  • I spent some time learning Game Builder Garage and decided to try and make a review of it from the perspective of someone interested in learning programming and making games.

    When I finished the tutorials and was off on my own, I felt sad. Really sad. Just being in the editor without hearing Bob's fun voice or Alice's slow voice just made me sad. Without a tiny circle guiding me through, I just felt... alone. I feel like I made a very close bond with these two circles, and I just couldn't go on without them. I can't believe I got attached to circles, but every time I open up GBG, I feel really sad. I know this sounds weird, but I just wanna talk to Bob again.

    I know I am late to the party and this comment will be overlooked. One thing to keep in mind is that GBG is made for kids mostly and when I was working advertising these games during the sales last year a lot of family bought to their kids just so they have a glimpse about what is programming and they were not disappointed. Kids loved learning on it and so did the parents.

    at around 14:00 you mentioned something about the X/Y and X/Z axis rotation for the two views, which makes me remember that this happened with Labo VR as well. Might be a leftover of that system (which was primative compared to GBG). Nonetheless, I think an isometric or a freeform view would have been more effective in conveying world space better for 3D games. They layout system kind of put me off the game in the middle of the tutorial system, and I'd rather deal with Godot because of this.

    Hello, novice game developer here (not a beginner but still have a lot to learn)
    What I personally think GBG is near *perfect* for is actually prototyping; the system is streamlined jist enough, in just the right ways, to quickly and efficiently hash out game ideas. To make sure a concept works at the most basic level, before taking that concept into your engine of choice for the real gamedev to start.

    Is $40 worth it bassed on this video and my Experince yes as RPG maker is $75 and won't teach you to code but alow you to make games people can buy... Even can be highly successfull... But to learn how to code I know of nothing better exacpt maybe Minecraft with red stone $25 or like you said skrach but does it have that Nintedno flare or an 8 hour story mode? I don't know but I doudt it. Anyway great video!

    • @DodgaOfficial
      @DodgaOfficial 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nah this isn't worth 40 bucks, if it wasn't so limited then maybe, but you can't really make anything substantial with it. Even making something as basic as pacman is very very difficulf

  • @maximeumbra7235
    @maximeumbra7235 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nothing will get you past the first hurdle but your own decision to start learning and ignore your discomfort or lazy impulses, you will need around 10 hours learning the basics and fumbling some programs together to get started enough to matter, it'll take a 100 hours to get moderately comfortable doing basic tasks well. You wouldn't expect to learn Portuguese, Spanish or French by randomly babbling, same goes for programming we don't call the different programming languages exactly that, languages. But once you learn one well, it'll be insanely easier to learn lots more since almost all of them share strict commonalities and same basic linguistic foundations.
    This isn't to discourage or encourage anyone, the decision is yours alone not anyone elses and what i said above is the key to getting there. You need to decide if you want to go for it, try the first 10 hours to see if you even like it then make your mind and start hard or focus on some other thing and be productive to improve your life that way.

  • @DodgaOfficial
    @DodgaOfficial 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I was so dissapointed with game builder garage. The node limit makes it virtually impossible to make anything substantial, and the fact that there was no way to browse other people's games was ridiculous, it could have been so good, but of course Nintendo had to fuck it up
