Hey, my daughter and I spent the last hour playing your game and now she's asking me to buy her a plant to care for.
Thank you so much for making it, it made our day.
W
W dad W daughter
That's so wholesome, love it :D
this is the sweetest thing I've seen on this website
This dad is a walking W
that waterfall gurgle caught me off guard 😂
Lol’d all by myself 😂. Top tier content.
thats was the exactly moment where I subscribe so yeah same
SAME lol. It sent me
Same lmao. That scene only made me subs him 😂😅
He earned my sub at this very point
Hey y'all, sorry for the previous title/thumbnail "Making a game in Godot with no experience". I meant it as "no experience with the Godot engine", but I see now that it totally comes off as "no experience with game development", which was misleading and not my intention. The title and thumbnail on the video has been updated to be more accurate, I'll do my best to make sure it doesn't happen again!
Thank you all tremendously for your support recently, can't wait to drop the next video 😄
Low key, that water level indicator on the pot would be an amazing invention IRL.
Hydroculture pots often have water level indicators. Since we have repotted all of our plants into hydrocultures, their death reates because of of over- or underwatering have drastically improved :D This way you can even see how each plant has a different drinking style. Even the same plants (litarally, they are mother and children) drink so differently. One drinks slow and steady and the other just nothing until one day it has a massive thirst and empties all of the water at once.
So yea, it is an amazing invention irl xD
relatively easy to do with an arduino and a moisture sensor, it's also fairly cheap, use an RGB led for feedback
When I was growing up in the 90s, we had pots with a low-tech version of that. The water goes in a reservoir in the bottom of the pot and soaks up a ribbon into the top. There's a captive bead on a post in the reservoir which floats.
@@terryriley6410 "relatively easy" shut up nerd
you missed the perfect chance to call this game Morticulture
Oh my gosh this video was AWESOME! 🤣 The Unity vamp joke and the waterfall joke were both hilarious! And the game is absolutely adorable and beautifully done! I'm subscribing!
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 I've already put my trust in Jesus Christ ✝️🌿 I've been saved by Jesus for a long time. He's the True Vine, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Thanks for evangelizing, go for more people's comments. That's what I do!
@@djlclopez128 wholesome comment
bro has no enemies
I’m so happy that one of my favorite game devs tried out godot!
As an open source simp myself... I feel the same😢
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5go away
You mad a better game than I did with 5 years of godot lmao
3 years of godot here, and I agree as well. lol
At the start he said that he used Unity for the first 6 years of his game dev. This is the first video of his that I've seen so I have no idea how many years of game dev he's done total. Let's say he's spent 6 years on Unreal as well, that means he has 12 years of game dev experience.
If you keep at it, I'm sure you'll be able to make games as good as or better than his! He just has more experience
@@chritical_ep thanks for the encouragement. I really appreciate it
@@RenderingUser this is so wholesome. Good luck on your gamedev man
THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! you HAVE to expand on it, there's so much more potential, you should add fruit plants which you could pick fruit from with the shears, and sell the fruit in the shop for alot of money, you could also have a juicer in the shop which could juice the fruit to sell for even more!
edit: tysm this is the most likes ive ever gotten on a comment
Cool idea!
I think it would be interesting if you could selectively breed and cross breed the plants
@@ShawcatDevI think you could also add some enemies too that could add more life.. like certain bugs that eat the plants and make them sick.. this could mean you could add fly trap plants to protect your plants as well. Another idea that you can do is add other npcs like irl people knocking over plants because people are clumsy
@@DeusExNihilo that is an even better idea!
@@MatchuB22 i love the bug+flytrap idea, not so much the people idea
Omigod, that water animation reaction. I almost choked. Game looks great!
The true test: what does your mum think of the game?
What is this sh!t? I told you being a doctor was a good idea. Failure!!!
The cactus should live longer without water
That's really good insight
Dude… this was awesome, but you forgot the most obvious customisation element.
Hats.
You need to add customisable hats.
