I Went Overboard On A Game Jam Again (Devlog) 

Looks like a blast. Could be fun if your boss gave you specific tasks/missions/goals like “we are hosting a kids night” where you have to only give flyers to specific types of characters. Thanks for the great videos!

Making the game title “papers? No thanks” was a missed opportunity

The games are: Out Ran, Danky Kang, Plaque Man, and Home Invaders.

8:48 oh god oh god vimlark what have you done you put teeth on Pac-Man!

2:15 in the background I can see a little knight so I didn’t know you were into hollow knight but honestly that’s probably how you got recommended to me

your games always look so good ! also cant wait for the game jam :D

I can relate with your addiction to game jams so much right now, in the past I've worked on huge code projects but I never can find the motivation to stick with them for a long time. Lately I started doing hackathons and I've become absolutely hooked lol. We need to form some sort of rehab group

14:25 - you gave one flyer to two people :D

The art looks amazing and the gameplay actually sounds really fun. Once I'm done with my schoolwork I can't wait to start playing! Great work as always.

Core is getting the new rAId sHadOw LeGEndS

It’s always so good when I see a company supports a small creator as regularly as CORE. You’re doing really well, keep up the good work!

You're getting real comfortable with these Core ads 🤣 Keep up the good content!

Jams are great because you can put all of your energy into a project, and it always ends JUST before you start finding it tedious.

2nd vid of yours I've watched. You have such a warm personality! Easy sub

I also do the wife test!!!! She goes "aww" I know I'm going in the right direction

I really want to do a game jam, but these days I'm trying to focus on my Devlog game... I better finish by November! The town looks great!!

That's some nice art! I like the retro feel of the game :o

Your game was so much fun vim! Super cute style and love the little community elements :) Having the help screen in the beginning was a really great decision! Also huge thank you for your feedback on our game aswell it has been super helpful and was really nice to see the game being played :D Keep up the great work my friend!

Throwing fliers is a really interesting idea for a game. It looks like you nailed it, especially the art!

wow...amazing work regardless, even more amazing with the restraints and timeframe, subscribbled

This game looks super, but one thing that stood out is (at least that's how it looks) the scales of the pixels ingame compared to the pixels on the mouse cursor.

The extra work that you've put in really showed on this one! The game looks really good. Congrats

Your pixel art is truly sublime 👍

i absolutely love the player character! the design is really cute and simple, and the animations are really nice. i especially love the skates - it's such a good visual, just having this kid skate around the city throwing paper airplanes at people.

I'm mainly commenting to help boost your numbers, but I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos. Not only are they entertaining, they're somewhat inspirational and informative. Keep it up!

I love seeing your creativity turning into reality this one might be the best one yet

Great dev Log gam jams are the best, keep em coming! 😅

i loved the old arcade paperboy, this looks great!

You are such a motivation for me.. Like I can think of a few jams that I joined after watching your videos and feeling motivated and I'm in love with your art style.. Keep making amazing videos Sir!

Story of my life XD The game looks so nice! Will have to give it a try asap :D

*When he sai the sponsor I had a heart attack then he said core and I was so happy*

Ahhh the monkey statue is perfect

Came across your channel a week ago and have been binge watching your videos. Thanks for sparking back up my passion for programming and game design. Something ive left behind since i finished college and started working, oh and Construct 3! Perfect platform to re-learning the craft again

I found your channel a few days ago and I love your videos and games. It's all very inspirational. Thank you!

I am in love with this channel, you helped me get started with pixel art. I have animated 2 characters in photoshop, thank you so much Vimlark!

There should be a hardmode where you don’t know if you’ve given a person a flyer, but a screen-size map so you don’t lose track of people

Love watching this while participating in a jam

This game looks so good omg. Your every gamejam game looks so good and polished. You are pro at this. So good!

13:00. When the robots stop moving “wait that’s illegal”

Every gamejam video you release is an instant watch from me!

Very nice game and video :) 14:25 You can see that one flyer is taken by two characters who are in the same spot

Thanks, I am a game dev using construct 3 and your videos always inspire me a lot

8:45: I'm younger than any of those games and I still recognize them. (I can't tell if you picked really un-obscure examples or if I'm just a huge nerd.)

The game is extremly fun!!!! It inspired me!!!!! Very nice channel

Lets go! Another game jam by the Great Vimlark!

Good choice on the PICO-8 color palette. I'm actually participating in VimJam and using PICO-8.

Just an idea for anyone who reads this, when talking about possibly adding an indicator that points toward the closest table; A good approach might be to design an indicator that will be a desired distance away from the player in the direction of a table object (essentially preparing to make a ring of indicators) and setup 3 different indicator sizes, or possibly even icons. Then, run through the array of tables and put the 3 closest tables, in order, in to a temporary array and show those 3 (at least 2). Showing the closest one would still make the player feel obligated to stick around the only one they can see. If they can tell they are close to others, they might feel more encourage to explore that way and form a mental map.

