I'm working on my very first game ever right now. Like you i have a background in movie making (i was a movie editor). I'm a very visual minded person, coding to me makes no sense and find it very hard to learn it (i tried believe me). I use playmaker but with Bolt becoming free to use i did try it. I find it confusing, maybe because i started with Playmaker and things make more sense to me there. I do agree that if you see progress it keeps you motivated longer. When i tried bolt i became less thrilled about working on my game as it took me forever to study tutorials and then in the end i still didn't feel like i learned something (not the tutorial fault, just my mind). I tried simple things and it didn't work, meanwhile i had those things working playmaker. So i moved back again and feel much more motivated. Hopefully i understand bolt better once i got my game completed. Seeing Bolt is much closer to the blueprint system of the unreal engine i figure i might understand that one a bit better to and can make games with that engine as well some day. Thanks for the video, it was very informative!

Visual learner myself, I have been making 3D models and material maps for decades. When I tried to learn to code I couldn't grasp it and my natural ability to typo made syntax errors frustrating. Playmaker is exactly what I needed, all of the functions I needed and none of the errors. I've managed some pretty complicated things with it too. Random character generators with procedural elements to keep things realistic, full inventory UI systems, dialogue system (although you are better off with an asset store script that can work along side playmaker for this).. Everything is doable but it takes some planning to avoid messy node graphs.

Great video! I, myself make Bolt Tutorials, just a choice that I made to use Bolt. BTW, you can use Per Second node/unit in Bolt instead of delta time and float multiplication. And there is a Timer node/unit you can use so that you don't have to worry about Coroutine.

I wish I saw this video 2 years ago, i only knew playmaker and didn't want to spend any money as I don't believe in myself I would ever get the money back. That's why I just started self learning code the hard way, by creating prototypes of games to learn code. I'm now at a level that I understand code, know how to do some basic stuff (like your game) but it takes so long and spelling errors are made so easily. I think bolt would be perfect for me rn, it's free, fairly easy to learn but really quick to use if you can't type fast. It was noticable that bolt was free as it was less "finished" and more just code visualized. Using bolt will also improve my coding logic because my code is always messy... Thank you for this video, this is a perfect example of both methods. I agree if you are a complete unity beginner that playmaker is perfect but sad part is that it isn't free, so for anyone not willing to pay (like me) this is a problem because when u are at a certain level of bolt/coding i don't think many people are willing to playmaker just because it's easier to use but has less power (imo)

I purchased playmaker 4 years ago when I knew nothing about c#. I was so frustrated with the limitations of playmaker that I decided just to learn c#. Since unity purchased bolt I've been using it more and more for prototyping however I still find it limiting compared to know c#. I greatly enjoy the simplicity bolt has with the fuzzy finder which playmaker never had. I recommend bolt, not just be it is free but you can learn c# concepts while learning bolt.

This is a good video about visual scripting. In my case, I totally switched from Playmaker to C#, and the biggest reason was co-op with other programmers. After 4 games made with C#, I made a video which tells why I changed from Playmaker to C#. One of big changes of scripting with C#, I understood how to access and modify component's properties. This made me change whole of game making from Unity. :)

Good video, i have previously used both. Playmaker was my initial goto, then bolt.. Well now i don't use either anymore, i write code instead. In my experience playmaker was really good to get some results REALLY FAST, even without knowing what you where doing. ;) Bolt i never really saw the benefit because i write faster than i drag out the flowgraphs. Today i use so many assets, but not the visual scripting tools which ofcourse is foolish because you can still mix coding with either playmaker or bolt as needed. People often mistakenly think once you use PM or Bolt then you can't do code, well it all works together ;)

Bolt looks very similar to UE4's Blueprint system. If I had to choose between the Playmaker or bolt, I would go Bolt. It just looks better. With that said, if you can figure these out, coding shouldn't be too hard for you. These look like drag and drop code instead of typing it out. You're still going to have to know how code works to get anything done.

