7 DEVS Make a GAME without COMMUNICATING! (centipede edition) 

Every dollar in support of the centipede movement is incredibly appreciated! Check out our very first strategy card game now on KICKSTARTER right here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackthornprod/juicy-centipedes You'll love it!

4:00 'At this point I'm feeling like the drone clashed a little bit with the artistic vision. But I didn't want to ouright remove it because someone had probably spent a lot of time programming this.'' If only every Dev had this level of respect. Wonderful to hear!

The second dev really came in clutch making a proper game loop out of the initial idea

I dont know if its because of the new "cant remove" rule but this and the last taxi dragon videos had a way better end result than those "incidents" that happened last year

“At this point I was feeling like the drone clashed a bit with the artistic vision, but I didn’t want to outright remove it because somebody had probably spent a lot of time on it” *angelic singing descends from the skies as he is swept up into developer heaven*

7:01 That was me! Thanks for using my free models :) it's always such an honor to be featured in the videos.

the dev that fixed the weapon animations really changed the feel of the game and the before and after had me even saying YESSSSSSSSSS, the desire to play the game at that point was a 11/10.

I think for the more complete games, there should be a continuation video where the developers get another run at the game, where the try and finish the game completetly, because some of these games actually have promise, and its a shame they never get completed! Just an idea!

If one of these games was chosen to be turned into a full product, I think this game or the superhero game would be the best candidates. This one is really well put-together and it came to life really fast with just the first 3 devs, and it still kept getting better.

I remember reading that Gandhi quote back in high school and I had no idea what he was on about. Now it's all so clear

I must say, this is likely the finest game to emerge from these challenges. I appreciate the developers' decision not to discard any elements but instead to expand upon what they had. Truly an excellent game, folks.

Thanks so much for the invite Noa! It's crazy how close the levels at the end were to my initial vision!

all devs have the same braincell on this one. good job

ever since "The Incident", I always go into these videos now thinking "Who's gonna mess it up this time?", but this time I'm just really impressed. Good job!

Really love how this one turned out. Dude i cant get enough of these. Keep up the good work! lemme know if you ever wanna do one of these including someone that doesnt remotely know anything about any aspect of game design! :D (i dont recommend LOL)

Thanks a ton for having us! This was a blast. Really enjoy how it turned out and had a ton of fun working on it.

Was great taking part in this! I loved the outcome so much. Good job to everyone involved! Also, there's a cat!? I never found that

Very cool of rugbug redfern (the second dev) to reskin the drone into a fairy instead of removing it because he guessed the first dev had spent a lot of time on it. Transformative but still respectful of the work of the other dev

Is it just me or did the game turn out pretty freaking good 🧐 Edit: Also, why the f did all the trees and rocks disappear in my version?! They weren't there when I loaded up the game, I swear!

Probably the best pass a game challenge on your channel. The dev who turned the drone into a fairy understood the assignment 100%. Don't take away the hard work someone put in, reimagine and adapt it to fit something better than before

RESPECT TO THE SECOND DEV for not removing the drone and actually respecting others work

"And then caffeine hit my body and I did this." *Proceeds to create a banger of an OST.*

this series is so great for so many reasons: - it provides a boost for devs to show off their projects in a decently popular channel - you get to see the way everybodys brains work from what they see to what they decide to add aswell as everyones specific talents like modelling, music or creative ideas - its really funny to see how clearly so many people have been inspired by dani in his short appearance on youtube aswell as some of the games that clearly made so many people decide that they wanted to make games and not just play them (it reminds me of how everybody i know studying to become an engineer has watched michael reeves, william osman, allen pan or others as they all do great jobs of showing what engineering is really like)

Good to see that people didn’t completely get rid of game mechanics and actually improved the game properly instead of games just randomly being changed into 4 different genres of games. With more time this could’ve been like an actual full game. I just feel like half the time each dev is making their own game each time but this time was different they stuck with the game and fully improved it.

This was my fav episode yet! Felt like the devs had a good amount of time to say their piece without disrupting the pacing of the video. Def think this one could benefit from a community showcase of further development!

