@@AdamCYounis Amazing! Thank you! I'm so excited for this opportunity. My discord is Dan_CE#9851
Hey man u inspired me to start using aseprite, trying to learn how to code now too. Your videos are really helpful, thanks 💫
I got a little coding experience now.. But that whole pixel art from Adam is just insane. I'm trying to learn it also. I wish you luck ;)
Me too!
Same as you.
Theme: Outside the box.
Think my most memorable gaming moments are from Zelda on the NDS, how it incorporated the hardware into it's puzzles.
Obviously it'll be harder to pull the same thing on PC, but Undertale, Doki doki literature club and recently Rhythm doctor all did something pretty cute.
Love to see what else could be done.
I think "friendly foes" would be a nice theme for the jam
"Hidden in plain sight" is a theme I've wanted to do for a while now.
There are so many clever ways you can use that theme mechanic, art, music, and even control wise.
Your pixel art videos really help! Thank you for being here!
Game jam theme: "Speed is key".
I think it's a great theme that can be done in many ways. For.ex. in a platformer you need to have a high speed to jump over an obstacle, in a puzzle game you can push objects with your speed and in an rpg for example you heal when you are running in a high speed.
First i would like to say thank you for all of your amazing videos, they are straight forward while remaining easy to understand. I appreciate you.
Game Jam Theme: Mind Blown
Theme: It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!
Your game must revolve around a certain item (any item of your choosing) in order to progress through the game.
Appreciate the reviews on the tablets Adam! The mid-range one definitely sounds like a steal for that price.
Game jam Theme: Not a bug, a feature
Thanks for helping me make things im proud of!
I've already seen something like that, cool idea
Might be one of those cryptomnesia things, oh well.
I really think it can be a flexible theme without being too loose. The first thing i thought of was a magaman-y structure with each level/boss representing a different common bug, with a certain boss switching models to better hide a weakspot or make certain attacks more effective as it now has those classic The Sims demon baby arm tendrils, and with them much more range, for example.
Im pretty sure someone else can think of something more creative, seeing people come up with those "ohhhhhhhh" ideas is the best part of these things
@@guilhermemoreira8694 first thing i thought of was axiom verge
Game Jam Theme: "Wait, was that it?"
Thanks for posting these videos, you've really been helping my pixel art!
What I've seen from observing jams is that you need vagueness, while also being interesting and concise enough to get the creator noggin thinking. I hope I've gotten close to the mark of what could be expected in a game jam with my answer
Game Jam Theme: Only One
This can be interpreted in many ways, like only one if a resource, or being isolated, or something meta with only one thing on screen. It can be concise and abstract so I think it makes for a good theme.
(also cause others are showing their gratitude too, thank you so much for these videos, you've helped me with so many pixel art issues I have. You have single handedly saved so much of my time)
Game Jam Theme: Evolve (or Adapt and Overcome). Adam, you are a lovely person and your videos are very enjoyable.
There's also a wireless Intuos S, it's what I use actually! Also, thanks for all the tutorials, been loving it, even if I never tried some things, watching tutorials itself is really cool somehow.
Game jam theme: Time is relative
Game Jam Theme: AROUND THE CLOCK
Game Jam Theme: More than meets the eye
I'm a beginner pixel artist and your tutorials have helped me so much! Picking up game jams and making games have become new hobbies of mine, and I always come back to your videos for inspiration :)
Theme: Animal Companions
I love your videos, and you've really helped me improve as an artist - both for pixel art and just in general! I'm (very slowly) working on making my first proper game, and knowing that you have videos on pretty much every topic I could ever encounter while doing that is so, *so* reassurring and helpful!
Game Jam Theme : Anti-Hero
Thanks for all the super awesome pixel art help! Been Silently watching for a while now.
I've quit my job to do game development full time. I'll also be joining many game jams over the next couple of months! Hope to catch yours!
This is the third video I've seen by your channel, I really like you pixel art stuff. My idea for a game jam theme would be: Slime, grime, and all things nasty!
I'm a new subscriber and I had already learned many things about pixel art, thanks a lot man!!
A good theme for the jam could be "Your enemies are your weapons"
First of all, congrats on 50k, you truly deserve it.
I don’t usually take the time to comment on other videos, but u have helped me so much in my journey, I just had to write one:)
U have been the best pixel art teacher that I could have ever asked for, and have speeded me up on my journey to become a game dev. For that, I want to thank u from the bottom of my heart. So, if u don’t deserve at least a million subs, I don’t know who does.
