@@jamie_dev The confirm subscription link in the convert kit email seems dead. I don’t think it’s my end but will try a bit later.
Love the Apple keynote animations. I was wondering how these animations looked sleek and love how the answer is simple. Love the vid
Thanks! I hope it was helpful 😊
So simple yet so effective
WOW, the mindmap tip is incredible! Congratulations, your work is great, and thanks for the effort on sharing it all with us with such high quality!
Great insights on your game development workflow! Really appreciate the detailed explanation of how you use mind maps for task management and the efficiency it brings. Looking forward to more of your vlogs and learning from your experiences. Keep up the fantastic work, Jamie!
The keynote thing is an amazing tip, thanks! Great video 🙏
Great for making tutorials, hope it was helpful!!
Wow, your animations are so smooth! And the game you're making looks cool! Just followed. I can't wait to see more of your devlogs :>
the animation part was so good, I didn't know you can do high quality animations like this! it looks so professional
This is a wonderful video - thank you for sharing your setup in such a clear and actionable way.
Yooo its dope, having everything organised is half the work
Hey Jamie, awesome Video! My biggest struggle in my journey so far ist to keep track of all my todo's. I tried several Tools and Lists. But it's never feels organic. Mindmaps I usually use for brainstorming, but I never got the thought to use it for task management, but this is a brilliant idea! You keep always the context and it's easy to extend! I think I will try this!
Really, really awesome!
Coming from an Agile-driven world, the mind-map tip is invaluable! Awesome video!
this is insane presentation animation for technical videos. I love the simple breakdown approach to project management too, definitely usable for any solo software projects. Godsend ❤
I have to say, well done. Thanks for the mind map tool. I jump around so much,
The Mindmap tip is awesome. Thank you!
My mind can go crazy with ideas sometimes, and usually im just walking around and typing notes on my phone which is a bit messy if you look at it a few days later... Im sure this will help me to keep my thoughts a bit more organised, without adding too much complexity on the writing them down aspect!
Great walkthrough! Looking forward to seeing more!
Yoooooo, the shoutout to mind maps was great! They changed my everything. Also I saw the glimpse into your bjj map and got super happy because I do that too to logically organize what positions/transitions to review/train. I loved this video!!!! Thank you
I have been using miro for years and never even thought of using it that way, thank you!
Hello! I just started thinking of taking my art skills and turning it into game assets and this was so helpful for me. Making the mind map and applying it to workflow is so brilliant and sharing us your process with these tools was inspiring, thank you!
Fantastic video. It's always nice to see what other people use as tools and how they organize to make it simpler to understand and boost productivity. That mindmap is something I will experiment with, for sure. Thanks
Great sum up of your workflow. Glad I watched
Interesting use of a mind map. I like the approach!
Thanks for the video, I found it really helpful. Love the way you breakdown tasks in Miro.
You’re great at explaining things too😊
You really connected to me. Very glad the youtube algorithm found me. I have been using mind maps and trello and found there was something about trello that did quite fit till you pointed it out to me. Also, I always wonder how these simple but effective animations worked to articulate concepts to the audience. Thank you for sharing. Keep it up! You now have re-inspired me to dev log and you have a new follower ;)
Thanks so much for the follow 😊 really glad that you connected with the video too
I am a indie dev And i really like the way you presented !
I may adapt to your style to blog my Journey.
Amazing video and great tips! The use of mind maps for task tracking was very surprising to me. It is so intuitive and I can't believe I haven't tried this. Will do on my next gamedev project!
wow, this is quality content! Thanks for that keynote tip!
Whoa! These are all great tips for software engineering in general! Love that keynote protip
Fantastic video - as a software developer who is trying to dabble in UA-cam & side projects, this is so helpful. Thank you, Jamie!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing your workflow, definitely learned a lot and I am starting the mindmap right away! Also your game is adorable 🥰
Just discovered your channel - as a bit of a project management nut, I really loved how streamlined and simplified your workflow is. It makes getting the work done so much easier when you aren't spending all of your time working on your todos and all that, lol. Subscribed!
This motivated me to give mind maps another try as part of my project management workflow. Thanks!
This looks great, Jamie! Looking forward to your future vids (^^)
thank you for sharing map approach!
Thanks for sharing this, I've just started my own GameDev journey
Love the keynote tip! Subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you!
You just instanatly switched me to mind maps, thanks!
Thanks for the miro tip, gonna try for a small project and see how it goes.
Really enjoyed the video, a lot of very actionable and practical tips !
What a great video. I feel very inspired to try mindmaps and PPT animations. Thanks!
Glad to hear that :) hope the video was helpful
I *love* your pixel art style! So much cute for so few pixels :D
Though naked mole-beaver will haunt my dreams :O
thanks so much, I love all cute things 🥰
🤣🤣
We're also devs and we loved the use of Miro for visual task-tracking; great tip And the Keynote tip blew our minds! 🤯
Love this! I’ve tried a lot of apps with sub tasks but they’re generally more limited and don’t “map” to my mental model well, and def don’t have the flexibility you demonstrate here.
