Hey man! Love both videos, but you seemed a little hard on yourself during this Dev Log. We all make compromises and mistakes during jams, it's just a matter of whoever makes the least visible ones + an interesting idea. Even if you aren't as big as some of the other indie dev youtubers, I think you've got charisma and voice talent that far surpasses those who are in the same bracket. Keep at it man.
Thanks, I use these devlogs as postmortems as well (the one in Miziziziz's vid was only 2 min so not time to dwell). So I analyze what I think I did right and wrong to improve for the future. I learn more from my failures so I may focus a bit to much on them but I like to see where I can do better. Sorry if I came off as too negative. :) And thank you for the kind words
Vimlark: I need a title for my game about rats Friend: Sorry didn't hear you, about what? Vimlark: Rats Friend: Oh rats... ummm... Vimlark: Great I'll use that, thanks. Friend: Wait what no
Yeah, you showed off your skateboarding game a little while after I gave up on this one and it is so much better than what I was making. I'm happy a good 2D-ish skateboard game is being made. :)
Really good video ive been waiting so long for this video especially since the first stream i ever saw was the third skateboard game stream and it turned out amazing so it was worth the wait
Hi! Love what you do! I am really inspired by you to make my own game dev youtube channel! Thanks to you I realised that there are engines without coding and now I can make my own games! thanks for everything
I love that your wife was the one who came up with the top-down platformer concept. It's one of those ideas that nobody too immersed into game dev would think of because "that's just not how things are done", but it's exactly that type of outside-the-box thinking that makes really unique games.
This game is very similar to the brilliant game called UNSIGHTED, it's also basically a top down platformer, it's a lot more polished of course but still very similar
This is aweome! Do you have any tips for level design? I feel like your video style would make for a great tutorial on it... and I could also use the tips lol
Actually, I had similar idea to build a top down platformer using sprite stacking to make it look 3D and it looked pretty good. It was, unfortunately, too stressful to make an entire game using fake 3D so I ended up leaving it behind.
As a Construct user, I have a tip, I guess... with pixel art styles, it may be better to use grow rate instead of opacity to make particles disappear. With opacity, it may look kinda smooshy but with grow rate it looks like... yeah
Vimlark, what exactly prevented you from adding the skate on the second game? It would be awesome!!! The plataforms on the second idea could perfectly work as intended... if you think about it, in the final game it actually looks like hes skating on a invisible board =P
I guess I could have. Honestly I just lost interest in the skateboard idea. I love the Tony Hawk games but I realized I didn't really want to make a skateboarding game myself.
I've noticed you're putting a red border around the thumbnail. It looks very similar to how it looks on mobile when the video is already watched. I've almost missed a few of your videos that way. I suggest you change the design of your thumbnails!
If you need some insperation for top down platforming the Mario and luigi Rpgs do it pretty well by giving you some movement tools that help progression and break up the combat so neither gameply style feels like they're getting to boring.
You’ve already talked to me before about why you aren’t making MWG right now, but is the game actually broken? Us players would really love v. 6.0/7.0 on Itch, if it isn’t completely broken. Who’s with me here?
Nice it seems fun I'm downloading rn Edit: ok it was really fun but a little tricky but in the end a Great game keep going and making YT videos and games I'm a big fan and have been watching all the dev logs + game jam games you've made! You gave me the courage to start game development my self! Thank you I really love game development and it has been my dream to be a indie Dev since I was a young thank you again😁
"we were both really surprised when I just chose the title oh rats"
ah yes, not understanding your own actions, true chaos.
I can't be held accountable for what goes in the game in the final hours ;P
Love this game jam style!

This is a very well worded comment. I wholeheartedly agree.

