Baby steps, dude! I still give you a lot of credit for going through with it. I'm doing a bunch of learning now with the intent of joining my first game jam soon! Keep it up!
I also find this advice to be strange. If you don't understand even the basics of coding how does someone just join a game jam and expect to accomplish anything? Wouldn't it be better to understand the basics first then go try to join a jam? Seems like it could save a lot of frustration@@xsangyhix
If it got published you wouldn't have been able to make this video, as that was the only "failure" of the project. Great concept, and well executed. I had fun :D
hello, I actually joined the gamejam as well and to be honest while it didn't go what I expected it to be it was a fun time regardless learning godot for the first time too!
Awesome! Sounds like we had a similar experience in that way! I'm glad you had fun and learned more about Godot as I did! Good luck to you in your game dev journey and thanks for the comment!
Based on the things you stated you had trouble with that you needed to fix, it seems like you're fairly new to Godot! So the fact that you were actually able to crank out this much in 8 days considering your Godot experience level is really impressive!
Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm developing games as a hobby, so it's nice to learn from others like yourself. Someday I'll try out a game jam when I feel ready.
Thanks for your comment! You definitely should do one, it helps you learn very quickly! You think you aren't ready? You could be already! Or perhaps you or both ready and not ready at the same time... At least, until you "open the box" 😜 But seriously, I encourage you to do one as soon as you can!
Thanks for the encouragement. I don't feel ready because I'm still learning and relearning godot's features. I'm also building up a dev tool library for myself. Once I have a better grasp on the engine and a well-rounded toolkit, I'll start participating in jams :)
@@sweatyeti It's always good to prepare! Just don't do what many others end up doing--prepare endlessly and never actually do anything. It sounds like you're serious though! Very exciting, best of luck to you!
I have learned way more from my mistakes than any sure bet. Keep it up, Bro! :) One thing that may help a lot is to work up a simple game design document. I have found those to be invaluable when it comes to planning and figuring out where the goal posts are so I don't miss any! :)
I appreciate the advice! I definitely have heard that before, but I thought for a small project I'd just see how it went without one... But I agree, I think it would be helpful next time!
Really cool, I also just started game dev and I'm gonna participate in the GMTK game jam as my first game jam as well. Btw I tried playing the game on itch but I couldn't get on the ship and I lost my sword when going in the dungeon
Awesome, good luck with that! It's a fun experience! Oh bummer, thank you for trying it and for letting me know! I had it working but something must have gone wrong! I'll fix it.
@@rednaxela7875 Thank you very much! I am still working on fixing the bugs, but what's strange is that it works as intended in the editor, it's just on itch where it behaves differently! Currently I published a change, the bug now is that you start with the cannon, but at least it's playable now!
Regardless, look at this experience as a W. You successfully created a "game" within x amount of hours. Use what you created and turn it into something more. The concept is pretty neat, and I enjoyed the dialog about the dev at the beginning talking to grandpa.. Only suggestion I'd have about the game itself is the ghost have no collision on the walls (which I get they're ghost) but if close to the edge of the room (and close to the next room) they just glide over.
Thanks for your comment! Even though I wanted it to go differently, I do view it at as win in the sense of gaining experience! Thanks for playing the game, that's awesome! Thank you for the suggestion--there are definitely lots of small things like that I would change if I continued making the game. For now my focus is on other things as I try to grow my channel, but I may come back to it in the future!
@@Godot-Bro Understandable, and my pleasure! You could easily make a series of "Post GameJam game" where you revisit the gamejam game(s) assuming you'd do more, and turning them into something more. Especially with it being Godot, I feel like a lot of people could easily be inspired to see devs making these quick games, into "more" etc. Regardless, you've earned my subbed and excited to see what's next.
@@EquippedPig I'll definitely keep that idea in mind! I am for sure going to do more game jams, so that might be a fun thing to do someday! Thank you, I am very glad to have you on board!
@@EquippedPig You definitely should! I obviously have only done this one, but it was enough to say that it is a great way to learn fast! Let me know if you do one and make a video about it!
That sucks bro. But, looking at the bright side, you were able to make the game you wanted, and it would've been recieved well I think, if it appeared amongst trhe submissions, look like a fun little game. You should be proud of what you accomplished, nice job!

