7h ago? Damn you were early(by the time im writing this it has been like 5 mins since the video was... released?)
This doesn't seem like a bad game just a troll game.
Ideas for making the game even worse:
1. Unusual controls. For example, use GCVB to move the character instead of using WASD
2.Making a level that requires using new game mechanics without any tutorial at all
3. Add annoying background music that loops forever
4. Add a fake multiplayer gamemode that does nothing
5. Sudden drop of frame rate for no reason
6. Random pop-up ads
7. Rick roll the players
Music that is way too loud with no way to turn it down
He should make I unbearably long only repeating the first two levels
Yes!
Music randomly turns off for a few seconds, restarts the loop, starts playing over itself, and enormously increases gain every once in a while. Which one of these effects occur is random.
Make it microtransactions based, so not only do you have a bad game, but you get paid for it
I'll be honest this feels more like a rage game than a bad game
What’s the difference
@@pixeldoesart1864 In a rage game all the mechanics are placed there to annoy the player, in a bad game they're usually a byproduct of the dev not caring enough to play test there game. A rage game is effectively a boss battle as a video game, you play it figure out the patterns and beat it through patience. Truth be told I think its impossible to set out to make a bad game, as a bad games usually turn out that way due to lack of passion for the project which isn't exactly something you can fake. I think if you did want to set out to make a bad game you'd probably want to put no effort into user friendliness and fill it with mechanics that don't work well/fit logically together.
@@Brizzle427 I was being sarcastic
@@Brizzle427 Yes the worst games are just asset flips. Like download a unity first person shooter base, throw in other things you want that other people have made, do not do any coding whatsoever to fix things that don't combine well, put in zero effort to be creative. That's a bad game to me.
I'd say making a bad game on purpose is pretty hard if not impossible, you'd most likely end up making a rage game
A lag in button presses could also make it worse. Maybe a lag only for going left and jumping
i was also thinking something similar. having the game run at 10 fps and have an input delay.
@Пётр Бойков this is evil…I love it
@Пётр Бойков yeah and a 1% chance everytime that you press a button that it will just kill you
@@vincentweatherly9991 good idea i thought too
@Пётр Бойков good idea
There are a few obvious omissions which could have made your game a lot worse.
* Story: a terrible, unskippable story is always worse than no story.
* Death: overly drawn-out unskippable death sequences with audio that genuinely hurts to listen to is always worse than a simple 'restart the level'
* Loading screens: overly long, slow loading screens are a surefire way to ensure player frustration (especially if it's a fake loading screen which takes an inconsistent length of time and the progress bar (if present) is entirely inaccurate)
* Visuals: needs to clash more. Needs a mishmash of premade assets and garish poorly drawn assets. Simple squares run the risk of looking tasteful.
* Controls: randomly rebind them during gameplay, without the player having any clue about what button they now need to press.
* Viewport scrolling: don't scroll with the player. Either don't scroll it at all, or scroll it such that it's rather delayed (player already offscreen) before overshooting (too far forward), or scroll it at random intervals, or keep constantly shaking it in random directions during gameplay to give the player motion sickness.
* Closing the game: no escape button. The only escape the player has is by forcibly closing the game via task manager.
* Audio (in general): needs to be incredibly obnoxious. Fingers scraping down blackboard accompanied by a choir of screaming babies. volume fluctuating randomly between very very quiet and incredibly loud. If you can handle more than 2 seconds of the audio, it's not bad enough. And don't forget obnoxious sound effects for everything in the level.
* The Coins: okay so have you ever seen Sheriff Domestic? If yes, you can probably guess what I'm about to suggest. If not: pause the game, have an obnoxious 'you got a coin' fanfare thing appear, and then resume the game after the player sits through that (and doing it all over again for the next coin!)
