I just released a new Unity Asset specifically to help beginners make platformer games (It uses the same Mario style system as shown in this devlog). ► u3d.as/2eYe
You got a sub, you got a wishlister, you got a fan, you are absolutely genious and my prediction is, you are gonna be a sucessful game dev. Looking at the quality and passion of your craft, the nice community you gather with your talent at making videos, you are an inspiration and please, keep fighting to improve the life and vision of the indie gaming industry!
Hey Jason! I truly appreciate your comment man. And I'll say to you this; your positive attitude for others says a lot about your character and values. I wish you all the best in your own life journey, may you find happiness and success!
Looks great! I was obsessed with coding platformers in the early 90's. Wrote my own set of map editors, animation editors, and a nifty sprite compiler. I remember how tricky it was to get the jump feeling *just* right. Looks like you've got it settled. Great video ... subscribed ... best of luck on your game!
Hey John! It sounds like you have quite the repository of knowledge on my fondest genre. It would make for some great tavern talk over many rounds of ale! The jump is most certainly the make or break for any game focusing on precision platforming, I feel much more at peace knowing the current state of it. The retro era is a real treasure trove for this stuff. Glad you enjoyed the video mate, wishing you the best~!
Lost Relic Games yeah, absolutely, let me know if you make it to Austin TX anytime soon! I went to work as a junior programmer at Iguana Entertainment in 1996, then Inevitable Entertainment, and eventually my own VR startup Phaser Lock Interactive. Parted ways with Phaser Lock in 2016, started Thrust Vector to do some more VR, and now doing military/space-related stuff. Still do games in my free time between 2a-5a :-)
God, the bit where you went through a collection of old games just to spam the jump button/analyze the mechanics is too relatable. This is a hilarious video, good work!
Okay well now my jump just feels very inferior. But thank you for the inspiration to work on it some more and make it better! Your final product ended up great!
Man, I really love this channel, I love that your videos are just really chill, they relax me, and also are fun, interesting, inspiring, and informative. Keep it up, you have made a huge difference in inspiring my own game dev adventure. :D
Thanks mate, I want to educate as much as I can, most dev logs I've seen aim to primarily entertain. So if I can blend the two disciples together that will be fantastic! :)
I've been watching your videos for a while and usually enjoy the more serious ones. After watching this one, which was a nice mix of serious and fun, I finally subbed. Oh, and I wishlisted Mud and Bleed. errr... I mean Blood and mead! (Please make Mud and Bleed the sequel though xD)
I really like your art and animations in this game, I thought the old jump was just fine, but after seeing this the new jump is a lot snappier. Nice job!
Bro. Unreal production value - The work you put into this must have been CRAZY haha. More than the work that went into the jump I bet ;) Great content - Easy sub.
Very entertaining video mate, watched it at 1.30am this morning while settling the baby! The new jump feels much snappier and tighter in a good way, will greatly improve the game.
It really is amazing how some elements of gamefeel/design even from just a decade ago already feel dated, but nearly 40 years on and Mario's jump on ye olde NES is still the gold standard.
ROFL - the "No New Ideas" sticky note got me! I'm making a game WAY smaller than Blood and Mead and the moment, and I've had to remind myself of that several times.
I would love a tutorial on this. I've been trying to figure out how to do this on my own for a while and can't figure it out. This is exactly how I want my character to jump, with a fast drop down.
This video was great! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for future uploads of yours. :) Sidenote: I thought you were making this game in a different engine? Did you convert it to unity? I might be thinking of another youtube channel. My apologies if so.
How do you balance making videos and working on your own games? I use instagram to post training/workout stuff, but find it quite time consuming at times to make the right video, take the right angles, have the right lighting etc, it starts to eat away from my rest time and elongates my sessions.
It's a good question. These type of dev logs certainly eat into dev time. The editing is always brutal. I bounce back and forth between the two depending on my current appetite. In the future I'll probably make simpler dev logs, as tying in a narrative adds a significant overhead. (And does not guarantee more views)
Awesome video, but you could've shared the code to your perfect jump!! It's in my todo list to also fix that and you could have saved me some hours of work
If you wanna see the best jump ever check out the upcoming indie game toodee and topdee , I really love the jump in that game all I want to do is jump, maybe there's still a demo on steam PS: there is a game jam version, I'm talking about the commercial version
this is great BUT with your model, that is more detailed than the mario's one, there's a bit of problem with the start of the jump. We see the weight in the landing, but not in the start of the jump...like, the animation lacks a bit of force and speed in the beginning. That, at least, is my opinion.
yo can you hit me up with one of those "no new ideas" post it notes?
No chance mate! That would be like putting a speed limiter on a Lamborghini! :)
it's my boi daniboi
look at that! a golden senpai card.
@Darcy Films shut
@Darcy Films he said in his 1 hour podcast hes dabbled in the other engines alot too
You nailed the storytelling of this video. Great one!
Hahaha The editing is *SOOO GOOD!* 😂...Keep up the *GREAT* Work! ❤
TRUE! The editing is AMAZING
Yeah lol, BEER GANG!
Lol, it was a great vid indeed! 😂
This is more than a devlog, it’s like a spiritual journey. Very well done sir! I salute you
I fear this will be one of the last videos we will see from this guy before he moves on to pursue his true talent; acting.
I'd never noticed how much nuance could be in a video game jump. nice!
The nostalgia of when you blew in the cartridge. So many memories rushed by and I was forced to stop and comment. Thank you.