Danny Deer did such a sick job with the combat, really cool adition and maybe my personal favorite even tho cowsins was pretty impressive aswell

Oh god.. The centipede game finally came true

Cloud dragon ☁🐉 mob spawner is genius, great work, Joe! Adds so much character to the world. Can't wait to play Floramancer (07:25) project turned out well imho, good job everyone!

This series was a huge miss recently but when it hits it hits! Great job BTP and devs!

You guys should do a sequel series with communication where you guys come back to old games to improve on them with the original devs lol.

Adding those sound effects improved the gaming experience tremendously. Really shows how important good audio is.

Had a blast working on this with you guys. Can’t wait to do more, or maybe release this!

Good to see the version of this series where it is first made by solo devs and then a dev team puts in good effort to round the project together.

I really like when someone comes in and polishes up whats already there at the very end. This one particular one felt a little disjointed because of how much polished content was added but I think it's an absolutely necessary step, and a great improvement on what was already there. Y'all (all the devs, not just the last team) did great.

I was just watching your older videos, not kidding! Pass the project is one of my favourite things on youtube. Thanks for inspiring me (Fellow game dev aspirant)

Feb 10th was the Lunar New Year, a year of Green Dragon. Adding the cloud dragon was a nice easter egg.

Dev 5 was just like “let me do the minimal and get it out of here” lol

I like it when there is a game development team in the end wich can finish the game loop and polish it. The games come out much better then. Great video😁

Yooo, the second dev was putting in work. Not to mention how he didn’t outright remove the drone and instead restyled it to not remove the first dev’s hard work.

Love how blackthorn embraced the centipede meme

I think this is the first time I'm not mad at any of the devs' everyone did a fantastic job, especially the second one!

This is one of the best pass the game challenges you’ve done. Great job to all devs involved!

I like how Rugbug changed the drone to a fairy! I really dislike when people just remove stuff previous developers added. It goes against the spirit of the challenge and wasted someone’s work, so it kinda turns me off from watching these kinds of videos after it happened a few times. But that was a nice redesign!

0:00 Bro, if you offer this project to other 5devs to have their own spine and make it a series until the game is finished, it will be exciting and build a lot of hype.

Game should definitely be updated.

0:26 lmfao i love that hes just adapted to it now

Absolutely wonderful to see how each built constructively on the last, amazing video! Never stop making them :)

Cant wait for the next one! That one was really cool! Loved how it turned out. These videos are awesome and im finding myself constantly looking out for your next video, such a unique idea and I cant wait to see what comes next

I would absolutely love to see this game get a little more time put into it and have all the things mentioned implemented! This is my favorite game to come out of this series yet!

Dang yall cooked with this one

Bro Danny came in SO clutch with that combat overhaul, That actually brought me so much joy-

This feels so cohesive. I would be super psyched to see a game like this worked on in a future jam. Devs did a great job in this one. Please do a sequel.

I have to say, the way you've owned the centipede thing with grace and humor is admirable.

I love the video and channel - but somebody has got to say it. 2 product plugs before 3 minutes and 4 by the end of the video is a bit much my guy

I really think that this game has some cool potential, i would love to see a continued version of the game, maybe adding co-op, bosses, and more floors, overall polishing and evolving it a little bit more and you guys will have a award winning game !

This series is so addictive to watch, all devs did an amazing job on this one. Ever since the "don't remove the previous dev's work" rule was implemented, all the recent games have turned out great. I especially like how each dev here prioritized a different aspect of the game and it turned out great

theres a video in your ad

YESSIR ANOTHER VIDEO

One of my favorites, but it definitely needed a tutorial. I like the idea of a challenge where each dev hides a Easter egg in the game.

I like that they actually build on each other, instead of removing is. Great road you guys went into! Love the content!

Like if u think they should try to get dani dev

If you accept ideas from fans, a neat idea for a video is having each dev have a second round in develepment. This may bring out more ideas seeing what people did with what they did earlier.

