This video couldn't have come at a better time. I decided to participate in my first Game Jam this year and was looking for some pointers. I'm super excited!
I’m at uni for game design and I’m going to a Jam this weekend for the first time. I’m only in my first year so I don’t actually know how to make a game yet, but I’m really looking forward to being in a room with people who *do* know how, as well as just being exposed to the game dev environment
I really love your game jam games and tutorials, they really help me out. But have you ever made a big game? Like one that you could get paid for? Dani is working on Karlson and Blackthornprod made The dreadful whispers, I would really love to see a full game from brackeys.
Nice video! The tips you showed here would've really helped me and my friend during the Quarantine Jam, especially things like planning and... 𝙋𝙇𝘼𝙔𝙏𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙂 I appreciate the work you guys put into these videos, and look forward to future content! Thanks! :D

Why wait? Why not give it your best shot, even if the game sucks it will be experience. Save it, and then try again. Honestly if you just did weekly game jams for a year you would become a much better developer than most. Theory is not that useful, you pick up much more when you are doing projects over and over. Take it from someone who spent 10 years with theory.
I'm here to say thank you, I always tried to jump into game design, but never found some good tutorials. As I future Eletric Engineer I hope to be better at progamming as you are.
You think to much, you hope to much. Sit down and write some code, make a game. Does not matter if you dont know how, make some object move. Make something, everyday save everything so you can monitoring your progress. Stop thinking unless you are thinking about how to solve a specefic problem. Make a simulation to show the electric field calculated from the basic rules you know. Dont waste your life hoping, make it happen.
I really got into gamejamming during corona-caused-social-distancing, and I use your tutorials often during jams to solve some programming issues if I have any :D
I always wonder how game developers can learn so many skills quickly. They have to be able to model, make art, do sound design, code (some of the time) and so much more. I'm going to university for game design and development and, honestly, having to be able to do all this is fucking terrifying. I'm certain that 3 years is not long enough to learn all this.
They make prototypes, they use ready made models or make very simple ones so they can show their vision. Then they foundrise to hire more developers to make their game into reality. For a solo game developer making a full game is not very realistic, like minecraft was possible cause of the very simple first version. Lookup how first version of facebook looked like for example.
I know this comment it 2 years old but you don't need to learn all of this at all. You can specialize in a specific area you like programming, art, or writing, and stick to that. You will be working with a team on most instances, I wouldn't recommend being a solo developer because of the toll it takes and how counterproductive it is. However, if you want to learn multiple skills you totally can, just be aware that it is NOT necessary to learn all of these skills to be a game designer or developer. You typically specialize.
even though i dont make games i still enjoy u making them and showing you how to make them and that is why im going to start making a game and i am going to watch all your tutorials!!!
I'm seeing this whole "planning" phenomenon you're talking about while already 3 days into your Jam. I can confirm, that I did not do any planning other than "I think this idea fits the theme". Will get back to you with how I go.
Me: opens my notebook and pen The paper: a new version is available do you want to download it? Me: no thanks Also the paper: *starts downloading* Me: what do you mean?!?! This is a physical thing ! I hate my life!
6:43 I had it today where I had the problem that I couldnt figure out how to drag an object across the screen with the mouse. After I had dinner, I almost immediatly solved the problem. I have been pretty much working all day.
Sir I've liked your videos for being so intuitive . You serve as a great inspiration to me 🔥 I always try to make game devlogs like you and eventually fail 😅 Can you give me some tips to make more engaging videos for my channel?
I never know if i am ready for game jam as i probably would not finish my game in time cause i have so much other work and lack of skill but maybe in the future i will give it a try. It sounds fun.
I also want to throw in Parsec if you want to playtest with your teammates in local multiplayer, but for some reason you can't meet up. It's also good for screen sharing and remote help.
Hey Brackeys! I've signed up to join your game jam this upcoming September. How did you find a group to join? I've been experimenting for a while now in unity but do not have access to the other engines due to my laptop. Thank you for all you do. your tutorials have helpped me a lot through my unity game development understanding
This goddamned positivity of his is trying its hardest to make me grab Unity and get back into learning to game dev. One of these days he will succeed. Keep up the good vibes, Brackeys!
Tell if you have any questions. Start with something simple. Don't worry about graphic. For first game make an easy endless runner. Don't worry about your code it's normal that at start it won't be perfect. Make 2-3 small ez games. Maybe simple platformer with few short level. Then start to experiment with these games. Add some animations more mechanics to your platformer. Make fun with camera movement. You know someone can always help you
I will Jam next time. I discovered Construct 3 recently with zero coding and I'm so excited... Though if I can't afford it even by then, well, then I'll make a prototype on Adobe XD -- actually works for Point and Click games or visual novels.
What I would suggest would be entering one before you are comfortable with Unity or whichever game engine. It makes it so you don't go for something you have done before and try something new
The Captain Moo That’s a great idea, thanks! So I’ll throw myself out of my comfort zone, this way I won’t try and make a huge project but something simple to build my confidence! Thanks for the advice!
wait, whats this "planning" thing you speak of? sounds useful