Aww thanks Jay!

I'm glad mate! I want to teach though these dev logs as much as entertain, so glad you were able to use the info for your own project! All the best
"no milk in my fridge" Loved the reference! You earned yourself a sub!
really nice vid, keep doing it. I like that your getting the support that you desereved , your tutorials helped me to get started
Man, I really love this channel, I love that your videos are just really chill, they relax me, and also are fun, interesting, inspiring, and informative. Keep it up, you have made a huge difference in inspiring my own game dev adventure. :D
Wow this might be the first dev log I’ve actually enjoyed haha, keep it up!
that was hilarious, so entertaining and teachy in one video. Great job!
Thanks mate, I want to educate as much as I can, most dev logs I've seen aim to primarily entertain. So if I can blend the two disciples together that will be fantastic! :)
Adding humour to the video was done well mate. And all the editing must have taken ages! Worth it I reckon, great video.
That feature creep reminder post it sticker is classic!
Striking the task from TODO list feels SOOO GOOD. Great content 👍.Loved it John Wick❤️😎

Excellent Videos! Especially liked "Tomato shaped like a duck".
Great video! can't wait for the game to drop. Just found your channel and have been on a binge
You somehow managed to bring something new to the devlog scene. I applaud you !
finally. I didnt see any interesting devlogs and i found this, great editing and reqlly funny! ”No milk in my fridge” good one :)
I really like your art and animations in this game, I thought the old jump was just fine, but after seeing this the new jump is a lot snappier. Nice job!
This was your best video yet! Really good job.
Bro. Unreal production value - The work you put into this must have been CRAZY haha. More than the work that went into the jump I bet ;) Great content - Easy sub.
Haha you know it! Blood sweat and tears - the jump was certainly the easy part as you suggested ;) I appreciate the comment and sub man!
Cool vid. I like how you explain about jumps.
I love how you make game dev look so fun, I mean it's already fun; but man, you make it even more fun. Keep up the good work, dude.
Thanks Adam!
I really like this kind of video style, keep it up!
I love the aesthetics of this game!
This is a fantastic dive into your journey to get jumping into your game.
Heya Skeffles! I'm glad you like the look and enjoyed the video! :)
I love this format! Your reactions are priceless, haha.
That's one of the funniest and best devlogs I 've watched. It would be nice to make a tutorial on this jump.
Thanks George! That's a great idea, I'll sort that tutorial out soon!
hahaha, your channel is great John!
Wow super high quality video, keep it up man!
Very entertaining video mate, watched it at 1.30am this morning while settling the baby! The new jump feels much snappier and tighter in a good way, will greatly improve the game.
A new game dev here, first time watching your video and it is very relatable! Great video! you earned a like and subscriber
Hi takarasan! Glad to have you as a viewer, wishing you best on your game dev journey!
@@LostRelicGames Thank you so much! :D it is heartwarming to hear a reply from you!