HATS GO BRRRRRRRRRR
very fun and educational. enjoyed learning how you process your ideas to fruition!
i love how you can actually see the semicolons in your gdscript at 7:15
Oh my gosh I didn't notice that! That's hilarious!!!
I couldn't kick the habit
@@ShawcatDevwhich os you use generally?
Perfect;
Very cool devlog!
Really liked the storytelling with the animation clips. :D
This is the first game-making video I've ever watched and immediately subscribed to your channel. You're funny. Keep up the good work.
Wow, just started with Godot (literally the first day) and wanted to watch something related before going to bed.. Your video blew me away :D unexpectedly funny. Thanks mate, will play the game tomorrow.
Godot is an absolute joy to use. I've been a Unity developer for many years, and switching to Godot makes me feel like I was living a lie!
I JUST started learning game development and started with Unity (on my 3rd day). Do you think I should stop and try Godot?
@@MrBoxingcrazysal That's a hard question to answer. Unity has some good things about it, but if you're doing 2D Godot blows it away in basically every aspect. Really there's no reason to use Unity. Here's an example to help answer your question. You want to place a sprite at a specific pixel coordinate. In unity you bash you head against the wall for hours trying to figure it out, in Godot you enter the location in the editor and it's there.
@@MrBoxingcrazysalI’m just starting development, and am still trying to find a good engine to use. What did you end up choosing and why? (I feel like it’d be important to not that I plan on making primarily 2d games, but I’d like to have the option of making a 3d game)
Great video as always. Your drawings are really good. I'm jealous of programmers that can draw lol.
And oh my you absolutely blew up with that horror game video. Congratulations you deserve it.
> I'm jealous of programmers that can draw lol
same
I am a programmer who can draw....but I can neither draw or program well. I'm working on both things though.
@@blackcitadel9 haha keep at it. I can program pretty well but cannot draw to save my life. (BUT I did many of sprites in latest game so I'm learning also)
I'm an artist who can't do programming and I'm also jealous
seeing your creative process was really inspiring, thank you!
You are a wonderful story teller. Never touched a game design programme but you made me want to do something. Also your art and narration style is really vibrant and delightful, reminds me of a silly game on PS Vita called Frobisher Says.
Great video! It's nice to see you enjoyed using Godot :D
This is AMAZING! This is the first video i watch from this channel and i'm surprised by it only having 42k subs. The level of quality and dedication put into every second of this video is palpable and the animations are charming and fun. The music choices, the editing, the humor and obviously the gamedev, each part of this video is just, great. This video just really gave me such a good impression that it made write this comment lol. Subscribed and ready to watch this channel grow (like the plants!)
For someone who is very new to this sort of game design this was a really nice fast paced but informational video on Godot and your process in general. Thanks !
This is a S-tier level video. The love and care you put into Living For Plants was heartwarming, your art-style is amazing, and god damn the waterfall drinking bit had me dyingggggg. Can't wait to play the game!!!
Hilarious editing & animations dude lmao
Production quality through the roof, instant sub :O
love this! really makes me inspired to continue my own godot projects :) I loooove how you're showing all the steps you landed on after playtesting each step a bit and the customization parts were fun to see progress because it really does feel like an old flash game with this, especially with the timing and art style! you have a really cool way of presenting the progress/example explainers inbetween, makes me feel a bit like I've temporarily stepped into 2006 haha. lol I started using godot in 2014 for an animation project and it's amazing to see how far the community has come that people are even switching to godot for their 2D games 😂thanks for the video, this was really fun! 🎉
Always happy to see people try Godot!
Wow! I love your editing style, and your humor! You got my sub on the water gurgling! Would you ever consider doing a tutorial series for your Godot adventures?
your game is so cute, and it's really nice to see your flow of ideas about gameplay and other things, like really cool video man, thank you!
This is awesome and I'd love to see this transformed into a tutorial or example project for people trying to get into Godot.
