    Beautiful game, nice colors! Nice video! Game DEV is so hard, but you made a lot of solid points. I also sometimes do something that's too ambitious when I should make shorter games that I can build to completion than a lot of random projects (although I might learn something new from each), but I rarely complete something or feel it's at the quality to launch to the store.
    I want to someday make a cool 3D game like you, but I'm mostly sticking to 2D to give myself some limits and not feel too overwhelmed.
    Limits are the most important thing for reaching completion I think.
    Like I got frustrated with the camera that I decided to just make a space-invaders like game where the camera doesn't need to move or games that can be played on a single screen lol
    Because they are going to be the simplest to build for me to completion I think...
    Took me forever to figure out what I wanted to build to completion too and I'm just getting back into game dev now (been off about a year and really rusty, never made it past like an intermediate level. But GPT4 got me back into it and made the process a bit easier overall)
    Anyhow, I subbed to your channel because I got some inspiration, GG!
    Your game looks beautiful so I have nothing to say, about it but maybe with some new marketing strategies you'll get a lot more sales. I can't imagine how hard it is for a game to sell on Steam though or general...
    As you mentioned in your video it's difficult finding good tutorials. If you were to make some, I and many others would watch too. I always come across something that frustrates me in Unity lol
    Like I watched some tutorials and they leave out several steps or use a different version or there's sometimes something that makes them impossible to follow and learn from for me.
    Good luck with growing your channel and your game dev!

      Thank you! I'd rather you release a game than release nothing, you can always work on it after release. I am planning to create a video on the steps you need to take to publish your game on Steam - this is SUPER simple but seems super confusing! I also plan on making coding tutorials too! Thanks again and welcome to my channel!

    Just curious, how long does it normally take steam to approve a game?
    I know they say leave at least 5 business days but does usually take longer?

    • @DanGameDev
      @DanGameDev  Рік тому

      For me it was approved within 48 hours. It was very quick and I had time to ensure any issues found were fixed. Welcome to the channel (please consider subscribing)!

    I want to upload my indie games in steam , its a one time fee of 100$ or i have to renewal my subscription every month ??

    • @DanGameDev
      @DanGameDev  2 місяці тому +1

      It’s a one time fee of $100. You pay this per game you want to release so it’s not a subscription fee. They will refund this after your game makes $1000 in revenue! Hope this helps!
