Watching this on my Steam Deck, we truly are living in the future!
I've made two games for game jams using my steam deck! It works so well as long as you have a dock and screen!
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should"
Anyways, cool that it's technically possible!
the limited hardware is my favorite game dev tool cause you don't have to worry about optimization retroactively.
I'm a game developer and I work ENTIRELY on a steam deck. Just get a dock, put it in desktop mode and it's a normal Linux pc. Unity, blender, vscode, all work perfectly fine on steam deck and run better than they did on my old pc.
Tru, pc are trash unless made by the right people
That's amazing! I've been wanting to switch to Linux for ages but have been worried about learning unity/other game engines on it.
6:08 there actually is a Godot plugin that lets you see the camera's view while working with the gizmos and stuff, it's called "Little Camera Preview" if i remember correctly
Best game dev youtuber ive ever seen
Once you get a USB hub, the deck can really just be a good standalone Linux PC when you don't have anything else to use. It's what I use, because I don't have an actual PC. The only downside I can think of is that there's plenty of root packages that just don't work and most packages also get uninstalled every update, but the discover store has most of the stuff that you need. I even found a good way to use the case as a stand. First you put the case on the desk so that it opens towards you, with the elastic on the bottom. You put the bottom of the steam deck right up against the front of the bottom of the case and tip it back, using something plugged into the charger port to hold it up
I recently this week used a usb c drive (samsung 256g) to partition my steam deck 512ssd in half for dual booting windows 11 pro. I got a cheap license key for 20 bucks, got the steam dock, and have a sdxc 1tb sandisk micro sd card partitioned with ext 4 and nfts 500 gigs each for steamos and windows os files. Now it works wonders tbh as a low end/mid gaming pc or workstation for game dev or a handheld with steam os. Didn't lose any data or anything either. Love it.
I still think about this video regularly
Mannn I was wanting to make this video for over a year, but I was too lazy to ever start. Great vid!
Fantastic workflow, even on a steam deck
4:16 Oh oh oh! I just learned this from Passivestar! If you hold the Control key down, hold the middle mouse click and move your mouse up or down it will scale the UI so you don't even have to worry about that being a hinderance :D👍🏻
you can also use the scroll whell
control+scroll
@@igorgiuseppe1862 That’s literally what I said 🤭
@@DaydreamStudios_Officialer...
many scrollwhells have the option to move up, down or click on then.
i thought you were talking about the "click" , then move the mouse up our down, instead of scroll up or down
@@igorgiuseppe1862 That's my mistake, I actually didn't realize that you meant scrolling the scroll wheel!
it would have been really funny if the gun was an image on the steam deck instead of an actual gun.
Hell yeah dude!
You killed it with this video.
this makes me want a steamdeck more than ever
Cool video! I'm also watching the video on my steam deck.
This video was actually up next form my video about using steam deck as my game dev PC 😀
Using the Steam Decks display for Godot and Blender is an achievement - congrats!
I sometimes even feel like FullHD is not enough for me.
you can even run windows on the steam deck, but i would only recommend this for tinkering around with it
"Cheap keyboard worth 30 dollars" Wow
That aside, good game man
Idk if you'll read this but as a developer who did this, can I humbly request an idea?
Godot has an android port and quest is essentially an android, how about trying to develope a game in vr only using vr challenge? I think it would make great content :)
Fun video!
To sort of solve the manipulate objects with gizmo in camera view issue, you can split the editor viewport. This might not work very well for the small screen on the Steam Deck though
I hadn't thought about running Godot on the steamdeck. You can probably set up a script to download a git repo and automatically build for Linux and continue to develop pn a desktop. This is truly going to improve my current workflow of creating a build on my desktop, copying to Google drive downloading and moving the binary and chmod +x.
a few years ago, i asked my self an question: its possible to make an commercially viable game ... on a phone? then i used... i cant remember if it was construct or gdevelop... and made flappy birds on it, it worked fine, so i guess the answer is yes!
sure you probably wouldnt be able to make money with an flappy birds clone nowadays, but we have to take into account a few things:
1)flappy birds was an success despite being made in the PS3 era, were we had much more advanced games, wich proves that even many years after the atari era, its possible to make money with simple games.