I have to give you guys props for handling criticism so well, a lot of people have gone over the top with their dislike for some of the decisions made in these videos and you guys have been able to listen to the community and put a spin of humor on it. Respect

this is what happens when the first devs actually create a game loop rather then tweaking visuals or AI

The last guys really saved the game. I don't know if they just put a f*** ton of effort into it or/and went over the time limit, but them being a bigger group and having 3D environment experience was the key. A problem arise though when game devs not experienced in the already set environment and settings (i.e. 3D) take part, because they don't have enough time to create a positive impact. I'd love that the next contestant I picked out after reviewing the game state, that would allow the game to flourish. I love how the fist 3 (I think) game devs all thought about Minecraft and strived towards a similar game. The sword attack added was also a really neat touch. It would be also interesting to get the game devs who participated in a "past-the-game" challenge to continue on their game, like a round 2.

Thanks dude, I love this concept. Continue like this

Wow killer stuff. Especially that last dev bringing it all together.

The dragon gives this guys birth 😂😂😂

can you do motion capture edition 2? cause the last one had a lot of potential and didnt use it at all

Hey great videos as always here !! That centipede game on kickstarter looks really juicy !!! I really hope it is a big success !! Way to go guys, as always keep rocking 🤩🤩

Wow this one looks insanely good, shoutout to each of these devs!!

Maybe do one where they communicate. Would be cool to see what great minds could make when they communicate.

It's amazing but... the fairy! 😮 They should have made it so the fairy can activiate portals but the enemies try to attack the fairy! Or control it to go in places you can't go using a magic flute! I like the idea of the sunstone, it is like you are Indiana Jones exploring a strange temple full of creatures to find it!

They cooked with this one, definitely the best project so far 🔥🔥🔥

nice work guys! Satisfying combat and game loop

I know no one cares but I just downloaded scratch and I'm taking my first steps into programming and game development wish me luck :)

First!

First time seeing one of these videos, what an awesome idea! Props to all the devs, they did an amazing job and executed it really well. I was especially hyped to see Joe Sullivan on this since I’ve been following the development of his game Floramancer for a while. His cloud dragon mob spawner idea was awesome, great job everyone!

Everyone really did a great job on this. I think it's the second time with one of these, I see alot of potential and would like to play a full version.

So cool man! Turned out really great. An idea I have is to release the game as open source and see if someone would continue on it 😄

Great episode! I actually enjoyed playing the game. Everyone seem to have really focused on making a cohesive game

This looks so cool. You guys should definitely release this game once it's finished!

Buff and healing items sounds like a good addition plus new resources for them.

Really love Constellation's logical approach to gamedev, and I think it works really well in this challenge.

Danny deers combat improvements were the best contribution. It makes the game look so much more playable.

Great turn out! Would have loved to hear more of the in-game sfx/music in the final reactions

i love the devs shouting out their games this is a beautiful video

I think this is my favorite game made by a pass the game so far, I would love to see more of what they talked about at the end put into it

You have a crazy art style man i love it! I'd definitely unique 🔥

@RugbugRedfern being in this is awesome. Knowing him from his incredible mod for lethal company to seeing him in this is insane, especially since I didn’t even know he made games

Wow, usually pass the game challenge ends up making something cool but not really with depth. This is the first game that actually interests me and leaves me wanting more expanded on this. I love what you all have made, keep up the great work!!!!

You guys have to make this a full product! It looks amazing!

I like how the last dev is a dev team to flesh and finish the project. Need to do that with all the future projects.

Constellation creative: 3 constellations and A F I S H

The improved combat system was awesome!

Having a team as the final dev is really cool, they were able to take the fully formed concept from the prior chaos and just expand and polish it into a game

FINALLY, A NEW UPLOAD AFTER LIKE A YEAR

Have to agree with the consensus; this is one of the best results I've seen come out of a pass the game challenge, looking forward to see what's next

hey BTP, what if, in the next challenge, you make it so when having (for example) 6 devs, the first dev works while in a call with the 4th dev, when the second dev works, he's in a call with the 5th dev, when the third dev works, he's in a call with the 6th dev, and when the 4th dev works on the project, the first dev is in a call with him? Just for us to see how different the project can be if two people think about ideas (even if only one of the two devs is actively working on the game)

this is a very very good way for RU-vid game devs to Unite , never stop making this videos please
