#ENCOUNTERED ERRORS WHILE BUILDING YOUR GAME STENCYL FULL#

Jan Willem’s approach seems best to me, a giant folder full of failed little prototypes, a folder in the back of another folder with interesting prototypes.

#ENCOUNTERED ERRORS WHILE BUILDING YOUR GAME STENCYL HOW TO#

One of the most common requests for help I get is people asking me how to deal with their ‘dream game’ failing.

He carried that process with him into Vlambeer, where we’ll often glance through a folder with hundreds of prototypes we made discussing what to focus on next. Of Jan Willem’s impressively prolific history (which includes pre-Vlambeer titles like COPTRA, 10800 Zombies, Pro Killer Man, The Gutter and Atomic Super Boss ), most of the games he made are failures only seen by a few, often only by himself. When I’m recounting Vlambeers’ history at events, I’ve often been heard saying that most of the hundreds of games Jan Willem would make were terrible. Someone would just post a message with a theme and a deadline, and dozens of little experimental games would pop up. In fact, my Vlambeer co-founder Jan Willem Nijman started most of his career at the Poppenkast, a community that would often push itself to make games with three hours or so without proper warning. People have been making games in shorter periods of time for a long time now. Gaining experience by making games in a short period of time “Game a Week” sits somewhere between the amazing #1GAM that inspired it, and game jams that tend to last 48 hours. I’ve been receiving an increasing number of requests about “Game a Week”, something I mentioned in one of the answers I gave at my ask.fm profile in the last month.
