Can I Still Make A Game After 17 Months?

I haven't successfully made a game or a video for 17 months. In this video, I see if I can still make one by making a game in 12 hours, but without any help from things like Google or ChatGPT...

Who is this random person. Never heard of him.

[@ArcherThe2nd]

LETS GO MAN!!! I completely get what you said about the difficulty of being a game dev youtuber. Making a good game that is actually interesting/fun while also controlling its scope so it doesn't take months to make. Then documenting the development, scripting the video, editing, thumbnail creation... Its alot! However that is why I personally love game dev youtubers/am one myself. You produce actual art instead of just simply reacting to a video or playing a game. You do not leave your viewers with just smiles and laughs, but also a full on game to play. You should be proud.

[@DevBanana]

@@ArcherThe2nd thanks for understanding! You're right tho it definitely is an awesome thing, getting to produce a full game does feel pretty special even if it's a lot of work!

[@squeakymonjuer]

[@ggWorksYT]

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[@SS.StarlightStudios]

I really believe that the topic of game devs "mental states" is something that isn't really very well touched upon and I really appriciate that you were actually talking about it. Also, in my opinion, putting on stress and stuff for ART just feels wront, making games is art, making the music- that's art, writing, drawing, making the videos - editing, it's all art and anything that's creative shouldn't be pushed on since it can actually first ruin your creativity/making something you don't want to make, art shouldn't be because you want to get millions of views (nowdays that is a real goal and I totaly get it, since you get paid for it and can actually go fulltime which is a really nice thing that the internet has provided us) but creativity can't be forced, creativity shall be made for the sake of the joy of making and perhaps seeing other people enjoy it too and then you look back, smile and say to yourself, I actually made that... Btw, glad to have you back. O' Captain My Captain

[@DevBanana]

Yeah you're definitely right! It's always the most fun when you're doing it purely because you want to make something

[@Ibadullah]

Id like to give you some advice. Dont put these small time contraints all the time (keyword : all the time). Yes it makes the video engaging. But you dont get to show your full potential. Sometimes makes it a good challenge. But always make it annoying. Make it bigger maybe? Like 3 days? Nah 3 days is still too small.

[@DevBanana]

Unfortunately for me sometimes it is the only way to motivate myself to actually complete a project. I'd like to work on longer projects but it's also just very hard especially now I'm pretty busy

[@justabornchicken]

He's backkkk!!!!

[@butterdogoficcial]

[@MTMG_real]

900 views is so sad tho

[@DevBanana]

lmao oh well

[@OkCoffeeIsNice]

Hey DevBanana bit of a odd question and I know you might not respond but where did you get the paper background thing with the changing color?

[@DevBanana]

I'm pretty sure I got that from a website called Pexels and it was just white, and then in my editor I put the colour over it and keyframed it to change colour

[@nilpyc307]

make a rouge like fnaf game

[@savvyfn350]

i thought you were dead...

[@YouTuberski]

make more game development videos

[@TheLazyCowboy1]

You put too much effort into making these videos. Stop spoiling us with the special effects and careful scripts and music and whatnot, and just give us clips of development! Of course, do what you want, but don't feel a pressure to keep every mindless KZbin viewer interested. The views aren't what matter, the thoughtful engagement is.

[@457Deniz457]

Srsly dude why u dont make a nice mobile game? U will get tons of money :)

[@Sujosh]

Do u remember me bro?

[@rugbug4k]

first
