Congratulations to anyone making their solo games successful, takes hard work and dedication, seems good to see indie games slowly take over AAA.
Thanks for the props dude, and likewise to everyone who is a fellow solo dev.
These interviews with GameDevs have been some of your most helpful videos. Thank you! Keep ‘em coming. 😊
Kyle is such a chill and talented dude. You can just tell by the way he speaks and his insight on going full time indie. Loved this talk!
Why does my dude sound like he is speaking at 150% 😂
Kinda looks like it too. Thought I accidentally had the video speed up! He’d be a great teacher, not wasting time and getting out information in record pace
😂😂😂What the heck dude I didn't notice until I saw your comment🤣
Thanks for the full podcast! loving these
Love the conversations you've been having, thank you for everything you do for indies!
Have been following Kyle from a few months now and absolutely love the aesthetic of Farewell North.!🤩
Very nice to see both of these legends together. All the best to both of you, for both of your games haha.
I recently started watching your videos and now I'm a ThomasBrush videos addict
Hey Thomas, you have been a huge help with my game's development. I'm taking your FTGD course and it has helped me go from knowing ZERO about code and engines to have a working character controller and enemies. I have a background in design and animation so it's nice to see these skill sets all working together well.
Great talk, good interview. Thanks Tom!
Love the game concept of adding color to a colorless world - very cool, very original!
At 23, I'm almost done with my undergrad and I cannot wait to dive into this. It's going to be hard given where I'm from but it's nice to see successful indies I can learn from and look up to and who knows? You might be seeing a great indie game from a third-world dev in a couple years
These podcast interviews are the BESTTT!
I always enjoy your interviews.
Fantastic & inspiring session. Thanks guys.
i have just visited to the steam page and i definetly dont mean anything bad but about the whole marketing part i personally think you need to make the trailer more fast phased to get more interactions, anyway i loved the podcast ur both very smart guys! keep it coming love to see more! greetings from the netherlands!
Wonderful interview!
Great chat chaps! Really interesting listen.
I like how Thomas asks questions like he doesn’t know anything and gets explanations from the other devs.
Great thoughts from Kyle. I've seen the development of his game throughout my time in the GDU server, and I hope it does well. I also strive for no 0% days! That's been the key to finishing and launching my game.
loved the podcast!
The cut at 37:07 was so weird, Kyle's mustache changed drastically and Thomas' tshirt haha. Great video, with good info!
Somewhere during the cut, his lighting changed, which is why his beard looks different. Look at the shadow behind him.
Very awesome video! One of the most important points is the 0% Day, gotta keep those to a minimum!! (I'm not playing video games, I'm doing research!!!!)
Love it!!
Thank you!
Finally! A game developer that has background in programming and from college. I'm a CS major and I've been making games as college projects and loving it! Planning to learn unity for one of my next projects.
I resonate with this story heavily! "It's now or never"
Interesting interview - I also find working in 3D easier, graphically speaking, than 2D. I think it's something to do with spatial imagination brains.
I enjoy animation in 3D much more than sprite animation.
@@lordkakabel76 How interesting - can't say I've tried but maybe I should
I'm wrestling with this. My heart is in 2D, hand painted art, pixel art and that's the game that I always want to make. But I've always been better at 3D stuff. I went to art school and I pretty much stuck to sculpture. I drove my tutor mad because I did everything I could to avoid concept sketches, I just wanted to dive straight into the final piece 😂
I Quit My Job To Make My Indie Game, too
I hate listening to podcasts, but Thomas' is a big exception. I really wanna be interviewed by him one day.
I use his scene-ref-attribute package in every single project I have.
Nintendo is gonna sue him for those tattoos
Hey Tomas just wondering in making games is it what you thought it will be, example time, effort, satisfaction etc. If so what would you have done differently? In regards to AI it's just a tool, this will create more competition but can help to speed up
and ssist in marketing or game development . Cheers Perry
Same here i used to work as software developer because after university i wasnt able to find any game dev job so i become software developer until i realise i can just be indie game dev an quit my job. Best decision of my life so far :D It been 6 years now. So far done few mobile game worked on hypercasual mobile gaming and now move to pc with my first pc game Hell Runner on Steam that currently on early access. So far feedbacks are lovely but i'm sux at marketing XD
I also quit so many job opportunities. my mean rejected for Indie my Indie game.
The algorithm does the same thing to me. Had 3 videos do amazing and the few videos that followed were complete flops😭
Another great interview Thidious Brush, thank you
Lol yall are a few months older than me and I'm learning game dev from yall.
49:19 you owe your friend $1000
I don't love writing code and I definitely don't love debugging. Would you guys hate me if I used AI to generate basic code for me? :) Thomas asking a bunch of dark questions here. You're scaring the guy! LOL
Regarding the "tickets" and "tasks" he mentioned, do you guys have a system to keep you working on those things? Some kind of software? I've always thought I could benefit from having some kind of Daily Achievement thing like a video game that I needed to accomplish for my project to come along.
Wait wdym funded by Tencent... guess I'm never gonna look for a publisher...
Everything is funded by something bigger. Sad but true :/
. - You should have asked him how much can you lift? sweetie.
Holy cow I was first in comments!! Hell yea!!!
who cares your game lol
It is true that with AI there would a lot of bad games BUTT there would a lot more better game bcz Dev's would have more time to work on the other things other than art.
It's so pessimistic that we are only looking at the worst side of AI but it has helped a lot of people, try to understand that.
Thomas looks pretty bored at times?
