Actually my question would be how do you prioritize all these tasks? Bc it feels quite overwhelming to me now that I have all these tasks and areas laid out
Hey Jaime, what are the odds of an outsider getting into this industry these days? Call me a half degreed lifelong enthusiast self taught game theory basics and an avid TTRPG amateur developer. Regards from the Yukon.
Just discovered your channel - as a bit of a project management nut, I really loved how streamlined and simplified your workflow is. It makes getting the work done so much easier when you aren't spending all of your time working on your todos and all that, lol. Subscribed!
came here to comment the same. i'm a motion graphic designer and never even occurred to me to use a tool like this, just so used to doing it by hand. genuinely thank you so much for posting this.
Great insights on your game development workflow! Really appreciate the detailed explanation of how you use mind maps for task management and the efficiency it brings. Looking forward to more of your vlogs and learning from your experiences. Keep up the fantastic work, Jamie!
This is a very nice video. I really like how you prepared everything so that it looks like presentation or some infographic and we can really SEE the details in a nice way, not just a few screenshots.
Yoooooo, the shoutout to mind maps was great! They changed my everything. Also I saw the glimpse into your bjj map and got super happy because I do that too to logically organize what positions/transitions to review/train. I loved this video!!!! Thank you
Hi, just wanted to say that I appreciate your approach to a simple yet functional workflow. I also love to keep the amount of tools and things I add to my workflow to a minimum. Thank you for sharing!
Love this! Specially loved learning how you use apple keynote to create animations. Thank you for sharing your workflow--very helpful for a game dev wannabe like me.
The Mindmap tip is awesome. Thank you! My mind can go crazy with ideas sometimes, and usually im just walking around and typing notes on my phone which is a bit messy if you look at it a few days later... Im sure this will help me to keep my thoughts a bit more organised, without adding too much complexity on the writing them down aspect!
Fantastic video. It's always nice to see what other people use as tools and how they organize to make it simpler to understand and boost productivity. That mindmap is something I will experiment with, for sure. Thanks
You got me on mindmap which I've been doing for years to help manage my adhd, you got me to subscribe when you said you're working on a game about a cat!
Combine it with Obsidian Canvases and their ability to make single item in such mindmap a separate note and here you go - perfect project productivity system
Love this! I’ve tried a lot of apps with sub tasks but they’re generally more limited and don’t “map” to my mental model well, and def don’t have the flexibility you demonstrate here. I’ve also been a longtime fan of MindNode on iPad but haven’t used it in some time. This video prompted me to check back. I was so pleased to find it’s even added task (toggle/checkbox) support to nodes. And also has an amazing nested list layout if preferred for org etc Thank you so much for talking about this - genuinely useful.
MindNode is now my go to tool and since I watched your video I've migrated 3 entire projects into it. It's mind blowing and I can't believe I hadn't considered this before. Thanks again. I'm rarely impressed with productivity videos but this was truly inspiring. 👏
Amazing video and great tips! The use of mind maps for task tracking was very surprising to me. It is so intuitive and I can't believe I haven't tried this. Will do on my next gamedev project!
Your task maps are amazing, I'm borrowing it for my prototype project. I envy you all who know proper coding and logic. Thank you so much for this video!
The views on this one really went wild for you! Who would have thought that "tools I use" would be the breakout topic? It was really well done of course, so I'm sure that played a role. Cheers!
So horizontal hierarchy instead of vertical. I'm glad it works for you. The video PR hustle is something I haven't thought a lot about for a long time. Wearing all of the hats that I'm used to seeing spread across a team must be exhausting.
I started using a similar mind map structure to describe various activities required for larger teams and organizations to build - it’s very effective tool to describe not only at the executive level but also to the individual contributors to see how their piece fits into the larger picture. Something I stumbled on accidentally and glad to see others leveraging something similar too.
@@jamie_dev the format I started with was much heavier with more detail and I’ve now switched to your format for a couple things this week which is a nice compliment to the more detailed approach. Lucid also has a Mind Map template similar to Miro which is also working well - thanks!
