6:08 Oreste cameo

If the game is too big, then there must be some team or company do the job better than you which may be really mentally draining

Remember that any time you place a new piece, it will at "distance to ground" will be 1 more than the smallest "distance" of its neighbours. So you dont need to recalculate everything all the time. Only whenever any neighbour is not atmost 1 more or less than its neighbour.

Your editing is God tier bro

for some reason that scene with white muscular guys is hilarious

sounds like scope creep got you.

My friend recorded an amateur fantasy movie ten years ago and it took him 10 years to edit it and add sfx, but after all that time he's finished this project and it's exactly what he envisioned in the past. maybe even better because he's grown his skills in that time. Don't worry - I have the same thing with my novel writing plans. Eventually we will create our dream projects, we just don't have to stress about the fact they don't come immediately.

No man. Don't go into making it streamable if it doesn't fit with the tone of the game even a little bit

real funny and self aware

No joke, you could never finish a game and I'd still love your videos 😂 You've got an incredible talent for making your videos visually appealing and refreshing. Plus, they're hilarious haha. It's a real shame about Resttore, but I totally get your decision! Really looking forward to your future projects! Keep it up man

haha im in this video.

%100 that's the way

I think you should have it be like Ultrakill that has rooms that increase in difficulty as the players skill increases unlike a big difficulty jump. Also, to not make them TOO Prepared, don't require any level limits or overly excessive grinding.

I wish you luck in your Dev. 💪

Design Pillars are singlehandedly the best tool you can use to avoid scope creep. Make a list of 3-8 things that are "pillars" of your game, ideas or themes that your game cannot live without. Each time you play a game and find a cool feature, ask yourself "does this feature support or is supported by my design pillars?" if the answer is no, don't put it in. There's a good video by Tim Cain here on KZbin covering the topic, and if you've never watched any of his videos, I highly recommend it. He's the father of such games as Fallout, Arcanum, Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, and many more.

I was genuinely worried that this would happen with your game. I have a lot of experience making games, and it is really hard to fully commit yourself to a project, then a year later realize that it's just not working due to lack of experience. So one thing that I would recommend, it play games that are similar to the one you want to make, and see what they do well, and don't, and use that to your advantage to make a game that makes big bucks!

Super high quality video, keep up the good work! :D

Gane dev is the worst & most toxic dream one can have! Quit if you can. Stick to real life, much healthier! The professional game dev is even worse!

i still would like that rain spline and tree bend tutorials

cool video

you should make Elden Ring and Baldurs Gate into 1 game, and make them better. seems like a foolproof plan to me

are you export all asset you used in your game ?

don't worry man, you made the same mistake everybody makes their first time

a good slap and you'll feel better right away

Love your editing! Hyped for your new project :)

your animation is good, and.. took less time than making features I guess? maybe try brutally simplify your game by converting most of it to animation?

I gotta make my own building system too now, thx for the motivation D:

epic editing brother

Man your dev logs are on fire! Putting your dream game on the back burner is a tough decision, but definitely the right one.

I'm also working on a horror game my friend i wish you luck.

mateeee I love your content, the are little game developers KZbinrs that make me laugh so much. You got this! Best of luck with your next game. By the way, where are you from? I mean, which country? I can't recognize the accent...

try Godot it's wayyyy easier than unity and unreal!!

Ohhhh no… sad so see you stop making restore… 😢 I know making a game solo is very hard… maybe taking a break from your project and tackling something else is a good approach… good luck on your new game, looking forward to seeing it.

x''; i'm so sad for you you gave up on your dream game because of time 😭 i wasted 10 years doing nothing but you created something i liked a dream game solo dev making so beautiful game with so complex stuff i really enjoyed the journey becuase you did everything yourself anyway good luck with your new game i hope people will like it by the way assets can make your life so much easy try fab

I think your next project is too big.... again. But your animations and storytelling is awesome. Start the project and keep us entertained with these awesome vids about all the ups and downs.

so no dragon?

Great video! The editing was fantastic. Can't wait to see the new project!

A wise decision. I feel like ive fallen into the trap of overscoping twice and taking like 2 years each time before i realized im a fool. 😅 small games is a good idea. I think game jams are great for creating unique small ideas that will get tested and then you can decide if its worth pursuing. Best of luck!

props to you for knowing when to pivot. Hopefully you can reuse art and assets from this project, but what you have learned im sure is invaluable

lmfao love it i feel you on it

Quit making games, your animation is WOW, you are a fresh take in devlog community

Love your videos. I think you are making the right decision. I am here to follow your journey!

Wait your animations are fire. I haven't seen a style like that before.

The way youtubers go about making their studio is all wrong. If anyone wants their dream game I will make the foundation for free on youtube! Making games is easy. Making money is not as easy. Even if u knew how to make your dream game it doesn't mean you will make money. You just made your dream game. So you sold yourself a game. Dumb business model. Anyways if anyone wants their game foundation let me know. Currently working on a marvel snap card game

Let me warn you. A Minimum Viable Product isn't the way. Because a MVP contains logic and graphics (and audio, animations, particles and all that stuff). If you aim for that, you are basically aiming to make the whole game with all systems and most graphics/effects/animations. You won't be able to do that quickly. It's the same trap as before, it just seems simpler, but it isn't. You should start with a Prototype. With proper preproduction. Make a plan, make a prototype. Make the Prototype within 3 days or one week max, like it's a game jam. Only work with cubes and ugly default UI boxes. No graphics, no sounds, no animations unless absolutely required for the gameplay. And when you have that thing, you can check if it's fun. You can let someone (probably another developer, not a gamer) test it and get some early feedback. If this feedback is negative or if you can't create a functional prototype within a week - consider trashing the whole thing and going with another idea where you try the same again. You don't want to go from one infinitely big project to another one. I did that for 10 years straight. I would never ever start any project again without a Prototype. Even when it's a straight copy of another game. So that's my suggestions. What you do with it is up to you.

thanks for emphasis the tip: never believe you are the special one that can make big game for first time.

Yeah just make small games. Experience from smaller games will bring you back to your dream game and open up a lot more options. Either way solo dev is pure pain fam. Look at elona is been years and game just released and it's still in early access. (Yes made by solo devs)

As someone stuck in the same development hell as you, it's nice to hear the same viewpoints. My goal for 2025 is to make a steampage for my game with a demo!

It strikes me as funny that you were making an openworld survival game while in the end you couldnt survive in the real world. Rip

It's a shame to realize that even very strong people are broken by the "dream game". When I started watching your dream game development cycle, I really thought that you would succeed. You moved very confidently and knew what you were doing. I was very inspired by you, thanks to which I was able to make a lot of progress in learning to code. Thank you for your efforts and good luck with your new game!
