It's really touching how most of gamedevs fell the same way, its like something is connecting all of us, and to see all of those content creators talking about those feelings is just heartwarming, it makes me fell a misterious pleasure to do what i do, it's just beautiful
At first, I was thinking: “huh never happened to me” but the more you talked, the more it creeped in and then I was like “damn... yeah, that feeling... i know it.” Thanks so much for sharing this, it really helps! Keep up the great work! 👌
I'd like to add sometime else: try to make something unique, but keep in mind that there's nothing wrong to copy or take inspiration from an existing genre and put your own twist on it :D
You're absolutely right! I'm not saying you shouldn't copy or be inspired, but that you should make games in genres that inspire you. I know some people that hate the games they make and they only do it to make a quick buck.
Great moral for all art in general imo. Focus on what you feel or care about, don't make choices JUST because of a general audience, listening to your audience is important but don't make something you wouldn't be happy with just for an audience. Great vid
This made me motivated. I’m currently working on a project in my spare time (while studying game dev at school) and the project I chose I am having a lot of fun with. I’m excited to see what I can create!
This video made me discover your channel a while back and it's one of my favorite "gamejam-primer-watch" I like coming back to it, like today, while my head is starting to spark in anticipation for Ludum Dare next week! I love making games, but too often I fall in that self inflicted decision paralysis because I over think it and think too "commercially" about my game making. Working in the industry does make you think a bit like that over time and slowly kills the magic you have when you're still first learning to make games. Hunting that spark back; if that's even possible! anyways, love the channel! Keep up the inspiring work!
I needed this words of encouragement for so long since I had many prototypes without finishing them since I was trying hard more on what people would like to play rather than just make something I really like, I really got inspired by your work and by your experiences through out the process of you making games!!!! Thanks my dude!!!
A brilliant and encouraging little story. Congrats on the success, dude! It'd be interesting to hear how the sales went after a few more months. We hear precious little info like that about pay-what-you-want games.
I 100% second this message. I spent 11 months developing a game with two friends, a student project that started in a game jam. I just really like challenging games and platformers, difficult games like Celeste and Hollow Knight do inspire me a lot, and I just wanted to make one so much! We launched it on Steam on 30th July of last year, and we got noticed by a Polish studio that ported and published our game on the Switch. Now here we are, with our little student project on the Switch, getting much more attention than we ever dreamed of getting!
@@Goodgis It's called Charge Kid. A couple of small channels made a few let's play videos on it so far, it's very challenging. You might find my tweets or the publisher's tweets about it too if you google it. Again, available on the eshop, steam and itch.io as well.
@@Goodgis Thank you so much! The game is also open source, so you can browse the project a bit and learn from it. It's Godot too, so I believe you won't have any trouble taking from it.
WHERE HAS THIS VIDEO BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!?!? I totally needed this in my life. I kept on thinking way too big, just to never finish it in the first place. Thank you. Really.
I'm so glad this little gem of a video appeared on my timeline when I opened up TH-cam tonight. I know this is a old video and probably won't see this comment. But I'm glad I bumped into this video and the talk. I'm in my early 30's slowly learning how to gamedev myself. I chose Game Maker studio 2 for my game engine to learn to start off with something simple. I truly needed to hear this. I am definitely going to stay motivated on getting my game design off the ground. Thanks for the motivation. I do love the gamedev community here so welcoming. :)
your content is amazing and honestly i love how you talk and tackle problems that every gamedev has at some point like tryharding scape creep ecs. Youre great!
this is a really great advice. I decide follow my dream of becoming a indie dev after the pandemic, it's not an easy task, everything is on hold, job, releationships... but follow this dream is helping a lot!
I'm in LOVE with how the 4 character icons in the character select ended up looking. They are so accurate in their N64 style, would love to see how you made them.
This is amazing, I'm just freshly starting out on my journey and definetely thought about taking shortcuts yesterday. As in make it so it takes less time to create and publish fast. But I can just take my time polishing it instead. By the way this game looks amazing. Goodjob making at making this
Thanks for this message. I think I needed to hear it. It is scary to think about if your game will do well, I keep trying to put the pieces together and see what I am doing wrong. But thanks for this message, I will focus on my game because game development makes me happy.
Very accurate. Chasing trends or the idea of "success", rather than self expression, is likely to be a road to failure. You won't have the creativity to create a good game You won't have the determination to finish it
I like really complex games and I like designing complex games. I was worried people would hate my games because of that. It's really reassuring to watch this video. Thanks.
I've definitely fallen victim to this myself. I found that once I had a secure job that I was happy with, the pressure to release things that made money went away and now I'm able to just enjoy the process of game dev whenever time allows and I want to. Really great production value, and love the monkey ball inspiration!
