    Don't worry about your old code being bad. When I started game dev back in 2020 I started working on my "dream game" and eventually I gave up because just 3 months in I already improved soo much that I just couldn't put up with the code I wrote at the beginning.
    Also I would totally watch a 7 hour long Shelfman video lol. (Well more like put it on and listen to it while doing something else (I literally did that with a 2 part 6 hour video about debunking a popular psudoarcheology channel on tiktok that was spreading conspiracy theories lol))

    Hey, good job on this, it looks great so far. I'd say that around 10 minute videos that explain mechanics are good. Also, for some feedback, I noticed that the size of pixels across the game isn't consistent, such as the white square highlighter and the little rocks on the factory conveyor belt have smaller pixels than the rest of the game's art. It's small, but it makes the game's visuals feel slightly discontinuous.

    • @TheShelfman
      @TheShelfman  Před 21 dnem

      Thanks so much! The white square is definitely something I'll look into, as for the stuff on the conveyorbelt, it's supposed to be that way as they're just tiny versions of the items. Having them be the actual size on the conveyor belt would be way too large😅

      What's currently visible through the video is definitely looking similar to what's known.
      But it's really almost like a huge Minecraft modpack with Greek mythology. I'll explain the premise in more detail in the future, but basically the character has challenged Zeus to a bet, and now the player has to defeat all the Olympian gods in combat, and eventually Zeus, to win the bet. You create, and find items as part of quests, and once you've reached the end of a god's quest line, you can summon them to fight them, again eventually leading to a fight with Zeus!

    • @Ghostgamer3535
      @Ghostgamer3535 Před 22 dny +1

      @TheShelfman Sounds like combat will be a part of your game as well. I wonder how you will balance the automation vs action elements and how automation will be implemented with the greek mythology theme. Will combat be in the form of tower defence? Or more similar to Forager using your own weapons or maybe both? Will there be magic? You do you. These are just some things you can think about.

      There are plenty of recent indie steam games that got "sky" in their name so their must've been more to it with no man's sky. But interesting nonetheless!

    Hey I recommend filming your green screen footage vertically so your shoes are in frame so you can put yourself anywhere on the screen

    • @TheShelfman
      @TheShelfman  Před 19 dny

      WOW
      I had never even considered that! Like, seriously, I should do a test for this sometime to see if it works for me. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Awesome work! I cant wait to follow more of this. I would say 15-20 minute long videos are best to cover 1 or 2 big things you have added and a few smaller things. Anything over 25 minutes is too much.

    • @TheShelfman
      @TheShelfman  Před 22 dny

      Thanks! And that's a good point. It'll probably take me some time to get my videos to that length, but 25 minutes would probably be difficult too haha

    nice video, looks great but in this style of pixel art having sprites with different scales and the fonts not having the same pixel size does not look good in my opinion, but you do you, keep it up!

    • @TheShelfman
      @TheShelfman  Před 21 dnem +1

      Most of it is pretty much the same already though

      Maybe! But since I've been trying to make this game for years, and I finally got a plan, I'm a little more confident in my ability to do it. However, I also said that I have no idea if I'll ever finish it, so at least I'm trying to keep expectations a little low lol

    Maybe Name the game „Pixel Perfect“ like the Pixel perfect cam in unity. And also like placing things or building things pixel perfect. And about the video length well maybe do all: often some CZcams shorts, here and there a normal 20min devlog and maybe all 4 Months a deep dive for like 5 straight days. Just kidding. Good video by the way

    • @TheShelfman
      @TheShelfman  Před 21 dnem

      Thanks! I'm not sure about the title as I don't think it would necessarily fit the game, but I'll add it to the list anyway!
      I'll probably mess around with the video length as well😁

    Hi, I don’t want to criticise you or something, I’m really impressed by your work and you, however if you are open to suggestions, I think the textures could a bit more detailed, like doubling the pixels.

    • @TheShelfman
      @TheShelfman  Před 20 dny +1

      No worries, feedback is appreciated! Currently the main goal is 8x8 (at the minimum of course, the trees are larger), but if I find at some point that I'm waaaaay too restricted that way, I might go to 16x16 instead. I currently like this still!