Also, here are my ideas for the game jam theme:-
1. You are your own enemy
2. Inconvenient superpowers
3. Parallel universes.
I think these game jam themes will give the participants a lot of room to work with.
Hope I win!
And if I do, I want to see the awesome games that people come up with.
Ps. I hope u understand what I mean to say, my English is not the best lol.
You have inspired me a lot on pixel art I almost had no hope with colors and big pixel arts until I found you I would love your more vids like this
I think there can be a good game jam theme : Insignia
Yeah i thought a lot but this theme found to me a lot new, open and innovative
Dude you are a good man to ship internationally.
I have subbed you for my satisfaction
Hey thank you man, thanks to you today i made my first 8 frame run animation, I love you! I think I will buy wacom intuous
Theme: For every rose, a thorn.
Game Jam Theme Ideas:
1) Choose a Path
2) Seasons
3) Breaking the Rules
2 Months ago since I start watching your channel and enjoying pixel art
I bought one and it arrived month ago
Now I feel so happy that I choose it
Keep going ✌️
My Theme: Begrudged Alliance.
Could include game ideas like tricking Enemy AI to do stuff for you to advance, or coop games where you must reach a common goal before betraying your teammate in some way to steal the achievement and win.
Couldn't think of a good name for it, but I like the ideas it sparks.
Theme: Murphy's Law
Even the different ways to formulate the law ("If something goes wrong, it will." "if something goes wrong, it all goes wrong." ...) gives a lot of options while challenging developers to adapt it. if the past (roughly) 17 months have thought us anything, it's that we can rely on people's stupidity to help that everything will go wrong. I also have to think of "War Game" and I believe there's some game involving the buttered toast always falling on the buttered side on somebody's mind already.... or just something way better that I cannot even imagine right now.
What everyone forgets to mention about these small tablets is simple:
Your hand keeps slipping off the edge when you use it!
Marketing calls for maximising the usable area and minimising bezel; practicality calls for a bezel of *at least* two inches around the active area so that you can actually draw or write (I use it mostly for remote whiteboard work) right up to the edge of the screen without your hand falling off and causing sudden lines in the page.
Thanks for everything Adam! You inspire me to keep moving foward and develop my game!
Game theme: The more wrong the way, the longer the game.
Wrong choices lead to a longer game.
Theme: not as it seems (using common genre tropes in a completely different genre)
Your videos are a tremendous help in my current project for uni ❤️
Ooh I'd like to see "you are your enemy" as a theme for a jam, could make for some fun game mechanics
Thanks so much for the video my guy, great insight
Congrats on 50K Adam! Thanks for making videos and streams that constantly encourage me to be a better artist!
Game Jam theme idea: Unplugged
I have a Wacom Intuos medium and overall it has been a great product for it value. also a great starter for a beginner just to get to know your way around the art world.
This couldn't have been a better timing, I've been looking for info about drawing tablets to finally get one and this looks great!
Game jam theme: you are your own worst enemy
I was always really interested in games that used a mechanic that uses your moves against you, either with a mirror image of you or in some other way. Would love to see that pushed even further, and used for different stories.
Game Jam Theme: You can top that!
Tks for the video, you always talk about what I am thinking.
Game Jam: Your the Game Master
It's like in Saw movie that youre the Game Master you set the Rules.
So the Player Can Survive
Congrats on 50K!
Theme: Just a bunch of pixels
Idk if this would be the greatest theme because it relies a bit on the honor code, but it's the theme I'd love to see, so I'll suggest it anyways!
Game jam theme: Make a game genre you don't like into something you'd want to play
Thank you for getting me into Aseprite! Your videos got me going down the game dev rabbit hole, and now I'm seriously considering doing game dev full time!
Thanks for the review, always great to get honest review from a pro.
Game Jam theme: Only straight line movement and right angle changes in direction.
I also use this exact Intuos tablet and it works great. I got it for 40€ on Amazon and it even came with 2 softwares. The table even fits in my laptop travel bag (in the pocket area). I have tried it with Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, Illustrator and Affinity Designer.
Game Jam Theme:Frisky Phantom Thief
Thank you Adam for this chance to win a giveaway!
Game Jam Theme: more than meets the eye
I've only found your channel recently, but thank goodness I have! I'm an aspiring game designer, and working through all of your videos has been incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for doing what you do!
Gamejam theme: "Exploring Dimensions" I see it as not only things like parallel dimensions or other sci-fi stuff like that, also as exploring the concepts of the spatial dimensions and time.
