Thanks so much for saying so Astral Node! Your comment means a lot, sometimes i wonder if I'm crazy, but it's sentiments like this that make me feel as though all this work isn't a total waste. And it's so cool to know that there are in fact a few people out there that might actually enjoy my tedious dev videos! XD

Yeah I sure bit off more than I could chew. I have a website here where you can find out more about the game, and thank you so much for checking it out!: illtemperedtuna.itch.io/the-seacrit-fish-game

@@indieguy7297 I wish you continued success, my friend. I subscribed. If you make an education vlog, I will watch it myself.

@ Thanks so much! Wish I had more time and energy to devote to tutorial stuff, maybe some time in the future. I did a video way back when, it's a little cringe, but it was my first attempt at making learning content. It's on prefabs if you're interested: studio.ruclips.net/user/video44QXwF8Hxxo/edit

@@indieguy7297 Dude, I want to make a Unity game like you, can you tell me where to start as a road map?

@@osmanzaman8483 Oh gosh, it really depends on what you yourself are good at/ enjoy and the sort of games you think you would enjoy making. You REALLY gotta start small and build from there. Here are some content creators to look into: Jonas Tyroller and Thomas Brush. Give them a look, they have some great resources on getting started and following through. It's a VERY Long journey and it takes many years to get up and running. Also don't be shy about joining communities like discords for gamejams, art communities, code communities. The journey is different for everyone, so a lot of this is just figuring out what works for you! There's never been more resources out there, but it's hard to stay focused and work hard, that's what really makes the difference. Work smarter, not harder... but also harder XD

Believe it or not, I JUST started using Grok a few days ago. I use it for reference very lightly for simple stuff. I don't trust AI, and I don't trust myself not to rely on it too much so i force myself to do hard code so I can get better. If anything I could learn to use AI more to learn more standard methods but I enjoy doing things my own way.

Would love to and plan on it! But first I gotta finish the darned game XD

@@indieguy7297 hmm, Well I do understand your feeling as I am also working on my small game. it's my first game so I am way too excited! Hope you complete fast 😁 Last question for how long are you working on it?

@@YellzyPlayz-mj1vu I've been working on this longer than I care to admit, many years.

I'll look into seeing if there's a way I can listen to music without the screencap software Recording it. Otherwise RUclips copywrite strikes these videos and I can't work without music!

So glad you think so!

If you had asked me 3 years ago, I would have said I plan to have a solid demo ready in 2 weeks. And if you were to ask me the same today, I would say "I plan to have a solid demo ready in two weeks". Gamedev is crazy, but i'm proud to say that i'm wanting this game to be very good and so I take the time to put the effort in. If you want to try a very early version of the game, you can try it here: illtemperedtuna.itch.io/the-seacrit-fish-game Thanks so much for the interest, Daddy Sen157. Don't get too many visitors checkin out the project and it's much appreciated!

No rest for the wicked

@@indieguy7297 why are you calling yourself wicked?

@@EmirhanWasTaken It's just an expression. We're all people and no one's perfect! I don't get into too much trouble these days, I spend too much time working on this project ;)

You could give this video a watch: ruclips.net/video/wt2YdrUlzgg/видео.html I'm honestly not the greatest coder ever and I don't know too much about debugging either XD. if there's anything you saw in these videos you have a qeustion about i'll be more than happy to answer here though.

Thanks so much!

I barely have the energy just to work on my project! I wish I had more time to devote to tutorials. I'm honored you think this is good enough content that others could learn from it. I did do a tutorial on Prefabs some time ago and it has voice over: ruclips.net/video/44QXwF8Hxxo/видео.html

👍👍

Too true. Tryin' to strike while the iron's hot but it's easy to overdo it when a nasty bug pops up just when you're trying to wrap up work.

Thanks for poking around the edges of the internet and giving the project some of your time, it means a lot.

D@ck riding spaz

You certainly appear to be an expert in such things.

@@indieguy7297 Yes, it's very easy to spot artistic works that suck shit.

You can find the early alpha here: illtemperedtuna.itch.io/the-seacrit-fish-game You can play it on phone or PC right in the web build

Don't get many comments in these parts. Good to hear someone out there thinks there's value in this. It's a crazy world and it's hard to get eyes on your work amidst all the chaos and gatekeeping. Anyway, was just gearin' up to get back to work and saw an that someone commented on one of the videos. For some time now i've been focusing on making the game and trying not to stress about marketing, there's already enough to worry about as a solo dev. Hoping in the near future SeaCrit reaches a quality level that it's worth putting out there and maybe it starts getting more attention. Thanks for the engagement, LuciferMorningstar! TLDR I'm bustin' my arse and gettin' close to this sucker being good enough for people to take notice with some luck!

