ever game dev needs to overscope. If you havnt overscoped once then idk what your doing! Ive gone through multiple sessions with calling my friends for over an hour planning a game. Them it just doesnt happen. But the important thing is to learn from it every tiem!

I think I saw all the comments and there is something missing. The shape of a 3D model is called a mesh. The things that move them is called Bones and all the bones in a model is called a rig. A mesh is attached to bones through Weight painting. The colour of the mesh is called *albedo* and can be solid colours or textures. To use textures you have to "UV unwrap", which is the process of making your model lay flat so you can draw on it. There is a lot more that I didn't cover but hopefully this should at least get you going in the right direction. Also people use the capsule because it handles stairs and hills decently enough.

Good foe you Man, it's great to see progress and how satisfyihg it must be for you! Big Dopamine rush eh?

If by “magic” you mean “errors”, then yes I am indeed making a lot of magic

ok brooo! I clicked because of the title, but the style of this video is amazing!

I spent many many years never finishing projects, but they're hobby projects and they're just for fun - and I was having fun. I started in the last two years of high school, all through uni and until I got to work making little hobby things that were never finished. A few years into working full-time I finally found an idea was exactly what I wanted to do. I'm now 6 years in, and this jumbo project will take at least another 10. There's a huge focus on finishing games these days and not just doing what you enioy. If you're having fun, then you're not doing it "wrong". And once the game is done(ish) it'll be a unique, new and grand vision, which I'm very excited for. Don't just follow trends and don't lock yourself into one style of doing things, just have fun and enjoy yourself 😊

What is the main idea or mechanic of your next game? Do you want to make a game or tell a story??

The next chapter begins 🍿

Good quality content, subbed.

lose the game engine ;) i just use c++, win32, and get the OpenGL APIs right from the .dll with LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress :p

good luck on your journey dude! to you, and anyone else who's trying to learn game development, game jams are a great place to start. the short time period forces you to scope small, and some jams have discord servers where you can team up and learn from more experienced developers. they're a lot of fun :)

This is the first video of yours I am watching, but sign me up on the journey. Subbed and looking forward for more, cheers!

I think the key is breaking down not specific ideas into the most specific deliverables. Then making a calculation. Then you have to decide if making the project is feasible, if so, how. Depending on that answer, you break it down to a minimum viable product. Then you go onto the development phase which starts with prototyping.

Here's a suggestion for any new game devs - don't start planning with genres, themes or narratives. Game dev should always start with a core mechanic that is fun. They begin as "toys" which are expanded out into games and if that core mechanuc is fun then the game will be fun. If that core mechanic has many uses then your game will have depth. The phrase "easy to learn, difficult to master" is rooted in this principle. Also by aiming to build a genre or even having an aesthetic you immediately begin to introduce problems as you'll be forced to discard good solutions to a gameplay problem because it doesn't fit the genre or aesthetic. You've all played games where gameplay elements didn't seem to mesh very well or the mechanic itself seems very forced for the setting or genre of the game. This is a consequence of working within these restrictions and for new developers you need to avoid that because it takes experience to foresee far enough along the development process to plan ways around them.

Nife

Lol

relatable 😂😂😂. spends months on getting a progress bar to work.

“What should the story be” Take a tip from a D&D Dungeon Master; Just make it about hunting a vampire and work from there. Lmao But that’s kinda what I do; take a story and simplify it. Cue Lord Of The Rings in a Box

I had a project that went way too big. I spent a month implementing 10% of the mechanics with no gameplay and then I realised that I would never finish the game. Then I threw it into the “have potential” pile of projects for another day.

You were a game dev when you made a object move

Funnily, I overscope, a lot. And I haven't even made a game yet. Rpg with many cities, cutscenes, and a grand story. That sounds like me. Maybe I must lower my scope. Glad to hear i'm not the only one that do it. This video may literally change my life. Didn't have a specific goal in mind despite having a ocen of ideas i would like to dump. Thanks a lot to make a mistake which help people like me to not do the mistake. Thank you greenLIGHTdev

My first game is going to be a huge one! But my solution to not be overwhelmed, is to take one mechanic and make a standalone prototype about that and then take code and knowledge from all those and put it back into the "main" project. At least that has helped me keep the motivation and passion going.:)

You Vedio Editing skills are good as well.

this is really inspiring, im rooting for you Keep it up!!!

You're doing great!!! Most important thing is to get to a playable version ASAP! Strip out everything that you don't need for now (quests, day/night, upgradable items, etc.). Then get the demo out there and add one thing at a time... while collecting feedback every step of the way!!

you got 1 subb when the SUPER X appear lol

I loved this, actually got 'the feels' at the end! lets go man, I'm in Subbed

this ones awesome...me and my school friend both are full on committed making one ourselves with a hugeeee ass scope ( and panics do come in small waves and tides) your video made me smile in this time...thanks a bunch and god speed brother!!

one of the best youtuber/gamedev your efforts are amazing!!!

Okay but this is peak background gameplay

I’m in the middle of an overscoping crisis as well. My very first game I wanted procedurally generated worlds and items, that’s a terrible idea for a first game, even seasoned game devs think it’s hard to do. Now my worlds are handcrafted and items are placed manually, which is way more manageable. I still think my game is way too ambitious for a first timer, but I’ve done so much that I’d hate to put it to the side and do other stuff.

5:00 this was literally me when intried Godot, after knowing unity Well, No thank you i'll Stick to unity for now

Helping algorithm don't mind me

Good question

I can confirm. Magic. There is no way my code should work, but it is and I don't know why.

I agree, its crazy

As someone else said, we will support you! I'm excited for your next project.

That's a really good idea, thank you i'm gonna try it!!

graphic skill = communist 🤣

I went down a trig rabbit hole and had the AI follow an interception path so they try to overtake you

Congrats on the journey so far! I really appreciate the positive attitude through the process. I'd love to get in touch if you ever want to try a little game jam! It's a joy getting to meet and learn on this kind of stuff with new people.

Loved the devlogs on your first game. It actually helped inspire me to make my own game! Can't wait to see what you make next.

Hey! I got stuck in a similar loop but in a different way... I would try to start a big project in blender, then realized it was hard, and never completed it. My first project was super large scale, and it took 2 months 😅, but I learned so much while experimenting and staying consistent even if something didn't go my way. Keep up the good work :)

Am excited for the next one. Keep up and we will support your efforts. Nice of you to say that skills and perfection come over time!

My music composition is in -100%

Very cool video, can i ask how you do those Animations in your video? Also the Text looks so good

Wouldn’t the game be teeny tiny on a 4k monitor?

W progress 💯

Keep the good work king, little by little you will reach your objective
