On one hand I want to say "I really would love to play that" but... the jump scares would probably kill me. Where did you start in terms of programming knowledge?

Spreading positivity by not cutting out the setbacks. Let's go!

Not sure what it is, but I would at a silent sound effect (like wind of like a pfff) or a kind visual steam/dust effect when a monster disappears. I think also "fake" (similar like a cricket or whispering) sounds to lead the player watch in the wrong direction would make it more disturbing. ^^

So JUST like my lecturers make their lesson sliders in my uni! Cool! I do prefer the Steam format personally, regardless of audience type, as less effort to watch a presentation, but I can see why the slide lecture style is employed in a professional setting! This is very insightful! Thank you!

Sick!

Hearing you talk about your issues with Unity, really do make me laugh. We are all in the struggle bus with you brother, sheesh 3 hours just to get the monster to invert is insane. Glad you got it sorted. Progress looks fantastic!

Amazing video fam! Congrats it came out super dope!

This is a really good video! I just wish it were louder.

Please stop with the clickbait style titles

I think for smaller projects/low stakes projects simple devlogs can be made for yourself it's fun to look back on what you've done or to be able to see how the project's changed overtime meanwhile I can also get that it might take a lot of time to plan out how they will go/compose the video. Im thining of pushing out an actually edited video for once about the mod im making, but learning lightworks & doing anything with it is taking me a long time and that takes time away from pushing out the next release.

Step #1 being ray casting is so relatable 😂 great video

These days, everyone is making more devlogs and less games AKA talking about the same obvious things for the sake of "content" ..instead of focusing on progressing their damn game. Its truly a problem now. Sadly, this video is a prime example. Yap yap yap.

I kind of want to make my own devlogs as slide decks now...Great video.

the professional devlogs are given at GDC 😆

This is a great video, I’m genuinely shocked at the view count

I watched a podcast with pontypants and he said that devlogs are useless eventhough his game sold 50000 copies due to devlogs! I think he said that it was over a couple of years but still, I think he stopped because he wanted to focus more on game creation and reach gamers and not devs

The thing about niches is that if its small you wont get a lot of views but if its really big like games development youre gonna need something special, something only you have.

you're not a bad editor, and I believe you know it

As an editor, I would recommend sticking to one unique design instead of using multiple fonts. The animation of the advice is cool and minimalistic, which I really like! However, I would leave out the sound effects. They distract me a bit and don’t quite serve their purpose of supporting your message. For example, instead of using goofy or somewhat trashy sounds, you could try simple mouse clicks for a cleaner feel. You have a great voice, and I enjoy listening to you. Your journey is inspiring! Stay consistent and keep up the excellent work🔥

i know the youtuber you were following to learn about storytelling, i did the same thing kkkkk

As a small channel myself, this video was the kick in the pants I needed to keep going. Thank you.

This video came in my frontpage in yt, You clearly are on the right track ✨

Good luck! :)

Just play and make games, the main benefit of school is networking (social) but online networking is better nowadays for that In AAA playing office politics is the path to success not technical or design skill, just kiss ass well and you'll win

As a lecturer in game design and development, I would add that studying a course that is accedited means that it has been certified that it aligns to current industry practice, and some of your lecturers may have come from industry, so have hands-on experience to share. It also gets you used to working in groups, opens up networking opportunities. With regard to the content that is out there online, sure there are a lot of helpful tutorials by some very capable people. But until you start to learn the fundamentals, you won't know the difference between agood tutorial and a bad one. Having an academic team to guide students through that can be really beneficial.

great video

Bro hasn't reach implementing doors yet 😂 a nightmare nobody told you about 😢 it's not just code, what happen if a door open and there is something behind? What happen if that happens next to a wall, what if it's the player? ☕

I Recommend reading Learn C# in One Day and Learn It Well, it helped me a lot when i was starting out programming

Yep. Yeha most of this issues are due to ur inexperience BUT unfortunately, "harder" things, become easy YET fkcign stupid random bugs are stay, and will always place us in out place XD Difference between Senior Dev and Jun Dev is experience and ability to not crack under random bugs. Keep it up. U doing well! =) Also suggest to use Duck much more =) When u explain things to someone u do find fixes =)

First!

Hello friend, I love your videos, we should collab

Unity and Unreal Engine are mature enough now that they have pretty high quality online courses for free

Welcome in Berlin! Keep it up John, I cant wait to see your progress when you´re facing the save system :)

You might want to update the thumbnail, because censoring an object (that most people can easily distinguish as a fridge) doesn't really make sense and the thumbnail overall fails to give the viewer any idea of what is expected the video, in order to make them interested to watch it.

Would be cool if you had a summary in the end of the video, or time stamps, thank you for the advice!

I like LEDS to work 👍

I'm currently taking a game design course at Boise State right now and drowning in homework, but every single day I enjoy what I'm doing, and it makes it all worth it

As a tree falling unseen in a forest, my advice is: 1. Motivation: if you don't already have this, DON'T MAKE GAMES. Games are a TON of work. A stupid, mind-numbing, ego-smashing amount of work. Motivation is yourself. If you lose motivation quickly, your will join the legions of projects that were worked on for a week and a half and then left to rot as soon as it wasn't fun anymore. 2. Knowledge: If the idea of researching and learning by yourself makes you uncomfortable, DON'T MAKE GAMES. Games are a TON of work. A soul-crushing, nerve wracking, patience-testing amount of work. The medium moves so fast that most knowledge you acquire will be useless by the time you try to put it in practice. The classic model of hoarding knowledge first in case it becomes useful later doesn't work very well here. Yes, DO learn, but also start using what you learn right away. Jams are great for this: focus on a single skill for each game until you feel you got it. 3. Inspiration: If you don't already have inspiration, DON'T MAKE GAMES. The industry is FLOODED with uninspired clones of already-famous games and it's VERY hard to follow up a hit from outside, even the creators of the hit themselves often fail to do so! You need a vision and a lecture isn't gonna give you that. 4. Experience: Guess what. A school is actually good for this. You can ask supposedly experienced people and be a giant by standing on their shoulders. You could also do game jams though, fail fast and learn a ton. Don't wait though. The best game making experience is to make games. 5. Network: if what you're looking for is a job, well this is how you get it. You go to school, met people, then y'all apply and talk to each other about experiences and opportunities. Maybe even teachers can hook you up. This is hard to do by yourself. Or you could just grit and get recognition through jams and demos and then self-publish. There's that.

Wow new channel with good quality videos danm and honestly good knowledge, keep it up here as a early subscriber❤️

At last, someone said it! Why motivation is the key to learning anything! Honestly, if I had the kind of motivation to work on something that I have on the last day of submission, I would be sitting on the CEO seat of some big company by now.

love this, it's such an inspiration that could make me go back to gamedev! Subscribed :)

Great video can’t believe it doesn’t have a million views already

There are blind spots for sure, but there is honestly one book that should be foundational to anyone doing game design: The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses by Jesse Schell

I'm in

if youtube algorithm doesn't push this I'm going to break into their office and do it myself

I want more mep merps please XD

Im guessing you play cs due to the swear count?

Hopefully the atmosphere should be enough and not rely on jumpscare at all! A constant unease of something bad might happen that will never actually come or that its a gradual sense of dread can be more effective than cheap jumpscares.
