Mastering Gamedev in Two Months

I'm creating my very first video-game, it's only been 2 months so far, but it's already been a journey! Let me tell you about what I've been spending my time thinking about and what I've made so far :)

Can already see the personality oozing off of this game. Keep it up!

[@arctiformgames]

Nice video and beautiful project. Best of luck to you!

[@EddyNottingham]

Thank you very much!

[@pikachu_RL]

I admire the work you've been putting in, going beyond your comfortzone. Can't wait to see the end result!

[@EddyNottingham]

Thank you, that means a lot, and me too! Haha

[@smitherylc5001]

So impressive. What a great new venture to get into as well. Seems like you have everything you want this to be boiled down and excited to see the build up from here. This is definitely a fun game genre I enjoy as well.

[@EddyNottingham]

Thanks for the kind words buddy!

[@AlexGorskov]

You are a pleasure to listen to! Good luck with the game!

[@EddyNottingham]

Much appreciated!

[@isto_inc]

Very nice! and great delivery too

[@EddyNottingham]

Thank you!!

[@matfis5745]

Great video Eddy! Very insightful to the development of both Enso and video games in general. As a playtester myself I am really enjoying the game and can’t wait to see what you do with it in the future. Keep up the great work!

[@EddyNottingham]

Thanks buddy, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@PaulConnor1978]

Nice looking 1st project.
Best hobby to get into to be honest. I've been at it since lockdown and launching my 18th steam release in November so keep at it.... can be done!
All the best with the project and I look forward to following your journey.

[@EddyNottingham]

That's fantastic, you're launching just before my birthday, haha! Feel free to reply with your game's name, I'd love to check it out! ❤️

[@PaulConnor1978]

@EddyNottingham I can drop you a steam key if you would like a copy ;-)
I haven't done much with the Steam page yet but it's called Eagles of WW2.

[@-LightSmit]

As a UA-camr working on a Japanese learning game now, well done 👍 Keep up the videos - Light

[@CassyCodes]

A Japanese learning game? I definitely need to check that out 😮

[@EddyNottingham]

Thank you!!
Playnese is a really cool concept!! What a fantastic project, love it :)

[@SecretZoneGames]

Amazing video! Super high quality

[@EddyNottingham]

Thanks so much!

[@kebstrr]

Great video! The minimalistic art style is what drew me in the most. Could you make a video about how you created the art, with all the different parallax layers and so on. I think it looks gorgeous!

[@EddyNottingham]

I'm collecting ideas for future videos right now, so I'll definitely add this to the list! Thank you!!

[@CassyCodes]

I can’t believe how much progress you’ve made! I’m so jealous. Gotta work harder to catch up!
And yes, sake and karaoke is a great combination! I live in Osaka, and it’s amazing how much fun you can have on a budget. 🎉

[@EddyNottingham]

Nooo you're doing fantastic!! Do you have a plan for game number 3? :)
Would love to visit Osaka one day, it looks so beautiful!

[@CassyCodes]

@@EddyNottingham Thank you for your interest! Yes, I've been working on some small games and trying to improve my art skills.
Osaka is beautiful, but avoid summer at all costs!

[@MovitzFlowerhill]

Great looking project, use your art skills to make it special. Make the main char blobby, squishy and react to velocity and direction.

[@EddyNottingham]

Thank you for your kind words and the suggestions!

[@pleo9008]

Great job man, hope to play your game very soon !!!

[@EddyNottingham]

Thank you, I'll do my best 😉

[@AvexFuddle]

looks really good for just a few months... its taken me 2 weeks just to remake flappy bird!

[@EddyNottingham]

That's great though! Things take time in the beginning, you'll get faster as you get more comfortable 🙂

[@spectral_arachnid]

What an amazing video, I hope your channel grows and your audience expands! I'm watching this as I start learning modelling to then take a shot at learning the Godot game engine

[@EddyNottingham]

Too kind! Good luck learning to model, Blender is fun! :D

[@halfofabullet8687]

Can’t wait to see how the game progresses

[@EddyNottingham]

Thanks!

[@urbanozorus]

Following your journey man. Best of luck.

[@EddyNottingham]

Thanks! You too, Mud and Blood looks like the kind of game I could get into haha

[@syneydesign]

Excited for episode 2 looks gorgeous!

[@EddyNottingham]

Thanks

[@babakfp]

Keep doing what you do, sounds easy but so many give up! I can see that subs number going up already!

[@EddyNottingham]

Very encouraging, thank you 🙂

[@PersonWithDreamz]

awesome video! your game is looking great. The art is so good.

[@EddyNottingham]

Thank you!!!

[@AnEmortalKid]

You can do it Eddy!

[@EddyNottingham]

Thank you! 😊

[@shotoutgames8823]

Fun video. Excellent art style.

[@EddyNottingham]

Glad you like it! 🙂

[@romaingamain]

Je ne sais plus qui vénérer maintenant parce que tu es vraiment LE CRÉATEUR ORIGINEL ! Rien ne t'arrête. I love watching you making content. More more more ^^ (Enso is dope)

[@EddyNottingham]

Merci mec !!!

[@matchalattepng]

Your video quality is really impressive! 🎮 It's motivating to see people diving into creating their own game and UA-cam channel! 🚀 I'm really looking forward to seeing more! 🤩 Your game is grabbing my attention much more than Getting Over It, thanks to its beautiful art style! 🎨

[@EddyNottingham]

Merci beaucoup, you're too kind!

[@matchalattepng]

@@EddyNottinghamDe rien! Can't wait to see what's next! 😄

[@itsJDarts]

Nice video, i'll wishlist

[@EddyNottingham]

Thank you!

[@jeffreystephens2658]

Moral of the story: Start out as an artist.

[@robertdebon7239]

Love the video Eddy! So what I got so far is to go to Japan, get drunk on sake while singing karaoke Beatles songs?

[@EddyNottingham]

Oops, my bad the instructions were unclear 😂

[@bulldgn4679]

Love the vid !!!

[@EddyNottingham]

Thank you!!

[@WumbologyGames1]

The game looks great!

[@EddyNottingham]

Thanks!! 😊

[@_pinevpple_]

No sh*t, I'm 71st subscriber lol. Let's just click on that little bell and hope for some next content.
Edit: Wishlisting done ✅

[@EddyNottingham]

Oh wow, thank you! I'd better get to work 😉

[@_pinevpple_]

@@EddyNottingham Just don't abandon it, like most of us gamedevs 🙏🏻 I Would love to play Enso someday.

[@itsjako]

Could watch game developing all day long🤗

[@not_ever]

Your racoon cushion looks like it’s seen some things

[@EddyNottingham]

Haha, true it looks so shocked 😂

[@thomash.5144]

Nice vid dude ;)

[@EddyNottingham]

Thanks!

[@ElianeGameDev]

Wishlisted! :)

[@EddyNottingham]

Thank you! P.S: Hellspresso looks really cute!

[@lasered2929]

catchy game titles at the start of the vid 🤣😛

[@EddyNottingham]

Gotta have catchy names for my prototypes! :P

[@rkcoder]

Nice video! How long did it take you to make this video and how did you learn to edit btw?

[@EddyNottingham]

Thank you! It took me about two weeks, unless you count the other two weeks I spent self-doubting myself, thinking I shouldn't bother finishing the video.
I'm a self-taught videographer, and I've done quite a bit of client work in the past. However, this was my first video using Davinci Resolve, and my first time writing a script myself, and I'm relatively happy.

[@tomowen5732]

what a lovely voice 😍

[@EddyNottingham]

Haha, thanks :D
