Lol! Yep! Some games that come to mind when you mentioned this is Biomutant. Not enough enemies and bugs. 😂 There are plenty of others that comes to mind for having bugs though.
but the ability to browse other people's games is there. it's mygarage.games that's the website that's going to list most of the best stuff, all categorized, and everything. You just have to find what you want and type in the code. Maybe there will be other sites as well, but that sounds like the central location to find great new games to play and share what you've made. There's also the Game Builder Garage subreddit, and you can be sure that if something is awesome people are going to share the game codes there.
@AestheticV9 this is true, but fans will supplement with web tools there were a few Animal Crossing "matchmaking" tools that popped up pretty quickly after launch
@AestheticV9 Don't worry bro, there's a new website to share GBG games. MyGarage.games is one of them and it's already open so it will be easier to play games.
@AestheticV9 There is already a commutity project for a sharing: mygarage.games, there is nothing on it yet, but as I know it is supposed to go live when the game comes out. Worth checking out.
Multi-level games? Ok this game is limitless, aside from a 3D model creator. You're right, it's a bit baffling you can't make your own abstract simple models (we need different shapes, not 10k triangles models), that's a shame.
I bought this for my 9 year old as a summer “educational “ project. My 6 year old year old is the one whose taken to it the most. The tutorials were good for him, and he learned the steps. He finished his first programmed from scratch game today. It’s pretty similar to the tag tutorial game, except he made the characters shoot balls at each other, and the end goal is grabbing a treasure chest. He built it in about 3 hours after only doing 2 of the tutorials. I think for kids it’s going to be a fun game. For $20 it’s already been worth it.
If they put in just triangles, allowed you to adjust the length of the edges, and allowed you to connect the edges, you could get every shape. (Even spheres, since they are just a lot of triangles until they look round in games and not truly round.)
"It'll teach you how to make games" *has made some games in the past in GameMaker, WarioWare DIY, SmileBasic, etc.* Still sounds fun to get anyways. I was thinking of getting FUZE too.
I really hope Game Builder Garage has updates that focus on textures and object creation. Do this and allow what would become the creation of sprites, and it would be an instant buy from me. Right now I'm not so sure.
i dont know if the level select makes games be big, we need to know if we can carry over information between levels, otherwise its worthless for progression over a full game
This is only for ESRB, other regions don't include it. Usually when ESRB has the in game purchases text but other regions don't it is to do with needing a Switch Online subscription to use online features.
11:11 In programming, the “level” (low to high) refers to how close you are to what the machine understands (binary). “Low” is languages like C or C++ or even assembly language; Game Builder is right at the other end of that spectrum, and about as high-level as you can get.
Nintendo is so protective of its image, so it could be that if you could make anything out of assets, they'd fear that people would just make copyright infringed material, like in Dreams, which wouldn't make them look good?
@@Str0b0 I know about how Nintendo is very protective, but games like this or especially LBP and Dreams is supposed to give anyone the freedom to express themselves with no restrictions about telling them what's and what's not to do, I mean when someone is making a game like these they should be aware that not everyone is going to build stuff referring to the system they're playing on, there's Nintendo fans who's playing dreams went creating Nintendo related stuff on the ps4/ps5 and there will be people that are a Playstation fans that will gonna play this to create Sony exclusive games references on the switch.
0:32 If you pause on this moment exactly, you can see why I really don't like node-based visual programming. What a mess. Scratch/Stencyl-like blocks are much cleaner and readable.
It certainly is a mess here, but most people will end up sorting everything. Programs like Unreal engine and the Substance texture programs use nodes to create animations and textures, but you can change the shape of the lines connecting the nodes and even create a box around a specific group of nodes that do certain things, like you can make a box that contains the controls, or one that has all the building block parts of the setup. They don't need to look like this cluttered mess here. Hopefully you can clean these things up a bit and Nintendo are aware of this, otherwise making games in this is going to be a bit messy.
@@andrewcosmicanimations8709 The mere ability to create a mess is a turn off for me. We moved past Visual BASIC (and, indeed, BASIC in general) for a REASON.
