- This is my first devlog after a very long haitus from making videos. In it I make a start on making a platformer game, which no matter what I will finish.
It's a short one but I hope you'll enjoy it just the same.

![Making A New Game! - Daily Roguelike Devlog [1]](/img/1.gif)
I'm gonna try to be more active on discord: discord.gg/27DWMcH
You got this dude! Just focus on trying to release something. Who cares if its not amazing, releasing something at all is a huge step forward.
Thanks!
Oh, its benbonk. Hello man I'm really looking forward to see slimekeep on steam. Great work you're doing there!
That’s interesting, I have a similar experience. I had been working on games for years and never finished anything (around 9 years, can you believe it?). There would always be scope creep (or ocd creep, really). Initially, I would make a fair bit of progress, but at some point it would always grind to a halt. Last week, though, I sat down and decided to just make something. Not something good, not something I’d feel proud of, not something with a thoughtful underlying meaning. Just something. I mean, I’d dine it before, but it was different this time, somehow. And, you know what? It actually happened. I sat down and made a working, playable game in about 20 hours. I spent the rest of the week subtly improving the game, adding menus and whatnot so I could let myself release it online. And I did!
Obviously I’m not bragging. If you’re going through something similar, I don’t think it’s that uncommon. That isn’t to dismiss at all, that’s to say it will get better - but only if you make that happen. It’s really, really, really hard to create a well-designed, fully unique (as if any creative project is fully unique) game, let alone one you’re happy with. So don’t do that. That’s you’re ultimate goal, not your first project. Make something really small, much smaller than you think it should be. Because you can always expand it later (which you probably will, whether you want to or not). If, like me, you can’t seem to finish games, focus on quantity rather than quality. This doesn’t mean the game must look bad, just that you need to switch your primary goal to finishing. When I was making (and not finishing) games for all those years, I might’ve been improving my creative skills. Certainly not game design, but at least brainstorming. But when I finished a game, I learned so much more than I did in lots of those projects combined. Because if you always work on raw prototypes, for instance, you might never have to work on UI.
Anyway, I just wanted to share a bit about myself. Maybe someone out there in the void might find it helpful / inspiring. I definitely don’t have it figured out, but I’m learning. And if you can’t finish your creative projects, you might have completely different issues than I do. But whatever the case, I’m rooting for you and I really hope you manage to break that cycle. Just remember, your first game isn’t your masterpiece :D
Great stuff, Deynum! We all believe in youuuuu aaaaa LET'S DO THIS!
Boooooooiiiiii its Icoso!!! Epic game dev person. How ya doin mate? Love yo videos brilliant job you do!
You know what? I'm gonna start this journey too. No more quitting. Time to make a game.
Day 1 Update: Made a player and a movement system, still need to polish it a but but the basice are there. Simple testing room and test tileset made also.
@@Rzorclw update when? ?
@@Sereblox day 2 quit the game.
That's a great way to think and I love what you have so far already. This motivated me to get more serious about my projects as well, and I'm excited to see your next videos!
Awesome to see you back again. It's been a long time! I hope you do great on your work. Keep it goin mate!
i know that feeling of starting something lots of excitement then boom never finishing it and giving up on it, but you got it this time
I can relate to this a lot man. I always start a project and never end up finishing it, or when I do finish it, it isn't something that I'm proud of. I really need to improve on this, and your video inspired me a little. Good luck man.
nice! A great way to add a little bit of style to the character would be to have a little scarf trailing behind the character, you could even make it physics based and pixelise it with a shader. Looking forward to seeing more of this!
I'm glad to see that you are back!! It's okay to give up on projects. Always remember that giving up does not mean you didn't have some fun and improved yourself
The idea for my game started 15 years ago. I am finally building it. I won't quit, I just hope I will finish before I die or forget my own name! Keep going, we're all in it together!
U got this dude!!! I cant Wait to see the updates about the game !! And the day you will release it! Love the art already!!
Really like the simple and small style. Keep it up!
Awesome video! Really am liking the art style of the game. Also it is good to perfect the movement of the player first and then move on. I did that too :) Keep at it dude eventually you will finish the game. Keep it up! :)
Subscribed to you based on the player pixel art alone. It looks amazing, hope you continue with this 🌴
Deynum is back! Very good video!
When you do anything creative you just have to make a thing. It doesn’t need to be good and it probably won’t but simply making progress brings motivation. If you can make a schedule for being creative and discipline yourself to just do it you’ll be able to get so much done.
These are my wise words.
Good luck! I really hope you finish the game :D
Don’t hesitate to hmu, I may or may not know a thing or two about platformer dev 😅
Happy to see an upload from you buddy!
yooo, you're back, you are the best gamedev in my oppinion
Cant wait to see the progress! Good luck!
Would really love to see the final stage of your development, godspeed Deynum
subscribed, finally RUclips recommends me something nice
YEAH! Also, I would suggest a hat or a scarf for the player :D
I haven't seen any of your vids before, including this one (still watching), but good luck!
Thank you
I like the black and white theme, and how the player is tiny but everyone else is tall and monster like ish
No quitting! We can do it!
looking forward to seeing more of this game! :)
As a novelist who is presently still an amateur (I don't get paid) but who has been working on his craft for about six years now, I think you've made the right choice.
It seems that regardless of which art-form we choose, there are consistence advice that we can be given, and one of those is, "If you start something, finish it."
I've come to modify the advice to be more flexible and consequently more useful to all types of people. Here's some tips in that category:
1. Finish your project. If you start working on something for more than a week, then complete it.
2. Make an outline and _stick to that outline._ It affords you nothing if you change everything about what you've made, and will cost you a lot more if you change everything more than once. The fact that you're still technically working on the same project is not evidence that you're still following the advice of finishing what you start: If you work on the same project for three years, and the project looks entirely different every six months, then you have failed.