Agree everything except controls, but then thought could work if you had a 'double tap a key to rebind' function and the interval for what counts as a rebind changes every few seconds until it inevitably catches you out and the WASD turns into DXCV because you double tapped D. Like it's a useful function if it didn't have such potential to screw you over. Or just make any 2 presses of the same key in a row count as a double tap. Player could work around that but it would be annoying!
Also the coins thing I've played the sonic mod similar where it freezes the screen when you collect a ring to play I think the life up sound as many times as you now have rings. It reaches unplayable very fast!
@@kailomonkey the sonic hack is called omochao for sonic 1
@@thebeast5636 Ah yes that's the one. Based on the ever helpful Omochao telling you about rings :D
@@kailomonkey I guess the issue with 'double-tap a key to rebind' would be getting the player to tap the other key in the first place. Of course, swapping around the existing bindings will potentially cause some intended player frustration and might make it playable using a controller, but having the possibility of the inputs being rebound to a button which isn't in use strikes me as having much more potential to frustrate the player.
@@ParasocialCatgirl Agree. My vision was you'd be pressing right and you accidentally press it twice in a row, and it rebinds that key to up and moves all the other keys to the ones below it. It's not as annoying as it could be but as you say, getting other keys double clicked is an issue with the idea. I think it can work fine with joypads too. Admittedly the idea would take an actual lot of work to define where the other keys would go in relation to the one you accidentally rebind to up. On a gamepad it could rotate the dpad perhaps.
The main difference between how the 'bad game' was made and how I think it could be more authentically bad rather than a rage game, is that this onw is programmed badness. Whereas I think games can be bad due to programming good things that don't combine well and never get addressed or even considered or even tested!
you failed! why? you made the enemy red! thats too good game design!! you should take inspiration from this one flash game i played a while ago, where you were skydiving and had to dodge things. what did you have to dodge? planes? birds? no! clouds of course! there was literally zero visual indicator that would make your brain think thats what youre supposed to do. amazingly terrible game design.
xd
Imo Instead of making the enemy blank red, he should've just copy pasted an enemy image from Google

The worst game ever isn't just a game that you can't... play ?
So technically to make the worst game ever you could've just put a black screen and tadam !
In high school a few friends and I pranked a dude who was quite obnoxious about being a tech expert and "real gamer" by making up a fake game called "Temple Rumours". We asked him if he had heard of it and he pretended he had. He spent a few days thinking the game was real and trying to get his hands on it. In the end one of us even made a fake hard copy with boxart and everything, but when the disc was inserted the message "pwned" (it was the 2000s ok?) popped up.
So going by your standards Temple Rumours probably is the worst game ever.
but that's not a game, is it?
@@allanhedlund8007 ...
Hum....

Hmm....
The weather is pretty good today, isn't it ?
Technically, yes
Make a good video, no
@@pyroraptor131 Yup lol
I can make an even worse game without trying to make the worst game. That's my fricking talent
At least you can make a game
Have you published any?
@@mjasterix1667 with today's tools even an ape like me can make a game
@@kailomonkey yea, only one
@@mjasterix1667 lmao
You forgot one pronciple : less is more, or in that case, more is less. You can make your game even crappier by *adding* poorly made details
This is not a "bad game", it's just a troll game like Kaizo Mario tbh.
A bad game should be consistent with its features but frustrating. I even can imagine The Last Of Us to be more frustrating than your game if the Devs would've just cut the entire game in the middle of the story, or if Tetris had blocks that do not fit, or a Simulation Game that starts with everything unlocked but you lose progress with every levelup, or just beeing super slow in a shooter.
Still, good video. :)
I love how when you're walking, you're on the extreme side of the screen where you want to go, making it impossible to know what's next, and only makes you see the parts you already passed through, which is useless. Very bad game 10/10.
This is no where near terrible enough. Every part of this game could be made worse.
Movement: Have noticeable 1 second delay between giving an input and it being acted on. Have small platforms that require precise controls, yet your player character is really slippery on top of them sometimes just not moving.