8:43 My guesses: • Pole Position • Donkey Kong • Pac-Man • Space Invaders

Wow you did a great job with this one, I love the art!

Please come back to these! These kinds of videos inspired me! To make pixel art and it made me figure out I had some skill with pixel art! Also It made me understand even the tiniest experiences can be fun to make!

this game looks really fun

I have tried the game myself and its awesome! Great pixel art!

This looks much more fun than the actual job was ^_^.

You really outdid yourself with the art on this one:)

I was waiting for video for so long. Finally its here!

Nice vid, played them game yesterday and it was a blast. You're definitely getting a lot better at game design/coding

The game looks and sounds like fun to play

Another banger!

It looks so awesome

It looks super good love the art, love the concept

The fact some jackal on the net can figure out what multimillion dollar corps can’t is amazing you advertise not by drowning someone but giving them only a few to someone

Cool final product :D

The game poseters at 8:48 are pit stop dunky kong pac-man and space invadors

Hi Vimlark idk if you are going to see this but i played your game and when i got the "roll up flyers" boost i could throw flyers when im in a buliding to the outside. basically i can throw flyers through walls. awesome game though :D

Him: you should use core, it’s the best! Also him: proceeds to use unity.

Overboard is good. Very nice.

Bruh, those content-sponsor transitions are way too smooth

A simple fix for the not knowing about the other flyer stands could be to have the player say "I'm out... I think there are more flyer stands around the town."

For the retro game posters, the 2nd is donkey kong, 3rd is pacman, and 4th is space invaders. If you know the first one, your probably old x)

8:50 i am 16 years old but i know all of them :D

Core is really the Raid Shadow Legends of Game Development

me: watching the devlog to gain some insight into game dev also me: oh, there is a bug on 14:25 - one flyer thrown, two customers got flyer = quota rose by two. You can never stop your habits (and i am a tester by profession).

Lmao I know this is two years old but literally 4:30 into the video I am also going OH OH IDEAS and starting to go overboard xD

Really fun game and nice job. Wish it could last longer though

I love your videos keep up the good work! 👍 :)

Vimlark is the big daddyo of game jam good times. True story. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

OMG i know vault i wasent expecting to see him mentioned when clicking this video

This is sickedy

This video, though, I use GDevelop 5, helped me make the top down shooter mechanics that I needed, I was having trouble with the arm, and this video, without even saying how it’s done, helped me somehow

How is this so GOOD :O

the kid made me go ohhh

This is my first time watching, Construct 3 looks like an interesting game engine to use

The sad thing is that I got a discord notification before the youtube notification...

10:38 You mean farther? Oooohh buuuurn. love the game btw

I'm not old, but I see Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and... some driving game.

1:41 Skip Sponsor

6:28 Ze picture ist gut!

my guess is the game posters are pole position, donkey kong, pac man, and space invaders

i feel like this could be used to make a really cool game with a political vibe a-la papers please. like, youre running around giving out pamphlets for a revolution or something, you cant let the cops catch you but you need to get as many of the people aware of your cause as possible in 50 days for a general strike to be successful or something, otherwise you dont have enough protesters and get crushed by the state. you could have some fun character interactions with npc's both while doing the main gameplay loop and during a downtime section where your character gets lunch in town square before getting the bus home.

Just to make it clear when you publish your game it will stay on core Only, if you think about making it on other platform .. You cant or that what i know And another thing Your game is 10/10

Bro you're just too good at this. Also I've come to realise that my game looks like Monkeys with Guns but mine are dinosaurs and there are no guns 😂

U r a really good coder.

You should make this a full game with more stuff and fix the issues!

8:34 Here in Michigan we still have arcades with the classics in them! I've been to them! 8:50 1st one. Idk. 2nd one is definitely DK. 3rd is pacman but OH WHY DOES HE HAVE TEETH. 4th is I think space invaders? Did I get them right?

8:49 Left to right: Outrun/that one racing game Sega made I can’t remember the name of Donkey Kong PAC-MAN Space Invaders

Kinda wish a full arcade style game like that. Like paperboy for nes.

Next time update the game and select random specific people to hand the things to (or make it a gamemode). Do you remember "Around and back"? Well, make a circular spot where npcs come to (another gamemode idea) and make it so you cant move and have to had out the papers to the people that go pass you or stop next go you before they go away

You should make a speed Run mode for the game it would be so fun

No Shirt No Shoes No Service. Now Comes with a Mask!

Would be cool if inside the houses was a "restricted" area, meaning that guards will chase you out and if you get caught some kind of punishment :)