This is a long-term goal of mine. I would love to teach gamedev to the masses, and how to learn because we do such a poor job of it currently. I would suggest you get your hangs and game maker or Unity and look into how you can see sample projects and just start toying with an existing project. See if you can adjust a few things in a project that is already up and running, and also watch lots of tutorials! There are tons of fantastic resources out there, spend some time to find the best ones. I have dabbled with tutorials in the past, and it's a little cringy, but here's one I did on the prefab systems for Unity: ruclips.net/video/44QXwF8Hxxo/видео.html Anyhow, I really need to focus on wrapping up SeaCrit, if that goes well, I will have more resources that I can put into helping others learn how to make games, which is one of my ambitions for the future should things go well. Thanks for the comment and hope i can help in the future!

@@indieguy7297 that's so great to hear that you are dedicated to contributing great value to society because that's my desire too. Thank you so much bro! I will keep that in mind

@@tanhnguyen2025 100% for too long gamedev is something that's been festering in the dark. Hoping for a brighter future.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't play the game! It may have had some bit of affect on the game, but it was actually the old flash game FISHY! that had the biggest impact on this game, my oldest build of SeaCrit is actually just a FISHY! clone. The other big inspiration was Ecco the Dolphin. All manner of games I'm drawing inspiration from: Level design from excitebike, controls smoothness from Mario 64, light progression feel from DOTA. Every game I have ever played has played some small part in helping me stitch together the design of SeaCrit. If I recall correctly i think i saw a video showing fish smoothly turning in Hungry shark that made me revamp my movement system and I remember looking at videos to see how they had done their backgrounds but didn't take too many notes from it. The impact of Hungry Shark in SeaCrit is fairly minimal. Sharks are the iconic fighters of the sea, many games have sharks in them!

@@indieguy7297 Yeah man well that coding shit looks fucking mind fucked lol- Props fr bro keep on.

@@downtimeentertainmentandro4313 Ha! Yeah, it's pretty crazy and takes a real mental drain working on the project. I haven't worked with code so much so i don't know how my codebase compares to other games but it gets pretty nuts at times.

Thanks so much! It's gettin' there darn it!

Appreciate you taking the time to check it out and comment, BoredDuck

I'm really happy with the core controls, but now I have to finally finagle this all together to be a fun cohesive experience. I'm also distilling a lot of the growth mechanics and health bars into a much simpler system. Anyhow I'm just babbling! Glad you dig it! Excited to push this a bit further and then i'll push to get more people to try it. Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you! And I do, Even got them semi implemented, which I regret because at some point i'm going to have to redo the whole thing to fit the new prefab setups: ruclips.net/video/dnSkJz4lZjY/видео.html Its super rough and very early in implementation. The idea is you have your own "fish tank" and it has some light idle mechanics and you can spend a long term resource you can farm by playing the game or idling to improve your fish. It's sorta like a talent tree, but imagine if a talent tree had randomized modifiers like epic loot in diablo when you leveled it up. And if you didn't like the random talent you could cut it up into chum and feed it to your bigger and better talent skills. Buying and upgrading sharks generally makes you survive better. Buying and upgrading "Nosey Fish" gives talents that improved ranged combat. That sorta deal.

Good to hear Fahim. I'm keeping the door open for touch devices, but for now i'm focusing on mouse and gamepad devices. That said the graphics are very optimized with very low draw calls, and all the lighting is baked into the core shaders (It runs on a damned potato). So though I don't think it's quite AAA quality, i think for the resources it runs on it's doing swell. Why fish? Because sharks are friggin' awesome and easy to rig and you could feasibly play this game on anything. I would go one further and say, why would you make a game about anything BUT fish!? Easy to animate, easy to rig, low poly, no uncanny valley, an open ocean of untried gameplay possibilities. No need for a jump button, you can hyper focus on the action. All the possibility of a side scrolling shooter paired with beat 'em up elements in a setting that makes some level of sense. Also just speaking from a demographics perspective what age of person, or culture doesn't look favorably towards fish? I find it very strange there haven't been more games about fish, and what few games have been have shared a largely unreasonable amount of success.

Honored!

Glad to hear! They're a bit obnoxious hearing them 100x a day but i can't bring myself to tell them to shut up.

Thanks Mitchell, I am honored to have ya, *thumbs up*