Vimlark: I need a title for my game about rats
Friend: Sorry didn't hear you, about what?
Vimlark: Rats
Friend: Oh rats... ummm...
Vimlark: Great I'll use that, thanks.
Friend: Wait what no
True lmao
Always a blast watching these. Keep up the great work!
Great video as usual! Congratulations on 20k, Can’t wait for when you hit 100k!
Congrats man 👌 i enjoy watching the misisisis channel and its awesome to see you tried out for the challenge
Cool stash man. And this is awesome, it's really cool to see you jam with this group, I hope there will be more!
Great to see the skateboarding game you were talking about!
And Oh Rats, love how that turned out.
Gingers name for the win.
Yeah, you showed off your skateboarding game a little while after I gave up on this one and it is so much better than what I was making. I'm happy a good 2D-ish skateboard game is being made. :)
Really good video ive been waiting so long for this video especially since the first stream i ever saw was the third skateboard game stream and it turned out amazing so it was worth the wait
Thanks for still hanging out!
your amazing! happy 20k subs! ive been subscribed to you since you were at 1700 subs!
I’m new and I love your videos! I am learning to code and I really like watching other people do it!
That's how I got into it. Good luck!
Dang, I never noticed you only have 20k subscribers.. I always just kind of assumed you were in the low millions
Loved this! keep up the good work!
What a cool idea! A topdown platformer, that is something I cant think of any off the top of my head! So great work :D
Found your channel from that jam. Great content!
Love your content. Really thought u got a ton more subs. Hope u get a ton more soon. :)
i just watched the hosts video about it earlier today
i like your game but the snake game was the most unique
It was a good one.
Honestly no cap your my favorite youtuber
This video was super fun to watch! Don't know what pops out bout this one but I really enjoyed it!
Did you guys play each other’s games recently or back when you made them?
We played them closer to when we finished them.
Hi!
Love what you do!
I am really inspired by you to make my own game dev youtube channel!
Thanks to you I realised that there are engines without coding and now I can make my own games!
thanks for everything
Best of luck!
Thanks! :D
I love that your wife was the one who came up with the top-down platformer concept. It's one of those ideas that nobody too immersed into game dev would think of because "that's just not how things are done", but it's exactly that type of outside-the-box thinking that makes really unique games.
looking back it's cool how you were "nervous" to go up on a bigger channel but you are now as big as miziziziz channel was good shit
Haven't done one of these types of jams yet. Sounds like a fun challenge
Second time i saw your game, amazing!
Dude that jump was a really good idea you and your wife made a good team on that idea.
This is such a sick idea!
gotta love these
Awesome vid!
"it was gonna be on a channel much larger than mine" well that aged like a fine wine, my mans 20k ahead of that now
Haven't joined a game jam yet, but I'd love to join one where everyone uses the same assets! Sounds like a fun time
I think it could be cool to let 4 developers make a art kit and you all have to use them all in a game
Interesting idea
Hello I love your videos and I was wondering what do you use to design the levels
Good job man, but I lost it at the end of level 5...
Yeah difficulty is not really balanced.
This game is very similar to the brilliant game called UNSIGHTED, it's also basically a top down platformer, it's a lot more polished of course but still very similar
Oh yeah!
The end killed me!
The man uploads so much
I've once also made a top down platformer on scratch
Do a kickflip~~ Awesome idea for sure!!
Congrats on 20 K
This is aweome! Do you have any tips for level design? I feel like your video style would make for a great tutorial on it... and I could also use the tips lol

7:57 He sounded exactly like the hamster muffin guy

I would really love if you also included the art file. Because i want to do the challenge myself
The wobble walking is looking kinda sexy I'm not gonna lie
omg it's the real vimlark
does kenney have a youtube channel? I love the art so much
3:35 ladylark is always right and has the best ideas
What do you use to make your maps?
I was using the built in tilemap editor in Construct 3.
Vimlark thanks for the answer.
Vimlark, what exactly prevented you from adding the skate on the second game? It would be awesome!!! The plataforms on the second idea could perfectly work as intended... if you think about it, in the final game it actually looks like hes skating on a invisible board =P
Maybe he didnt think about it
I guess I could have. Honestly I just lost interest in the skateboard idea. I love the Tony Hawk games but I realized I didn't really want to make a skateboarding game myself.
I'm trying to make a "wobble and Bob" animation in my game (construct) and I can't make it can someone help me?
what program do you use for making the games?
Great video Vimlark, how did you divide your itch.io games into sections?
Thanks in advance
You hide all the games from the page in Edit Theme. The add them to different collections and show the collections. Hope that helps :)
@@Vimlark Thanks :)
it all started whit a table....
Rats, we're rats, we're the rats.
I've noticed you're putting a red border around the thumbnail. It looks very similar to how it looks on mobile when the video is already watched. I've almost missed a few of your videos that way. I suggest you change the design of your thumbnails!
*I didn't see him write any code, what programming language did he write this in?*
Cool vid
What language do you code?
why do you use construct? im serious its so limited
Wouldn't it be cool to have a top down skateboarding plat former.
Your channel is a great representation of you don’t need to code to create an awesome video game. Know this is kinda cringe to say but whatevs
Your wife rules! That was a great idea!
I thought that video was an old video .. wow I need to be more attention
If you need some insperation for top down platforming the Mario and luigi Rpgs do it pretty well by giving you some movement tools that help progression and break up the combat so neither gameply style feels like they're getting to boring.
20 k subs!!!
I know right!?!?!?!
Vimlark do be sounding like a child seeing their favourite streamer read their comment
4 devs 1 -cup- tile set
Jesus, why cant Miziziziz just say you have 9 days
Would be great for me, I suck at art^^
You could've made a top-down platformer with skateboarding gameplay maybe? Eh the game was still good. :)
miziziziz
You’ve already talked to me before about why you aren’t making MWG right now, but is the game actually broken? Us players would really love v. 6.0/7.0 on Itch, if it isn’t completely broken. Who’s with me here?
