and wishlist my game! store.steampowered.com/app/2862470/BUMBI/
Aww sorry to hear about Marley, 16 years is a nice long life!
AYY YOW! IT'S CODE MONKEY😀😀😃😃🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thank you! Yes it was :)
I LOVE THE DOG!!
now that the player isn't just a random blobby guy, the game feels like it has much more of an identity of its own.
Thank you! I agree :D
Wait I was right
Haters are an indicator of popularity, so my congratulations!
no
@@fv4202x very argumentative
Haha thank you!
@@kostariev_vadim and what about your argument. Source? dude just trust me?
@@fv4202x boy chill or are you maybe already my first hater?
I added BUMBI to my wishlist, can't wait!!!
Thank you!
Dogs passing leaves scars.
I love that you decided to make the main character as a dog. Already wishlisted BUMBI for a long time now but I am certainly glad that you made an upgrade for it, cause honestly, I was still hesitant on whether I will actually buy it or not, but now I will really buy it ❤
Oh no rest in peace little Marley :( you shall live on as a platforming god
Thank you 💖
How do I keep finding you?!
@@facelessanon I guess we’re both everywhere 🥷
pass the game GOAT
@@iDabblomg thank u
The last screenshot you showed at the end with the art from jelly car worlds would be an amazing addition to the art style. I definitely recommend adding it!
Yes, I am very much considering that direction.. a few months more of work xD
"I've been a game developer for 7 years and never released a paid game" *sighs in old geezer* BUT SOON
I'm going on like 20 years without a paid game release. -_-
... well, i was sad that my game would take like 5 years to be ready. but now i know it could be worse
I love your videos. They're a great mix of good humor, behind the scene work and great advice ❤
Thank you!! 🙏
This is a top tier devlog. Great writing and superb editing. Sorry to hear about your loss :( I'm glad you were able to honor your dog through your game.
Thank you very much! Love your videos :D
The Cybertruck joke made me verbally laugh out loud unexpectedly. Game looks awesome too, cant wait to play it with this very cool new mascot!
haha thank you!
Me too. It was clever and perfectly delivered.
@@uheartbeast oh dude! You taught me pixel art
Unrelated to the video's topic, but gotta admit your videos are pretty well made and entertaining! I've been watching you since the past few days(💀) and you might just be my next favourite creator. Subscribed☝🏻🤓
1:55 Right, its important to have at bare minimum a game that you yourself like (in your case the art style). This was a good decision, the game looks much better now!
Thank you!
RIP Marley.
Bumbi looks amazing Samyam. Its been fun watching this go from the early design to the updated level art to the puppy.
Thank you 💖
I love your videos and your game is in my wishlist! Keep it up!
Thank you so much for the support
When your code so spaghetti you can't find the spaghetti 🍝 and had to use other pasta. Normal programmer day... Welcome 🤗
And then there's me who hasn't resolved the flickering tiles issue in my unity 2d project for the past 3 months💀💀💀💀
Good job, looks a lot better
TBH getting over $300 on an itch release is pretty great!
Thank you!
The improvement is huge!
Superb! Very honest, in fact more open and honest than most developers would normally be. I agree that the dog artwork and adjustments have def improved the look and feel of the game. As someone who is not an artist and probably needs to hire a character designer myself could you possibly give an order of cost to indicate how much getting a basic character with animations might cost? Being quite poor I don't want to be ripped off; I also don't want to insult the artists with too low an offer whilst having higher expectations! Good luck.
Well usually the artist will give you a rate. I've seen from $20-$40 per animation being normal. Sometimes if you buy a lot of animations it can be lower cost per animation. So a few hundred dollars depending on how many animations you need and it's detail.
These little videos keep me inspired that one day my little game will make it to steam. You have my support!!
Thank you! Best of luck you can do it!
2:17 obligatory stone slide sfx
The dog is so cute, feeling sad for him
It's hard to know when to listen to criticism and when to ignore them hehe. Amazing work so far~ an awesome dedication to a lovely doggo :D
Thank you!
Great video, the game looks much better and fun, i think adding textures like the last screenshot you showed is gonna make it look even better. It's wishlisted!
Thank you! I’m very much considering it!
Wishlisted the game. You took my heard.
I looked at the steam page. It kind of reminds me of one of those old flash games I used to play like 20 years ago in my web browser. That's what the artwork makes me think of. I wish listed it. I also am a game developer. It's not my job but more my hobby. Anyways I do most of my work in Unity. I've been working in Unity for 6 years but even before that I've been learning/working on games. I started around 2001 with QBASIC and just made text based games. Later I learned the draw function and made animations but didn't make a game doing it that way. I never actually started with a real game engine until 2018 but in the mid 2000's I did do some stuff with RPG maker. In 2021 I briefly worked for Procedural Worlds and in 2022 I released a game asset called Urban Architect. I also have never made a paid game.
Nice! Hopefully you can release a paid game one day (if that's your dream). Thank you for the wishlist!
The Game looks much better, believe me.
It needs some more refinements like detailed graphics, interactions, maybe even other characters in the world imo.