3. If the project sucks, finish it anyway. It doesn't matter that it sucks. In fact, if you're still a beginner then it _must_ suck. Sucking is the exact right thing to do if your goal is to improve. If you expect to not suck at any point within your first few projects, then your expectations are astronomically unrealistic and you will self-destruct when they are inevitably unmet.
4. If you get exhausted of a project, have another idea in mind, and you have very good reasons to abandon the project, and you are going to flat-out refuse to follow the "finish the project" advice in reality, then you can try following it in spirit: Even if you must cut the whole thing short, slap on an ending and do a slapdash once-over edit, _that's still finishing it._ You'll learn from that.
5. All of that said, *feel free to ignore this advice* if you have good, logical reasons for moving on to something else, and you are not just being lazy, whimsical or discouraged. As you become more skilled, you will almost certainly start things that, frankly, should _not_ be finished because they'd be a waste of your time.
Lastly, I'll say that the more projects you finish-big or small-the quicker you'll "level up," the more quickly you'll gain understanding of what needs to be done to complete a project, to tell stories, to make something fun, or whatever it is that is pertinent to your particular art-form, and virtually nothing will enhance your skill the way completing a project will.
Godspeed!
Thank you for this wonderful advice
@@Deynum Nothing would make me more happy than seeing you succeed!
I thought of one more thing, which I touched on only slightly in my first message:
Outline, and _don't deviate from the outline._ I have a friend who has finished multiple books, but during the writing of all of them, he starts strong, loses steam, loses direction, and finally crawls, battered and bruised, across the finished line.
I recommended outlining, and he did, but to my dismay (and his!) he was unable to resist deviating from that outline drastically. What would happen is that he'd write extemporaneously (off the cuff) and as he explored the richness of characters, he'd have them do various things that did not match his outline. Once he'd changed enough of the story by "allowing" his characters to do things that were not in accordance with the plans he'd already made, he would then have a mostly useless outline, and therefore either have to continue writing the story extemporaneously, or he'd have to make up a new outline that would almost certainly be overridden again by his inability to reign in his impulsive creativity.
If he had just stuck to his outline, he could have gone back after writing the story and added in new elements, using his understanding of the completed story as a fulcrum for new ideas and interesting character moments, rather than grabbling continually for cohesion in an amorphous story-line.
I said all that to say this: Get a proof-of-concept, or a minimum viable product (MVP. . wait, MPV? Is that the real term?) as soon as you can, establish the core mechanics as quickly as possible, and _adhere to those mechanics_ as best you can, as much as reasonable (games are admittedly different than writing books) and only once you've finished the core game-play should you go back and expand on it, doing so with the understanding of your limited resources and time and, if applicable, skill.
I apologize for the long reply but I hope it was at least somewhat interesting and a little bit helpful.
Really like the small dude in world of giants aesthetic.
Looking forward to next devlog
You come back wiser every time you fail. As long as you dont give up! :D Let us both not give up!
*The Title*
Me: *press X to doubt*
Seriously tho, the animations are 😳
Also you really improved with your art!
👍👍
Hey deynum long time no see I’m not sure if you even remember me haha, anyway I will always watch and like your videos every time you post so don’t me or your fan base will ever give up on you!
Good luck on sticking with it. i am curious, though, which is more important to you: the game itself, or your finishing it?
I knew you would be back
welcome back
Good luck!
Thanks!
HECK YES.
FINALLY YOUVE UPLOADED
You can do it!
great to have you back, and omg that character is cute, i love the idea of a small charater like you said so much it's so cute hbfagadfaeafad.
can't wait to see more, i'll talk to you on discord sometime
I remember playing a game online and seeing your username. It’s like dèjá vu all over again.
welcome back!!
No, it can't be. A new video! Heck yea!
I can't believe it either
5 days progress in 200 days 😂, but this game looks good, and... keep going on and make good progress!
pop off dey!
this just so relatable.
The return of the king
THE GOD HAS RETURNED TO US!!
lol
Focus on just getting the player from point A to point B and then you can add more complex features like upgrades, traps and enemies.
Verry cool! and noice
noice
You're back!!!!!!
Yes! Upload more! :D :D :D
I want to play this.
Based
Imagine not giving up on a game *glances at all the games i gave up on*
Make the head more secular !
Great stuff, but how does it take 1 week to implement platforms? Seems a bit long imo
Not the platforms, the controls (speed, velocity, jumpheight, gravity, etc..)
*Never Give Up*
Hello there! Noice
What happened to that arcade game? It looked cool
unfortunately it's one of the games I quit working on
@@Deynum Ah, that sucks
devlog 2 will prob be the last one but i still subscribe to see how wrong i will be
Actually, getting a devlog 2 is already unlikely if you look at my upload history :)
i almost unsubbed, thank the lord of the flat earth himself i didn't or i might have never seen this video
When you get rich and famous will you remember me?
GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGGOGOHOGOGOGOGOGGOGOGOGOHOGGOGOGOGOGOGOFOGHOFOHOGOFOGOGGUUUUAUAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAUUAAUAUAHAHAHAHAAHAGOHOGOGOG
Still no minecraft.
copium overdose
please, i watched your videos since desktopia, and after that you are just quitting games.
Please don't fail anymore! i really think you have potential and your ideas are fire. don't quit anymore, let the arcade game be the last time you quit on a game.
I'm counting on you!!!!
Thanks for being here for so long, and I completely agree, the quitting is getting annoying. But I have high hopes this project will be different :)