Also congrats on the milestone! I've been using your tutorials and practicing pixelart for a year or more by now and as someone who didn't have any art experience before I can say it was really useful!
That was an unexpected new Video, but a really nice one. These Tablets looks absolutly useful!
Game jam theme:
“Nothing is what it seems”
You could use visual and audible illusions! :3
My GameJam theme idea is: Bartering
I've always kinda liked the one-word prompts that I've seen in other Jams, it leaves a lot more of an open interpretation.
I only recently found this channel, too and have been using it almost non-stop to help me with my Pixel art and I'm definitely gonna eventually learn to make games. You've been a great inspiration and help throughout my growth as a pixel artist, even if you've only existed to me for a short time.
Game Jam Theme: Quite the Opposite
I really, really like your videos. You encouraged me to try out more high res pixel art and I freakin love it!
I am actually proud of my drawings now :)
My game jam theme is: binded souls.
Its interesting to me cause there are so many possibilities and variations to create an amazing story using this theme. I've came to your channel recently and thank you for share your knowledge and kindness to us, you are an amazing person! 😊
Game Jam Theme: Happy Little Accident
Keep up the good work mate, always feel inspired after watching your videos.
Game jam theme: Player is your Enemy!
Thanks for your tutorials, it helps me a lot in my recent project that im working on and it's getting bigger and more serious, thanks to your help!
Game Jam Theme: Letting go
Thanks for the tutorials and the introduction into Aseprite! I started watching about a week ago and I'm already 26 hours in. Love your stuff!
Game Jam theme: "Add and combine" ("Add or combine" could also work)
I've always thought that combining things or adding them together is really cool (a good thing I'm studying chemistry) and I think that there are a lot of unique ways you can handle this theme (creature fusion, science game, combining genres, who knows what else! Damn imagine a game where it "adds" a new genre every once in a while, that would be sick haha).
Last time I bought a tablet I grabbed a medium sized One by Wacom. It looks very similar to the Intuos in this video but lacks buttons and Bluetooth. The stylus looks identical and the tablet even has the same dot pattern. And yeah I prefer it over my Intuos Pro for all the reasons you listed!
Trying to make my own game, the game that I want to play and your videos are one of the main key for me to make progress for this game, inspiring and extremely useful for pixel art.. Thank you :D
Game Jam themes : You are the weapon item.
You are a weapon which can possess mob and if your mob die you try to possess other mob.
I think that: "Running the Shop" would be a cool game jam. I love games like Moonlighter and Good Pizza, Great Pizza, and think it'd be cool to see more of them!
Weird - been looking into getting a graphics tablet and the Intuos Small was what I was looking at. Thanks for the thorough review!
As for the theme idea: Cooking
Could be a cooking sim or a metaphorical RPG about a team of chefs battling ingredients to "prepare" them for a meal or something more abstract!
(With lockdown very much still being a thing in Scotland, I've become the in-house chef and gives me a lot of joy putting meals together from scratch).
Game Jam Theme:”Everything is not as it seems.” I think it’s vague enough that a lot of genres could work with it.
There's a reason that your videos often have so few dislikes. Keep up the good work!
PS: love the Zelda shirt hehe
Game Jam Theme: Lancers/Evil Minions
Thanks for helping me and many others with Aseprite!
I could never get on with regular tablets, need to watch my hand when drawing. Grabbed a Huion Kamvas and that made a huge change. Obviously a quite a bit more expensive, but much cheaper than a Cintiq.
Game Jam idea : "Skillmonger"
An idea I have in mind is the player can/possibly get an enemy attack mechanic or skill/move to solve anything in the game, while the original or latest move the player have is given to the enemy.
So it's like trading skill/move, risk vs reward.
Or whatever your interpretation of this theme is welcome.
I think a neat theme would be "keep yourself together" it was a drawing prompt for an art challenge I did a few years ago that still gives me ideas till this day.
Congrats on 50k subscribers! I really enjoyed this video and I am looking forward for more reviews. Keep up the great work :D.
Although I won't take part in the game jam, here are some theme suggestions: Parallel, Growing/Growth, Flipped, Loop, Meaningful Choice, Control (or lose control), Time is Life, Changing Dimensions.
I hope those are enough suggestions.
Game Jam Theme: The Student Becomes The Master
Love the channel, some of the most sound advice and genuinely high quality pixel work i've seen on TH-cam
Game Jam Theme: Wake up , The time has come.
