the final devs really did the game justice! tho' why wasn't there a segment where the devs play the game and react to it???

@Blackthornprod 10 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, we ran out of time and really wanted to stick to our upload plan. Reactions will be back in future videos!

@BobLobster-fo9zw 10 ай бұрын

The most likely answer is that they probably didn't want the video to exceed 20min (as shorter videos usually do better). Too bad really.

I enjoyed this one it just felt a bit rushed, I would love to see a long form version. Also it a bit jarring when the developers only had 3 seconds to promote themselves and were then cut off, didn't seem very fair considering these videos only exist because of their collaborations.

@FriedMonkey362 10 ай бұрын

This is why i hate KZfaq shorts tiktok and other short form content Other people dont have the attention span to watch longer videos, this causes the retention to go down, making KZfaqrs post shorter and shorter content because other people click off This video had 11 devs it could've been 25-28 minutes long

@sanguinepub 10 ай бұрын

@@FriedMonkey362 Yeah, unfortunately, it's said that it's best to keep videos under 20m these days. People need to learn how to retain attention. I've literally made posts that were the size of a paragraph and young teens/adults usually complain that it's too many words. That anything needs to be expressed in only a few sentences. Then when I make fun of them, with another long post, they send this image of a person freaking out with a bunch of words on the screen saying "it's too much." I really find it sad as a writer. xD

I love this concept, it's really cool, and you're doing a great job tweaking it to add some variety to it. I would like to suggest another way to tweak it: Wouldn't it be interesting to invite people a bit more specialized in some part of the process of making a game? Perhaps you could start with a game artist who would make mostly sprites or animations and pass the game to a dev who would make mostly the core gameplay mechanic before a level designer would polish the gameplay loop. I don't know, just thought about the idea, it might be tough to actually implement or might not be that fun since it would feel less chaotic, but it could lead to more dramatic decision-making since reworking someone else's work would be a real risk (most likely, a level designer is slowing at making art than a game artist).

This game seems awesome but I'm honestly pretty disappointed by how rushed the video was. It could have easily been another 10-20 minutes longer and would have been a much better experience. It almost seems disrespectful to the hard work of all the devs when you rush out a video just to stick to an upload schedule. Also as others have said, not seeing the devs reaction at the end kind of defeats the whole point of the video. I really hope that future videos are less rushed. EDIT: VAV is goated

Both teams receive the same vague prompt describing a game and then compete to “win” By designing a better game that fits the prompt.

Also, maybe make a part 2 of some challenges and make the same devs, or others, go again. For e.x, after the 11th developer, it could restart so the first developer takes over and goes for another round. And you could make that to a part 2. Then you could also release the games for download for the patreons or something like that? God bless and take care

After playing it, it felt interesting, and like it definitely still has potential, however I felt like while everyone understood the assignment from the previous dev, some of them didn't fully commit to the idea, which makes for a somewhat lacking gameplay loop. Don't get me wrong, it's fun for 10 minutes, which is about the length of the full game. But the combat boils down to mainly kiting the AI into missing their basic attack so you can land yours, and then using your special when it's charged. None of the devs really fixed the issue of guiding the player properly, as I took a second to find the Sun trainer. Overall, it was a dice roll, but it's not exactly a highlight of the pass the project games, if there were room for maybe one or two more devs, I think something special could've come of it though, too many early on were trying to polish or stylize rather than focusing on gameplay. Still nice to watch though.
