Oh wow lol I can't believe I didn't notice the "ship" had movement! I thought it was a static tower defense game so I never even touched my keys, I guess that goes to show how important it is to have a tutorial to explain even the basics. Despite not communicating with each other the final game came out really nice! This was a fun project, thanks for the invite!
Good point. It is another lesson learned on how crucial it is to comunicate with the player even tho you couldn't comunicate with yourselves. But at first I even thought that you didn't notice the shop :D
I love how you can just click a link and play the game. It's a great idea! (Unfortunately, unity won't load for me, though...): Edit: After enabling 3rd party cookies and disabling a few extensions, it worked. This is awesome, I could totally see this making a ton of money as a mobile game!
I’m really impressed with Jonas’ approach, he went beyond simply adding mechanics and took a deep dive into the game’s mechanics and overall feel, and how he aimed to build a balance and gameplay style for it.
It would be good to not just do this with content creators but also any full time game devs who are looking to promote their game. it would be a good opporunity
Jonas: so anyway, I wanted to make the game harder so you can’t just survive infinitely because that’s not as fun CodeMonkey: kill all button go brrrrrr
I mean the button makes the game easier, but not extremely easy, like an escape button once every minut? Not bad but still, you need to survive forever
That was the worst set of additions to the game, imo. The “mega missile” should have been made like a bomb in Raiden or 1944. You got 3. Make ‘’em count,
@@mickytananu5908 Didn't realize you can move AND upgrade your ship. Probably didn't even read the code and just threw in some shit as the game is brutally hard if you stay still and use just the first gun. 🤦🏻♂️
@@andonivelasco8466 the missles would've been fine if the other guy improved on the fact, so if u needed missles to kill a certain type of enemies or something but yea it should've been a module but im assuming he put missles because he thought u couldn't move and u would eventually get over whelmed
Aw man, I had hoped that there would be all the developer's reactions to how the game tourned out in here. Like having the first developer react to what the others made of the project would have been really cool.
This looks like a super cool idea and it also looks like it was executed really well if I look at the awesome end result! Sounds like an absolute blast to participate in something like this. It would even be super cool if this was in a game jam format 😃. I found it super funny to see that code monkey didn't even realize that you could move the ship, and yet added a really cool feature to the game. Great stuff, everyone who participated!!
Heh yeah I totally missed that! Really thought it was meant to be a static tower defense game, that's a very practical example of how important tutorials are!
This has been super fun to watch and participate in. Knowing how everything came together is a revelation :D I had made various guesses what features were made by Jonas and was right about half the time haha Also the codemonkey part explained so many things about why the missles were implemented this way ^^
WE NEEEEED more collab content! I especially liked the inclusion of Sokpop, been following them on Twitter for at least a year now and they make cool little stylized games! ❤
I found this challenge and watched all parts of this challenge series. I love them! I really really love them and hope for more such content. It's so fascinating to see how the different devs interpret the game and how they want to improve it. It is truly unique and worthy of subscribing. Thanks for all the work!
If there is a next time, i feel like having the art done in one of the final few steps would make this way more chaotic, since people will be trying to guess what the hell they are looking at, and so the style of the game could change speratically.
This was a really cool concept for a video, and I'm impressed how good that game came out. Only thing I feel like the video is missing is a segment at the end where we can hear everyone react to the finished product. See people express surprise at later developments and to discuss how it differs from what they expected.
If your still open to suggestions I would say that instead of losing a heart every time the enemy comes in contact.. I would make it so the parts that have been added by the player take damage and fall (you can add a reinforce upgrade that protects it from +1 hits and make it more expensive every time you use it) And If all the extra parts are gone and it hits the main body then you take the heart and maybe add some particles or effect to make it seem more serious, as the current version of losing a hear feels like its not a big deal.
Some of the things Jonas thought of and the way he really thought about the knock-on effect of the different changes was really cleverly done. MVP on a team where everyone was already more than pulling their weight
This was one of the cooler game dev challenges out there! I'd love to see this again but different people, maybe less people. Different types of people (devs, animators, graphics, etc) and I could see so much content here !
