I joined the GMTK 2023 Game Jam to make a game about a spider being chased by a vacuum, and it did not go super well. Here's how the game was made, and how it evolved after the jam.
Arachnarun
made with:
Blender,
Asperite,
Godot,
Photopea,
Paint,
Tux Paint,
Textures.com,
PureRef,
Freesound,
OpenGameArt,
Audacity

Honestly the game jam game not turning out well wasn’t your fault at all. 48 hour jams have always felt like a way to normalize crunch in a “fun” way and it’s the main reason I only join the ones that span a couple of days.
I’m excited to try the game out! Mario Party DS was one if my favorite DS games growing up.
That's an excellent point.
I love 48 hour game jams because I usually don't have to schedule time off of work to participate and it teaches you planning and workflow skills
I'd love to do a 48 hour game jam but I work 12 hour days on the weekends :'0 so the longer jams it is
9:00 People say you shouldn't make the game you want but make a smaller simpler version of it. What you did was make the absolute bare minimum, then when the game was done, you made it a little better, then a little longer, then again and again and again; eventually leading to what you originally wanted to make. Making the game you want is overwhelming but sometimes even a smaller version can be just as overwhelming; making the game at a bare minimum and then improving it is such a better way to look at projects and is something i wish i did when i started my project. I knew i couldnt make this open world game with a dozen biomes and creatures, so i settled on a small island with a couple biomes and animals in each. Looking back i should of made a single area with one biome and one animal, then slowly expand that. Instead i became overwhelmed and now rarely work on it, what you did during the gamejam week is what i do all the time; speaking of, i need to get back to work... eh maybe after a few more youtube videos.
I played your game, you were the first dev i looked up
My game was platform puppeteer if you happened to stumble upon it
I like that you didn't compromise spider nature by decreasing number of eyes to make it more sympathetic and instead stylized actual eyes to achieve same effect
Remember, making games its not about "how good of a game you can make"
But about how much you learn when making them
yeah, too much of a stretch, it really doesn't make much sense.
@@wertyxq3468 ok look at it this way:
"Don't just rush to learn how to code to make you dreams game, cause most of the times it's not gonna work. Instead make games and experiment to learn how to code"
@@wertyxq3468 Makes sense to me
But if you make a better game you can learn more
@@loogi_is_die in a way, that could be true, but it's also very short-sighted. The goal isn't to make the best game of all time, but rather to make something, learn from it, and have the next thing you make be even better. The ultimate intention is growth! :D
Love spiders, love games about spiders. This is a gem right here :)
Love me some web puppies❤
@@solsystem1342bro I’ve got to start using that
I hate spiders, and live games. Still definitely gonna play this.
spiders are the best
Snakes are better, prove me wrong
The whole "getting hunted through a living room"-theme gives me flashbacks to the Tom and Jerry Tales game on the DS. The game is very similar to how this turned out and it's awesome tbh.
I'm so impressed by this! You've definitely taken a leap in your game development abilities. Not only is it a typical LazyAlarm video (bug-themed characters, running out of time during development, aiming to replicate something then going off the rails with creative ideas), it's your best one yet! Super excited to see what comes next. :)
“But was it worth doing myself? No!”
Subbed
Hobbyist here, love the story
Have you looked in the doc about adding _col at the end of the model and when it is imported it should add collision it may be the file name - I think you can also chnage the type of node it used in the import tab.
A masterpiece of a video - as always
the "angry birds, but you build the houses" idea actually seems like a cool concept.
I really do think, if you carry this game on, it could be an amazing Online racing game.
I love how you put “in Godot” in the title
Nice, love getting a new video after deciding to subscribe a few days ago and finished watching most of your videos. Nice work!
At first I thought this game was kill it with fire Because the art style is amazing!
The fist few seconds I saw this game, I was gonna mention Mario Party DS' Dust Buddies but then you brought it up anyway.
I am still learning to develop in Godot as well, so this is super inspiring!
Great video, the game looks really fun, I'm gonna give it a try
wow, what a rollercoaster! great job keeping working on the game, it's certainly easy to give up when it gets hard
i love it, this such a cool idea and a good execution!
Ah, yes. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs reference. Love it.
Actually an amazing idea and taking inspiration of the Mario party game is funny as! Good work
Great video, I hope the fulltime youtube thing is going well. I take a lot of inspiration from channels like yours :)
There's a spider living in a web in my room rn(Possible Arachnarun reference???)
relatable asf, great video!
You make some great stuff, very cool
You're back!! 🎉
So cool!