Thank you for good tutorials.
Love your stuff. Keep it up.
Theme : two contrast lands
Game Jam Theme: Within the Wall
Love your content, tutorials, critiques, art and animation styles. Can't get enough, keep it up! Congrats on the subs
Since we all love pixel art here the theme should be "One detail makes all the difference"
Game Jam Theme: Decay and Rebirth
You continue to impress and inspire me. Keep doing the work that you do! Shame I'm always asleep when you stream.
Game Jam Theme: Rolling the Dice.
I had an idea for a silly game a while ago, where many/most mechanics are based around luck and RNG. With the player nudging those effects. I'm curious what other people might do with that idea.
Theme: seas, sky, and school.
thanks for making easy to understand yet helpful tutorials.
Thanks for doing this review!
My theme idea is "Believe in yourself", I'm super looking forward to the game jam!
Game Jam Theme: Your home.
From South Africa and I love you videos and am enjoying learning! Sadly tablets are hellishly expensive here I hope I can save for one in the future.
game jam idea: sympathise with the enemy
you can add enemies to your team for assistance after you crack their mind control!
thank you so much for all of the shockingly free content I've learned so much!
Game Jam Theme: It Takes Two
I feel like this is specific enough to be a main focus, but also broad enough to allow plenty of variety with the implementation.
Theme: "Out of time"
I think it would be an interesting theme to work with and could lead to some creative games, especially if you put the theme into a different context.
Game jam theme: "Forbidden path".
I think this theme would allow for many different game ideas and submissions while not being to vague to make up for a challenge.
Please keep up the great work! I love how you always find ways to explain complicated things so even someone like myself can understand them!
Thanks for sharing your skills with us!
Theme: "Too much"
Theme: Wonderful Times
Or maybe: Adventure Tales
Hi Adam! I wanted to thank you for all the love you are putting into your work. No matter if its twitch, youtube or Insignia.
One can really feel your passion and draw motivation from it! 😊
For the jam my theme ideas would be:
1) Making friends along the way
2) Time flies
Greetings from Austria :))
Theme: "Living in a Fairy Tale"
Thanks for your videos! I'm taking a Game Programming course and your channel is invaluable
Game jam theme: only 1 button
Game Jam Theme: Woodland Critter Platformer
I love seeing how people draw jumping animal animations!
Congratulations from France for your 50k ! I discovered your channel recently and I hope I will be able to catch one of your stream someday.
Anyway, here is my game jam theme : never gonna let you down !
Hello Adam. I've been studying c # / unity for 2 almost 3 years. And I always wanted my games to look prettier but I was afraid to start learning pixel art. I tried a bit a while ago but I was not satisfied with what I was doing and I always left it. Until I find you! I have been drawing every day for 1 month and I even enjoy those moments more than programming now haha. Not only do I love your drawings and style, but how you explain that it is the most important thing, at least for me that I want to learn. Greetings from Argentina. Jam Theme: death is not the end // Theme2: Things are not always what they seem
Game jam theme: Growth
Very open and fits with the 50 k milestone. Congrats! Your video content is always high quality, informative and relaxing to watch.
Also can't wait for the tilemap workflow to be released in Aseprite. :)
"Hidden in plain sight" is a theme I've wanted to do for a while now.
Even the different ways to formulate the law ("If something goes wrong, it will." "if something goes wrong, it all goes wrong." ...) gives a lot of options while challenging developers to adapt it. if the past (roughly) 17 months have thought us anything, it's that we can rely on people's stupidity to help that everything will go wrong. I also have to think of "War Game" and I believe there's some game involving the buttered toast always falling on the buttered side on somebody's mind already.... or just something way better that I cannot even imagine right now.
So cool! Ive been planning to join my first game jam this summer, now I now which one! Theme suggestion: one more smile
A mystery - action and real life pov is a success
Congratulations on 50k subs! You Inspired me to try pixel art and introduced me to Aseprite, so you totally deserve all these subs and more!
The Wacom Intuos Small is quite good. I bought it in March as my first drawpad :D
Game Jam theme: 1 level/1 room
Thanks for creating this channel, because it is one of the reason that sparked my desire again to get into game development with Pixel Art.
Game jam theme: Nobility
Best of luck and I hope you get to 100k soon !
Game Jam Theme: Consequences
Looking forward to the jam! Can't wait to see what theme ideas everyone comes up with.
Theme: Size doesn't matter
Also you're very inspiring to me and to many people! Keep up your work!!!!!!!!!