Story:What's worse than no story? Having a story with wasted potential. Make an opening cutscene with a really cool story premise. Then never deliver on it. Or recon it in the most disappointing way possible once you beat the first level like that entire starting sequence was just a dream and now your going to school, then just stop having a story. Make sure the opening with significantly better graphics than the rest of the game, unskippable, and with a really slow text speed, with walls of text.
Graphics: There's one major problem with your graphics. They aren't painful to look at. Make the graphics visually painful to look at. Be sure to have a bunch of background elements than blend in with the middle ground elements so you can't tell what's what. Make sure the player and enemies blend in with the background. If you aren't making Top Banana look like a masterpiece, your graphics aren't bad enough yet.
Level design: Here's one neat trick to make terrible level design, don't. Start with a minute long walk on a plane of nothing, and make a really difficult and precise platforming section at the end. But other than that just make whatever seems cool at the time, and don't playtest or think too hard about it. In fact just add in a bunch of mechanics and never playtest them. If the game doesn't crash your good.
Other: When you die have a long death jingle followed by it kicking you back to the menu screen. Where you have to watch the opening cutscene again. Have really long loading times for no reason. Make the music a loop of a sirren, then have an enemy that you have to listen for to dodge. Have all the sounds in the first level way louder than anything else in the game.
So Basically take all the bad stuff from sonic 06 and add them?
@@jackatjack2886 Pretty much, except you've got to be careful with what glitches you leave in the game. If you leave in too many glitches that are interesting or fun, you might accidentally let a few people enjoy your game through the coolness of the glitches alone.
That's what I'm talking about. Here's a guy that knows what a bad game is.
Gravity is for good games. The jump should make you go up at a steady rate then fall at the same rate. Ever played a scratch platformer? Things can get a lot worse.
*Flashbacks of messing with Scratch when I was in 4th grade having no clue what I was doing*
This knows how to get a sponsor. He litteraly explained why you should get throughout the half video without stopping making the actual video
RIP the people that skipped the sponsor.
You should make a game with too many controls like breathing and making your heart beat to survive.
Edit: you should also add a feature where you can randomly die of a brain aneurysm
Manual Samuel?
😂😂😂
sorry homie Battlefield was already on the 'making a worst game every gen' meta
wrong. u forgot CP2077. well. even tho it was buggy asf i still liked it
You should have added a sound option that didnt work, and a graphics option that would make the screen 10 different color blocks, optimize the game horribly, and have some of the coins reset the coin count, also you have to pay 15 cents for 10 seconds of game play
A few suggestions to make it even worse:
Make it so that the jump height and speed changes randomly occasionally
Make a terrible annoying five second music loop throughout the entire thing
have the very rare audio sometimes glitch out too in a multitude of ways like loudness, compression, etc
Give the background and ground graphics worse quality by compressing them too
Make the main characters arms and eyes misaligned with each other by just a few pixels, and well as the options on the main menu
Use completely different terrible fonts for the main menu too
And just have the player die randomly at times for no other reason
I think he already has 'player die randomly' covered. Could have an arbitrary hidden timer that starts at a randomised time though, with a time out message. Also send to the main menu when this happens or on other deaths because a level resetting quickly actually makes any platformer accessible to keep retrying. Make the menu have annoying options to go through to even start the game. If you have a save system sending you straight to the level you've reached, have it clear your save and start from scratch if you click through the menues too fast.
It's amazing how this is constructive criticism in the context
Epik video dude keep up the Awesome work
how to make the worst game ever....
take everything good; from every game you've ever played, mash them together with no rime or reason.
release a part done, but functioning version to a bunch of youtubers to get excited about and begin to promote
add one update that adds a ton of bugs, glitches and bad code, conflicting systems.
put it on steam with the promise of fixing said game...
then completely abandon the community with an 'I fixed it all up, don't worry, will be in unstable branch next week'
but you will never release another update to any branch....
