I Made a Game Where YOU are a Spider 

Honestly the game jam game not turning out well wasn’t your fault at all. 48 hour jams have always felt like a way to normalize crunch in a “fun” way and it’s the main reason I only join the ones that span a couple of days. I’m excited to try the game out! Mario Party DS was one if my favorite DS games growing up.

9:00 People say you shouldn't make the game you want but make a smaller simpler version of it. What you did was make the absolute bare minimum, then when the game was done, you made it a little better, then a little longer, then again and again and again; eventually leading to what you originally wanted to make. Making the game you want is overwhelming but sometimes even a smaller version can be just as overwhelming; making the game at a bare minimum and then improving it is such a better way to look at projects and is something i wish i did when i started my project. I knew i couldnt make this open world game with a dozen biomes and creatures, so i settled on a small island with a couple biomes and animals in each. Looking back i should of made a single area with one biome and one animal, then slowly expand that. Instead i became overwhelmed and now rarely work on it, what you did during the gamejam week is what i do all the time; speaking of, i need to get back to work... eh maybe after a few more youtube videos.

I like that you didn't compromise spider nature by decreasing number of eyes to make it more sympathetic and instead stylized actual eyes to achieve same effect

Remember, making games its not about "how good of a game you can make" But about how much you learn when making them

I played your game, you were the first dev i looked up

The whole "getting hunted through a living room"-theme gives me flashbacks to the Tom and Jerry Tales game on the DS. The game is very similar to how this turned out and it's awesome tbh.

Love spiders, love games about spiders. This is a gem right here :)

I'm so impressed by this! You've definitely taken a leap in your game development abilities. Not only is it a typical LazyAlarm video (bug-themed characters, running out of time during development, aiming to replicate something then going off the rails with creative ideas), it's your best one yet! Super excited to see what comes next. :)

“But was it worth doing myself? No!” Subbed Hobbyist here, love the story

Have you looked in the doc about adding _col at the end of the model and when it is imported it should add collision it may be the file name - I think you can also chnage the type of node it used in the import tab.

the "angry birds, but you build the houses" idea actually seems like a cool concept.

I really do think, if you carry this game on, it could be an amazing Online racing game.

A masterpiece of a video - as always

I love how you put “in Godot” in the title

At first I thought this game was kill it with fire Because the art style is amazing!

The fist few seconds I saw this game, I was gonna mention Mario Party DS' Dust Buddies but then you brought it up anyway. I am still learning to develop in Godot as well, so this is super inspiring!

Nice, love getting a new video after deciding to subscribe a few days ago and finished watching most of your videos. Nice work!

Actually an amazing idea and taking inspiration of the Mario party game is funny as! Good work

Ah, yes. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs reference. Love it.

Im not sure if you know this, but you can make a collision shape for a mesh wayy quicker then by blocking it out by clicking the mesh button on the upper bar and clicking create trimesh collision shape. Its really useful

There's a spider living in a web in my room rn(Possible Arachnarun reference???)

This one is really good. I love the graphics. Although I could use a bit more speed on that spider. I only got past the blocks one time in 30 runs, and promptly got trapped in a bag of chips.

Very nice. I did something similar this year, I did an auto-scrolling 2D game where you play a swordfish fighting off divers, fishermen, and ocean garbage.

Ayyyyyyy hes BACKKK BABY!!!!! I’m still grinding for sub 57 in TTT btw YEAHHH

Great video, the game looks really fun, I'm gonna give it a try

6:44 * nostalgia hits *

wow, what a rollercoaster! great job keeping working on the game, it's certainly easy to give up when it gets hard

This godot engine is something else Making games is sooo easy with this 👌👌🔥🔥

the tux paint Buh duh beehh was literally SO NOSTALIGIC AAAA

Great video, I hope the fulltime youtube thing is going well. I take a lot of inspiration from channels like yours :)

i love it, this such a cool idea and a good execution!

