4:27, dude, i made a video similar to yours and did the exact same thing of reapeating words and counting it in the video, small world

I spent 4.5 years on my very first game (aged 40!) - a colony builder on the back of a spacefaring turtle. I released it into EA for 11 months, then 1.0. It has sold ~5,400 copies on Steam and 4,600 on other platforms (mostly at a greatly reduced price), so I'm counting it as a win. Hopefully game #2 can do at least twice as well... I also couldn't see myself making something small, or 2D. It does help that I've been coding for 2 decades before starting game dev.

for me the best thing that helped me learning game dev is unity and 2D and top down games lol

Good luck on your journey!

2 or 3 years ago I started to make my own game too and I'm still making it cuz I take like 6 month breaks or more. It's not that big of a game but I want it to be kinda realistic looking with no bugs and also completely free, so I'm focusing on those 3 things. I also can't do 3D models or music/sounds, so I use free models that I find online. I'm an IT guy too but I also watch tutorial videos, tho I only watch them for things I have no clue about or when I get stuck somewhere. Like if I know that I won't make guns in my game, then I won't look at gun tutorials, but instead code my own thing in the game and if I get stuck, then search up a tutorial quick to help me move forward. Currently I'm stuck with animations and haven't touched the game for almost a year now but a big part of the game is already done so I hope I can finish it in the near future. I also play making 6 or 7 more games as the sequal for this game so I hope that I can make those ones faster and better than the first game

Bruh I'll keep trying random crap without experience every chance I get... recommended or not there's literally money involved in learning information given every time... might as well just have hands-on experience instead. I RECOMMEND getting into it and keep at it while taking breaks in between. Helps mental health AND gives way to some progress. You will also not only feel satisfied by what you accomplished but you will also have taken one step closer to your goal.

Kinda glad you’re doing this, because honestly I’m stubborn and i have absolutely no experience with it game development but I got a dream for an insane vr game that’s as expensive as Daggerfall but way more dense. It’s gonna be a lot but if AAA devs won’t do it then I will ig. So thank you for inspiring me, ik now it’s not gonna be easy, but it’s possible and that’s all that matters to me ❤

Eric actually finished a CS degree, then started working on stardew valley

You said not recomend to do it, but the best way to learn is to make UA-cam video about it and try to make best thing you can. Why do you think it's so bad idea? It's not bad idea at all and i was also planing to make youtube video with title "I made game in two weeks with no expiriance" to help me learn, because ti's moust efficiance and more importently moust fun way to learn. I recomend you to make intro a lot shorter and I hope you continue makeing videos like this :D

The positive side is that is more likely to become a millionaire being an Indie Dev than winning the lottery. The negative side is, you know that pain of learning something new?, in gaming dev this feeling is eternal, you're never comfortable.

are you Egyptian by any chance?

i make games, crappy games, no one published. But its my time. Ima make my dream game, if you can, I can, good luck :D

Thank you man, you are really inspiring!! I am kind of in the same boat as you, just with even less experience 😅 I don’t think my game will go very far but I am making it with my friend so I am having fun. I find it relaxing inspiring too see someone making a game without just knowing everything like every other UA-camr seem to do. Thank you for doing this and I hope you and your game goes far. And I am going to have a blast watching it 😄. Keep it up!!!

I'm studying architecture but I would love to make a game if I had the time

0:30 yea, i'm doing the same, yea i asked myself the same question, yea it's hard, and yea it's only been two months since i started learning godot with 0 coding experience. It's so nice to see other people in the same situation as me lol.

Nah man I’m literally in the same boat. The crap logic of “you’re going to fail because I failed with my first game” is the worst advice someone can give. They do it for clicks, not advice. Keep pushing through the crap on your own since there’s no one there to truly help

great job at starting, having fun is the most important thing

instructions misunderstood, accidentally travelled back in time, created a company called fromsoftware, and made the entire souls series and elden ring

I started creating a game, and left it at very beginning because I didn't even understand what I wanted from that game, then I started my second game idea, and my friends were giving different advices what to do, what to change and it all resulted me to abandon that game as well. After that I started my UA-cam channel and my third gam development, which is currently under progress. And between free times I also made a small mobile game that is currently under testing from GooglePlay, which is just to see how much money can such game bring with ads. The point I want to make is you should always concentrate on what you want to do, don't listen what others say because it is sometimes opposite of help. Just start writing down ideas and making first scenes in the game. All in all, one day it should pay out I believe. I now feel much more confident with creating UA-cam devlogs and working on the game and it is just the beginning.