GIVE THEM ONE MORE HOUR and the Game's superior to Yandere-Simulator. ...Telling, aint it? Jokes aside: Game Making is truly an Art-Form AND a Science. Unfortunately, i dont know how one can better themselves in Art, except one advice: Check out other people's work. Learn, get inspired, respect youre colleages and predecessors. If someone has no Respect... well... lets say Doctor Who and other Franchises got to feel what it means to be taken over by those without Respect. Sorry for the long comment, but at long last, my point: I do know how to become better at Science, which is checking out various TH-camrs like Professor Dave, Sci Show, Sci Man Dan, Hbomberguy, Tom Scott and Joe Scott.
Fantastic to see this didn't all fall to pieces. I've often thought about similar challenges with multiple devs working on 1 game. It's great to see you actually go through with it.
Such a cool project. I really love the fact you went for no communication at all. And the game is actually fun adn looks good. I wonder if this could work for even longer chain (20+ people). I guess just getting into code would maybe take too much time, or there would not be easy way to add complexity without reworking the core.
@@BlackStarForge I am making a game inspired by Kurzgesagt's videos too (their immune system ones in my case). It's still not developed enough for Reddit, but seeing the enthusiasm that the community showed for yours was very encouraging early on (I began coding about one month before your first post), and I admire how you have managed the community side of your project and adapted to the outcome of the conversations with Kurzgesagt.
You could have added dropped items and missions to collect a certain number of dropped items. Then your player would have to leave your ship to pick them up. This would add a lot more depth to where you place modules because your ship would not be able to move while you are outside.
I used to play a flash-based game called "Bubble tank" back in the days and it has a similar vibe and its really exciting seeing you recreate the idea. Good job guys.
First prototype was already huge btw. Second addition (modules and movement) was a jump over the head. Code Monkey was bringing not just new silly mechanic, but idea of it. Some more of this silly things around not ship but modules and play with balance and enemies and it will be very nice "son of" crimsonland. I now can see why hyper casuals won the game for mobile gaming. Prototyping is a huge initial one-step way to most important first part of games - gameplay.
EEEEEEEE OMG I LOVE THIS!!! I feel Code Monkey was the dev who didn’t add the most. He didn’t seem to play the game as he didn’t even move from the “spawn point” and I wish he improvised on the missiles with the shop adding another weapon type. He didn’t ruin the game as it works as a good panic button late game.
Sokpop amazed me. Getting all of those ideas pretty much instantly and executing them very well takes so much skill. Awesome video! I'd love to see more of this!
This is a well made video and a great Idea, very entertaining. Some Feedback: Would have been nice to have a reaction of the final game from all participating Devs
I would love to see a talk at the end where you get together and learn what others had in mind or what were the strange peaces of code that later ones didn't use were meant for.
Wow, that looked awesome! Really well executed with the constraints of the format, I'll have to try something like it one day Super interesting mechanics and gorgeous art style, man I might just have to steal the game idea :D
Damn! I'm impressed. That turned out well. I know you do it nowadays, but I wish I could have seen the devs play it, and all react together on this one as well!😋
I would love if you finish the video by the reactions of all the developers when they see the final look of it. Specially the one who came up with the prototype.
I think the ONLY thing I would add to the final product (aside from a 'controls' splashscreen) would be that those asteroid slimes (whatever the enemies are called) could only be broken by a rocket before you could kill them. 10/10 amazing work from everyone!
cute art style ✨♥️ can't wait to see how the game turns out in the future. quick suggestions: maybe have a mini ecosystem for environment immersion? like small fishes jumping put of the pond, frogs chillin on lilypads, sheeps roaming around and stuff.
This is so cool! My favorite addition was the middle attack Code Monkey added in. Such a cool looking game. You guys gonna release the source code by chance? 😆
This is amazing! I'm jealous, I hope I get the opportunity to be a great developer like you all and work in a team that makes a nice polished game one day.
Was hoping to see you (and maybe even the other devs) give your first reaction/impression to the completed game. Still a great video, subscribing and cant wait to see more!
