Keep it up
i want to be a game dev to and i use AI to help me and i maybe would recommend it to
Good suggestion. I haven’t used it much for game dev. Any recommendations?
@@louisdesimone9191 idk i just use chatgpt
Oh. What for? To help with scripts?
@@louisdesimone9191 yes
OK I'm a little late to the party, but what's the "revised model" about?
Hey bro I have just begun to start learning game developing.can you give ideas for mini games to improve my skills 🙂
What do you like to play? It’s easier to create when you enjoy what you create.
I cant tell if this is praisijg or sinply adversting but i can confirn the information is true that is presented in tbe vjdeo so why u teling me dis
Great video, thanks man, i was stuck learning godot with C# which had nearly to zero documentation and no tutorials, i guess Unity is the way to go for me.
I tried, the problem is that i dont know how to make games and i watched a tutorial
The important thing is to stick with it. Tutorials are good and all but can leave you trapped in tutorial limbo. It’s more important to just game dev everyday. And take it seriously. Turn off all distractions and sit down for at least an hour each day and actually try to learn. Checkout my how to get started video. Stick with this journey and you’ll make it.
Thanks dude
hello Well fellow dev here feel related thank you for sharing your experience however could you please explain how to get funds for a new indie dev when no one knows you and will people really help through paterons or kickstarters i mean there are lots of competitions and gaining user attention is another big task i am not afraid of competition just want to know the way and of course fear is natural as i don't have enough savings for this but i want to make good games sorry i am a newbie to this field just started this journey
Funding your game is actually not that important. You can, as a solo dev, create and publish your game with zero funding. It just cost you time. If you truly need funding advice, I’d suggest checking out @thomasbrush ‘s channel.
@@louisdesimone9191 well sir thanks for suggestions Issue is I am currently a student and don't have enough resources to purchase assets, plugins voice over artist My dream game is a 3d horror game So just thinking what could i do
@aurobindonandi5064 I understand. I would suggest trying to figure out a way around those road blocks. For example, not being able to pay for voice actors, you could try to voice it yourself and/or get family and friends to help…or even better, make it with no vocals and somehow turn that into part of your hook. Play to your strengths. Don’t worry about making changes to your original game idea.
@@louisdesimone9191 thank you sir For motivating
I'm a 17 year old guy who has been making games for about 5 years now and I can say this is fax. I have made 2 fully functional multiplayer games and many single player games aswell
Awesome dude. What is your go to engine?
@@louisdesimone9191 unreal engine 5
Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm very grateful for compressed information without yapping for 10min
I’m glad you liked it. I too don’t like long winded videos. I’m more of straight to the point lol
Absolutely true.
Well that looks promising... Good luck man!
All great advice! love the video
Glad you enjoyed!
This is a fire series ngl
Thanks. There’s more to come.
@@louisdesimone9191 great!
I do it after work :D streaming on youtube, after that on github :)) but I have just one child :) not four like you :D
Sounds like a pretty good schedule. What do you stream? I’ve been thinking about doing some live streams but I’m not sure exactly what I’d do yet.
@@louisdesimone9191 right now until I get some people on the channel I just play some games, to be up to date with recent years games, I was a playstation player and there things are easier and different, after I get a few subscribers I want to make a game engine :D or at least to show to the world how easy it can be :D to do one
Thank you so much for your advice, I’ve been thinking a lot about how could I balance my personal life with game development 😊
Thanks for watching. I hope I helped. Checkout part 2 and 3 later this week and next week when they drop.
@@louisdesimone9191 I definitely will
@@louisdesimone9191 I will 🙌
Highlight advice - "Dedicate at least One Hour a Day for Game Dev" Excellent. Edenbound's trailer works. Looks great. Music, FX, scenes all well done. (Professional looking.) And it did make me curious even though side scrollers are not my thing. Wishlisted on Steam, Liked and Subscribed here.👍
Thanks for it all.
Actually good advice for once lol
Thanks and thanks for checking out my video. I hope it helped some.
adorable seeing the red panda swimming lol <3
Yeah, was pretty happy with it.
I'm pretty sure I saw your game showcased on a video of upcoming games, I hope it generated some more wishlists for you! I thinkkk the channel was Enfant Terrible but I cant remember exactly. Maybe MathChief. Either way, thats gotta feel good!
Thanks. I’ll have to look for it. I haven’t seen anything about that yet.
Oh what a choice for the character :)) I really like red pandas
They are pretty cool animals.
@@louisdesimone9191 I would buy one if I could in my country :D
Nice game sir Will try in beta phase Do a indie game dev need to be a good artist. i want to be a game dev But i am not an artist many people say you should make your own art style so that it should be unique and creative But i don't have enough knowledge on art. As you are a game dev what you think about it?