Physical out loud laughter continuously throughout the video
Well, that was a fun video 😆 I love your storytelling 👏😀
Intro is exquisite!
Very cool video, I laughed a lot here! Congratulations on the job!
ROFL - the "No New Ideas" sticky note got me! I'm making a game WAY smaller than Blood and Mead and the moment, and I've had to remind myself of that several times.
Sooooo good and entertaining XD Fantastic vid!
Very nice refinement of the jump!
love your vlog style dude!
Thanks Jimmy!
Ahahaha I get the "floaty jump" comment in every one of my devlogs too XD
No big words, just another great video. cheers! :)
“No milk in my fridge” was that a Dani diss?
Yes
Love the new devlog style!
New devlog is up peeps!
Haha..my self a dev, great video man, subbed ! :)
I would love a tutorial on this. I've been trying to figure out how to do this on my own for a while and can't figure it out. This is exactly how I want my character to jump, with a fast drop down.

Great video, great looking game. Added to wishlist :) Did you update the asset with the new jump aswell?
Thanks mate! The game has come a long way since this devlog, will have to post some new updates soon. I appreciate the wishlist!
10:02 I was lookin' where the dog at
This was a really good video! Love your energy!
I'm happy Im not the only one to have my character jump infinity upward.
Idk man, this new jump feels kinda......
AWESOME!!!!
Good video, as always. Keep up the good work, happy coding everyone
Never have I seen, a jump more beautiful than thee...
Great video man, thanks for all advices
2:14 My childhood flashback lol👍
@Lost Relic Games "what were you drinking?"
That Dani reference
Really fun video.. the game looks awesome
this was very helpful and enjoyable to watch, thank you!
Nintendo is epic and so are u
yeah. i always teach my students the mario jump when we are doing platformers

Can’t wait for this game brother!!!!
You're awesome man. I really wanna start a youtube channel because of you now. Nice content subscerbd!
Awesome mate, start one for sure, a lot of work, it even more fun!
your videos are very fun to watch
great video. i love this humor and jokes
What do you use to make your vector 2d characters and assets?
Great video, really well put together. Beer Gang woo !!!
Awesome video, but you could've shared the code to your perfect jump!!
It's in my todo list to also fix that and you could have saved me some hours of work
Thanks Daniel, I will aim to put out a follow-up tutorial on the topic
Ngl this man be looking like Legolas's younger brother
0:04 hotline miami 2 wrong number ending
Did you use any Floaty points to get the jump correct ..
Should have made your method "Mario Jump" (you know, for the video. lol
Great work, also FLOATY :D
Please make olaf grab the hat when falling, so it doesnt fly away
heavier objects fall at the same speed as lighter objects, falling speed is determined by the form of the object cuz of the friction with the wind
6:35 no brain viking?
hmm ok
Hey man, mind dropping the name of that neat little beat that starts up around 3:30? :)
Your game in this video is very more cool than it in steam because the first is more zen. congratulation and encouragment for next.
hEY floaty boy!
If you wanna see the best jump ever check out the upcoming indie game toodee and topdee , I really love the jump in that game all I want to do is jump, maybe there's still a demo on steam
PS: there is a game jam version, I'm talking about the commercial version
new viking jummp sexy af
I aspire to reach Relic Dog status for my platforming skills.
You’re pretty funny I think I’ll subscribe
You could be working on the next Matrix movie.
In before nintendo strikes the video for 2 seconds of mario :d jkjk
Would not surprise me! ;)
Soo goood to watch XD
this is great BUT with your model, that is more detailed than the mario's one, there's a bit of problem with the start of the jump. We see the weight in the landing, but not in the start of the jump...like, the animation lacks a bit of force and speed in the beginning. That, at least, is my opinion.
7:08 and 7:17... is that a not-so-subtle way of telling us you're not wearing any bottoms?
"Floaty" **vomits**