Dust buddies is actually my favorite mario party mini game

You make some great stuff, very cool

I'm mostly just so proud of you for making the spider anatomically correct ❤

You should have at least 100k subs. This is a really high-quality vid!

Cell machine: You better get a community… this game bettter have an alive community like us… pls, we need an opponent

As long as you learned something, then absolutely worth it.

i literally said “like dust buddies from mario party” before clicking on this. dust buddies was my favorite mini game

Tux Paint brings back so many memories

When you explained the premise of the game the first thing I thought of was dust buddies, love to see the Mario party ds rep that game was my childhood

You cant go wrong without the bouncing dvd video 😆

Oh, you bet I'm gonna play this! Games like that are my jam!

Cool game. Love it

I think this game would be perfect for mobile. You should put it there!

So cool! I'd say it was worth it 🙏

you made a proper game and that's what we really want.

This kind of reminds me of the opposite of kill it with fire

“And more bugs of course” What do you mean? I only see one… XD

taking the time you need and having it be more time than you intended is no shame. We all work at a different pace and some people work slower. So long as you get the smallest steps done, you're making progress. And you might not be lazy, I know from experience that this sounds a lot like adhd. But also look up quality of life improvements to your workflow like auto importing blender to godot and clicking the Mesh button in the top middle to add simplified collision

Lazy alarm I love your videos and your games, Greetings from Argentina

relatable asf, great video!

this is basically just a pc version of subway surfer game

we need part 2 for the modding series, idk but that was really simple but i've watched it like 3 times lol!

You're back!! 🎉

This video is super valueable, your take on the how to manage your mental state when making games is really useful to me, thank you

it looks like a GameCube/DS game, i like it!

A 2ND PERSON GAME?!?!? thats sick as hell dude!

OMG I wanted to make a game with playable spiders tooooo! :D

6:16 Table chair toilet sink FORTNITE spoon eggs

Take youre Time a Masterpiece cant be rushd

THE DVD TOUCHED THE CORNER!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!

this is truly a piece of art

I never knew a game where you play as spider will be good

Finally its Lazy Alarm’s return

Now imagine an MMO where all the players are spiders making webs. :3c

Wow very well done Now that you finally finished the game you can sleep for a week well done

Lol who would put a hoover on their table XD 2:20

I think it was worth it... even if I have not played this game before.

this is a very creative idea

Well done hero!

How did I miss this upload 😭😭

Omg I remember tux paint, it was the best

neat well done

Hi Lazy Alarm How do you make that speech wave

Finally someone makes a game about spiders

When i saw this game it felt like the spiders soul was coming inside me

Yeah!! He has returned!!!

That Mario mini game threw me back in time

As a spider, I can confirm this is how we act.

I always do this for my projects, I think of something totally awesome and work for a ridiculous amount of time trying to get there.. just to realize that I aimed way too high and now I'm bored, NEXT PROJECT!!

When i saw the title i was like, well that's not really a crazy idea, then i saw your nickname and i was like OK thats funny.

Worth it.

> Was it worth doing it myself? No! But I still learned a lot. Then it was worth doing! Learning is so, so valuable. You can't download knowledge off the asset store.

you have the same PC case as me, nice

I’m imagining a sequel where it’s exactly the same but while the vacuum and spider stay the same size on screen, the background and objects increase in size and scale, where you go from food crumbs to books to cars to houses to cities to countries to planets to the entire universe and you beat the Vacuum God in a fight and it explodes. You know what I mean?

1:22 …so one of the ways to create sprites in scratch?

6:27 😂😂

Hell yeah

I fucking love that name

A vacuum? Nah... *I shoot spiders to death with a salt gun*

Omg we have the same handwriting😭 6:03

11:32 it has more bugs, like a spider for example 😀

You finished the game, so it was worth it. I guarantee you that.

finally a good spider game

It's not bad it's really really good

Yay, I like spiders! Is it on app-store?

so this is what antman feels like

TOTALY WORTH IT

*sees a spider* oh a spider, *the spider starts doing parkour* what the fu-

Reversed roles of kill it with fire