I’m just like you, I’m no game dev. I’m just learning as I go. I would say to just start and don’t worry about not knowing art. Adjust as you go. If you go back to my Devlog #1 you’ll see my game has changed significantly. The easiest way to make your own unique look in a game is to research color theory. That’s what I did. Good luck on your journey!
Make Your Game even if u starting was the best point. Because if I talk about myself, I start doing dozing and feel sleepy when watching tutorials ( Basic Ones ). The best thing is to start with project as I think coz when u will create something it will motivate u that I can do this. Happy Game Development! ( lol ).
What?
@@louisdesimone9191 I said ur this point was great: start creating rather than watching tutorials or taking courses.
Ah gotcha. Sorry, I didn’t understand at first. Good luck on your game dev journey. I hope your game is a great success!
Should the ghost fox's glow be the same color as the statue (dark purple) instead of classic ghostly blue?
It can be. Definitely an option to match the colors. Thanks.
Hello sir Just starting out as a game dev As you have lots of experience in this field Just wanna some guidance 1. Do people still like 2d games? 2. Do really graphic matter i am comparing between a good and a high quality graphics? 3. Is there a good market in mobile game dev? 4.how to prevent asset filp?
Hey, thanks for checking out my video. I wouldn’t say I have a lot of experience but the experience I do have…1. I think people still like 2D games. There are a lot of really good 2D indie games coming out all the time. 2. Graphics don’t matter that much. Don’t worry about making realistic quality games. Stylization and color theory are far more important. Make it look unique. That can be achieved with just color theory. 3. I don’t have any experience with mobile games so I can’t speak to that. 4. Asset flipping can be easily avoided a number of ways. You can use assets from the store, that’s why they are there. Just change them enough to make it unique or your own style. The fox in my video is from the store. I just put a different shader on it to make it look like a ghost. Hope this helps.
@@louisdesimone9191 thank you very much sir And by the way nice game Wishlisted
Tobe honest your the first gamedev person which i agree completely on project scale, every youtuber i mean big youtuber like "Thomas the great brush" is pitching same thing to go far a small project. What i see is like am working on game for last 3 years and only thing motivated me enough is that it helps me to learn step by step in detail along side my game is in progress too.
Thank you. I hope you success on your journey. I like Thomas Brush’s videos but I know what you’re saying. It’s super easy to lose motivation creating small games.
This was helpful. Thank you for sharing with us the resources you used in your journey. It inspired me to take on the short game challenge to learn new things when i originally was plannign to skip it to focus on my game.
Thank you, I’m glad I could help some.
Hey buddy its a nice trailer with an amazing bgm, I wish your game would succeed.And thank you because one of your videos cleared my confusion to start a Game development career
Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad I could help. Good luck on your journey.
Thought this was an elden ring mod lol eldenbound
very good. i like red panda. and i like blue panda . thanks
Thanks for these great tips!
Thanks for watching! Hope it helped.
0:58 no way I have the same mic elgato, mouse logitech g pro, and monitor, lmao
Love the video! liked and subbed! Go with Unreal! lol just my 2 cents
I think I do have a Udemy course on how to store backups on github lol
Thanks for the sub and your 2 cents. Unreal is definitely a great choice.
Your Steam page needs a short video, could be something simple ..... just the panda walking, running and jumping for 30 seconds.
Thanks for the suggestion! I plan on adding to it…just haven’t gotten to it. Thanks for checking out my video.
That thing you said regarding tutorials was true for me as well. At a certain point, following a tutorial exactly won't actually teach you anything. Taking what you learn and doing your own thing is my preferred way to learn things. Also, I think that following the fun is the best way to go forward. If what you are creating is boring to you, what reason do you have to complete it other than to prove you can complete things?
Exactly. Tutorials are great but shouldn’t be solely relied on to learn. At some point individual learning needs to take place.
"I know Godot is popular right now, but I haven't done any research" Step 2: "Do a little research" ok.
He meant "Do research before you make decision on what engine to use" not "Research every game engine just because"
Hey, what I meant by this was Godot is a popular engine right now but I don’t have any experience using it so I didn’t want to speak on it. This video was based on my personal experiences. The research part was meant to inform people not to dwell on what engine to pick because in the end it doesn’t matter that much, it’s just another tool. But thanks for checking out my video still.
Title says how to but it was more a do's n dont's.. still dont know how to start. Anyways, still a good video. Thx
Thanks for watching. What are you still unsure about? I can try to help.
hey man! Why don´t you leave your game´s steam page on the description for us to find it easily? great vid, btw.
Ah, I knew I forgot something…thanks for pointing it out. It’s there now. Also thanks for watching.
I also use assets, sorry but I'm not a musician or sound effects specialist, I tried learning blender many times but I just can't I rather pay 30 bucks to get a huge tileset better than anything I could possibly ever create. I do the coding, game mechanics and game design that's what I want to focus on
I feel the same. My blender skills are very very minimal. Assets are there for a reason.
