Very cool, down to earth info. Much appreciated 👍

I want to program a binary isometric game and I am torn between using Unity or Flutter

good vid bro, was worth a watch

That looks and feels so rad! As a Flutter dev to another, I really am impressed.

No, I’m depressed and sad, my Indee balloon is deflated to that of a discarded sock on the highway of life. Sniff

Maybe a good way of describing this version of immersion is the "dopamine hit" genre. For example, casino-style or cookie clicker level of immersion, where you're not really doing anything of inherent value, just triggering automatic responses in your brain.

Hey! Very useful. Do you recall what the formula for your Ratio is in the feature spreadsheet? I'd like to replicate something similar but I'm not seeing the pattern...

I think people should make the game that they want to play, if you don't love your game, nor will I.

code example please 😊😊

Great presentation and video. Thanks for this. Heh, thank god for the day job, because I'm going to be releasing a DRPG that will be so niche it may as well not exist. But you know, it's fun so, I'm doing it. But yeah, $1700 a month would not even be a quarter of my day job's income. Couldn't even pay rent with that, honestly. So for me, the why bother bit is, well for fun. It's fun for me to make a game, and I'm also a musician so I also spend a good deal of time making music. Game music yes, but also just doing some prog rock for the heck of it. So these things are just what I do for fun. But, the first-person, turn-based, DRPG genre is just not getting the love it could have, so I figure, this is a good one to have a go at. As far as halving the scope, I've done that, but I kinda feel like if the game is completed and then what you didn't use, or what you've cut, could potentially find its way into a next game. So, I don't throw anything away. You didn't say throw away, but I'm just saying. I have this same approach in my music, so I never have a shortage of new stuff later on, even if in the first project doesn't have room for that. The gamedev grind is real, in terms of the sheer amount of work that has to be done. Although, I don't know, I tend to always have a good time doing it, but maybe my brain is broken!

Would using more technology would cause you to think that the technology is less immersive, like if you use a washing machine or microwave alot,

I hope you're still working on stuff, I would love to see what else you can make! If you make something like this again, I would heavily suggest making the soundtrack a bit more dynamic. The song that was playing during the reveal at the very end threw off the vibes pretty hard, didn't drive the emotion that I was feeling due to the reveal so I had to mute the music for the final section. Other than that I don't have any complaints so far with my first playthrough.

the thing thats most hard for me is to find best practice solutions for things i wanna add to the game :D like an inventory or update system for my character etc. :D sure there are a lot of videos and forums for different topics but a lot of times im just lost xD do u have some good sources to find stuff like that? I was in Unity and now im using Godot :D

When will it be released?

so nice seeing you put this together over time, looks so cool

Looking pretty responsive! How is the plot going to be like?

🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Wow, looks exciting 🤩

Nice man! Looking forward to playing this. Is there gonna be a demo available?

Looks like it's coming together!

Love it.

Well now that it’s mid 2024, I’m getting an m1 ultra Mac Studio for $1333 2nd hand

Agree about AI hype. Bro, you the best ❤.

I really FEEL this video. Years and years of gradually learning solo game dev in the background of life... Forcing myself to take the scope down to a quarter is very realistic and may actually lead to a finished project, rather than a 20 year struggle.

I honestly can't believe I've been learning to develop games from KZbin for 4 years and never seen you, this is extremely informative and soo helpful for someone trying to break into the industry 👏 great work bro instant sub

I enjoy watching your videos and I am learning Flutter too, I am interested in learning how to use Flutter to develop games

Will you ever walk through how you package your application and ship it?

👍🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥

After Todays work with flutter.. i was so proud, because of what i did today.... then i saw this.... :) :) gj

It's coming together nicely... the FOV animation is looking really nice, and the path preview is also satisfying to watch.

Cool!

seems cool

I'll be honest with you I can less about the money. I don't mind making money but it's not a priority

So glad I found this channel. There's so much helpful stuff in here I can take forward to my 2nd game. Thanks for your insights!

Honestly these days I youtube search first before I try to find the info anywhere else. KZbin search often enough also comes with a personal expert that teaches you what to even look for. For example the other day, I was looking for electric coffee grinder, and i found coffee expert youtuber with 2M subscribers, that taught me how different types of burs affect the final taste of the coffee. So when i was looking into reviews of some grinders I had way better idea of what to look for. Even STEM questions often lead you to your answer faster than trough the ad filled Google search.

Highly appreciate these snippets, Filip. These things are important to talk about.

It's a shame Kagi don't offer region pricing, feel the monthly price will be too steep for the majority of the world

I am happy to see that you cover this topic. I really dislike it when products and services do not stick to the values declared at the time that you were buying/start using them. It looks like wily people are replacing the intelligent ones at google.

We were SO lucky to have you for all those years that we did. I'm sorry I missed you at this I.O.

Thanks for sharing with us your day to day tool, i started to like it more ! and i find it really useful

My problem with google is 1. I cannot block search results. 2. Google prefer websites with trackers. 3. Google prefers mass media websites. I want to block all mass media websites. BBC, CNN and so on... So they never show up in search results at all. I want peoples internet not corporations and governments propaganda. Even youtube. Look up some subject like war or earthquake in some place or whatever along those lines. 99% of channels will be mass media channels. I vey much doubt that people actually experiencing event event did not film and upload. I know many people do, but I don't care about news anymore. I got tired of constantly bad news. As you said in one video, bad news are good news. It is never ending pit of bad news and propaganda. I don' t want to take that in anymore. My life won't get better, only worse if anything. In this word multiple bad events happen every second. Loudest news will reach me one way or another anyway. And this is why I avoid mass media as much as possible, but they are on top google search results. Thinking to make plugin that will filter web content and remove anything linked to these websites i have blacklisted.

Thank you for sharing! I am about to start a project. I needed this motivation and advice!🙂👍

I have none of those but very insightful video..

Flutterum 🤔

to be honest i'll pay gladly for search that works because google is now at a point when you search for something just a little niece it spits out mostly unusable results and often ignores keywords witch makes me think behind the search results is an llm now and i really dislike that

Its funny because today Google chrome welcomed me with option to select my search engine and Google was the last one one the list xD. I wonder why they are making such a mistake. Is it EU law?

Thanks for the Kagi tip! Gave it a try and was instantly impressed with the more relevant results from the first search I tried.

It’s a bit sad that the old internet is disappearing.

I JUST discovered Kagi about two hours ago. I went from their Free tier, to their $5 tier, to their $10 tier within an hour. (Probably going to their top tier next month.) I have not been this excited for search since....well since I discovered GOPHER back in '98. The introduction of Google was great but we had searches before. Google just felt like a refined version of that. So it was great but it didn't feel like something massively new. Kage does feel like a return to a better search. The reason being is the enshittification of search over the last 10 years. It is like swimming through sewage and then being dumped into the ocean and sunlight. It is so much better. I just discovered the ability to prioritize or deprioritize domains and had a geekgasm. Its little stuff like that is missing in anything Google. Now its just shoving AI down your throat, even if consumers want it or not. Kagi is doing it right. Have it as an option, not a requirement.

i dont beleiv tht ai is in golden era, you cnt trust to machine only if you have the necessary knowledge in the damain tht make you can distinguich btwn the true infos and the fallacy
