i am so glad to hear that I was able to help motivate you! just remember game dev is a long but very rewarding process!! and if you ever need anything at all i am here to help!!
Cheers for this. I recently started my own journey and first little project near complete, but these tips are really useful. Your videos have helped and I know my biggest setback right now is setting aside clear time for development. I'll keep at it and keep reviewing your videos. Cheers for everything 😊
glad to hear that they are helpful!! it means the world to me!! I am so glad to hear that about your project! if you ever have time someday I would love to play it!! setting aside clear time and developing at that clean time is truly so important! I am just so glad to hear that you are coming to a close on your first project! that is such an amazing accomplishment!
I hope you keep making these helpful videos. I’m following you now as I start concept art for my own game. These kind of resources and the other videos you make really help those of us just starting out and I want to say thank you ❤
Hi DevWorm, thanks- I needed to hear this! I'm about a month into development of my first title and already I'm getting torn between creating essential game features, developing a visual style, creating sprite art/animation, and conceptualsing game elements + game lore. After this video I'm downloading Notion and going to do some reading on task prioritisation. Thanks again!
The solo game dev life isn't easy. If you want to create a finished, marketable product that doesn’t lack in functionality, art/animation, music/sound etc, you need to be outstanding in at least one area and good in the others. So the required focus may vary depending on the dev and the game being worked on. But personally, I think that learning a variety of skills and seeing your improvements with each project is a lot of fun.
that is very true!! having all the skills is so important!! What you mentioned at the end is very true! I love looking at my old projects and seeing how i have improved!
I actually develop for as long as I can stand without putting in any real graphics or sound (or using placeholder art and sound). This makes things much faster to iterate on and also much easier to change or throw stuff out until you know you have commited 100% to something in the game. Also if you have got something that feels "ok" at that stage it will feel fantastic when you put real graphics and sound to it.
I m newbie and never learn to coding but your channel make an inspiration for me. It hard to learn cause I use thai language and now I m 36 years old but is not an excuse to make me give up. Respect you bros.
i respect you so much for that brother!! I know you have what it takes to do something amazing with game dev!! Keep learning and growing!! And remember if you ever need anything I am here for you brother!
@DevWorm can you give us a video on dev software you prefer? i would love some hints on sw that you may know of that work on ubuntu ( as well as windows ) to help us. and........ are drawing tablets really useful for helping with making art and animations? i hear a lot about that but have no idea what to expect from a tablet 👀
Question? Using a game engine like Godot for making 2D top down games. Is it quicker or easier to make a game with compared to something like Lua and LOVE2D which I just found out is a framework or its about the same amount of time? looking to use a simple programming language but at the same time not build everything from scratch. Do you find it easy to build games with Godot? Sorry been googling and its hard to find comparisons of these 2 technogolies.
Hi i cant really draw either but what ive found to be really helpfull is - just take a real life picture of something like a knight and draw over it this helps you with the feeling of how the thing is structured and - something i have a bih problem with - teaches you how to color properly 😊
Hi, there’s plenty of image packs available for purchase. If you don’t have a lot to spend I would personally recommend keeping an eye on humblebundle. They often game image and music bundles. If you want to learn to draw: the only honest advice anyone could give you is to simple start drawing. Take time every day. Try harder and harder things. And if you run into difficulties: Good! That means you know what to focus on. Of course there are billions of “how to draw” tutorials, and they can be very helpful, but simply looking at them will only give you the feeling that you’re improving. Truly improving only comes with practice.
Use free or paid assets or hire an artist, freelance is a totally working solution, there r really tons of both ready to use assets and freelancers ready to make the missing assets in the same style for quite low prices
Hi i decide to make jump pad in my game like if we character touch it we will automatic jump,so di place area 2d in the jumpad and after that i create script in that jumpad i drag and drop my character and make variabel after that i add character.position_y =100 in function body entered and the result is like null i don't understand,so i decide to make area 2d in my character that will if body entered it will jump and it works but my tile map become jump pad to i already change the layer and maks but still doesn't work ,may you help me?
hmm I would probably create an area2d on the player and on the jump pad… then in the players area2d signal when an area entered.. and check to see if that area is the jumppad area and if so call the “velocity.y += jumppad_power” within the player script! I really hope this helps, if you are having any issue then just let me know!!
Hey bro i just want to ask you if you can give me tutorial on how put on screen controls on your rpg game tutorials, i just want to play it on mobile android, but i dont have on screen controls, I'm too confused at what should i do. Please help me bro
I just realized that I must not go straight to boss mode without even learning the basics of coding so I should start small like Gamemaker or Construct 3 or Scratch and maybe Gdevelop
if you are looking to develop in a major engine then I really recommend Godot even as a complete beginner but like @Zenith_star mentioned keep the projects small and just focus on the basis!! goodluck in your game dev journey! if you ever need anything i am here for you
I have a very amazing concept of a game but i can't do it by myself, maybe i need someone who can guide me, i really need someone. I know if this project finished, it will make someone who plays it happy, as they enjoyed what i want for my game to work. I'm about 2 weeks working with this project but nothing works as i can't understand why some of it doesn't work and function. If only could someone help me with this project as a team.

Imho the first and the best step is to stop being solo by creating a paid team, and at start the best option is to collect a pool of freelancers, so u can manage easily how much r u able to and going to spend each month
@@ultimaxkom8728 that's bullsh1t, such an approach I v described gives u chances to get ur first completed games at all, solo devs give up very often and almost never finish their projects, so having a team by ur side and under ur commando is the best cure
The day i nearly quit due to burn out, not 1, but 2 of these videos appear on my feed.
Thank you so much

A rational thinking on your part.
you can start with godot. Just keep your project size small to start
if you are looking to develop in a major engine then I really recommend Godot even as a complete beginner but like @Zenith_star mentioned keep the projects small and just focus on the basis!! goodluck in your game dev journey! if you ever need anything i am here for you

Never do this for your starting games, and only do it after they're _proven by the market or player feedbacks_ to a significant margin.
@@ultimaxkom8728 that's bullsh1t, such an approach I v described gives u chances to get ur first completed games at all, solo devs give up very often and almost never finish their projects, so having a team by ur side and under ur commando is the best cure
sounds like a good way to start burning money
99% of solo devs never finish their projects, such a team gives one the real chance to make a complete game and to start to build up a portfolio
@@Zenith_Star69 time is money, if u don't value ur time, then by wasting ur time u don't "burn" money 👍