@@UltimatePerfection Fair reason, but just about any game creation software can become a mess if not properly maintained. From 3d kits like Maya and Motion Builder, texture software like the 3D Substance line up, to art creation software like Photoshop. Anything CAN and WILL get messy if you don't take the time to organize yourself. Some programs just make it easier than others.
I think of this game as a way to make and polish prototypes and learn the concepts of programming more then making fully fledged gaming experiencing. If taken for what it is, will be a game where hundreds of hours will simply fly by.
ah, reminds me of the old Little Big Planet days. hopefully this will be close to "blueprint" from the unreal engine so the younger generation can be brought up to speed on program and design. definitely helped me understand functions and AND, OR, and XOR setups
I have and love dreams, but this doesn't feel like much of an improvement over dreams, which is more complex from what I'm seeing. Its aimed towards the littler guys, so that's perfectly fine.
About it being "low level" - ummm... It really isn't. At least you've got what is essentially a game engine. It's simpler (higher level) than a professional game engine like Unity. Image writing the game engine itself - or the operating system and drivers that even the game engine is built on top of.
This seems to be designed to be mainly a game programming learning tool, so having way too many features like a model editor would create too much extra noise and overcomplicate things.
I was really hoping to be able to make models and detailed worlds, so now Im sadly dissapointed with what Ive heard about this game. I'll just have to wait and see if people can work around the limitations before I consider buying this game

I think this game lives or dies based on whether you can share your creations or not. The fact that there is no primary central way to do so is just too big of a deal. It's hard to see why you would want to jump into something like this over established learning tools like scratch (which does have an easy way to share AND its free). Hopefully the community will come together and create a cool website to post your stuff on or something.
but is something like a metroidvania, with unlocks that help you progress in other areas, or an RPG with gradually increasing stats even possible with the way games link? I'd assume they just take you from one game to another without carrying over any data, but I'd love to be wrong.
A metroidvania could be possible, but I don’t think it’ll be possible for an RPG, as far as I know there isn’t a way to have stats increase and have them transfer to the next part.
A 3D editor view, the ability to attack objects however you want rather than predetermined connection points, and screen space UI would make this perfect
Gonna make an early port of Friday Night Funkin to the Switch. I have experience on making mods for 5 months now so I think I can handle it. I am gonna use the game's source code as the basis of the code used in GBG. Notes: First and foremost I am gonna try to make the game as age appropriate as possible in order to meet Nintendo's standards of Code and Conduct in order for the game to up online with no worries. Changes include guns being replaced, swear words being removed/replaced, violence being toned down etc. While you can't record your own music in game builder garage you can make your own music in someway. If by any chance link me samples of the games note composition so I can create the music beat by beat perfectly. The music may not be 100% identical to the original game, but it will be an effort.
I remember spending hoooours upon hours building Doom wads in the late 90s. It was so simple and my brain was capable of wrapping around it, but if I were a younger man I'd love this.
having played Dreams on ps4, this one seems to be a bit disappointing, tbh. i was expecting it to be way more complex than this in terms of creative freedom. you can't really create anything you want from scratch. it still looks solid but i was expecting more.
@@danielj8085 yeah but that's beacause you don't need much code compared to other games the presentation on garage is really simple and nice but it gets too cluttered with heaps of Shit on screen

@@movieswowyayhoray3822 Not really, this engine is very weak and the programming that can be done isn't complex. Roblox is more complex and that's free.
@@movieswowyayhoray3822 Many other games can manage to teach children how to be game developers, like Minecraft, Roblox, or even Fortnite, for example. Unreal engine is very complex for a child to understand since it involves coding in C++, which is also a pretty complex language to learn. I'm just saying that teaching a child how to code is pretty simple and can be done with little to no cost, and Game Builder Garage seems to just complicate things (as Alex said, there should be more tutorials).
@@samuelcamargo6937 umm... Unreal Engine is actually free. Same with Unity currently. They only start charging you once you sell a game and it reaches a certain point of sales and money earned. They are some of the number one go to engines for indie games for a reason. I say this because I have downloaded both of them for free
I wish it had a simple model creator. Maybe they could have done it using voxels. However, I understand that it doesn’t have a UI for downloading levels. Moderating that would be terrible.