@@PatrickChoiGood question, and likely a few options there but finding something that feels organized to you and lets you keep track of the work that needs to be done is priority 1. For me the mind map is really about structure, communication, and easier for me to find gaps. I saw in the video that Jamie numbers the leaf nodes- that’s a good option and in Miro/Lucid the mind map can be changed by dragging and dropping. On other option is to create work items in another system and link to them from the chart. Sometimes the work doesn’t have a priority as well, and in those cases it doesn’t matter where you start or end. In my case leaf nodes represent 1-3 months of work and so I move that information into Jira for others to work on.
@@BitLyrist oh, the leaf nodes being the circled center nodes like "0.0.1 prototype"? i guess i shouldn't have my entire game as center node but smaller parts of it or different stages of the game. seems a bit complicated, it's like I'd have duplicates of the same feature areas, say Dialogue system, just that one Center node may be with earlier version of Dialoge system and another center node is the later game version where Dialogue system tasks still exist..
this is insane presentation animation for technical videos. I love the simple breakdown approach to project management too, definitely usable for any solo software projects. Godsend ❤
Hey Jamie, awesome Video! My biggest struggle in my journey so far ist to keep track of all my todo's. I tried several Tools and Lists. But it's never feels organic. Mindmaps I usually use for brainstorming, but I never got the thought to use it for task management, but this is a brilliant idea! You keep always the context and it's easy to extend! I think I will try this! Really, really awesome!
Great presentation, transparency is so good for other aspiring game devs, even current game devs to see. Making games is just like writing, everyone who is starting or even veterans are always trying to find ways to improve their craft, or get to a more optimal way of working, that is what coding is all about. "Make it work" and the next time, make it better. I love how you snuck in Brackeys in there :)
You really connected to me. Very glad the youtube algorithm found me. I have been using mind maps and trello and found there was something about trello that did quite fit till you pointed it out to me. Also, I always wonder how these simple but effective animations worked to articulate concepts to the audience. Thank you for sharing. Keep it up! You now have re-inspired me to dev log and you have a new follower ;)
Hello! I just started thinking of taking my art skills and turning it into game assets and this was so helpful for me. Making the mind map and applying it to workflow is so brilliant and sharing us your process with these tools was inspiring, thank you!
I never understood mindmaps. They are totally alien to my way of thinking. But... they are ABSOLUTELY EYE OPENING for task management and oh my, what have I been doing with my life all this time -.- (been making games and software professionally for decades)
Thanks for an idea of mind map. I was doing it in simple txt document. When task is way big, I simple delete it and replace with smaller ones. However, mind maps allow you to view whole picture and what looks the most promising: ability to see a progress per node!
This was quite help as someone new to your channel. Personally, I don't think there is enough flowchart tools out there because I use them for planing quests and dialogue options for games I want to create. I'm also in love with obsidian md for planning and research; and for planning D&D sessions. Nice about the animations though, makes sense and I will be definitely using these once I start a RUclips game developer journey
I realized the core idea behind Mindmaps is the same with Outliner apps. The main difference being that Outliners (like Dynalist and Logseq) are primarily text based and Mindmaps are visual. For people with ADHD, like me, I think outliners are better. I feel overwhelmed just looking at that Mindmap. Great video!
You are a strong girl. Making game is not an easy task for one person. I have been on and off trying to make one but didnt have time and motivation enough to do so.
thank u very much! im definitively gonna try miro for my game planning. im about to start my own gamedev channel and this video was very usufel. Love from Brasil 🇧🇷🤍
Awesome Video! The more I think about it, the more I realize that using a mindmap to plan is actually so much better than what I've been doing with online task managers. I've also always thought those video animations were really neat, and knowing that I can use powerpoint to do that is really helpful. thanks :D
I loved the Miro idea for keeping a todo list. I have always struggled with the linear nature of todo lists and never did them as a consequence. Also the using Apple for animations is a great idea. I am picking these two in my workflow.