I 100% agree. I think having a job is so important while trying to launch your game dev career. The stress of having to make money just chokes any sort of creativity or fun out of the process. Also thanks so much! :D
This is awesome man. I think a lot of people don't respect this topic in game dev and it's nice to see you touch up on it. Also glad to see you try out Godot 3D! I'm thinking of trying this out myself. I've never made a 3D game before and I've been wanting to try it out for a while now. I poked around in unity but I think I've been spoiled by Godot too much cause I hated my short experience with unity lol.
After seeing a lot of indie developers on TH-cam push things like marketing and getting your game to a wide audience, it's refreshing to see someone make a game straight from their heart with no obsession over what others would think and (hopefully) no extreme crunch.
Nah, I've used Unity's particle system. Dani, the milk man, LIES! haha Godot has a fantastic particle system AND my game doesn't crash every 5 seconds! :D
this video has given me so much inspiration, I really wish I could work on the game I'm developing right now but the best I can do is pixel art for it since I am visiting some of my family right now and don't have access to the computer with my game projects, but *anyways I wish that every programmer, artist, story writer and every other game developer has a good day, and hope that your games get played a lot :)
cool video,really interesting content you're uploading, commenting to boost in the algorithm because honestly channels like yours need more exposure. you got my sub man
The lesson on this video is pretty good, and it doesn’t just apply to coding. Trust me, I know that from experience. Wow, this game is good! the silliness of just hitting a present combined with the fast pace of the game makes for some light hearted fun. It would be pretty cool if you could make it open source. I would love to make custom levels with this.
_omg you got 6.66k subscribers be careful!!!!!!!!!!!1!11!1_ but with quality content like this I thought you would have at least 66.6k before checking, great video! Thanks for the advices, gonna try this game out now :)
2:55 I understood "but this time I make it more winter themed and maybe you knock off the president instead of a bar of soap" and I was like, I don't see the connection to winter, but sure, why not..
Goodgis (dunno if I can call you Mark haha), this video can be 3 years old already, but it resonates with me today. At the beginning of this year, I tried (twice) to make a game about breaking blocks on the phone, like something to "smash" your screen and get points (the second iteration was more doing gestures tho). I tried because people love small dumb phone games that you just open and play quickly (me included), and this way I could make a hit or at least a good sum of money with ads (and I hate ads in games, look how far we go sometimes for money ugh). Those were some of the most miserable months in game development I had so far. I ditched the ideas and started more interesting projects. I still feel I threw time away but at the same time, I keep repeating to myself that I learned a lot at that time. I am still trying to succeed in making games, trying to make something final and launch (and also sell it, not saying much, but have been unemployed for almost 2 years now heh). Keep up the great content o/ I have followed you for a while and have to tell you your content is very inspirational so thanks for it :)
Hey bro, This is amazing! I really love game developing and I remember about a year ago I spent months trying to learn Unity and C#. I then took a break for a while, took to blender and completely forgot how to do anything in unity lol. I have been watching all of your videos (literally) and they are really helpful and entertaining :) Before I get properly back into game development I might look into Godot because your video on Godot vs Unity really changed my mind so I guess I'll see! Also when will the next Firith game jam be? I might participate 🤞Anyway have a good day, your really underrated, and Stay epic!
Thank you so much... im trynna make a game called: breadboi: misson to the toaster i was gonna make some unrelated lore to be able to hold more of a fandom. even though i didnt want lore.. ive decided to scrap that because of this! thank you thank you thank you!
Good point that we all must remind our selves about. If you develop to live that's no bad thing but if you work alone just be careful of burning out . that's a must to know thing . I just had a conversation with someone about this. I didn't know that I want to be an indie game developer. I alawys remember how I came at the first place. Thanks to youtube algorithm it recommend me to watch a game jam because I was watching speed running the whole time. Inspired me to know more about this jorney approximately 5.5 years ago. I didn't make a single cent yet . But I enjoy it I still want to create games it's like Lego playfield .Yes I want to make money but I don't rip-off replication of popular games . I want to polish my games even if it takes years . If I want money I would be a TH-camr. It's the same thing but from other prespactive game development is much much bigger challenging yet rewarding job . Thanks for sharing this
This video I guess resonates with me because Im just wrapping up learning Godot and Im sorta in a limbo of what kind of game I should make that is popular and trendy (For example my friends telling me to make a class based shooter.) but this video sorta told me that no, I dont need to "Try Hard" to make a game that in the end I dont enjoy and that I dont want to play and instead make a game that I want to make and play. (Like my monster collection game Ive been planning.)
If you are new to Game Dev, I recommend trying to make a clone of simple games like Flappy Bird. It will challenge what you know about game dev and it gives you a very clear defined goal to accomplish. Don't let this video discourage you from trying to make a game just like the game you want to re-make. You should go make it.