This is incredibly inspiring, thank you for taking the time to make this video and share it with all of us!
wait this is really good. you should expand making it possible to have a saving mode where you can fly to other planets and find new plant there
Great looking game! I'd love to see this as a Godot tutorial series as someone with very little programming knowledge that would love to understand how to create games like this in Godot!
your presentation skills are impeccable, always a pleasure to watch!
Love how this game is looking! Thanks, that was very inspiring
I really need a tutorial on everything man. Especially the drawings you did and ... All of them. This video really made me to love making games again and starting again
Fantastic job! This video encourages me to learning Godot and improve myself. Thank you so much! Much love from Turkiye ❤❤
Bro your animations are so frickin funny, I love it!
went straight to playing your game after seeing this, really enjoyed it.. btw your videos are fun to watch XD
We newbies need a tutorial series about how this was made. It's all I want for Christmas. :( Great video Shaw.
Inspiring story and project. Thanks for sharing the making of process.
Super super rad video!! Love the game, and the 5 day timeline is mad impressive.
gosh i love how much fun you had making this game! It turned out amazing!
This is so good!! I love Godot, watching people pick it up is always a blast :D
I Love these videos, they're entertaining and funny, great job!
Your humor succeeds and the video was engaging, enjoyed being along for the ride
I love this! Incredibly creative!
dude, that's awesome! great work!
Inspirational! Thank you so much for sharing. Not to mention the game turned out incredible! I’d love to play it! I want more plants! More! More!!!!
Thanks again ❤
This was actually entertaining to the level of Randy to me.
Good stuff man - You're gonna blow up here soon!
5 days is all it took you to go from concept to playable. Incredible. Ive got a concept and story for a game and absolutely no skills to make it with. Especially the art skill.
This was very impressive and adorable
I'm like, at the same point than you are my dude T-T
story is nothing for games, it's the least important or usable aspect. players do stuff, not watch a story. figure out what the player does first or write a novel, film, etc instead.
@@terryriley6410 Story that serves the gameplay is bland. Gameplay that serves the story gives it narrative weight that people want. Runescape is a clicking simulator, but story and progression give those clicks meaning and fun even though you could just click your desktop. The two, story and gameplay, have to work together.
And for the record I have the gameplay concepts as well, but they dont matter much if I havent the resources to get it made or make it myself.
@@CreativeExcusesGaming This is a bad take. Runescape has deep systems all balanced to give you a satisfying gameplay. It's fairly useless to say "X is a clicking game you could just click the desktop". It's as meaningful as saying every novel is just a bunch of letters and page turning, you could read the ABC printed thousands times on pages and have the same experience as reading Hamlet.
Nope.
It's cool if a game has good story that complements the gameplay. But games are about play first, not stories, which is why we talk about gameplay, not storytime. Sooner you realize that the better game you'll design, or the better medium you'll pick for your burning desire to express yourself. Don't bother learning to code and making games if what you really want is to tell stories. Just tell them.
@@terryriley6410 Gameplay is functionally a story telling (or story creating) tool. Stories are how humans make sense of and make meaning in the world. Runescape’s systems all feed a story and feeling of difficult, grindy progress and experience. The core gameplay loops are mostly the same, click and wait, or click on a rhythm. And yet it is a vastly different game than a game like geometry dash which is also essentially push a button and wait or push a button to a rhythm.
It is the meaning behind the gameplay just like it is the meaning behind the words and letters in a novel that make it satisfying. A core gameplay loop is a core story of what you do, and why you do it.
And finally, Im not sure what reviewers you watch but pretty much all of them talk about story AND gameplay. Games like The Last of Us, God of War, Final
Fantasy, Baldur’s Gate, Stardew Valley, and so so so many more absolutely beloved games are all as much about their story as they are their gameplay. Story gives gameplay context and meaning which helps make gameplay satisfying and fun.
amazing video just so happened to be making a new unity project and then after your video ended I went screw it and I've now decided to revert back to godot
Wow, your game turned out great!
Amazing game and an amazing video! Glad I stumbled into you, subbed!
