    I used Unity and Unreal game engine. Honestly both are great. But Godot is very limited and I don't like it's multiple programming language system. I think for mobile game market Unity is better than Unreal.

    Unreal Engine has more features than a Swiss Army knife, but as a solo developer, you'll never use most of them. Plus, learning it all is like trying to drink from a firehose. Godot is great out of the box, but unless you’re making a 3D game, you'll hit a dead end faster than a GPS on April Fools' Day. Unity, on the other hand, is the best choice. It’s simple, straightforward, and won’t leave you scratching your head. Imagine looking at Unreal and thinking, "GameMode base blueprint, level blueprint, Spring Arm, attach camera to Spring Arm, set rotation." It's like solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded! I’m saying this to help you out because I also thought Unreal was the best. But once you dive in, it’s like they made everything as complicated as possible. Unreal in a nutshell: "making the simple complicated." Do me a favor, watch a tutorial for making a fishing game in Unreal versus Unity. In Unity, it’s a breeze, your brain just clicks. In Unreal, it’s like trying to understand quantum physics just to make a character move. No wonder new game developers avoid Unreal like the plague!

    You don't REALLY need to make a small game. Just know the bigger the project, the longer it will take. Not everyone is living off game dev, so not necessarily a concern. Realistically, Id say making a big one, piece by piece is just making tons of small games. Not much difference, but you get a potentially better return if it is particularly good. Small games may be a good idea as taking break for a month to make for a refresh when you start burning out, and testing out releasing a full game on the side at the same time. If you do it even smarter, maybe a small game made centered around a mechanic you will need in the main game anyways, so that you can do both at once. Just depends how smartly you do things. I know some people don't got jack for good game ideas mechanically or thematically, but just like making things. So maybe small games are a need for them to just spitball and find something that would stick. Others have a fantastic idea, but just need to be able to commit to it fully. Basically, no one advice is right, just depends on the individual. I mean, look at stardew valley. Not a small game by any means, but he did it and massively succeeded. Just know yourself, what your genuinely willing to commit to, and at LEAST do some research to kinda refine your understanding on what you comiting to. Not good to go big if you know you would be one to lose it at any major roadblocks that are difficult, takes a ton of boring tedious time with very little return by comparison sometimes; Have to have the resolution to see it through.

    Happened to my friend a week ago. We managed to get the scammers banned within 2-3 days. They still had the skins in the inventory. But as u said steam doesnt help at all. They keep sending AI-generated messages and closing the ticket. I still wonder how they get FULL Access to the account? I mean, to change the profile and know all your information requires full access. I dont get it. (Are u German?)

    • @Rix1Dev

    It a good idea to participate in game jams. By doing so, you will have a theme and a deadline to achieve, forcing you to finish your game. That what I will do my self. I recently stared on my big game and I'm new to game dev anyway, but by participating in game jams you will finish your work in a specific amount of time. You are forced anyway.

    One more, do a simple version of your dream game and release it. After some time release the next version but better. And so on. One example is the Bloons TD series. Which started as a simple flash game.

  • @dreamingacacia

    Well I'm making my dream game, but it's not just a single game. It's the process which I'll publish different games every now and then in order to learn new systems. One day, that dream game will become reality. It's gonna take a lot of time but at least I'm not setting myself up for high risk journey.

    GDD contained all the detail about the game project while GDR only contained the schedule which only a section in GDD. You gotta work on full GDD if you want to make a proper game, but you can use the simplified version if you're still learning and only working on "tiny games" or even "mini games".

    u forgot a very important point, If anyone wants to use unreal engine 5, Ur pc needs to be a beast build, U cant really run the game engine on low end pcs or either pcs with 1060 Nvidia graphics card, It might run for couple of mins or hours even but then the most annoying thing will happen, The engine will crash, and honestly tht is just frustrating as hell. Just saying if ur pc is low end, then u should use Godot engine or unity n make simple ps1 style graphics game or 2d. Saying this from experience of using all 3 engines lol

    well they aint that wrong I made 0 Games since 2014 because of the trend of being a Solo dev you need to learn everything (and as I did) now I'm got 10 years of skills in 3D art, Programming and mastered more than 10 DCC tools About Thomas Brush, in maybe 2016~2017 I was asking GameDev UA-camrs about, after all the videos they make, how can I really do the game that I will feel like I made a game, His answer was "Start small" and that was the only thing, and he was 100% right, starting small != keep making small stickman games, and not jump on Zelda or Skyrim already! The majority of us were about to give up the cause of starting to think big when our skills and computers could not keep up. Dont forget that, the more we are beginners, the more we do things with passion only passion, and when time passes, even learning becomes a decision

    Make teeny tiny smally itti bitty games that takes 1 year to make and 10 mins to finish.😅😂😊 j/k My recommendation is to small game jams (1 week long at most). Get a taste of it, learn how to use the tools, then do a game that takes 1 hour to finish 😊

  • @Uhfgood
    @Uhfgood 26 днів тому

    There's another kind of philosophy vaguely called "Aim for the starts and hit the moon." Meaning you shouldn't limit yourself. Just like 'tutorial hell' you could end up in "small game hell" where you never even attempt your dream game because everyone else is always telling you to start small. While starting small may be good for some, for others it may not be. Frankly I'm tired of hearing people say make a bunch of small games.

    • @dracofells5390
      @dracofells5390 11 днів тому

      I think its important to make at least one small game and then a big one. Big games have such different requirements that making small games is useless as practice. 100 small games won't teach you about multithreading, asynchronous techniques and loading/unloading data dynamically. Those games are too small to even need it, it would be overkill and a waste of time. Features like this are however requirements for big games that have a lot of content. The pipelines are also massively different. A small game or even one like undertale can and does have switch statements for every single line of dialogue. You can't do that with branching paths or something like BG3. You have to invent a whole pipeline a way to communicate and organize. Small games teach small thinking. Prototyping and quick efficient techniques. Big games teach high concepts, optimization and management. As someone solo developing a very ambitious game I've learned more working on it than I did in 4 years of university courses. Learning what to worry about and what not to is hard. But I definitely feel way smarter now than I was before. Way more experienced. I'd feel confident on a AAA team not that I'd want to or could get a role on one nowadays with the industry being... well.. shit.

    I don't get it, you are not literally paying yourself for making your game, you are doing it because you like it. Why calculate how many hours it would take to finish it and how much money therefore it would have cost for someone else if you were doing it for them? Why would it matter? The important thing is that you have some income or savings or a way to live trought the development process. Or what am I missing here?

    If you want to learn a engine fast then 1.Take some days and play with the engine UI and basic stuff like adding a cube once u get comfortable with the UI then 2. Take a simple game like flappy bird (for unreal engine u should start with 3d games as unreal is not much good with 2d) then replicate the game by googling everything like how to add gameobjects/actors,how to make the object fall down under gravity and so on and dont watch a full tutorial on how to make that game. Now u should feel comfortable with the engine 3. Now u can start working on your game

    Also another tip - when making the smaller games, you should include (or even base them around) features that you envision will be in your dream game. That way when you come to your dream game, you already have a whole bunch of stuff made that's already been tested and refined in the field, and you can focus more on bringing those things together rather than having to build them from scratch, and you'll also know (or at least have a good idea) if people will find those things fun or not.