If possible with schedules, would like to see this concept again but with a 2nd loop, where after the last dev it goes back to the first and they all get another time chunk to work on it! Sounds fun to see people react to and try to work with their vision of the game after every other dev had put their hands on it
Hilarious how everyone feature creeped the superfluous stuff but only one person at the very end tried to expand the core shooting loop. Really important lesson to learn there
I love that with Jonas and CodeMonkey you see two/three design principles collide in ways that change the game quite a bit. Jonas is slow and steady, the player's choices are low impact but add up and determine victory or defeat collectively. Every choice matters in the end. CodeMonkey is fast and precise, letting the player take high impact decisions that are never undone or out balanced by the previous, each decision leads to a momentary and immediate victory. Every choice matters immediately. Jonas takes passive skills like planing and modal placement, and rewards that with results. An expanded list of pieces and effects to add to your ship as an opportunity for passive skill as reward for active skill. CodeMonkey takes active skills like timing and live predictions, and rewards that with results. A high impact targeted attack, and a volley attack that gives breathing room from enemies for active skill. Then Jonas with a focus on slowing game flow to give space. Managing the expectation of skill on the player. Giving them time to think. With CodeMonkey making them think faster to create space. It's so interesting, and it also collides with how CodeMonkey didn't know WASD let you move because like how a player might not know. The game didn't tell them. It's so cool!
honestly i dont watch these for the chaos (like others who were complaining about the lack of chaos) i watch them for the creativity and also i like when people handle others ideas with respect but without being scared to improve them. we all have different skill sets so more people can always improve on one persons work
This idea is awesome :D Honestly I hope to see more of this in the future with even more developers like Dani, or maybe even doing another variant of this where you start off with a child creating a small game idea (since they tend to have some crazy ideas and drawings) and starting the creation process using a game developer with less experience, and slowly moving to more experienced developers. So going from a child, to a high school developer, to a college developer, to an indie developer, to a big time developer and so forth all in this style of no communication.
I love these challenge videos, but of them all, this is the one that definitely resulted in the best game in my opinion. I keep going back to play it over and over, would never have guessed it was made in such a chaotic way if I hadn't seen the vid.
Very cool video, great idea. Makes me want to focus on my gamedev skills more to be able to take part in something like that. I was just hoping that there wold be some video call that you gyus would record and shere where you all play and react to the final version of the game and discuss what each of you were thinking.
6:56 Jonas: Now I can already I Can Already imagine people will play it and say "Jonas! You ruined the balancing you made it, you broke it" Reality Codemonkey: *Makes a f*cking Kill All Button and the Difficulty Scaling that Jonas did was made absolutely useless*

just downloaded and for a game that is collaborated on without communication this is very polished, I love the art especially, the music almost made me zone out in the middle of playing, Great project and i wish you all the best!
Woah, Noa, Liam and everyone else who participated in this little game challenge, that was amazing. Not only did a really good game come out of it in the end an entertaining video was made in the process. This is truly one of the most impressive things I’ve seen and I would love to see more like this. As always I’m Gamerworks, leaving my little appreciation for this awesome video
This is scarily close to my latest game jam project! altough 10000 times better since you guys actually know what you are doing compared to me 🤣 really fun concept, i hope to see more of these collabarations in the future!
Reminds me a lot of this old flash game on Kongregate. Can't remember the name, though. You were a bubble, could shoot enemies, buy upgrades, and progress through levels getting harder and harder as it went. Bosses every like 5 levels, many MANY different enemies that would feature the upgrades from the shop. It was really fun and I played and beat it a lot. I wish I could remember the name or even just play it again.
Oh, how i wished some talented, young Programmers would make a HunterxHunter Game. Until now, no one has done real-good with this, despite the franchise being so super-popular and it’s magic-system being even more popular.
What a fun challenge! I would love to do something like this. It's kind of like the game dev version of the telephone game. I also like the idea of taking what was obviously the intent of the other developers and completely flipping it into something else!
this reminds me to a gamejam who started me as game developer, where there was lots of developers to make a level of a game and after that all they are joined, it was AMAZING.