As a game dev I love this. I'm trying to teach my son programming. This game is great for what it is u you want to do more go to unreal engine other wise no one should complain about it it's great for what it has and there probably gonna just update it as time go by. Great video
I feel like what this game needs is a way for people to play these games. I really doubt people are gonna buy this game to play other people's creations and a game about game development isn't going to appeal to most people. I think a way to play other peoples creations without buying the game would probably increase its popularity and encourage more people to upload games or maybe see what is possible in the full game and become intrigued. Of course this is Nintendo we're talking about and they don't even have a way to browse people's creations implemented in the actual game
Really wish you could use something like the Wii U gamepad for the coding and stuff so you don’t have to keep docking and undocking your switch everytime
As an aspiring dev who just hasn't been able to fully wrap my head around most of the logic behind game development, I'm very much looking forward to working with the Nodon until I am finally ready to step into real code again. Java classes in college just didn't stick, and they were NOT helpful...
I can't decide if to get this or dreams. This seems easier to make games on than dreams, but dreams is easier to play games on. I won't be home for the summer either so I want a game that I can play on my Switch....

To be completely fair to Nintendo... "Trial and error" is the very definition of game development. That's how you know it's powerful.

It's hard to see why you would want to jump into something like this over established learning tools like scratch (which does have an easy way to share AND its free). Hopefully the community will come together and create a cool website to post your stuff on or something.
But you can share???
@6:09 Labo VR garage also has the switch level feature
6:10 the game explain review says you can share your creations online.
I feel this type of game can't be fully reviewed until we see what the community comes up with in a few months.
but is something like a metroidvania, with unlocks that help you progress in other areas, or an RPG with gradually increasing stats even possible with the way games link? I'd assume they just take you from one game to another without carrying over any data, but I'd love to be wrong.
A metroidvania could be possible, but I don’t think it’ll be possible for an RPG, as far as I know there isn’t a way to have stats increase and have them transfer to the next part.
@@staples515 but it would have to be like a separate game cloned from the old one with the new unlocked move added as part of the moveset, I'd assume
A 3D editor view, the ability to attack objects however you want rather than predetermined connection points, and screen space UI would make this perfect
Gonna make an early port of Friday Night Funkin to the Switch. I have experience on making mods for 5 months now so I think I can handle it. I am gonna use the game's source code as the basis of the code used in GBG.
Notes: First and foremost I am gonna try to make the game as age appropriate as possible in order to meet Nintendo's standards of Code and Conduct in order for the game to up online with no worries.
Changes include guns being replaced, swear words being removed/replaced, violence being toned down etc.
While you can't record your own music in game builder garage you can make your own music in someway. If by any chance link me samples of the games note composition so I can create the music beat by beat perfectly. The music may not be 100% identical to the original game, but it will be an effort.
I remember spending hoooours upon hours building Doom wads in the late 90s. It was so simple and my brain was capable of wrapping around it, but if I were a younger man I'd love this.
having played Dreams on ps4, this one seems to be a bit disappointing, tbh. i was expecting it to be way more complex than this in terms of creative freedom. you can't really create anything you want from scratch. it still looks solid but i was expecting more.
I think it's more for younger kids or people who want to code something but have no experience. Seems pretty cool to me!
@@williamruiz5965 tbh it looks more messy then dreams
@@zanecallisto4169 It's more messy when you want to make complex games. It's good for simple platformers tho.
@@danielj8085 yeah but that's beacause you don't need much code compared to other games the presentation on garage is really simple and nice but it gets too cluttered with heaps of Shit on screen
I know this is *Nintendo*Life, but does anyone here remember Carnage Heart on the Playstation where you program a battlebot to face up against opponents? It didn’t review well, but I was so addicted to it.
It NEEDS more object creation tools
all the game needs is the ability to make ui, and we're golden
GAYME BUILDAR GARRAJ
Love u btw
Currently working through the tutorials, which are so well paced and can't wait to upload my creations on my channel!!
I have a theory that they’ll add more content to the game as this year goes on
Juuuuust waiting for an among us remake.