I’ve also been a longtime fan of MindNode on iPad but haven’t used it in some time. This video prompted me to check back.
I was so pleased to find it’s even added task (toggle/checkbox) support to nodes. And also has an amazing nested list layout if preferred for org etc
Thank you so much for talking about this - genuinely useful.
MindNode is now my go to tool and since I watched your video I've migrated 3 entire projects into it. It's mind blowing and I can't believe I hadn't considered this before. Thanks again. I'm rarely impressed with productivity videos but this was truly inspiring. 👏
Awesome video. Nice instructions and gave me some insights.
영상 좋네요.. 집에서 유니티로 게임 만들어보려고 책사놓고 몇주째 읽지도 않고 있는데 취미로 이정도라니 대단하시네요.. 저도 이 영상보고 무기력 떨쳐버리고 다시 시작해보겠습니다.. 감사합니다..
화이팅입니다 ㅎㅎ
Awesome Video!
The more I think about it, the more I realize that using a mindmap to plan is actually so much better than what I've been doing with online task managers.
I've also always thought those video animations were really neat, and knowing that I can use powerpoint to do that is really helpful.
thanks :D
glad if it was helpful unity guy!
I like the minimalist kind of approach.
Thanks Doc Geraud for linking this vidéo. Very useful
This is great. Thanks. I didn't know you could do animations using keynote. I'll definitely try this out.
Hi Tom! how are you? glad you find it helpful, it's really good for making tutorials. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, this mindmapping technique was exactly what I was looking for and I love how you're a Godot dev.
thanks mnd map is really helpful remind me good old days of flow charts some sorts thus making it more readable for me flow
I started using a similar mind map structure to describe various activities required for larger teams and organizations to build - it’s very effective tool to describe not only at the executive level but also to the individual contributors to see how their piece fits into the larger picture. Something I stumbled on accidentally and glad to see others leveraging something similar too.
glad to meet you! mind maps are underrated haha
@@jamie_dev the format I started with was much heavier with more detail and I’ve now switched to your format for a couple things this week which is a nice compliment to the more detailed approach. Lucid also has a Mind Map template similar to Miro which is also working well - thanks!
ooooh as someone who's had massive issues planning using Trello and Notion and actually tracking whats next, I'm really keen to see how you do this.
NB I haven't watched the full vid yet!
Graphs for managing tasks, just love it!
I have never seen anyone giving the sauce so easily! Awesome content you got there!
Thanks! hope it was helpful!
The king is back
With Godot!!
I remember commenting one of your videos saying your maps looked crazy, but you have changed my mind about them, I'm starting today with them, and since I already use Miro I guess it might just work like have it all in one place, thanks for such amazing videos. Also your way to explain things is really nice and structured, you should consider creating tutorials and selling them.
Thanks! I used to make programming tutorials and hope to make game dev tutorials once I get more experience some day. I checked out your work on your channel and it looks sick! I want to make 3D games too
@@jamie_dev hello and thank you, my work in my channel is old when I used Unity, I've been using Godot for a while but I'm shy about it video wise lol, honestly thank you for the mental map idea its really working for me.
@@hawkgamedev looking forward to your updates if you decide to post about your new godot game 😊
Oh wow, I didn't know you could just use presentation software for these animations. Always thought people self coded these or used more sophisticated software. That's honestly amazing
Excellent video! Congratulations! Gained another subscriber
damnn loved the videoo jamie thanks a lot!!!
Using keynote as its original intention deserves a sub for sure. I'll try the mind map, I think you've found the solution to all my jira problems.
Love the mind map idea for tracking tasks! Totally agree with keeping stuff simple. As a fellow hobbiest, theres only so much time i have to work on my game, so its better to make that time count.. by actually working on the game lol
Taking notes. Thanks for the good advice.
Great video especially the keynote tip was superb! Good to see you again tho🙌
Hello!! 오랜만입니다! Hope you're well!!
Yay a brand new Jamie vdieo dropped. Welcome back gamedev queen. I'm also learning godot via a udemy course I found and loving every bit of the journey as well myself. I'm also learning the basics from using Kenneys free asset packs as my starting point before I venture out on creating my own in the near future which I'm sure I'll enjoy as well. glad to see your game is coming along smoothly. Great seeing a new upload from ya again. :)
Thanks! I love Godot so much, never regretted switching to it 😊
@@jamie_dev it is pretty nice, i took inspiration from it for my language. keep having fun!
nice bro! keep it up, hit me up with questions if you'd like. you can just reply here or i can give you my email if thats easier. im sure your doing great though!
i have never heard of mind maps before, this is very interesting!=)
Omg -- I use mind maps at my day job when architecting schemas for development. I never thought to use it as a productivity tool. This seems like a game changer! Liked and subbed! Thank you
Edit: And thank you for sharing keynote animations! Had never heard of that but love the animation style and will definitely help with my future videos!
Glad that it's helpful!
I love Miro, I use it for diagrams all the time, never thought of using it for task management, will try!
