I'm WickedWiz from the What Went Wrong series coming at you with some of the most cursed indie games on Steam. This new series is for games that are so bad, that they're actually good. Worst Game On Steam, is a question that hopefully turns out to be false each time. These are games that won't fit the longer form What Went Wrong videos. - Ігри
I didn’t know I created a game, strange. Thanks for reviewing though Wiz :)
Yo that’s what I said
You're welcome. I'll send the invoice later

@@wicked_wizard Does it come with stinky laundry?
Ah, are you proficient in the game of joust with the 6" lance?
That Metroid Prime inspired game actually looks pretty solid, all things considered. Like if it was a student project, they'd deserve an A. Functional gameplay, nothing game breaking, good bit of setting flavor and humor.
The models are simple and funny but I respect they made all their own assets.
Honestly the enemy models are pretty neat too, I love bean-bug!!
I really hope the dev sees this video and continues to make games and improve! I'd love to see where they're at a few games down the line given how promising this title was
Can i call you "sexy ham" from now on?
It would really mean a lot to me...
I think it was mentioned that it's a solo dev. For a solo dev, that is actually quite impressive.
I swear Steam would let you sell an image made in Paint that flickered occasionally.
Steam shouldn't allow to sell anything that's made by underaged individuals.
I'd bet you money you couldn't make something better :)
Someone did make a Watching Paint Dry Simulator game, unsurprisingly it got onto the storefront without issue.
@@manashieldmedia what
That argument is a common fallacy/mistake. Replace "making a game" with "heart surgery" and you'll see why :)
I'm actually hugely impressed by the last one. That game very obviously took a ton of effort to make - fully unique models and animations by someone who obviously doesn't have much experience with it. As someone who doesn't know how to animate and has tried (and failed) to make animations, how far this guy got is crazy. Same thing with the models - when you don't know how to model something, making something look like that is very difficult. That game looked like a game made out of passion, and I'm always happy to see something like that.
Yeah 3D animation and modeling are definitely not easy, the effort is commendable
Thanks for telling me about these bugs, the community seems happy! To make you happier, SEX update is coming next!!!
Absolute memelord😂
And after comes vr multiplayer sex game?
Aha Cult memes
Yes!!
(sees The Future Project)
(does the DiCaprio pointing meme) That's my son!
But seriously, thanks for checking out the game! Glad you had fun. :)
oh hey, you're the actual dev. vids on your channel about it going back at least two years
good job on getting something published. ive occasionally had dreams of doing my own Prime-inspired game, but don't have the time to devote to it. cool to stumble across someone who did
Good shit, man
@DavidJCobb Thank you! It was definitely challenging and time consuming, and I don't know that I'll ever do such a big project by myself again, lol. But I'm glad to have made it, warts and all.
I really liked your 'apex devourer' model. It reminded me vaguely of the ender dragon :) it looks like a decently fun game anyway, if I were more into shooter games I might play it just to see all the models lol
@@snakewithapen5489 That was a fun model to make. In general, if it had glowy bits anywhere, I liked putting it together.
ok, wow, the dev from this last game of the video seems VERY passionate on what they do, they even have 3 games launched and all of them seem good and like they had passion and effort put into their creation, it's awesome
As absolutely wildly unfinished as that first game is. I find that camera where you look at yourself when turning around hilarious and i now want to make a game like that
Selfie inventory is a great idea for a comedic game. Shame about the rest of that game, though.
“game”
The Future Project seems like a fun passion project, and looking at the devs other games you can see definite improvement.
I fund it really charming.
I think I will pick it up at some point, mainly to support this dev in his journey. Thanks for also giving games like these some attention.
The first game (King of Swords) is really cool for having a second person view. Very transformative
😂
The game with a tentacle day joke was literally the best example of a good portfolio for a game developer. It was decent, but after that joke I realized that the script was also brilliant. Gl to the dev.
Gods the enemies and animations in The Future Project were incredible and adorable! Like its an absolute breath of fresh air to see the start of a dev's game development journey and their first attempt at modeling things. There is clear passion in this game and I may just go check it out myself ^-^
I think it's nice to mention the things devs did right. Especially since it could just be a person doing it for fun and maybe they want genuine feedback to make themselves better.
Yep. Love wiz for that.
Pointing out problems with something is just as genuine, if not more so, than pointing out the positives. The way to make things better is not to pretend like the negatives don't exist, but to be entirely open and honest about them and working on them directly and concretely.
if i ever release a game i can only hope people like wiz see it first
@@TheBcoolGuy We very clearly understand and accept Wiz pointing out the negatives but to say doing so is MORE genuine especially on UA-cam where there is a market for exclusively dragging games through the mud with no actual critique or criticism. Much less constructive.
that last game was very charming :) you can tell a lot of effort went into it! and the silly 3d models were pretty cute!
