      this is what i actually realized in college while reading Deep Work. In an 8 hour work that you would do only 2 or 4 hours of it is the only time where youre making actual focused work, usually. there will be instances that you can work in a really focused and meaningful way past that, but its rare, and people who can do it regularly more than 4 hours are just special. so i guess its a good reminder that if you feel like youre just slogging after doing concentrated work for at least 2hrs or 4, most times what youre doing above that is just busywork, in the sense that you have already expended your focus juice.

    Whenever I get some free time, I end up wanting to draw something that looks nice and implement it into something interactive. I suck at drawing, and my coding isn't good either, so I end up giving up after a few hours. But somehow I keep finding channels like yours, with people that create awesome things and I keep trying again. Although I never really get anything done, your channel motivates me to keep going back to it as a hobby until one day I make something interesting and fuctional.

    I like your realistic attitude towards indie dev. You see all these other youtuber's working 25 hours a day, 8 days a week on their games and it really gives off an unhealthy expectation as to how you should manage your time. The little things you mentioned such as being on zoom with family, getting carried away talking with friends shows the correct, healthy attitude that all aspiring devs should aim for. Glad you're seeing the success you are.

    The thing I miss most after having to move back in with family is having the freedom and privacy to work in this sort of way. I can't just wake up and get straight to work on a day I feel like doing that. I have to fit my work time, eating schedule, etc around my family's. No longer having the flexibility that I used to makes it very hard to stay motivated.
    If you have that freedom, don't waste it. Look after yourself, keep yourself busy without wearing yourself out, and get your game made while it's the best time to do it. Don't do what I did and put it off until you have to do it on hard mode.

    Hey bud, Andrew Huberman (Neuroscientist) talks about strategies backed by his research and data that suggest 90 minutes of pure work/focus is an ideal amount of time (15-30 min ramp up followed by 60 min pure focus and then 15-30 min cool down). He suggests working optimally people might be able to accomplish these 90 min sessions twice a day, usually one time in the morning and then again in the late afternoon/evening. Agree with you, the whole crunch time thing is rediculous and probably unproducitve ultimately. I think 3-4 hours of work a day is realistically accomplishable, even your 5-6 might be a stretch!

    The intro sequence with the space capsule u made looks great and fits withe the style of the game. I do have an idea about it tho - when the camera zooms on the planet it would be cool to see the zoom go on longer - from the whole planet being in view to going in closer over cloud level, then over a continent, and then over the area where it lands. Bcs the planet is so big it would take a while to get there at that speed.
    Great work man!

    The VR HTML thing - that was totally a thing. It was called VRML. I remember learning about it in the late 90s/early oughts at a computer camp, even then it seemed mostly limited to academic and experimental use but the idea of loading a web page and getting immersed in a 3D environment was pretty incredible. I was much more interested in MUDs and whatnot than VRML - they had so much more utility and much richer content than clunky 3D.

  • @selgesel
    @selgesel 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sorry for the white collar wageslave lingo but even "modern" software development and project management practices such as agile/kanban/scrum tend to attribute around 70% efficiency for a given work day. Of course they refrain from associating actual work hours with story points but the primary resource put into a work item is time, so this "efficiency" ultimately boils down to how much of a given period of time is spent doing "real work", which amounts to around 5-6 hours for an 8-hour work day. With all those arbitrary stuff that goes into estimating story points, this 70% ratio works surprisingly well.
    So, yeah, if you spend 8 hours a day working on something you consider to be a job or task, you'll most likely have done 6 hours of "valuable" work.

    The 8 hour work day was a compromise between factory owners and unionized workers, who wanted to push it down even more. It divided the day into even thirds, which was useful for people who worked in one place and were within walking distance of home. We now exist in a modernized economy where the 8 hour chunk of work is no longer a necessity for a lot of industries (like software and games). Productivity has skyrocketed thanks to technological advances and the erosion of workers rights, but wages haven't kept up. So yeah, 5 or 6 hours a day when you want definitely seems like more than enough. Don't let dead textile manufacturers decide your work life^^

    yeah. i usually do about an hour of programming and even less time doing other stuff like level design or music or graphics. sometimes 2 to 3 hours of programming if i get super into it (or more likely get stuck on one bug for a long time). thanks for making me feel better about it lol

    This is the best video I've ever watched. Speaking facts and focusing on the reality of things.
    As a fellow dev, I can confirm that this is pretty accurate.
    "I don't have a million bucks but who cares" - this made me re-evaluate a lot.
    Thanks a tonne! Greetings from Kenya 👋

    It's cool to get the confirmation that other folks out there aren't really ever working 8h on an 8h work day. I just can't do that, I end up working 5h on a good day, and mostly 2-3 hours (of actual work) on average.

    I saw john romero at a games convention. He sold me a signed copy of masters of doom and a poster. Also told me to try CoronaSDK(now called Solaris), but that was in 2017.

    programming games is how I got started in programming, Then I went on to have a career as a software developer, did a whole bunch of interesting projects, now Im back developing as a hobby.
    Games really push your technical abilities, however I would recommend any aspiring game developer to start out, working as a "normal dev", somewhere you are exposed to reasonably deadlines, and can learn how to prioritize problems. and work consistently.
    Game development as a non Indie is a very toxic, often un-rewarding career, unless you are already experienced, or in a senior function.
