12 games, 12 months, 1 story. Back in 2021 I was on a Journey to build my own universe of interconnected projects I already had two done and was onto the third and this one would inadvertently turn into a speedrun...
[[ About the Game ]]
On February the 26th, 2021, I entered a 3 day game development competition with the theme of “Failure is progress”. After spending two days prototyping and not getting anywhere, I scrapped what I had and attempted to make a game in 12 hours.
This video will take you on a journey through the development and world record speedrun history of the game.

[[ About Me ]]
Hello! My name is Ian. I am a hobbiest game developer who uses the game engine Defold. I have made over 30 projects ranging in scope from a few hours to many months. Often times I work with my friends since I am a very lackluster artist, musician, and speller. This channel is geared towards game development logs (Dev-Logs) where I detail my process of building games.

how can a channel with such good videos have only 330 subscribers

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

Thanks for the kind comment!

Since posting this video, the total time has been lowered to 61.56 seconds by the runner Davour! Think you can do better? Play the game for FREE here: iangogo.itch.io/death-percent

[@ShalevWen]

It's down to 61.98 now, but I'm having problems with editing the video

[@ShalevWen]

There it is, 61.96 th-cam.com/video/GO0HK69JXJw/w-d-xo.html

[@ShalevWen]

@Larry The Lobster yes

[@Davouro]

I got it to 61.56 but the improvements are getting so small.

BobMcBobenstein is a true legend... I too have been wrangled into the Backrooms by Georgia... and my friend is a genius! #GreatWorkFriend

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

Thanks for the kind comment! Georgia is a surefire way to end up in the backrooms!

[@foxandliongames]

Great job I’m the jam! Loved hearing the story of this and the game was pretty cool too!

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

Thanks! The story was really fun behind this one, recording the word record history was a lot of fun!

[@thedeveIoper]

Really like this idea 😆

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

Thanks! This was a really fun video to make!

[@michaelperrottajr]

This is hilarious and awesome. You are great at game design AND editing!!

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

Thank you so much! This is one of my favorite videos!

[@calicow]

Really fun video. Love the Summoning Salt homage.

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

Thanks! That's one of my favorite parts of this video too!

“Failure is Progress”
My brain:
platformer
no platform?
poof poof yay

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

My brain: Spikes are cool I guess, I need more of them

[@rombys]

2:35 dude this could be a whole backrooms found footage video 💀

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

Glad you enjoyed it! If I had more experience with 3D stuff I'd probably try to flesh out something more with the backrooms

[@SabeDoesThingsChannel]

Its not everyday you see a devlog where they use defold. Cool game btw

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

Yeah! It's not that common of a game engine, but I think that's what makes it fun!

[@lamamanfish9394]

I'm not amazing at this game, but I found out a trick for lvl 9 that might seriously help. I have 2.76 and less than 2.6 is very possible

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

That's super exciting! Can you make a video to explain or are you going to try to snipe the WR with it first?

[@lamamanfish9394]

@@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames I played the game on a school computer lol, can't make a video showing it off, and it's too slow for me to attempt the precise movement for the WR, but someone else could get more value from it than me

[@lamamanfish9394]

It's pretty much just double jumping to the edge of the second platform, then hight canceling to remove the drop time between landing on the other platforms and spikes at the end, but you do have to land before you start moving or you won't make the jump

[@lamamanfish9394]

It cuts out the first bounce saving a good amount of time

[@ShalevWen]

@@hellphin wait, there is a triple jump now?!

[@Ms.Cookie]

I beat the challenge

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

Congrats! I hope you enjoyed it!