I appreciate your work man! I am also young and began studying Game Development half a year ago. Sometimes I feel like regretting my decision, but Game Devs like you inspire me, that the path I took in life, will be filled with so much potential and fun :)

I am gonna make game dev vids soon cuz of you. Ive got my game and script prepared, so half of the way is done! :]

the entire reason why people say "start with small games" is to keep you from entering that tutorial hell

AAA Game dev here, the main piece of advice I can give you if you want to also start working (or at least networking) in the industry while you work on you game, is to attend Game Jams, especially on site ones. They are great events to meet lots of fellow game developers, learn a lot and especially useful in your case, go through basically the whole production cycle of a game (kind of) in a very short time. Also, any game dev event is really good in general but things like GDC, etc... require a bit of an investment. Good luck with you project!

it's interesting to see the beginning of a game

There is two posibilities: He made the best update for its game Or he gived up

Actually rule number 1 is: don't make a multiplayer game as your first game. You will cry so much. Ask me how I know :)

Make a cat companion

Don't give up, Nova

Make the game or imma unfollow🙄

Ля, какая же жиза для меня. Пока я не загорелся созданием своей игры, я очень быстро забивал на идею создания игры. Как только я взялся за создание "игры мечты", всё сразу стало легко и интересно.

I’ve seen the motivation to complete the codemonkey tutorial I just have 1 hour or more left

Its coming along! I'm doing the same thing, Open world, terrain generated, industry game. I just got my own terrain generation working.

Hey can i ask a question for pine tree models which asset did you use can you give link? :)

can you sare the inventory code?

It's fine to start learning everything from scratch when you're hobbyist but how do you plan to sustain yourself like this? With such a complex idea you will be spending so much time learning the basics that you won't get anything tangible done for years? What is the plan? If you want UA-cam to take off, I feel you would need to show some interesting visuals or game design ideas.

The stardew valley guy went to school for it. He wasnt a novice. I hope you do as well.

Make a tier list of what are the most important mechanics and systems: such as: "first person movement", "placing structures", "picking up resources", "landscape and vegetation" etc.. with systems like "procedural generation" , "day night cycle" and "enemy critters" lower on that list. You will likely have to cut out systems and content, but if you concentrate on the core systems, you will still end up with a playable game. And if you are not an artist: stick to a style that you can get enough assets for in the store. Or a really simple low poly style, that you can manage to make yourself. A consistent artstyle is the most important thing for visuals.

This inspired me to make a backrooms game. Wish me luck chat (heres my story btw: I always wanted to make this game... But i didnt know what engine to use.. i used unreal cuz of the graphics but.. uhh.. the programming language is c++ and i dont like blueprints... So i decided to use unity with a more easier language. Im starting from today in a 3d retro style game :D)

Haha . . . i’ve been workin on mine for 5 years but was so busy in those times. But now i finally have the free time now, so i am also another dummi dum dum solo dev who is doin dat :p

This is the only one "I'm making my dream game" video that I didn't skip

Add xbox support

Well, it seems I've finally found someone exactly like me. I don't care how long it takes me or how much effort I have to put in alone, I will eventually finish this dream game of mine or be hired by a company where I can eventually see the game come to fruition someday.

I don't dream of products. I dream of using structured play to build community. The only failure point is not taking action. As the action itself is a reward.

Your first game is gonna suck when you're completely new without a plan yes. It's like an electrician doing whatever and ending up burning the house down and your "dream game" idea will mostlikely be super niche combined with zero experience so it's going to fucking suck aswell. Make shit games. Then make a good game. Then make your dream niche game.

I'm so looking forward to this game! I've been addicted to Satisfactory, and I can see your idea becoming a new hyper-fixation 😅

Hello Nova Code, here is me your future you! :-D Haha, just kidding. But I have just released my first game on Switch, PS5 and Steam. It took me over seven years. And some spoilers here. I did not enjoy every bit of it :-D But still it was a very, very interesting journey!!!! If you would like to find out what I was struggling with just get in touch with me.

On title alone, that's a ballsy first step so mad respect

Step 1 of game development: Uninstall League of Legends Step 2 of game development: Never install it again

I can relate with what he said. Making super simple and bland game just don't motivate me enough in learning game dev 😅 Hence, I'm still in step 1.