You will carry on collecting the over priced amount you put on the game....
you don't need to understand how to make a good game to make a bad one...
every game is an experience. just give a bad experience
I once made a platformer where jumping against a block to the left would launch you in the air because of weird collision detection. I probably chose precise collision detection and the sprite jumped multiple times in a row. And at the end you'd get in a rocket and it fell through the ground because of a double negative vertical speed.
Thanks for the Milanote! I'm using it to organize my game project and its helping get everything straightened out. =)
Checkmate!
You delivered exactly what you set out to make, meaning you satisfied the expectations you set for yourself and your viewers, thus paradoxically making a good game out of a bad one.
the character looks too cute. To make it even worse, the face should be badly drawn in paint. Also make the hitbox a different size than the sprite
The character sprite should just be a poorly trimmed jpg of a selfie.
For the coins, you could also require the player to pick up a specific amount to complete the level, so they can't just avoid them
I actually need to thank you for putting the app in the app un the description I needed it
The fact that you had to use the enemy to pass the level is actually really cool and unique, sad that it had to be used in the worst game ever but hey, you gotta madden someone somehow
The effort that you have put into it, makes it a good game :)
1- Make it so the camera wont follow the character. Instead, there should be keys to move the scene. That'd be horrible.
2- Add a game music which wont loop. Plays once and stops for rest of the game.
3- Add stutters when the character just about to do a critical and hard jump.
Idea : Every second, the game has a 1% chance of randomly “crashing” and your entire progress is reset. Even if you are in level 2, you go all the way back to the start of level 1! This would make the game 10 times worse lol
Milanoye is abselutely fantastic, thank you for it gamedev and thank you milanote for sponsoring him
I think there is atleast one more thing to do to make the chareter design even worse you need to add parts to it that don't even affect the game and all sorts of bad colors randomly put on it.
I like Milanote, but it doesn't have flowcharts ._. - I wish it was made more for programming
badgamedev: *uploads this vid*
my games: look what he needs to mimic a fraction of our power!
One more idea for the coins. Have the counter start at 26 and then count down for no clear reason. Have the coin counter remain through death or beating levels. If the counter reaches 0 and you collect another coin, the game crashes due to lack of code to handle overflowing/underflowing for the counter. It'll be like it was never expected to drop below zero, but the code is so broken that it inevitably does anyway.
A 'BadGameDev' making a badly developed game? Nice.
Bro these need to be made in Unity so I can mess around with the source codes lol
fr
This is one of my favorite videos that you've done.
You should do more Fivor video's, I know they can be expensive to make, but it's always fascinating to see different versions of games depending on the fivor dev.
Great Video! but it looks like you failed in making the worst game Ever! since any game made by me is 10X more bad...
Noice! Almost at 2k!
planning? i just play the final product in my head and see what it's not made yet
Love your vids
I feel the worst game ever wouldn't even have a main menu :D Just straight into the action and have an enemy charge you right away.
Excellent job on the bad camera placement, too. The player is always on the right side of the screen
Props for actually using the sponsor in the video to show off the good parts of it instead of relegating it to a random small part of the video
He basically did this with Fiverr sponsor too.
Idea: Every time you *die* you have to *restart* the game and if you *fall* into the void *your stuck there* (you don‘t die)
Wow! You're Really Living Up To Your Channel Name! 👏 :D
I feel like every time I watch a badgamedev video, I get progressively more and more frustrated and I don’t know why
idea: a very long level with nothing but almost invisible and tiny platforms over a softlock
Time to speedrun this
you could also have a really long loading screen at the start
“man i sure wish i could find the worst game in existence”
helltaker:
you forgot the a feature in your worst game;
a working store with items that dont work and cost excessive amounts of money
I was half expecting the jump physics to be janky in odd places to make jumps miserable.
Where are the microtransactions and the always online drm?
These are must haves for the worst game ever!
He’s finally back!!!!