I checked out your game! It was super cool, I love the atmosphere you created. The first time I got attacked by one of the creatures it startled me! lol Well done.
I went and checked out your game and honestly it is pretty decent for the time and experience you had going in. I am new to Godot too and very much enjoying it, I hope you continue with this idea, I think it has legs with some polish! One person I am learning a TON from is Coffee Crow here on TH-cam.
Thanks for playing it! It definitely needs some work to be a "good game" but I am very glad you liked what was there! I will check out Coffee Crow, thanks for the tip! Are you making dev logs too?
I also participated, but due to my ‘lack of common sense’, I didn’t submit on both itch and the discord. I made a roguelike but it was pretty buggy. Keep going bro
😂 Well I hope it at least gave you some experience to learn from! If it's your dream, I'd encourage you to also keep going! Mine was buggy too. Thanks!
Thanks for the vid. I cannot imagine myself entering a game jam with my current skills. Regarding your world scene being corrupted, are you using preload() by chance? I encountered that bug a week ago in a demo that I was creating and using preload was the cause. I changed it to load() and it stopped doing that.
Well if it's something you want to do someday then keep learning! It's a fun experience overall. Hmm, I think I did use preload. Interesting! Thanks for the info, though supposedly they fixed the bug in the newest version of Godot.
Thank you! Yes, I view it as a learning experience. 4.2.2! I heard the update was supposed to help, but I guess I didn't pay attention to when it was releasing! Thanks!
@@Godot-Bro 4.3 is in beta, it also has some script changes and something about tilemaps to tileMapLayers?, something to be aware of (maybe make a copy (if you're not already in git or something) of your project before trying to open it in 4.3) Usually it's best to just pick a stable version when you start a new game and just keep it in that version, unless you have a good reason to make a version switch
Were you able to figure out why your scenes became corrupted? This seems to be a GoDot 4.x issue because I’ve been having this issue consistently on a couple different projects. I found copy/pasting the file works but it was highly frustrating to do that so often. Im hoping there’s some simple reason it’s happening
Unfortunately I haven't found a cause or permanent cure, it seems to me that it's a problem with Godot itself, hence the fix in 4.3. It is terribly frustrating, I agree, and I only had to deal with it for a short time. I hope when 4.3 comes out officially, updating to that will resolve the issue. Best of luck to you, don't let that bug make you give up!
I had some experience with Unity and C#, so I wasn't starting from complete zero! GDScript in Godot is easy to learn also, and I find Godot to be very intuitive compared to Unity. This was my first project after the Brackeys tutorial!
@@Godot-Bro Did you look at other tutorials for the coding or did you just experiment yourself? Also for what you accomplished right after that tutorial is impressive! Great job!
@@camculver I watched some tutorials for a couple specific things! Like the dialogue system for example. But most of it was just experimentation and lots of lost hours of sleep... 😂 Thank you! I appreciate it!
Too be honest, it was a grind! I basically abandoned my wife (with her blessing) to spend all of my free time on this, including two all-nighters. Not a sustainable development method! I am not much of an artist yet, so for now I am just using free art packs.
You could make a great game developer. Please update the game i see it could do well and seems fun. Sell the game cheap pretty sure people will love it. :)
Thank you so much! I have big plans! This particular game isn't meant to make money, but hopefully in the near future I'll make something better that will!
@@Rex_MadeThis I think it's closed too, but I just mean how do you feel about your game? How was the experience for you? Hopefully a little better than mine! 😂
I gotta asked, what eat up most of your development time? I know it's bug-fixing and maybe thinking of the level design. But with the abundance of free assets and MIT open source Godot code to copy pasted from, I assumed it wouldn't take too much time. Especially since it looks like a clone of SNES Zelda game, no offense obviously. Just thought I might learn something when I develop in 2D. Since I've only been using Godot in 3D and making assets for it.
