My First Game Jam - Devlog

Join me on my first game jam earlier this year. Will I actually succeed or will work and a busy schedule get to me in the end?

┈ Who is Goodgis? ┈

I’m a full time Graphic Designer, Game Dev, & Youtuber. I specialize in making cute, colorful games in Godot and telling my story through my videos. I also run my own little game studio called Firith. My dream is to hire my friends and make Firith a full-time job. I’m known for games such as The Keeyp, Wizbirds, Snomes, and Dewdrop Dynasty.

Comes up with the rules for his own game jam, then immediately tries to circumvent all of them hahaha! Another great video my dude!

Y'know, it's quite interesting, that you are a part of a studio, while many game devs on youtube are either solo or not a part of any studios anymore, perhaps you can make a video sharing some experiences while working in it?

Great video and congrats on the first game jam!

[mateuszpatua]

the editing is just pure gold 👌 and the gradual reveal of the tiles is such a spot-on concept, it gives real exploring vibes, and takes the whole design to the next level 😉 🔝🔝

[Theg]

Lmao, he really needed to find a loophole for his own game jam

[theautisticartist]

Oooo, I just had a great Idea: your a snowman, in the middle of summer. Each level you have a limited amount time before you melt. You have to traverse through the levels to get to a snow cloud. The levels show stages of the seasons starting from summer, and the end of the game is a winter level.
Thought I’d put it down because I’d probably forget later.

I love your art for this game so much. It is so simple but so pleasing.

Me: _casually watching Unity tutorials_
YouTube: *NOPE* _recommends Goodgis videos, Unity vs. Godot videos and Godot tutorials_ We learnin Godot now!

[justonyx]

Watching this while doing the Blackthronprod "Less is more" gamejam! Good luck to everyone participating

[Adrianensis]

The job you're doing is awesome! I'm also trying to make some devlogs in my channel, about my C++ 2D Game Engine, but your explanations are really complete and deep! Keep up that great job, I'm glad to learn more about the game!

[Lunarose]

Oof I think this is the year I finally do a game jame

[tommyford]

Awesome video man love the way you present videos in such a fun way

[Willty]

I live in Ohio too, and I disagree with your statement about the snow. The weather is always what is least convenient for us, not just snow.

[bitbraindev]

Hey dude, great video! Excellent quality. You just got a new follower.

[ilaytsa]

i was about to join the jam, but now i saw it's a month long, and

a. that's super scary, because a month of work on a game is supposed to be a lot better then ill ever be able to do...
b. i don't have that much time, because i need to start working on something else im doing...

well, good luck to everyone who's participating!

Nothing kills scope creep faster then a deadline and best not to be late submitting to your own jam. Maybe you can unshelf Elf game for the Winter Jam. 👍

[Skeffles]

Looks like a successful jam, although I'm not too sure if you really kept to the winter theme. Either way I enjoyed watching.

[tridra]

From what Ive known a rogue-like is a game where you lose all progress after you die and a rogue-lite is one where you can get special upgrades characters etc and keep them even if you die

[nichegames]

I still haven't done a game jam. It seems stressful. BTW I think the art was fine.

[Zweletron_Dev]

Can't wait to play DD (Dewdrop Dynasty)
