Giant Beast Academy: Game Design

Oooooh, shiny

This was an amazing feature. Alex did a great job.

This was a lot of fun to watch. Can't wait to see more.

I'd like to see this series continue but with different engines. If you can find people willing to demo different engines and different genres.

MORE OF THIS KIND OF STUFF!

What a fun video

Oh hey, what's this? I use Construct for all kinds of shenanigans! This should be interesting...

This was dope! @havochq you did amazing job!

This was a lot of fun to watch off and on, can't wait to watch it again with full attention. Major kudos to Alex for being able to make everything work on the fly.

Coolest name ever

Time to Herzog! 11:30

Thanks Alex!

Tighten up those graphics on level 4!

"I'll be the pooper".

This was awesome. Seriously one of the best things on the site in a while.

Also, I will be severely disappointed if, before this whole endeavor collapses upon itself, there isn't a feature where Werner Herzog reviews the staffs impersonations of him.

This was an awesome stream! Do have Alex Zandra on again for a part 2!

The contortions the Construct 2 commercial license has gone through have been disappointing. I bought it years ago when the only license was, "You made it, you sell it, you keep it."

I was messing around with Klik & Play in my teeeeenzzzz, man... This was shitty garbage piece of software, we've gone a long way. :)

Did they steal Jeff's card game idea?

Please, Dan, stay in New York! Dan, Vinny, and Alex make such a great team. Also, Alex Zandra is amazing and must be on again!

I saw a bit of this live, and I can't wait to watch the rest of it later. Cool idea for a feature.

Finally the long sought answer for why games ship broken....

What's it going to take to keep Giant Bomb from shipping broken games???

@chilibean_3: Fire Dan.

Chain of poos and URL Stein had me crying. Oh man!

I imagine this is what Alex looks like off-camera anytime Vinny and Dan are together.

whoa, this kind of content on a monday? :D

@rafar said:

And to think it was only a month ago people were saying how much Alex hates Dan and how things would be awful and they know all this because of ...?

I haven't watched the whole video yet but does she ever say whether she made Chariot in Construct 2? I'd be surprised if so. I always heard its even more restrictive than Game Maker as an engine. It's great to see how quick and easy it is though. They should teach this stuff to kids in school.

This is one of my favorite pieces of content GB has ever produced. Thanks, Alex and Alex and Dan and Vinny!

This is a great stream. Way more fun to watch than the title sounds, it's chaos!

What accent does Alex have?

Seriously can't wait for Steven Stoops' Jump & Dump Adventure to get on itch.io's giantromzero.

Also this stream was pretty amazing.

This was fantastic... !!

Is the volume low for anyone else? I have to increase my Windows volume setting to like 90 in order for it to be at normal level while playing a song in Foobar right now would probably make my speakers explode. It was like this on the Olympics stream as well.

Alex Sandra totally rules! Loved this video. Please have her back again soon.

@vitz: Very quiet for me too.

Holy shit this is just going to be that HOW TO MAKE VIDEO GAMES thing from that Playstation Underground demo derby stuff, but for reals.

Only half an hour in but this is awesome. And holy crap do I wanna make a game now.

Thanks for coming on Alex :)

I really hope this feature returns. It's something you rarely ever see on game sites and it's aligned with the accessibility and ease of the tools available.

legit.

Video games.

@tsang: Sounds to me like Quebecois aka French-Canadian. I believe she said she's working in Montreal now.

Alex Z reminds me of that cool teacher in elementary school who would never say no to any nonsense idea.

"I WANT TO PLAY AS POOP"

"Uh, okay, we can definitely do that"

"BUT CAN THE POOP ALSO BE A DINOSAUR?"

"..I don't see any reason why not"

"CAN WE TURN THE WHOLE LEVEL UPSIDE DOWN?"

Very interested in watching this. Have spent a lot of time in Construct 2 and have gotten good enough to make functioning games quickly.

whoa new feature

They get a new feature and immediately make green Minions.

Haven't had a chance to watch yet, but PLEASE tell me there were copious Project Wormhole references. If there weren't I will be so sad.

I really enjoyed this! thanks!

That was fun and super interesting.

Oh hey, it's @havoqhq! Awesome! :D

Aahh this is such a cool concept for a video.

Awesome awesome feature! Great on the fly programming @havoqhq! It was awesome to see the duders get a peek into the fun we have in the Giant Roms.

This is a good game.

@tsang: She's a fellow french canadian.

well my brain hurts.
