because they thumbs up a lot of HGD videos. So I mass-Unlisted a ton of old streams, accidentally unlisting *this* week's streams in the process 😆... Well I forgot that the channel was also only a couple watch hours away from getting RU-vid Partner, when I realized that Unlisting all of those VODs reset all of the watch hour progress 🤦🏽♀️... So I've now made Public a lot of past livestreams, hit RU-vid Partner, and... Idunno I guess I'm leaving them up for a bit again before I go recklessly mass-Unlisting 😅. I'll be releasing the channel's first proper RU-vid video (ie, not a livestream) in the next month or two, and will definitely have VODs cleared out by then, probably. Except for like the latest week or two.