@@martinvanstein.youtube You don't need to use Time.deltaTime, just like the option you have to select in Playmaker "Per Second" in Bolt you have units/nodes "Per Second". Any tool you use Playmaker, Bolt or C# your need to learn and improve and that takes time. That is why you need to make sure to learn as little amount of tools that you are not planning to use in the long run. If your end goal is C# the fastest way to get there is learn C#. If you have all you need in life in Playmaker then use Playmaker.

Coming from Unreal Engine the dream finally comes true, let's hope they improve it and make it as a native feature so you don't want to import it everytime. BOLT is a like a lightning bolt for creative people, no more excuses to make stuff inside UNITY anymore, Visual scripting is a very powerful approach & it is everywhere, just see how many people can EASILY design Instagram filters using "SPARK AR" which uses exactly the same principle but using "JavaScript". If you have some notions of programming, BOLT is the way to go.

Long shot here but I plan on attending Full Sail university. My two areas are either bachelors than master in game design or bachelors game development than masters game design if possible. My question is your schedule as my life and work seem similar what did you do to just take moments to breath or destress

i gave up C#. i learned a lot but couldnt take it anymore. still trying to get basic controls working months later. and now trying to get them working with cinemachine, ....... it broke everything. so its either bolt or give up forever. playmaker looks too weird and limiting to me.

I'm more into the art side of things when it comes to my personal game dev journey. However, for my journey I want to learn some C#. I want to understand what is actually happening under the hood. So for this I chose Bolt. Now, that doesn't mean I have written off Play Maker. I will probably use it and mess around with it because it IS a tool just like Bolt and like all TOOLS we must know when and where to use them. Thanks for making a video that really outlines the decision making process of using a TOOL and the reasons a person would choose to use 1 tool over another. I know I added my own 2 cents but hopefully this helps anyone else that is on the fence on what to use with your own goals in mind. Cheers! Stay healthy and stay sane! now Game ON!!

I will never go for playmaker again as i coded a mini game, had a technical problem with namespace references getting messed up. Playmaker does not get properly backed up like C# code does, since it saves your FSMs internally, and once something goes wrong with your references (missing script error), that's it, up in smoke. I think if you save the meta files too, there might be a way to rebuild, but it's a lot of work Either way, it put me off Playmaker for good.

If I was on a team and I was a programmer supporting game designers I think I'd choose Bolt. I'd then try to reproduce the high level pieces (or even higher level) of PlayMaker for the designers to place in their flows. That way they'd get the ease of PlayMaker but the flexibility to break out. But of course if you're not on a team and you don't have someone to make high level scripts for Bolt then certainly you should choose PlayMaker. I'd be a little surprised tho if someone doesn't make an asset, maybe even Unity, with a few hundred higher level pieces for Bolt.

Thank you very much for this educational video! I hope one day I will be able a game as good as The First Tree without being a programmer god, but with decent knowledge of C# instead. Bolt is an insta-pick, and I will be using it from now on. I do have a question thought, do you think making a good game in less than 1 year of development is possible, and if yes, what would you advise to someone wanting to make a game in such a time frame? I am interested in making a story driven game in less than 1 year, so any input would be appreciated!

It does count, story driven games more about cutscenes or text? Is it interactive or not?

@@DiiaBloodyRain It is interactive, but I am opting for a more see as you go kind of feel. A good example to compare would be Dear Esther, where you don't really have many cutscenes, and most gameplay is just walking and looking around. I do want my project to have a few collectibles , but nothing too extraordinary as i want to focus on the narative.

my problem is that when I use stuff like this it feels like I didn't really make the game, but just used some artificial boost to get ahead instead of learning to code, its like taking steroids without ever exercising.

It’s easier for sure. Just takes way longer in the long run. Especially with larger projects. The spaghetti gets too big and inefficient, and complex actions need to be coded anyway usually.