Hey thanks for this video, i love it that you remind us that simplicity can be better in this cyberworld
Love the video, thanks!
That was cute and informative. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this video, thankyou
This was quite help as someone new to your channel. Personally, I don't think there is enough flowchart tools out there because I use them for planing quests and dialogue options for games I want to create.
I'm also in love with obsidian md for planning and research; and for planning D&D sessions.
Nice about the animations though, makes sense and I will be definitely using these once I start a UA-cam game developer journey
Nice video , the mindmap idea is pretty cool and the simple pixel art is quite cute as well.
Great video!
Thank you，so helpful！
The keynote tip is🤯
Thank you for sharing!🤟
Wow! Thanks so much!!
I never understood mindmaps. They are totally alien to my way of thinking.
But... they are ABSOLUTELY EYE OPENING for task management and oh my, what have I been doing with my life all this time -.-
(been making games and software professionally for decades)
Didn't know powerpoint could actually do that @_@. Great video
Very helpful!
Such an efficient video, thanks for sharing all your workflow. I was really seduced by the mindmap, I was always relunctant to use notion or any other todo list, but the dynamic mindmap, event if it's seems limited, looks simply efficient. 🙏
I hope it was helpful!
Great video!

What you prefer a alternative for keynote? (Don't have apple product and don't wanna use Microsoft PowerPoint on browser...)
For task managers I never get ones with paid versions, cuz they can always decide to charge later and I might end up losing a lot of crucial data.
I use free mind maps for any task/goals, basically. Your method is really interesting, I'm gonna start adopting it. Thanks for the video.
I realized the core idea behind Mindmaps is the same with Outliner apps. The main difference being that Outliners (like Dynalist and Logseq) are primarily text based and Mindmaps are visual.
For people with ADHD, like me, I think outliners are better. I feel overwhelmed just looking at that Mindmap.
Great video!
Pixel art is such a wonderful thing. It's incredibly approachable, and at the same time it has a very high skill ceiling. ❤
Such an intelligent use of mind maps.
Cool vid! Cheerz
Helpful 😍 Thank you!
Combine it with Obsidian Canvases and their ability to make single item in such mindmap a separate note and here you go - perfect project productivity system
currently using obsidian canvases for mind map stuff and it is so good, any plugin to enhance my work flow?
Mind map is a powerful tool, I have used it for study when I was a student. They could definitely work for me in solo approach, but I'm not so sure about work in a team.
While mind maps are clear enough for people who have some experience with them, I found that majority of people find them convoluted and still tend to use hierarchy/list approaches when it comes to project management. Mind maps give too much freedom for expression, and working with others kinda demands more unified and strict approach to that. The same thing applies to the open canvases - they are good for brainstorming but not as good for actual task management.
I wish there will be some tool with a seamless non-destructible transition between a standard kanban and mind map view.
The graph view visualizing task breakdown and hierarchy is the fantastic, but I can't imagine managing status that way. Anyone know a way I can get a similar graph but managing "tickets" easier?
thank you so much for sharing Miro , was looking for something similar and also could you make a video about how you use premier pro ? it would make for some really good content !
I like your mind map approach - software engineer here trying hard to become game content creator.
So much that I'm trying out moving my flow from Trello to Miro. So far I like it way more for my specific flow. Many thanks!
Wow, that was a great walkthrough, thank you Jamie!
Thanks, I totally understood when you said "sober game addict"
amazing video - subscribed ✅
Thanks!!
Great video. Definitely going to give miro a try. What desktop monitors are you using? Thanks.
Thanks! the main monitor is Dell U3818DW but they are now replaced with a new model. the second monitor is kind of a noname brand called Kogan which was the cheapest 4K I could find :)
I used org-mode that way for many years when I worked solo. It is so nice to take a simple sounding but complex task and break it into it's simplest steps, really helps get to get started when lost. I work at a large company now so it's almost impossible to organize work this way anymore, kanban and markdown is really not the way and knowledge often gets lost / is impossible to find again and the way work involved in a single task is decided makes no sense. I don't know if it's a mind map exactly but definitely a structured tree is perfect for task management.
와. 한국계 미국인분이신가요? 멋있어요! 개발 애니메이션 정말 멋있게 짜시네요. Obsidian으로 비슷하게 하고 있는데 좀 더 영감을 받았어요. 정말 유용하게 봤답니다. 'a 'b
Wow. You're Korean-American? Your development animations are really cool. I'm doing something similar with Obsidian, but you've inspired me a little bit more. This is a really helpful video, I'm so glad to see it.
네~ 호주에 살고 있어요. 반갑습니다!
Cozy pixel art game about a cat! Right up my alley!! I see godot and Aseprite so I’m already invested.
This is the most underrated gamedev video on youtube. From the mind map tool to the animation tip, this will be immensely helpful. Just a quick question, how do you do the doing button in miro? When I create a shape, it doesn't let do the dependency line, only let's me directly link
Thanks so much!! It's just the default folding feature for mindmaps in miro