"Well ya, its gotta look realistic"
Haha, I'm so used to using cycles that I didn't even think about it.
@@Goodgis Now that you said it.... I'm doing exactly the same.
Even if is low poly looks good with cycles xd
Haha, when you first showed the game footage of your game I actually thought it was an actual N64 game from back in the day. Love it!
That's a huge compliment! :D Thanks so much.

My pleasure! Thanks, Jonathan!
just played the game and damn I had a smile on my face so much playing it. Usually I'm pretty quite when playing games but this made me shout
Haha I'm glad you enjoyed it. That's literally the best thing for a game dev to hear! :D

I always believe that you should make a game you will enjoy playing. If you like it, chances are, other will enjoy it too.
I completely agree!
Overworked with little too no work to actually show for it. Well if that doesn't sum it up perfectly I don't know anymore.
Perfect!

Thanks for sharing this
That's a great point! :D
I agree... I should start implementing this...
Heck yeah! :D
@@Goodgis :) already did and have freaking launched a game on PlayStore because of you, thanks a lot!!
Dude tryharding is like being the VOODOO's game developer
Got 'Em!

So glad! :D
Congratulations 👏👏👏
Thank you so much! :D
I love it well said brother!
:D
Game looks fun, nice one! What's the song playing during the accidental success ~(5:39 - 7:17) section?
Thanks, it's called Mom Wants Grandkids - Single Friend
This video I guess resonates with me because Im just wrapping up learning Godot and Im sorta in a limbo of what kind of game I should make that is popular and trendy (For example my friends telling me to make a class based shooter.) but this video sorta told me that no, I dont need to "Try Hard" to make a game that in the end I dont enjoy and that I dont want to play and instead make a game that I want to make and play. (Like my monster collection game Ive been planning.)
Hey, make the game you want to play then try to add some popular elements to find a middle ground!
Fantastic video!
Thank you very much! :D
If you are new to Game Dev, I recommend trying to make a clone of simple games like Flappy Bird. It will challenge what you know about game dev and it gives you a very clear defined goal to accomplish. Don't let this video discourage you from trying to make a game just like the game you want to re-make. You should go make it.
I'm not saying don't make flappy bird. I'm just saying you should make games you like to play. :D not for money.