Imagine if this game had difficulty options; where easy is playable but with bad features, medium is sometimes playable and sometimes not, and hard being barely playable due to the intentional buggy mess and more bad stuff keep appearing out of nowhere; like that falling thru the ground and teleporting back to start for no reason.
Add intentional lag and reverse options so when you change the controls, it changes to another random key
maybe make it so there’s a lag ish thing, sometimes you’ll just teleport back for literally no reason, usually it will teleport you into an enemy
I just realized how short most video game characters are
"im gonna hop on game maker"
Ad in 1..
"DO YOU MY DEAR VIEWER HAVE AN INSTREST IN MAKING VIDEO GAMES-"
Ideas: give the controls a half second delay, add 5 second-long background music, and a 10 second black screen every time you die.
An ad pops up after ever jump.
Cloud should strike you down occasionally, it doesnt even have to be animated, you'd just randomly restart
“I made the worst game ever”
Me who doesn’t even know how to code: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you
The description of the plan for the game sounds like someone describing Cyberpunk 2077.
the worst game has ads every time you win, fail, do something, just makes it unplayable
Random crashes could also make it worse, ex: no level restart, the game just crashes or freezes
You should make a story game exactly like that but then the character glitched into a new game that looks better and it repeats until the character feels uncomfortable and then glitched again into a source code and after that the character moved into a phone (add a puzzle if you want) and then another character appears and make two of them confused and then they tried to solve a puzzle to go back to their own games while fake ads keep appearing to show a clue to solve the puzzle to end the game
Fall through random mesh layers lol
My worst game would be a taxi hailing simulator where you have to hail a taxi but most of the time they pass you, you have 1 frame to succeed. If you do you have to take the taxi to your pregnant wife in the hospital but there's tons of traffic and the taxi driver recites the entire bee movie script with no punctuation, and when you get there he drops you off before you realize you forgot something so you have to repeat the process to get back to where you started, then you navigate your house to figure out what you forgot but I don't give you any hints, then you have to do the taxi thing one more time to finish the game
Make the other buttons that aren't controlling the player increase lag
And make it a circle so it slides off if you aren't perfect
You could make some puzzles with hiddens papers randomly placed having a 10.000 words hint to solve the puzzle
You should make this a devlog
Can't wait for this to become a cult classic rage game.
Even Bad Game need a Good Planning.
Man you should do the bad from the start, thinking it's bad 😔
I suggest making it worse by adding the credits to the starting screen, but it can't be clicked on and jumps away to a random spot when you try to click on it.
tbh meme earrape sound is FAR worse than having no sound.
When you said you made the worst game ever I was expecting you to make a 1:1 copy of literally any Ubisoft game.
Finally, a record I can beat with my eyes closed
"Instead of coping with your non existent skill, just accept it" -me 5 minutes ago
This could be a new rage game
The poor main character looks like he’s trying he’s best while stuck in an eternal hell
this looks like my beginner scratch games
Glad I stayed subbed to you.
This is more a rage/tricky game than a bad game itself
This needs to be speedrunned
I can’t do myself because idk how to code but add a chance to make the player do a random action
THE SPIKE SPRITES ARE LITERALLY THE ONES USED IN THE 2.2 SNEEK PEEK
this feels more like a troll game rather than a bad game.
you shouldve made a walk and idle animation but the animations are switched
*"We need a Good Plan for this"* More Like : *"We need a Bad Plan for this"*
I make bad games every project, and entirely accidentally.
"Mission failed succesfully"
Its so weird how he made so many games but his skills hasnt increased but instead decreased
Reminds me of a puzzle game.
"The game was coming along absolutely terribly, so things were looking good."
1. mobile touch controls that you have to operate with a mouse
2. it's also inverted
3. the jump button is as far away from the movement circle as possible
4. the movement circle is actually a square
5. when you move your character then stop moving, the circle doesn't go back in the middle, so you've got to drag it around the screen to move