Thanks for the question! For me personally the most time consuming part depends on the project, but for this particular game jam it was definitely bug fixing followed by the coding. I didn't use copy-paste code so I had to figure it all out myself, with exception to some tutorials on like the UI. Maybe I should look more into that open source code! 😂 The level design would certainly take a lot more time in a different project where I actually had the time to worry about it being good, but for this game jam I just went for the first thing that I came up with so it wasn't very time consuming. I am new to Godot still, so learning what it can do is also a big factor, I haven't even touched 3D in Godot yet, which I am excited for. I learned a lot about tile maps and auto tiling for this project, which I highly recommend you check out if you're getting into 2D. Check out the channel Coding Quests, they just uploaded a short video on auto tiling like 12 hours ago.
Hopefully only in a couple weeks! It still takes me a long time to make them, but I hope to get faster as I learn more! I've already started working on something!
Good job I also started soon if you wanna make some project together let me know (giving me a comment saying it) I’m programmer I program in GDScript and C# 😄
Really glad this popped into my recommended feed. You made something playable AND were pretty ambitious for the scope of a game jam?? That's a success in my book. Looking forward to what you make next
Thank you very much, I appreciate the encouragement! Good luck with your first Godot game! Let me know if you make any videos on it and I'll check it out!
you did not fail. You released a small project. you learned more about programming in Godot, and by the sounds of it you had fun. That makes you a winner in my book. Cool game btw. looks fun
I'm stuck in the loop, and I couldnot to finish my game jam, too. Having a full-time job sucks-I only get a few hours each day to work on the game, and then my brain decides it's nap time. It's like an unbreakable curse!
I definitely understand! It's rough for sure. But we know the only way we'll ever succeed and fulfill our dreams is to pursue our desired outcome with an intense dedication. It will never be easy, but we can do it. I believe in you dude, just imagine what you want, and think of a plan on how you can reach that goal within 5 years, then execute.
All experience is valuable, even the bad one. In this case the game itself is done, so I'd say it's a good one. (sometimes you make game with random people, and it may go wrong)
I had a similar issue happen with the O2A2 Jam recently, it was my first Itch upload too and I did the exact same thing. Published draft and realized my mistake later Still proud and pleased I finished it! Being part of the jam is not what mattered to me, completing it was
Started Godot recently and what you made was really impressive! I know there was stuff you weren't satisfied with, but I'd be pretty dang proud to have made that in a short amount of time
As a beginner godot dev who is also making my first game ever, i salute you my guy! That's a very impressive work, hope you can improve your skills even more and create even better games!
@@Godot-Bro thanks! Even though i dont plan making any videos, maybe some time in the future when i release my game i could share it with you as well :P
This video popped up in my recommended at just the right time! I'm also prepping for my first game jam which has the deadline in a few days, so the draft by default visibility is good to know. Your game looks really cool, I'll definitely check it out - and having made it in just 10 days is quite impressive - looking forward to your future videos!
Hey thanks for your comment! I'm glad my video might have helped you with your first game jam! Good luck, I'd like to see your finished product! Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! It's been a while but I am actively working on my next video!
Damn, I just published my own experience with this gamejam and got this video recommended. Your game looks really fun, it sucks that you couldn't share it in time, but from here it can only get even better! Also I completely get your struggle with video editing, I'm more of a gamedev than a youtuber as well
I'll have to check out your video! Thanks! Yeah it was a bummer, but I agree, it can only get better! Yeah, but I'll also get better at making videos. The more I do it the easier it should get!
@@Godot-Bro I'd love if you could contact me so we could discuss more! I tried emailing and other means of contacting you but they seem to have failed

Devastating... 😭😭I played the game, it was good! Pretty ambitious for a game jam project, well done!
Thank you! I appreciate it. I'll probably cut back on the scope for my next game jam... 🤣
you did not fail.
You released a small project. you learned more about programming in Godot, and by the sounds of it you had fun. That makes you a winner in my book. Cool game btw. looks fun
@@Crits-Crafts You're right! Even though I didn't succeed in the way I wanted to, I did have fun and I learned a lot! Thanks for the kind comment!
I'm stuck in the loop, and I couldnot to finish my game jam, too. Having a full-time job sucks-I only get a few hours each day to work on the game, and then my brain decides it's nap time. It's like an unbreakable curse!