I love this idea! This was amazing! Can you do it again? Maybe you send it to everyone 2x but in the same order.. person 1,2,3,4,5,6 and then person 1 would get it back and it goes down the line one last time. I think everyone would have more freedom while also getting the chance to focus on polishing the final product.
Very cool project and the result turned out way better than I would have ever imagined after hearing what the challenge is. A small suggestion if you are doing a video like this again (because I think thas has the same potential for a great series like mizizizi's 4 devs jam - 1 art kit): I'd really love see a response / reaction from each dev when they see the final result. Stuff like: "oh I'm glad you picked up on this" or "well that turned out way different than I expected".
Adopting this idea into a wider project would be really interesting to see. I make no claims in the realm of game development, but an interesting addition to this would be basic story elements and potentially even a planet placed somewhere on the far bottom of the map. I had this vision as one of the devs was piloting the ship down the screen that there could be a flashing set of text triggered by being close to what the system could recognize as a planet, saying something like: sensors are picking up a strong gravitational reading, before the bottom of the screen is enveloped by what could definitely be a sphere if it's top was not a literal wave of blue and green. The player could pass over this zone, following into another one where the ship controls a "descent" animation that transitions the player into another map on the ground, with the ship nearby and ready to pilot. The top down view could really make for an interesting experiment in terms of how to make these transitions feel stable. Regardless of what you guys plan to do with the finished product, this was so amazing to watch and it really took my imagination out and let it roam with your guys' additions. Thank you so much for this video
Makes me think that 95% without communication might be the sweet spot. No excessive meetings and a hard cap on how much you can communicate would be an extreme teamwork method. For small games and prototyping anyway. I suspect it would need more for bigger projects.
This was great to watch. I remember suggesting this in another video but it was a ring of games, everyone would start one game and finish another. But I guess this is much convenient for us viewers to follow along. I enjoyed following everyone's creative processes and loved the result. It's very suitable for a series ;)
This was actually very satisfying to watch as a low game developer myself to witness creativty and art at its finest this was a truly amazing video and idea props to you @Blackthornprod!
You need to give each following dev increasingly more time - to explore and find out what's already built. E.g. +30 mins to dev 2, +45 mins to to dev 3, etc. It makes sense because more and more content is added that requires to get familiar with.
Cool idea and realisation! Is there a chance you would call Sebastian Lague (Coding Adventures), CodeParade, Carykh or Onigiri? Because the idea is amazing! (Reminds me of Crusader Kings 2 playthrough where each ruler is played by different players (you die and your heir is played by another player))

Great video!

Dude great job balancing the game! Very impressive!

yeah this is true
And yet, you still added in my favorite mechanic!

I like how it started out as a simple Tower Defense and slowly turned into a Master-Piece
This is amazing! I'm jealous, I hope I get the opportunity to be a great developer like you all and work in a team that makes a nice polished game one day.
Was hoping to see you (and maybe even the other devs) give your first reaction/impression to the completed game.
Still a great video, subscribing and cant wait to see more!
A
I liked how every person had his own style of edit and talking. Hope for more this kind of videos . Thank you.
PLEASE make as many of these videos as possible! I am absolutely loving it!!
If possible with schedules, would like to see this concept again but with a 2nd loop, where after the last dev it goes back to the first and they all get another time chunk to work on it! Sounds fun to see people react to and try to work with their vision of the game after every other dev had put their hands on it
Hilarious how everyone feature creeped the superfluous stuff but only one person at the very end tried to expand the core shooting loop. Really important lesson to learn there
I think the row you guys take part in this has much influence. I would love to see you guys switching who starts.
Awesome video and outcome
I love that with Jonas and CodeMonkey you see two/three design principles collide in ways that change the game quite a bit.
Jonas is slow and steady, the player's choices are low impact but add up and determine victory or defeat collectively. Every choice matters in the end.
CodeMonkey is fast and precise, letting the player take high impact decisions that are never undone or out balanced by the previous, each decision leads to a momentary and immediate victory. Every choice matters immediately.