I can't believe Brackeys, using Unity, is sponsored by other game engines.
“we will sponsor to not use our engine”
@@why5981 Better than Epic, sponsoring people specifically to not use their competitor, no matter where they go, lol
Probably if fans of Brackeys dont want to use unity because its difficult for them
He is just cool that way
They figured out that if you’re watching brackeys, you’re probably into game Dev so it’s a good place to advertise

Congratulations 🎉, it is a great experience
"let's jump right into it."
"BUT FIRST...!"
gotta love it.
Don't forget...
Play test
Haha
If that's a sentence in jumping off a cliff...
I'm pretty sure I'm falling already before the "But First"...
3:47 When your pen is out of ink... it does need an update
That would then not be considered an update, but rather a replacement. In this context, such as replacing Windows with Linux :)

Game jams are definitely my favourite way to create new games! You always learn something new that you will use somewhere in the future!
I miss this legend
I tried Core, it is interesting, but not a game engine.
it looked similar to roblox studio. it's like in beetween. the best things about them is multiplayer comes easy.
I learned making games from your videos ......Big fan bro........You helped me alot.... Thankyou....
It’s not about the game but the jams you make along the way
I always wonder how game developers can learn so many skills quickly. They have to be able to model, make art, do sound design, code (some of the time) and so much more. I'm going to university for game design and development and, honestly, having to be able to do all this is fucking terrifying. I'm certain that 3 years is not long enough to learn all this.
I try to have fun when learn something new and then I can practice and refine it. Its great to start learn some stuff now. Game jams are cool for this

I like it that the 1.4 million royal subscribers that brackeys had are still here, that concludes me.
The worst part about game jams is that they often jam your brain.
I know you!
@@tobyk5091 I know you too B)

GAME JAMS ARE HARD. YOU GET A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME TO MAKE A GAME BASED ON A GIVEN *THEME* .
Dude you definitely the best ever ......
Of all time

I have a game jam in a hour and this my friend
helps a lot...
I love your attitude...it makes my mood +

I actually registered for my first game jam in July! This video is very helpful for my first time!
Me: opens my notebook and pen
The paper: a new version is available do you want to download it?
Me: no thanks
Also the paper: *starts downloading*
Me: what do you mean?!?! This is a physical thing ! I hate my life!
LMAO ME WITH MY IPAD
Haha accurate
turn it in a game called "notebook 10: annoying update"
Sounds like your paper is running Windows 10.
You sure that isn't Notepad.exe?
"And the theme is AMAZING!"
....
Please show some game dev stuff, you are only person I can understand easily
Hey Brackeys, great video. I have actually participated in LD46 as my first jam. my game is "kill the undead"
The best way to game jam is not to sleep during submissions before you submitted your entry 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you make or recommend a tutorial on player health and enemy Attacks in unity 2D?
Best tip for game jams? Don't procrastinate, my biggest weakness
This video is really interesting !
After submitting your game, play -test- the games from the other participants!
Please can you make an up to date revamp on your survival series
Amazing vid +1 sub
we missed you last week
Just as I submit my own game jam this comes out, talk about the odds