I definitely understand! It's rough for sure. But we know the only way we'll ever succeed and fulfill our dreams is to pursue our desired outcome with an intense dedication. It will never be easy, but we can do it. I believe in you dude, just imagine what you want, and think of a plan on how you can reach that goal within 5 years, then execute.
All experience is valuable, even the bad one. In this case the game itself is done, so I'd say it's a good one. (sometimes you make game with random people, and it may go wrong)
I agree! Even though it didn't go to plan, it was not a waste of time. Thanks for the comment!
I had a similar issue happen with the O2A2 Jam recently, it was my first Itch upload too and I did the exact same thing. Published draft and realized my mistake later
Still proud and pleased I finished it! Being part of the jam is not what mattered to me, completing it was
Great work! Glad we both got to at least finish a game jam. Next time we'll know better!
I know the feeling. I joined the last Pirate Software Jam, and didn't finish in time either. I liked your game, though!
I'm sorry to hear that, next time for sure! Thank you, I appreciate it!
This made me want to do another game jam
Awesome! Do it!
Yeah, scope creep be like that... But amazing job on following through to get your game out!
@@themaydayman So I have learned! Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
Subscribed because I might possibly make that same mistake when I join my first game jam in July or August.
Well hopefully now you won! 😂 Thank you! I appreciate it. Good luck on your first jam! Let me know if you make a video about it!
Started Godot recently and what you made was really impressive! I know there was stuff you weren't satisfied with, but I'd be pretty dang proud to have made that in a short amount of time
Thank you! I really appreciate that. Good luck to you on your Godot journey!
there's no such thing as failing when trying to perfect a craft!
When you're right, you're right! I learned, so overall it can be called a success! Thanks for the comment!
This was also our team's first jam.. we had similar results hahahah
Sorry to hear that! Surely our next jams will go a bit better!
Thank you for inspring me.
I wanna be in game jam oneday.
I am honored to have inspired you! You absolutely should do it! Thanks for watching!
As a beginner godot dev who is also making my first game ever, i salute you my guy! That's a very impressive work, hope you can improve your skills even more and create even better games!
Thank you! That's very kind. I definitely will improve! Good luck to you as well! Let me know if you ever post a video--I'll check it out!
@@Godot-Bro thanks! Even though i dont plan making any videos, maybe some time in the future when i release my game i could share it with you as well :P
Keep it up bro, hope you keep making videos
Thanks! I definitely will! Slowly but surely.
It's very nice for the first game jam project! I definitely won't make it better. Great job!
Thank you! You don't know until you try!
@@Godot-Bro Yep, you're right. I should try myself in some game jam
This video popped up in my recommended at just the right time! I'm also prepping for my first game jam which has the deadline in a few days, so the draft by default visibility is good to know. Your game looks really cool, I'll definitely check it out - and having made it in just 10 days is quite impressive - looking forward to your future videos!
Hey thanks for your comment! I'm glad my video might have helped you with your first game jam! Good luck, I'd like to see your finished product!
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! It's been a while but I am actively working on my next video!
There is no failure
You're right! I didn't meet my desired outcome, but it wasn't a failure either. Thanks for watching!
video is too good !
Thank you! I really appreciate the compliment!
Damn, I just published my own experience with this gamejam and got this video recommended. Your game looks really fun, it sucks that you couldn't share it in time, but from here it can only get even better! Also I completely get your struggle with video editing, I'm more of a gamedev than a youtuber as well
I'll have to check out your video! Thanks! Yeah it was a bummer, but I agree, it can only get better!
Yeah, but I'll also get better at making videos. The more I do it the easier it should get!
Thanks for sharing your process. Keep it up !
Thank you! I will!
300! Sub
@@Histroyguy Thanks for being my 300th! I hope you stick around for what's to come! It'll be fun.
Better luck next time!
Thanks! I have learned so I think next time will go more smoothly.
Where is the next video?
Working on it now!
@@Godot-Bro I'd love if you could contact me so we could discuss more! I tried emailing and other means of contacting you but they seem to have failed
I'd love to colab sometime!
i failed five six and more
Did you learn? If so, then you did not fail. :)
I agree with you on that! I learned a lot!
Totally agree