The Future Project looks pretty great. Simple but to the point, I like it.
Good to see a game that actually had effort put into it. Also, love this format. Always look forward to review videos!
That last one was just downright charming
That Metroid game whoever made it has alot of potential and they put some serious effort into it.
I didn’t know my game needed a lot of updates, thank you for clarifying this.
King of Swords look like an Alien trying to make a Warband mod, it doesn't even look that unhinged compared to some actual Warband mods.
That last game looks kind of amazing for a beginner's first project, I hope that person goes on to make more games and get recognized for their talent!
FUTURE GAME DEVS: Learn Unity, THEN Unreal, that way you get used to coding by hand and you get to understand how the code itself works. Make a few games in Unity, then switch to Unreal once you feel comfortable in Unity and it will become a lot easier. Also, NEVER use the default mannequins in your fully released game. Don't flip base games like Lyra, try to build up your multiplayer and whatnot from scratch. However, I do recommend using the prebuilt first-person/third-person set up and working your way up. Lyra and similar things are meant to TEACH, it is NOT meant to be a crutch. Real gamedev takes time, and you should understand that a good quality game is going to take a long time.
@@d_mb That's true but right now Unity is safe for now, they rolled back most of their new policies and fired the CEO. And Unreal is pretty easy to use for solo devs. I made a game in one week with a couple of friends in Unreal, and have been able to do a lot of decent work in Unreal Engine.
I really dig this format style of reviews! I really like how you're just judging if the creator put in effort by looking over various things, especially recognizing something simple like the controller vs keyboard prompt changing. It's a really nice way to encourage less experienced developers and make players appreciate simple design mechanics they might have never thought twice about.
You're a hero for actually putting up with these garbage bin find games and actually taking them seriously and giving actual advice to the makers
king of swords looks to be a mix of 3 main assets, AI behavioral Toolkit, narrative plugin, and survival game kit V1 or V2. Obviously with the right amount of work, any assets can make for an awesome game, but geez
Wow. I am honestly very impressed by The Future Project, that genuinely seemed like a game the dev(s) cared about, even if combat was bland, there was a lot of thought put into things with proper variety it seems.
Is the wickedwiz channel abandoned?
I hate to tell you that those "tutorial" maps from the first two games are more likely to be the demo maps that come with the purchased asset. Cos that's usually how they look to show off the features to the customer.
Funny thing is if the actual devs posted in this comment section noone would believe its them
Watching this from mobile, while washing dishes. Dont worry, I wiped all the dishes dry :)
It's always nice to find a hidden labor of love. It's crazy how much just a little bit of love can add to a game.
I could swear I've seen this video before. Idk if the previous bad games had such closely related problems to this one but the feeling of deja vu is REAL.
This video made me look up The Future Project to follow it and wishlist it. I know it's cheap, but it gives me something to look forward to, as I'm a sucker for Metroid games. Good job as always, Wiz.
Speaking of giving engagement to help creators get noticed, hi Wiz
So. I am not involved here. But what happened to WickedWiz what went wrong!
Since you talked about how your viewers watch your content. I love your content when im chilling or about to sleep. Your voice is just super comforting, the editing style doesnt trigger my adhd but is still entertaining and the different games make it super interesting when wide awake, and relaxing and sleepy when wanting to go to bed. Love your Content Wiz.
Great video! Loved the new format style!
Man I was worried for him when he stopped uploading on his other channel lol I loved his Essey vids I hop he didn’t stop permanently
I may be totally biased here but seeing as how Metroid Prime is one of my favorite games ever I totally see the inspiration in the enemy designs in the last game. A bit more polish and they would really have something amazing imo
Oh here you are, why did you stop uploading on the main channel and didnt say anything about it?
Wiz talked about that in the Cube World stream, he struggles with perfectionism when it comes to making What Went Wrong videos.
This was a great video and I for one enjoy the new format.
nice work on the new editing style and techniques!
if the future project dev put more work into the graphics/animations, even just simple stylized it would actually be quite decent.
Honestly, I think the Future Project DOES have stylised graphics. I've played it - actually before Wiz did, interestingly enough - and not only is it taking place inside a simulation as Wiz said, it's made clear its in-universe creators weren't particularly concerned with how it looked (since it presumably wouldn't affect the AI's performance).
I think the art style is supposed to reflect this, and it looking THAT silly is a design choice.
Thanks for the review, I'll be sure to start creating the game soon
really like the new format
This was great looking forward to future videos like this
The future project is amazing. I like seeing a bit of jank embraced. Like the way the dragon took off or the alien death animation. I am there for it. As long as you got a bit of story and some semi competent controls. I don't care what things look like. I will play
The future project seems pretty legit for a home brew.