2)while you wouldnt be able to make money with yet another flappy birds clone, you may have an original idea that is simple to play as flappy birds is and make it even on a phone.
so if you can make this on a phone, imagine an steam deck, with an better game engine like godot!
Being able to move objects with gizmos while previewing a camera is high on my wishlist too! Developing two first-person games at the moment, and you'd be surprised how often I wish this feature was in Godot lol
Also, so cool to see someone else experimenting with game dev on the Deck. I tried a few months ago to get something running using just the Steam Deck's controller inputs / action sets bound to specific keyboard shortcuts -- it's a lot of fun!
Best into i ever heard
My Deck is my daily driver now. I develop while it's docked and then take it to work with me, where I have a whole lunch room full of bored co-workers. Some are interested in the deck and before I knew it I had a hand full of play testers.
Haha, amazing! I wonder how fiddly it is. When I'm bored, I also use my old surface tablet to prototype things while traveling. I can imagine the steam deck works just as well. I'm surprised that Godot and it's editor just runs on everything, including my 10 years old mobile phone ^^
6:35 as someone who already had to develop on a laptop without an HD... i find it quite reconfortant to know that if my main rig break, i can use the deck to continue the development
Haha, I was thinking of doing a very similar tutorial on my channel for an infinte dungeon crawler. This is great stuff.
Good work Lukky
Every most Linux distors have "App Store" like on Steam Deck Desktop,
Linux is better for developing anything then Windows.
You should, be able to export to Linux, Windows and Mac OSX on any PC system steam deck included.
I got Unreal Engine 5 running on my Steam Deck. The only thing you have to do is connect an external monitor, because ue5 does not play well with such small resolutions.
holycrap , the deck has enough ram to open it?
@@igorgiuseppe1862 the steam deck has like 16gb of ram I think
I love this channel ❤
me too
Ever since dani died you've been my game dev content.
New side quest unlocked!
Using the screen as your sole display is cursed but I'm definitely very interested in how I can integrate my deck into game testing in the future :)
Hey Lukky, can you maybe make a tutorial on how to change the window size and resolution in a menu? Would be great!
PS: Love your vids
I challenge you to make a mobile game on a phone next (if you have an android). This would be super interesting!
Also I have to say I'm super impressed you did all of that on a single charge!
Ow I love to see you make a game engine.
I want to build my own fps 3d game engine in Godot after I finished my last 2 l4d2 campaigns (mods).
I bought a Win Max 2 that not arrived yet and the plan is play games but also work on it, and you brush off all my concerns now. thanks a lot hahahahaha
Can i make online multiplayer game in Godot with server browser?
Try making a game on your phone next
We want you to make GameDev live Cause i liked it very much
I tried doing this on the steam deck as well, and I don't know if I did something wrong, but I just can't seem to get Godot to acknowledge/find my c# installation, which is unfortunate.
Pretty cool. 👍
waiting for more endeavour stuff!
Jokes on you ! I'm currently making Simple game on steamdeck in Godot
The only pani in the back (quite literally) is small screen, and yes you can connect biger one, but you're not gona have screen every where you take Steam deck. And you need dock which are a bit procy for my Polish pay check.
You don't actually need a Steam Deck dock you can buy one of those little dongles they make for MacBooks! I got one for 12 euro of Amazon.
@@lukky. I actually got single that i supppse is for Android phones, problem is charging stoped working and i think problem with hdm output but it might be monitor issue.
I can tell you who would use a steam deck for game dev, me who only has a steam deck and no laptop lol
Really great work!
Be me.
Download Godot on PC.
Figure that since Godot is so lightweight, I could develop games on the Steam Deck.
Decide to do so.
Find this video.
Realize that I can run Blender on the Steam Deck too.
Surprised Pikachu face.
Amazing vid my man!
I was literally planning on making the same video!! XDD
just do it! with a different game
@@igorgiuseppe1862 and with no peripherals..? 😉
Bet.
THIS IS AMAZING HAHAHA, maybe i'll have to try this🤔🤔LOL
Nice
aight Lukky @lukky i found a niche for you niche sir... there's no games for simple laptop. ie keyboard interface. maybe this would be fun and maybe not. LOL happpy building haha
amazing
nice
>man gamedev channels seem to be becoming stale and dying
UA-cam recommends this channel
>idk what the heck this man is doing but he's got a new subscriber
