I like what you say about art. I know I am bad at it, and I know I will replace it when I am out of prototype stage. But I still try to do my best and put in a lot of time into it or hold off on it. But I made a rule for my self to limit the Tim for 2d art to less then 3 min and one or two colors but max 3 in rare cases.

You 100% should make a short with this clip 4:27 XDDD I'd probably listen to it on loop for hours, and I'd definitely send it to all my game designer friends XD

I'm happy to have stumbled on this channel. I enjoy the effort and soul you put into it.

Honestly I'll never fault someone for trying and failing. Many people out there have the means and the opportunities to grow and move towards their dreams but actively choose not to. I'll gladly take being a failure over being a spectator any day of the week. And the best part of failing( at least in the creative field) is that you can always try again.

What a great video! I'm a mega fan for sure

I didnt know Bam was into computer science.

Grats dude bro mate bra breh man cuz I'll send my project in when I have more than 3 minutes of game play.

this is just a comment to summon a stat boost from the algorithm for you lol

First! I just found your channel, really like your format, I'll definitely be sending my game in when there's enough to show off

Shows Fiverr... proceeds to not link it in any way, shape, or form. Attempts to search fiverr, nothing comes up....

Great video! I think "One Above All" would be a good title that has religious themes without being specifically tied to a real life faith, plus fits really well with the battle royale concept.

Legendary short 🙌

God damn, I DO love programming explosions!

_Detail_ is also something that plays into visual hieararchy. Things that are more (or, sometimes, less) detailed will stand out and catch our attention. It is also important to pay attention to not _creating a misleading visual hierarchy by mistake._ Everything that serves to clarify the picture will do the opposite where it's used for things that aren't important. While adding visual details, effects, animation and colour can certainly make something _prettier_ and more visually appealing, it can easily have the side effect of drowning the actually important parts in the background noise. Modern AAA games really struggle with this---primarily ones with "realistic" visuals but often also more stylized or anime-esque games. Often everything kind of blurs together so developers have to "over-correct" by covering everything in yellow paint or floating arrows to compensate for the lack of natural visual direction.

No, this is wrong. The finance care about whether you're solo or small team. if you're solo dev even your game sold only 10k copy it's decent income, while you're on big team sold 100k copy means your company will bankrupt soon.

"He loves and hates the GDD, just like he loves and hates himself." 😅 On one hand, the one or two times I made a nice GDD for myself before trying to make a silly game or a clone were the times where I got the furthest in development (although never finished anything because game dev is just a hobby for me and life gets in the way all too often...), but on the other, I've made at least a dozen attempts to make a GDD first and I just couldn't get through it, so I put the project/idea down. There something really antithetical to my brain about GDDs, cause I often am able to sit down and code a feature, but I have a hard time describing it beforehand. I guess I just don't have enough experience to be able to imagine the idea in a more concrete form.

great vid, thanks for sharing i am inspired now

You're vids are really good, better than a lot of new gdc talks I've watched, and I've watched 100s of them. I have bad anxiety so I can relate to thinking I'm gonna be harshly scrutinized for anything I want to create, and I end up being my own harshest critic ironically.

Emojis just dropped:

Really good video. Thanks for the clear explanation you gain a sub with this quality video look forward to your next one.

I completely understood this concept but I didn't know there was a term for it. Thank you.

I slowly been adding visual cues to my game, and they indeed really helped make it look more polished. But it's probably important to strike a balance, since too many attention-grabbing effects could overwhelm the player.

I know this isn't the point of the video, but damn, that 8-bit track in the game shown in the intro is so catchy

A very well done video! You explained the thought process, went in to the details and linked everything together, in a cohesive manner. This popped up on my feed and watched it during lunch, but got so into it I couldn't stop to continue working. Thank you for the insights and the work you put into it!

what is that soccer game called at 9:44 ?

I don't create video games, but I've been working on board games and think this could work just as well for that! Great recommendations and philosophies all around!

Wow, I can feel it already, this game will be cool as hell! Thanks, Satan. PS I literally died on "This fu**ing guy" health bar. :'D

I'm usually in the minority in that I do every single tutorial I come across but some devs go way beyond reasonable that I feel exactly like you in this. shut up and let me play the game!

Wow, Satan is a huge get for the channel. I had no idea he knew how to play guitar either.

I think the game would benefit being more edgy. this doesn't look that hellish. otherwise nice premise of a city builder set in hell.

He is the Messiah is a solid name

It looks like the link to your Fiverr profile doesn't work when clicked from UA-cam. I had to copy and paste it from the description to take a look at it ^_^U Additionally, I can't click on the 'Contact Me' button or see any of the gigs you mentioned in the video. Could this be because I'm in Spain, or is it because you were offline? If possible, you should allow people to send you messages even when you are offline, just in case :)

Some great insights here, thank you!

Prophecy? that's old point n click game for PC I've played years ago. I couldn't recall the dev but I can recall that it has 3 hints for player similar to Goblins 2. It also features a summonable bat which could reward you with gold if you give him fruits.

If it is a prophet based battle Royale where you are trying to be the best prophet out of several different people "most-radamus" might be a fun title

What application are you using for this example game design document?

This is a wonderful video regarding game design documents! Thank you for the better details than the other videos I have watched. It should make my documents even more digestible.

I know there are many profound phases in this video. My favorite one is "Buy my banana"

Hi folks - thanks to everyone who's let me know that the fiverr link wasn't working. Should be ok now! www.fiverr.com/s/yvj09PA

fiverr links doesn't work for me. just the overview of the game dev category there

Btw, Dunning-Kruger effect is disproven and cannot be replicated in new studies. It's no longer recognized by cognitive science, we should make an effort to NOT use it to explain observations, because the effect provably does not exist.

Looking at a cubic kiliometer of Marble and seeing the human size venus sculpture inside!

your fiverr link does not work

wonderful Doc! Still haven'T sent ya anything cuz I ain't ready but you dropped this when i needed to hear your view about this! Honestly, I'm not procrastinating : looking for a job in game testing or anything in a game company to get experience so when i'm ready i can start a serious game design job at any role.... so I'm waiting till next month to finish my game design document / conception dossier, and then send it to you!! It's still in the works daily, it is moving forward (i create akk kinds of sutff for a minimum of 1-2 hours a day) but i am in the process of changing works, so livelyhood gotta be secured before I complete that hobby project...but I'll draw character concepts, add more details to put in the conception document,m and later to add to a bible for hte game. I'll compose music with LMMs free DAW, super game boy "freeboy" sound tool, and I'll burst out a melody or some beats then jam for half an hour minimum ... anything to get 2 hours of creativity per day out in my leisure time aside work. Not having a job now puts some stress so finding the new one takes a lil priority to completing a semi-pro indy sdossier for you to dissect and roast to help me learn how to design a fun new game for my first project. The "Wizard Squire: the mage's right hand" is an ongoing project ints in larvae stage!

This has been really helpful. I've been fiddling way to long on my GDD for things that aren't even certain.

In today's episode of Dr Joe, a new entry added to my journal: "14 forms of fun". Thank you for your work!