I'd say it was worth it 🙏
Im not sure if you know this, but you can make a collision shape for a mesh wayy quicker then by blocking it out by clicking the mesh button on the upper bar and clicking create trimesh collision shape. Its really useful
You should have at least 100k subs. This is a really high-quality vid!
Ayyyyyyy hes BACKKK BABY!!!!! I’m still grinding for sub 57 in TTT btw YEAHHH
This one is really good. I love the graphics. Although I could use a bit more speed on that spider. I only got past the blocks one time in 30 runs, and promptly got trapped in a bag of chips.
Very nice.
I did something similar this year, I did an auto-scrolling 2D game where you play a swordfish fighting off divers, fishermen, and ocean garbage.
Oh, you bet I'm gonna play this! Games like that are my jam!
When you explained the premise of the game the first thing I thought of was dust buddies, love to see the Mario party ds rep that game was my childhood
the tux paint Buh duh beehh was literally SO NOSTALIGIC AAAA
this is truly a piece of art
I'm mostly just so proud of you for making the spider anatomically correct ❤
Worth it.
As long as you learned something, then absolutely worth it.
we need part 2 for the modding series, idk but that was really simple but i've watched it like 3 times lol!
6:44 * nostalgia hits *
Well done hero!
This godot engine is something else
Making games is sooo easy with this 👌👌🔥🔥
Tux Paint brings back so many memories
neat well done
you made a proper game and that's what we really want.
Dust buddies is actually my favorite mario party mini game
Lazy alarm I love your videos and your games, Greetings from Argentina
this is a very creative idea
Cool game. Love it
You cant go wrong without the bouncing dvd video 😆
OMG I wanted to make a game with playable spiders tooooo! :D
it looks like a GameCube/DS game, i like it!
i literally said “like dust buddies from mario party” before clicking on this. dust buddies was my favorite mini game
I think this game would be perfect for mobile. You should put it there!
Cell machine: You better get a community… this game bettter have an alive community like us… pls, we need an opponent
How did I miss this upload 😭😭
Finally its Lazy Alarm’s return
taking the time you need and having it be more time than you intended is no shame. We all work at a different pace and some people work slower. So long as you get the smallest steps done, you're making progress. And you might not be lazy, I know from experience that this sounds a lot like adhd. But also look up quality of life improvements to your workflow like auto importing blender to godot and clicking the Mesh button in the top middle to add simplified collision
I always love customisability in games. Being able to choose different color combinations ie species for the spider and maybe including risk-reward with slightly risky escape routes to pick up hats and other cosmetics would be lovely.
A 2ND PERSON GAME?!?!? thats sick as hell dude!
Take youre Time a Masterpiece cant be rushd
That Mario mini game threw me back in time
This video is super valueable, your take on the how to manage your mental state when making games is really useful to me, thank you
Hell yeah
This kind of reminds me of the opposite of kill it with fire
“And more bugs of course”
What do you mean? I only see one…
XD
Yeah!! He has returned!!!
Wow very well done
Now that you finally finished the game you can sleep for a week well done
Omg I remember tux paint, it was the best
THE DVD TOUCHED THE CORNER!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!
Hi Lazy Alarm
How do you make that speech wave
I never knew a game where you play as spider will be good
you have the same PC case as me, nice
this is basically just a pc version of subway surfer game
Yay, I like spiders! Is it on app-store?
TOTALY WORTH IT
Finally someone makes a game about spiders
Ok yeah, I like this
Now imagine an MMO where all the players are spiders making webs. :3c
I always do this for my projects, I think of something totally awesome and work for a ridiculous amount of time trying to get there.. just to realize that I aimed way too high and now I'm bored, NEXT PROJECT!!
12:00 may i ask what software allow you to do this ?
I think it was worth it... even if I have not played this game before.
6:16 Table chair toilet sink FORTNITE spoon eggs
As a spider, I can confirm this is how we act.
It's not bad it's really really good
finally a good spider game
When i saw this game it felt like the spiders soul was coming inside me
6:27 😂😂
Thank you for using godot
When i saw the title i was like, well that's not really a crazy idea, then i saw your nickname and i was like OK thats funny.
I fucking love that name
> Was it worth doing it myself? No! But I still learned a lot.
Then it was worth doing! Learning is so, so valuable. You can't download knowledge off the asset store.
Whats the name of the game and can it support mobile or is it pc on steam
Lol who would put a hoover on their table XD 2:20
1:22 …so one of the ways to create sprites in scratch?
so this is what antman feels like
11:32 it has more bugs, like a spider for example 😀
*sees a spider* oh a spider, *the spider starts doing parkour* what the fu-