Also you might want to rework the logo so it sticks better.
You're doing really great, and Negative feedback is the best feedback you can get.
Thank you very much!
Great video. Shows you can make a game just by... well making a game. I know a lot of people who get stuck in tutorial hell thinking they need to know every function of a game engine or how to model/rig/animate/code perfectly. Problem with that approach is following tutorials is often not as rewarding and more of a chore. Best way to be a game dev is to actually make a game and just learn as you go.
Facts! I still watch tutorials and read documentation during the process, you can do both at the same time!
Your dog animation and other changes truly make a difference! Nice one! 😄 Btw well done for coping with so many negative comments... I find it difficult dealing with even 1 negative comment on my videos
Thank you!
I do love the little man, ill call him mr. nub
This video is so relatable! I've only been seriously attempting game dev for about a month now but the spaghetti code, hacky solutions, and not being able to please everyone are already sounding pretty familiar. I also think it's really sweet that the game is dedicated to your dog - I have a senior dog of my own and I don't know exactly how long he has left, but I'll almost certainly dedicate my first game to him for being my best buddy.
Thank you so much! Best of luck on your journey you can do it!
1:10 Look ma, I'm famous! I added Bumbi to my wishlist to show support. The game looks better every time I see it. I like when games are bright and colorful. Good Job
Hahaha thank you for the support!
RIP Marley. I really like the new aesthetic!
Thank you!
The new look is awesome. I also liked the idea of having different art styles in each level or each world. Like a crayon world, a digital world, I don't know. Keep up Sam!!!
Thank you so much!
Well, that's a like and a subscribe.
As someone who's been an aspiring gamedev who's never gotten anything done for... 20 years... I think this is the kind of content I need to inspire me.
That and a decent stable income, which is why I'm becoming a webdev and will do my gamedev as a hobby.
Thank you! Best of luck on your journey you can do it :D
Okay but she’s so pretty
i think the ONLY place where the cybertruck would not feel completely out of place is in the 1982 tron
This is awesome! I really want to make your backgrounds a bit fancier though 😂
Still working on it! 😄 Thanks!
@@samyam No problem 😄
fly high Marley!
thank you :)
you are a good narrator
Im in the jorney of finish and publish my first comercial game, and your are my #1 inspiration
Aw thank you so much! Best of luck on your journey!
I must say Samyam, I’ve been following your channel for quite a bit and you’re content keeps getting better and better. 👏
Go Bumbi! 🐶
Thank you so much :D I am trying to get better each time haha
@@samyam Aren’t we all? 😄
Sometimes bad publicity can be good publicity.😂 also congrats Miss Samyam
Feedback is important but we also need to pay attention what kind of feedback we are getting and from who.
Bumbi is such a cute word lol dogs are the best, ours had damaged her back from landing badly after a jump and it took her half a year to be able to walk again but we got her an awesome dog pram so we can still bring her on forest walks with us. She never misses out haha well done on your game, surprisingly relatable about the spaghetti code. Always try to find ways of making your values dynamic and easily editable for future proofing. Good luck with your next one!
Looks like some great progress Sam!
Thank you!
Ok now give my life the same glow up you gave Bumbi.. ᵖˡˢ
I feel like abstract backgrounds works better (like jelly world) than current sprites that lacks style or artistic direction, but the dog has a lot of cool animations (the ones sliding are particularly great). It might just need a few tweaks to feel really juicy. One example is how the running animation doesn't match the movement speed. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! That should be an easy fix (running and speed) appreciate pointing it out!
Hey Sam! Great video, made me genuinely smile =) keep at it, you're doing a great job
Thank you!
Wishlisted!! 🎉
Thank you so much!!
I adore the new artstyle lets go
This video is incredible, Sam! I'm weirdly excited to check out Bumbi considering I normally don't really play platformers. Also, sorry to hear about Marley :( hope you're doing well
bumbi bumbi bumbi bumbi
Maybe I should look into Game Maker. Been wanting to make a 2D game myself, though it would be more of a 2.5D game with what I'm planning. Or I could ask you to maybe consider making a 2.5D metroidvania for your next project and we could collaborate. Got a GDD and theme song ready for it. Anyway, game looks interesting.
Thank you for all your valuable feedback, Chad
Great improvements! I wouldn't take the hate to heart. Some people will hate anything. However, I would differentiate the hate from actual criticism. People can say your game looks ugly and that's it but the ones that give you an explanation to why it looks ugly can be helpful. Maybe it's shading, color choice, certain details, etc.
Yes I love constructive criticism! But a lot of comments were not, just "It's bad" doesn't really help me haha. Thanks!
Love you keep it up😍😍
I can feel your pain - I got my games graphics dissed even in positive reviews 😔
🥲
keep your dream live
Live your dreams!!!
You were very resilient, not everyone has the ability to analyze feedback and use it constructively and intelligently. I imagine it is exhausting, especially because you have to filter what is really relevant or not, there will always be haters for anything that is built.
Thank you!
Spotted myself at 8:26 let's gooo
Fellow spaghetti enjoyer!