Jonas takes passive skills like planing and modal placement, and rewards that with results. An expanded list of pieces and effects to add to your ship as an opportunity for passive skill as reward for active skill.
CodeMonkey takes active skills like timing and live predictions, and rewards that with results. A high impact targeted attack, and a volley attack that gives breathing room from enemies for active skill.
Then Jonas with a focus on slowing game flow to give space. Managing the expectation of skill on the player. Giving them time to think.
With CodeMonkey making them think faster to create space.
It's so interesting, and it also collides with how CodeMonkey didn't know WASD let you move because like how a player might not know. The game didn't tell them.
It's so cool!
Jonas: I made the game harder to balance it out
Code Monkey: So anyway... KILL BUTTON GO BRRRRRRRRRRRR
honestly i dont watch these for the chaos (like others who were complaining about the lack of chaos) i watch them for the creativity and also i like when people handle others ideas with respect but without being scared to improve them. we all have different skill sets so more people can always improve on one persons work
This idea is awesome :D Honestly I hope to see more of this in the future with even more developers like Dani, or maybe even doing another variant of this where you start off with a child creating a small game idea (since they tend to have some crazy ideas and drawings) and starting the creation process using a game developer with less experience, and slowly moving to more experienced developers. So going from a child, to a high school developer, to a college developer, to an indie developer, to a big time developer and so forth all in this style of no communication.
I love these challenge videos, but of them all, this is the one that definitely resulted in the best game in my opinion. I keep going back to play it over and over, would never have guessed it was made in such a chaotic way if I hadn't seen the vid.
Jonas was the goat in this one. Made me laugh out loud even though I'm sick with a high fever. Thanks for the great, healing energy y'all.
Very cool video, great idea. Makes me want to focus on my gamedev skills more to be able to take part in something like that.
I was just hoping that there wold be some video call that you gyus would record and shere where you all play and react to the final version of the game and discuss what each of you were thinking.
this is amazing! I love how each section had that creators editing style it made it really cool. And the game itself is amazing too
6:56
Jonas: Now I can already I Can Already imagine people will play it and say "Jonas! You ruined the balancing you made it, you broke it"
Reality
Codemonkey: *Makes a f*cking Kill All Button and the Difficulty Scaling that Jonas did was made absolutely useless*
Not only is this really impressive, but also the game looks incredibly fun! I can't wait to try it out
GIVE THEM ONE MORE HOUR
and the Game's superior to Yandere-Simulator.
...Telling, aint it?
Jokes aside:
Game Making is truly an Art-Form AND a Science.
Unfortunately, i dont know how one can better themselves in Art,
except one advice: Check out other people's work. Learn, get inspired, respect
youre colleages and predecessors.
If someone has no Respect... well... lets say Doctor Who and other Franchises got to feel
what it means to be taken over by those without Respect.
just downloaded and for a game that is collaborated on without communication this is very polished, I love the art especially, the music almost made me zone out in the middle of playing, Great project and i wish you all the best!
Woah, Noa, Liam and everyone else who participated in this little game challenge, that was amazing. Not only did a really good game come out of it in the end an entertaining video was made in the process. This is truly one of the most impressive things I’ve seen and I would love to see more like this. As always I’m Gamerworks, leaving my little appreciation for this awesome video
The artwork the second dev, Noa, made was amazing!
3rd guy DROPPED THE BALL, 4th guy spent all his time cleaning it up and 5/6th really made it a game lol
Game was brilliant! Thanks for adding a browser version :D
This is scarily close to my latest game jam project! altough 10000 times better since you guys actually know what you are doing compared to me 🤣
really fun concept, i hope to see more of these collabarations in the future!
Reminds me a lot of this old flash game on Kongregate. Can't remember the name, though. You were a bubble, could shoot enemies, buy upgrades, and progress through levels getting harder and harder as it went. Bosses every like 5 levels, many MANY different enemies that would feature the upgrades from the shop. It was really fun and I played and beat it a lot. I wish I could remember the name or even just play it again.
