    I'm doing a multiplayer game, almost 2 years of godot experience and gamedev in general. Publishing my first game soon, its mostly how much you want it to happen, not because of money or success/fame, if its a passion project you'll get it done and it'll be worth it, you just have to keep in mind that improovement is always possible, you don't have to keep a under-developed game this way forever and become sad about it.

    I never watched an interview of an admirable game dev that says that he made a game choice because of how well it would perform in the market. The best indie games are original, usually well polished and fun to play. If you aim only for the success, you'll only reach the base of the mountain(that's full of garbage).
    The greatness of indie games is that the devs put something that only them could do.

    Great video. I really appreciate that you cover the steps needed in a comprehensive and realistic way while still being encouraging and presenting the process as achievable, which it is. I especially like that you don't downplay the importance of learning to program, and that you mentioned optimization and getting early feedback. Starting small is also good advice - if you're a new developer on your own, you'll learn far more by working on a small game, or even just a single system or feature, than by starting a years-long project where it will be much harder to learn and change methods as you go
    Keep up the great content!

    My experience of how to make a game. Step 1 download the game Star for you want. Step 2 think of an idea for your game. Step 3 watch tutorials by from call content creators like Samyam. Step 4 do not code multiplayer at 2:00 a.m. in the morning you will most likely quit if you do that. Step 5 publish your game. Step 6 SLEEP!
    These are all the steps I did when I started game development back in 2019/ 2020.😅 wouldn't recommend doing step 4 late at night though.

      What do you mean not to code multiplayer at 2 am? Do you mean not to write code that is related to the multiplayer aspect of your game (if you have one) or you mean coding in general shouldn't be done at 2am, because it's too late??

      Some basic SOLID implementation can save u a lot of problems too. Is just if u dont start the right way refactoring your code in late stage to increase the optimization wont be any good so better start properly from the get go.

    Don't forget UPBGE and The Range Engine! Neither are popular... yet. I'd recommend The Range Engine, but both allow games to be created commercially. The Range Engine has pretty good performance, not the fastest, but for low to med polygon it should be fine.

    I've been practicing level design lately. It's an area where I'm a bit weaker. My strength is programming. It always seemed when I got the player moving around I'm like... What now? I end up spending hours making a large open world and then it plays like crap. Then I think about all the extra work necessary to optimize and polish it up and I start thinking this is too much work and I give up. I'm finally starting to make complete levels though and they aren't playing horrible like before. So that's something I guess. I've never finished a game jam either. I spend too much time procrastinating and try to do it all at once near the end. Never can finish it like that.
