    I really just sat here for 35 minutes and listened to some dude named Levin explain his entire childhood… totally worth it!
    No really, this video was very interesting and somewhat insightful, definitely subscribing.
    Also Seaborn sounds like something i would be interested in so im gonna go watch the devlog for that rn

    seeing other people’s game dev stories is always so interesting and i love how game design almost always shows up on paper first. i remember making board games, then card games, then ttrpgs, and then making a game for the first time it just felt so surreal
    edit: i’ve also been working on my own mostly linear rpg so it’s cool to be following your project as well!

    I’ve been into game dev for a while now, but only just started my journey and begun using unity now. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and they’ve honestly been inspiring and very well put together. Thank you inspiring me to reach my goals, I hope eventually I can make my own games too.

    • @ButWhyLevin

      Good luck! Just remember that consistency is key, it’s a long journey, but I think that anybody who puts the time in and is passionate about it can become a great game developer

    I have everything I need to make a game, just no ideas.
    I really want to make a game but it's like I can't really get any ideas for story, genre, mechanics,...
    The only things I have are a platformer without jump mechanic, a bad stealth game and a weird endless runner (all of them unfinished). All of them unfinished bc guess what, I can't get ideas for the games!

    Man, I also started my video-game creation with paper and pencil in school. I played not much with friends as I didn't got much friends anyway. But a lot of my interests were born back then. I am not good but I am currently working in get better as I jump from game idea to game idea until one catches me enough to finnish one.

    34:20 who is that? i opened subtitles to see how to spell the name soo i could search them, but subtitles doesn't give the correct spelling.
    i checked the description hoping he might've been linked there.
    1. I've followed the path of no school for years.; TH-cam Tutorials and watching other Indie Devs are definitely my guidance.
    2. OMG you do animation too?! that's a trip, to find someone who also likes game dev & Animating.
    And here i was thinking "i must be one of the fiew who do animating & game dev"
    3. When i started youtube, i thought "my Thanos video will get at LEAST 1 million views." and boy was i wrong lol 😄
    4. Storytime animating? ngl i too had the same idea; it's super prominent since %99 of my stuff is animations.
    5. Unity? i honestly want to start using Unity eventually; thanks for reviewing GameMaker 2.
    6. Thanks for making this video. I had fun listening to and watching your journey.
    honestly i wasn't interested in the video untill 1/3rd of the way through it already, then i was like "This video is amazing."

    • @ButWhyLevin
      @ButWhyLevin  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lol, thanks for the long comment, it means a lot! Also sorry, I really need to subtitle my videos more, as I can mess up the names of things pretty easily, it’s Archvale by Idoz if you’re talking about the pixel art game. Also, if you like animator game devs, then check out Robert Thomson, he’s a professional animator who does game dev and makes great videos. th-cam.com/users/RobertThomsonDev
