5 Indie Games That Taught Me Game Design

[@kelskye]

The game that comes to mind is Braid. The way it worked out a basic set of core playing mechanics, then organised the game around those mechanics in a progressive way is instructive.

[@HeuzyGameDevYT]

That’s a great example! Keeping your mechanics organized and building the game around simple mechanics is super important in game development.

great video, may actually make use of some of your advices in my game 👍 also wanna underline your high publish rate and what u say always sound very thoughtful (despite your apparent age with your voice ... )

[@HeuzyGameDevYT]

Ay thanks for leaving a comment! And thanks for the kind words. I’ve had a pretty bad upload rate in the past but I’m going on a bit of a roll right now, so we’ll see if it lasts!

i'm not a fan of screenshake everyone disalbes it who plays modded Celeste. i make my own mods it's a good way to learn game design. Celeste made their entire Fmod project available for learning purposes. I feel like making another Stardew is not a good idea. Bloomtown just did that, it's an amazing game but i don't think it's doing huge sales to be honest. the Game sphere is very flooded market right now. you gotta make some weird or really good , Maple Forest just got funded on kickstarter in one day. do you know about this game?

[@HeuzyGameDevYT]

Yeah mods are a great way to learn game design! And yeah it’s hard to recreate great games. And I haven’t heard of it, I’ll check it out though!

verry good video. you make alot of good examples. a small thing tho: can you try to speak more clearly?

[@HeuzyGameDevYT]

Thank you! And yeah that’s something I need to work on, and a big reason it was worse in this video was that I was a little sick while making it.