Such an efficient video, thanks for sharing all your workflow. I was really seduced by the mindmap, I was always relunctant to use notion or any other todo list, but the dynamic mindmap, event if it's seems limited, looks simply efficient. 🙏
ooooh as someone who's had massive issues planning using Trello and Notion and actually tracking whats next, I'm really keen to see how you do this. NB I haven't watched the full vid yet!
Loved the video really inspiring as I am wanting to dive into making a game myself with gadot. I would love to see a more indepth video on the mindmaps and tips for how to break stuff down. I have only ever used them for test plans with really complex systems.
The important thing is where u get money to survive while u developing something. You should discuss this. I follow a lots tutorial unity for several month. At the end i realize i just waste my time cause i dont have single penny even to eat and pay my own bills.
and even worse is the fact that you need at least one year, before you will see first income (if any). Game dev is way more difficult than business dev and less profitable. Game dev is like being art person, you are poor but you enjoy what you are doing :)
Awesome tips! I started using Miro to plan my application and it makes the development process a whole lot more focused and organized. Also, I never knew about the PowerPoint animation features and it really makes it quick and easy to create interesting presentations. I really want to play the cozy cat game now. 😼😼😼
This works as solo dev; but won't fly in any company. The reason why mindmap works for you is because you are 1 person and no work depends from others, nor you have anyone to update except yoursef; nor you have timelines. As such your workflow is entirely based on a todo list with connections (this is what a mindmap is in the end). You will face large problems switching from this workflow to a proper workflow in a team that use common industry tools if you are only accustomed to this workflow; as the mental model is quite different. But if you fly solo for the rest of your career, this works like a charm. Trello is a great tool used in many large companies, so I would not discount it. Miro is also a great tool and you already use it, which is great
Omg -- I use mind maps at my day job when architecting schemas for development. I never thought to use it as a productivity tool. This seems like a game changer! Liked and subbed! Thank you Edit: And thank you for sharing keynote animations! Had never heard of that but love the animation style and will definitely help with my future videos!
Mind map is a powerful tool, I have used it for study when I was a student. They could definitely work for me in solo approach, but I'm not so sure about work in a team. While mind maps are clear enough for people who have some experience with them, I found that majority of people find them convoluted and still tend to use hierarchy/list approaches when it comes to project management. Mind maps give too much freedom for expression, and working with others kinda demands more unified and strict approach to that. The same thing applies to the open canvases - they are good for brainstorming but not as good for actual task management. I wish there will be some tool with a seamless non-destructible transition between a standard kanban and mind map view.
For task managers I never get ones with paid versions, cuz they can always decide to charge later and I might end up losing a lot of crucial data. I use free mind maps for any task/goals, basically. Your method is really interesting, I'm gonna start adopting it. Thanks for the video.
I used org-mode that way for many years when I worked solo. It is so nice to take a simple sounding but complex task and break it into it's simplest steps, really helps get to get started when lost. I work at a large company now so it's almost impossible to organize work this way anymore, kanban and markdown is really not the way and knowledge often gets lost / is impossible to find again and the way work involved in a single task is decided makes no sense. I don't know if it's a mind map exactly but definitely a structured tree is perfect for task management.

The keynote thing is an amazing tip, thanks! Great video 🙏
Great for making tutorials, hope it was helpful!!
Love the Apple keynote animations. I was wondering how these animations looked sleek and love how the answer is simple. Love the vid

Job while developing is the TLDR 🤝
Until you are ready to show publisher if your game is the right fit.
One way to go about it is do it on the side from a day job. If you end up successful it’ll pay out in the end.

I used org-mode that way for many years when I worked solo. It is so nice to take a simple sounding but complex task and break it into it's simplest steps, really helps get to get started when lost. I work at a large company now so it's almost impossible to organize work this way anymore, kanban and markdown is really not the way and knowledge often gets lost / is impossible to find again and the way work involved in a single task is decided makes no sense. I don't know if it's a mind map exactly but definitely a structured tree is perfect for task management.