Indi-devs be like:
I have analyzed countless games that went viral, all of which have a great gameplay loop that are elevated by the addition of online-coop.
Anyway..... introducing my single player platformer game!
Because that’s the kind of game I like :)
I really don’t want to be mean but it looks like a flash game made by a kid
now the dog IS very good, it’s just that the other assets don’t mix well with the dog in my opinion
i think that's what she was gong for based on her inspirations, nevertheless it looks charming
Ive seen it on itch, its so simple but it looks very fun and charming
Thank you!
lol, you had me at, I'm Lazy! (True Programmer)
Again: you are a really, really cool girl
We leaned into the art style with our latest release, Bird Year; let the haters hate
Just some creative criticism in my opinion. I just think the art style is kind of bland/boring you know? if that's the look you're going for then you do you and that's fine but nowadays people like stunning graphics and art style. Respectfully the game looks like it was styled in ms paint. To name a few 2D games with great art that can engage the viewer just by the style. Rain World, Bread & Fred, Celeste and even Pizza tower has some style to it. I'm not trying to sound like a hater as the game looks fun with the gameplay but the graphics could use some working on if possible. I don't know how much a artist cost and if you can afford one but I think it could 100% help your game. other than that the game looks pretty good and I wish you the best of luck
it looks pretty good - i thnk the think people are probably complaining about is the colour cohesion. your main character is black-and-white so it makes it fit in with everything, but you still need to make sure the colours of the background look good. try to learn about hue-shifting - it should help you pick good environment colours.
Thank you! Yes I'm still playing around with it. As a programmer mainly it's a bit difficult for me but I'm learning!
Been a game developer for 7 years and never released a paid game? Come back to me at 25 years... I - I really should try and release something commercially ಠ_ಠ
Edit: Funny enough, I'm really enjoying the low ceiling requirements for publishing a Playdate game (like, expectations aren't huge; games are meant to be short experiences). Takes a lot of the stress out of it. Might end up publishing on that platform first.
Sooooo much better! Good job!
Thank you!
New style is definetly better. Not sure "how much", but better.
This art style reminds me of a very cool game from Miniclip, where you play as a monkey flying an UFO. It is a very simple art style, hand drawn, but it is very cute!
Also, Reddit is one of the worst places to get feedback on anything. I would go for a Discord server targeting game developers or even gaming communities. Not Reddit or, even worse, an anonymous forum. Toxic communities doesn't help at all.
Both artstyles look awesome to me!
But I'm a fellow graphics-dont-matter dev so take that as you will.
On my wishlist!!!!!!
Thank you so much !
We need a good story in the game
😁
I think your game looks fun, and also that fixing the colours would make a huge impact on aesthetics. The lava level in the trailer works a lot better than the grassy/forest level since the colours don't clash there. Making the forest hazards a more neutral colour might work; maybe adding some animation to them in order to indicate that they're hazards instead of the red - like making them shake slightly in place
Thank you for the feedback!
Looking forward to all the levels still to come!
also, haters, schmaters. see ya later haters.
Since i saw the updated art on steam, it actually became one of my most anticipated games this year (i mean don't release it anywhere near the Elden Ring DLC but still).
I'm positively drawn in by the Fancy Pants nostalgia mixed with nightmarish Mario Maker-esque obstacles, not to mention the very real lack of decent canine-based platformers on the market.
Thank you so much!! I'm still planning on changing the art a bit to add more personality/make it match a little more, but I think it'll be a great change!
I'm in the same spot right now. Wasting months just trying to fix code. Fun...
This is why you plan out everything in advance before you open your IDE,
Very sorry to hear about your dog passing away ❤️
Continued good luck with the release 👍🏼
Thank you 💖
A lot of the comments you showed weren't even hating honestly, like at all lmaooo
FANCY PANTS LETS GOOOOO
Hey ! Will you be in Barcelona @ Unity Unite in September ?
yes!
@@samyam See you there then :-) If I see you I'll come say hello. I'll be the French guy with a firstname starting with "R" ! :-) Thanks for all the vids btw. xxx
Well done, i've been on my solo project for about 4 years lol
Haha nice, good luck with yours!
Pants guy as an Easter egg when you have more time?
No sorry that would break all of the code again D: I rather add doggo easter eggs
@1:42 I would argue its the balance of a games mechanics and its look which is the MOST important. Look at Vampire Survivors, arguably looks like as you might say 'poop' but the core game is great and then causes players to tell friends. I might also be a bit bias since I could see a photo realistic super amazing platformer and still be like eh .. sorry not my play style :P
If you have haters then you're successful ✊
Looks really nice. Make sure to add localized prices.
And maybe really simple map editor... it would be pretty cool, but still optional.
Perhaps! Although my controller breaks in very certain edge cases that I make impossible in the normal maps.. 😅 Would need to account for those lol
The dog was cute
But I miss the no handed guy :(
Great work paa, It's really looking nice. You're really a genius 😉😍
Thank you!
Man ur game feels like a game that show up when u search Super meat boy like game on newgrounds.
inspired* to make mine!!
good luck!
May i know if it is ok How much did it cost you for the animations
Around $20-30 per animation :)