Sus
I was excited to try the Demo but the download won’t start…(bc of the software update snafoo?) Hoping for a fix soon!
30 bucks for a very limited game engine...I'm sorry but I'll stick with developing games on my PC for free.
Exactly
Actually its 30 dollars and its too help kids learn about programming aoubisly its not unreal engine but its pretty cool for what its worth
@@movieswowyayhoray3822 Not really, this engine is very weak and the programming that can be done isn't complex. Roblox is more complex and that's free.
@@movieswowyayhoray3822 Many other games can manage to teach children how to be game developers, like Minecraft, Roblox, or even Fortnite, for example. Unreal engine is very complex for a child to understand since it involves coding in C++, which is also a pretty complex language to learn. I'm just saying that teaching a child how to code is pretty simple and can be done with little to no cost, and Game Builder Garage seems to just complicate things (as Alex said, there should be more tutorials).
@@samuelcamargo6937 umm... Unreal Engine is actually free. Same with Unity currently. They only start charging you once you sell a game and it reaches a certain point of sales and money earned. They are some of the number one go to engines for indie games for a reason. I say this because I have downloaded both of them for free
The sprite texture is the best part of this. It looks like pixel sprite games will be this games strongsuit.
As far as i know you can do some modeling both in 2D sprites & 3D models but its just tricky to do that
I doubt it'll happen, but fingers crossed Nintendo will at least add more models, and at most allow custom models later.
I wish it had a simple model creator. Maybe they could have done it using voxels. However, I understand that it doesn’t have a UI for downloading levels. Moderating that would be terrible.
Anyone remember the Little Big Planet games? They had soul and were brilliant and super diverse in what could be made.
Guys go to the Game builder garage sharing site it is open right now!
time flies, I remember when this was just announced
It feels like a younger alternative to Unreal Engine’s Blueprints and I love it.
Yeah this is nice, but can it run Doom?
The tools and logic available are very impressive, but the complete lack of any sort of significant asset editing in any form kills this for me.
As a game dev I love this. I'm trying to teach my son programming. This game is great for what it is u you want to do more go to unreal engine other wise no one should complain about it it's great for what it has and there probably gonna just update it as time go by. Great video
We need a custom model maker
I feel like what this game needs is a way for people to play these games. I really doubt people are gonna buy this game to play other people's creations and a game about game development isn't going to appeal to most people. I think a way to play other peoples creations without buying the game would probably increase its popularity and encourage more people to upload games or maybe see what is possible in the full game and become intrigued. Of course this is Nintendo we're talking about and they don't even have a way to browse people's creations implemented in the actual game
Really wish you could use something like the Wii U gamepad for the coding and stuff so you don’t have to keep docking and undocking your switch everytime
Playstation: dreams
PC: game engines
Nintendo: game builder
Xbox:...
I hope Nintendo considers mouse support for more games. I'd love to play Splatoon with a mouse/keyboard.
The real question: will there be fish splish 2?
Maybe sooner than you think...
every switch player should be able to play these created games with their online subscription. just think 80 million browsing these games
I hope the update the game to add more polygons or a polygon creator
The tutorial characters are called Alice and Bob? Nice cryptography reference there! Gave me a good chuckle.
As an aspiring dev who just hasn't been able to fully wrap my head around most of the logic behind game development, I'm very much looking forward to working with the Nodon until I am finally ready to step into real code again. Java classes in college just didn't stick, and they were NOT helpful...
Swedish flag is a big plus? Not the Swiss one? Great video anyway, nice look into an interesting concept
I can't decide if to get this or dreams. This seems easier to make games on than dreams, but dreams is easier to play games on. I won't be home for the summer either so I want a game that I can play on my Switch....
this game needs more updates with more features. it's already massive, why not make more? the more the merrier right? then the sky will truly be the limit.
This is probably going to get updates like maybe a 3D modeler
Hopefully
Did you get to play it because it won’t let me I think I am just dumb
Are there audio options to create custom sound effects or soundtracks?
You could open other programs with a node in Labor VR. It also had the game swap tool but was called something else.
My brain is melting just looking at these menus...