Oh, how i wished some talented, young Programmers would make
a HunterxHunter Game. Until now, no one has done real-good with this, despite the franchise being so super-popular and it’s magic-system being even more popular.
What a fun challenge! I would love to do something like this. It's kind of like the game dev version of the telephone game.
I also like the idea of taking what was obviously the intent of the other developers and completely flipping it into something else!
this reminds me to a gamejam who started me as game developer, where there was lots of developers to make a level of a game and after that all they are joined, it was AMAZING.
Awesome! It would have been cool to see the reactions of all the first 5 devs testing the final game...
Watching this collaboration was so fun. A very simple game turns into challenging and interesting.
I love this idea! This was amazing! Can you do it again? Maybe you send it to everyone 2x but in the same order.. person 1,2,3,4,5,6 and then person 1 would get it back and it goes down the line one last time. I think everyone would have more freedom while also getting the chance to focus on polishing the final product.
Very cool project and the result turned out way better than I would have ever imagined after hearing what the challenge is.
A small suggestion if you are doing a video like this again (because I think thas has the same potential for a great series like mizizizi's 4 devs jam - 1 art kit):
I'd really love see a response / reaction from each dev when they see the final result. Stuff like: "oh I'm glad you picked up on this" or "well that turned out way different than I expected".
Watching people make games knowing you'll never get to do it is awesome.
Jonas Tryoller guy did the most work IMO. Fixing the bugs is hell of a work.
I really hope this becomes a series. Amazing idea, great guests, cool game and super fun to watch! 😃👾
Adopting this idea into a wider project would be really interesting to see. I make no claims in the realm of game development, but an interesting addition to this would be basic story elements and potentially even a planet placed somewhere on the far bottom of the map. I had this vision as one of the devs was piloting the ship down the screen that there could be a flashing set of text triggered by being close to what the system could recognize as a planet, saying something like: sensors are picking up a strong gravitational reading, before the bottom of the screen is enveloped by what could definitely be a sphere if it's top was not a literal wave of blue and green. The player could pass over this zone, following into another one where the ship controls a "descent" animation that transitions the player into another map on the ground, with the ship nearby and ready to pilot. The top down view could really make for an interesting experiment in terms of how to make these transitions feel stable. Regardless of what you guys plan to do with the finished product, this was so amazing to watch and it really took my imagination out and let it roam with your guys' additions. Thank you so much for this video
5:02 "Who CAAARES AS LONG AS IT WOOOORKS" I could relate 🤣🤣🤣
Makes me think that 95% without communication might be the sweet spot. No excessive meetings and a hard cap on how much you can communicate would be an extreme teamwork method.
For small games and prototyping anyway. I suspect it would need more for bigger projects.
I'm surprised that worked out so well. Good job!
Yoooo, that was fun to see. I hope you will organize another one.
It was really fun to watch especially how each dev had their own idea of the game adding features that in a solo dev process wouldn't either come out!
This was great to watch. I remember suggesting this in another video but it was a ring of games, everyone would start one game and finish another. But I guess this is much convenient for us viewers to follow along.
I enjoyed following everyone's creative processes and loved the result.
It's very suitable for a series ;)
This was actually very satisfying to watch as a low game developer myself to witness creativty and art at its finest this was a truly amazing video and idea props to you @Blackthornprod!
Jonas makes it harder and Code Monkey has no problem with just standing still. He just has a very good gaming chair.
Awesome idea guys! Loved to watch the video!
Interesting that for each new developer the overhead of understanding the previous work got longer.
You need to give each following dev increasingly more time - to explore and find out what's already built.
E.g. +30 mins to dev 2, +45 mins to to dev 3, etc.
It makes sense because more and more content is added that requires to get familiar with.
Cool idea and realisation!
Is there a chance you would call Sebastian Lague (Coding Adventures), CodeParade, Carykh or Onigiri?
Because the idea is amazing! (Reminds me of Crusader Kings 2 playthrough where each ruler is played by different players (you die and your heir is played by another player))
I have been ushing Production Crate for YEARS NOW! I love them soooo much