So many of these games are just a mash of different asset packs all shoved and stitched together into an abomination
This new video format is cool and constructive. I love it.
this is epic do this format more
Video felt like an early Christmas present, thanks
Cant wait to see more !
I appreciate the review of the last game.
I'm in their positon where i'm learning to make games and i do put passion and love into my game. Soo it felt like you were talking to me directly.
Encouragement and understanding is beautiful.
Good luck on your journey!! 😊
@@puzza0 thank you 😃
I love how your content is great entertainment/nightmare fuel...
Its a Great Day when Wicked Wizard Uploads!
I love this it's awesome and I think you're great at being a fair reviewer!
I do sometimes do weird stuff in my sleep, didnt realize i made a game. Thanks for reviewing it
I feel you on that Sinic Heroes bit. My dad bought a Dreamcast and we had no VMU. Left the console in for a couple days trying to beat the game.
Ya know, I really tried to emulate those great Dark Souls maps in UFO Ranch. I hope you enjoyed it!!
I’ve never seen third person first person perspective before where you stare at your own face…
I think everything with the game is going good so far no complaints I'm glad everybody likes it.
I really like the whole "review unreviewed games" thing!
I like this format.
Is this a new series on the channel? Would be pretty awesome!
I thought the wizard hat was a blue bird at first 😲😅
The Future Project one is actually pretty cool, if this dev just takes some time to polish and refine their skills, definitely needs some better (or any) sound design, they might be able to make something pretty cool in a few years
Definitely the best game you’ve reviewed by far
Hey, even if these games are buggy and even unfinished, at least they aren't The Day Before
I really love the creatures in the last game.
The Future Project looks like it was inspired by some Metroid 3D games like Prime. it's cool to see someome make a passion project that turned out solid dispite maybe it's graphical downsides. then again graphics imo are second if you can make a solid base game product.
Watched after wiping thanks mate!
I was just thinking yesterday where did you went? Lmao perfect timing
The first game, those are literally the default unreal engine 5 mannequins for testing XD with the glowing blue unreal logo in the middle. And I can tell he just changed one material on your character, to a rusty metal. Thats it lol.
If anyone ever asks why steam needs to implement some kind of quality controll just point vaguely in the direction of that first game
Steam doesn't need quality control, it has something better: refunds. This lets the player decide what games they do and don't enjoy, instead of some random Valve employees.
Thanks for the video, this was neat! I'm glad you included the last game, I'd be really happy with your review if i was the person who made it.
I've had The Future Project on my wishlist for a while it seems.
I don't remember launching a game. But it seems like something I would forget.
Man welcome back we thought you were ded or something man. Good to hear you!
A common bit of advice often given to newcomer devs is to make a bunch of small scale games and release them and FussyCraft seems like a case of that gone wrong.
Yes, I am indeed liking the new format.
12:58 Ah! Thanks for the reminder!
the future project shows the dev had heart and wanted to make a fun game c:
Resident Evil made the "take a long hike to get A then go back to use it on B" actually good by letting you open a locked shortcut when you get there to easily return to a previous area.
The first dev kinda reminds me of my friend because he also would create random games just to barely finish them and later forget about them
Been craving more! And this style of review is so much more digestible! Thank youu
King of Swords and Zombie Land can't even really be called asset flips, they're more like asset dumps. The game-dev equivalent of trying to sell the contents of a notepad you've randomly doodled onto as artwork.
Hey, thank you for reviewing my game!
I must have been totally hammered when I made it and published it, because I have no memory of it.
"just running from one random waypoint to another" Oh so it's bethesda game!
Being able to take a shit midbattle reminds me of ARK so much
I love that enemies barely have combat animations and the terrain is clipping through itself but someone took the time and energy to code in poop mechanics. That sure is a use of time and energy.
When you said "remember to wipe" I was literally on toilet lol
another great video thank you wiz
IM IMPRESSED BY UR PATIENCE... THX FUR SHOWING ME THESE NIGHTMARES
GREAT JOB!!
love this video, it was super entertaining, thank you ❤! I'm relatively new to your channel but I've noticed that you usually comment about games in a slightly deeper level than most gamers. could it be that you have some game dev experience yourself?
I absolutely love the idea of reviewing no review games!
Damn--Together in Battle is really different from how I remember it
love your videos wicked wizard
"I honestly thought it was just a bean"
We've all been there, am I right? 🤣🤣
What happend to the Wicked Wiz channel?
12:25 “Old jeep” says land rover on the front. Probably not intentional but that’s pretty funny
Calling that unlicensed model of a Land Rover Defender a Jeep was the real crime here.
17:33 That isn't a Jeep, it's definitely a Land Rover.