This is so cute! Thank you for sharing your progress on this game, it's was really fun to see it all come together.
Love it and supported the game! It is so relaxing! Would love to see if you do more to it.
Thanks for sharing your experience (also cool and funny vid). Good luck, get paid well for your job!
Love the art style!
Huge respect for your development skills and knowing what you want. This is such a calming game, I loved it. You are a legend.
what an amazing and inspiring work .. i'm impressed about your mindset ... keep up
Fantastic video! Got me more excited to try it out :D
Love it. Glad to see more people getting into godot. Also, horticulture games just rock! I was blown away by the aesthetics given the time constraint.
***Btw, not trying to be that guy, but you may want to check your music attribution. That's definitely Zelda OoT's Gerudu Valley in the beginning lol. I'm no YTber so I don't know if that even matters, but thought I'd make mention :) ***
I do not know how I stopped here, but enjoyed a lot. You are incredible talented, congratulations!
Cool game, I gave it a go and really enjoyed it ;) Great idea with the leaf pivot! ;)
New sub! Hilarious video and really nice game! 5 days is pretty nuts my dude
I've watched a few Godot videos lately, but this one is my favorite. It's approachable and the game is very cute. More importantly, the presentation style is more in line with how I think so, overall, extremely useful to me. Loved it.
4:03 Makes water, starts waterboarding himself
I recently got the Godot game bundle off of humble bundle and have been nervous about cracking it open! Thanks for showing it off a little bit, Ifeel more confident to try and tackle it now!
Somehow it was so funny how gradually you were adding difficulty to the game while learning. Absolutely good example of how to face the learning of a new program. Also I don't feel so scare to start with Godot. Thank you!!
the music in the beginning!!!! i love that track, bowsers inside story was so good
Please make more random game dev vids like this, im hooked with your content but there aint enough :')
I saw it in a top 10 I didn't know this is your game, i love every aspect of it bro, great job.
Love to see some love for Godot. Also i could see your excitement for the project rising with each new feature you added. Know that feel and how hard it is to stop.
Also.. totally didn't just sub for the "wrong person" joke.
4:40 I didn't notice Patrick the first time I saw this
Small tip: if you want to change color of a sprite you can "modulate" it, which can save a lot of work!
I loved this video, your really funny and engaging. You wear many hats I see! I admire your talent
This was an amazing video, I loved this
i love your game and your communication style!!! new sub here ❤
Please upload more videos. You are so entertaining ❤
The small animations between the clips were very funny
Just had a crack at the game. The music is so peaceful. Great video and great game!
Just make it look so easy...that' awesome dude!
Damn bro, your editing is really good
Where have you been in my whole life? Subscribed 🤩
Oh my god I remember playing this game on itchio and absolutely loving it. Can't believe I just came across this video. I have always wanted to create a simple simulation game like this. You really inspired me to get started on it ❤️
This looked so fun and inspired me, best video ive seen today
Sick, great work!
This video was amazing and SO funny! I loved it, please continue making more! New subscriber here
You are a legend mate. subscribed.
This Is AWESOME DUDE!, thank you!
BRO THIS IS INSANE, CONGRATULATIONS
What a great video. A nice short summary, you didn't split this out into a month-long, tiresome series, the animations were great, the jokes going through were funny and well thought out. Just a great video.
Dude your humour is amazing, i'm working while watching the video and am laughing far too much for doing a vat return...
LMAO the jokes and animations got me to subscribe. Love it.
This video was very fun to watch! I actually laughed alone (which is a very uncommon thing haha!) in that part where you create an waterfall (4:03) damn that was funny hahahaha! The game looks nice! Going to play right now! Nice video buddy ^^
Wow I really love that games its like a little to the left or unpacking. I kinda wish you'd release it as a full game I'd buy it.
Came here to learn about Godot since I've only tried Unity and I didn't really like it.
Stayed for the entartainment. Bro this video was so good!!!! And you also said what your oppinion was, so I still got my answers! Thanks a lot and stay happy making games!
