Before commenting:
"What about roblox?":
A lot of people mentionned Roblox as a way to learn how to make 3D games, and that's completely valid! I didn't think about mentioning roblox while making this video because I have absolutely 0 experience with it. Last time I've seriously used roblox was in 2012 at best. But I've been told by many people that Roblox is a great way to learn how to make 3D games, and that I shouldn't underestimate its power! So if you really want to make 3D games and you don't have a lot of experience, you might want to look into Roblox!
"Actually Unity is easy to learn because I learned it easily":
If you thought Unity was easy to learn, then great! That's actually really cool! But not everyone is as good at learning as you, and the tips in my video mostly applies to people who aren't as good to learn new things. If you think you have what it takes to learn unity with no prior experience, then by all means, go ahead. But proceed at your own risks.
Other clarifications:
Construct 3 is not actually free, but it does have a free trial
Undertale was made in Game Maker 1, hence why I only mentioned Deltarune because its made in GMS2
Baba Is You was actually made in Multimedia Fusion 2, which is the predecessor to Clickteam Fusion 2.5, it’s the same thing but they just changed the name between version 2 and 2.5
The RPG Maker engine program itself isn’t open source, but the code that your game runs on is.

[@BinzuDev]

Hello there! Thank you for watching the video till the end and looking at the comments! This is the first video I’ve made in this style and I plan on doing more in the future! So if you enjoyed this video, and want to see more like it, you know what to do. I don’t need to remind you how youtube works. This video took a while to make (about a month) because I had a lot of new things to learn, drawing animations, writing scripts, making high quality voice recordings, getting used to hearing my own voice, pronouncing words clearly when I have a habit of mumbling, making the absolute most out of my mediocre video editing program, etc. But now that I know all that, my next videos should be a lot easier and faster to make hopefully. If you know someone who wants to get into gamedev or is just starting out… you know idk maybe you could share this video with them or something you know idk I’m just sayin’ you know?

[@TVFLabs]

Game dev here, this is exactly how I finally learned to make games. So if you're wondering whether or not this works, I can tell you it definitely does. I wish I could've had this advice before I started, rather than having to learn the hard way. Hearing that you shouldn't try to make your dream game right away might be disappointing, but it couldn't be more true. Next time someone I know wants to learn to make games, I'm 100% going to send them this video.

[@davidemeloni423]

Same. This is absolutely true, in fact in sticking around with gdevelop at the moment. A great engine

[@percysimmerman5437]

I really loved his phrasing of the final boss vs the tutorial. It makes it seem less like giving up on your dream game and more like slowly ramping up for it.

[@OBEYLumeify]

By any chance would you be able to give someone advice on how to begin developing a game similar to dragonvale/monsterlegends?

[@TVFLabs]

@@OBEYLumeify Sorry but I really can't, for a few reasons: 1. When I said I was a "game dev" that was maybe setting expectations a bit too high; on second thought I probably shouldn't have worded it that way since I'm very much still learning. I've made a few small projects but I haven't come close to, say, putting anything on Steam yet. So I'm not all that qualified to give advice for most game genres as I haven't tried developing any games in them myself. 2. I actually have never heard of either of those games before, so uh, I'm definitely the wrong person to ask. If I had to offer any advice, it would be to break the game you want to recreate into smaller and smaller pieces. Like, let's say you want to make a Minecraft clone. Instead of asking, "how do I make Minecraft," you should ask yourself a ton of smaller questions like, "how do I make terrain generation," and "how do I let the player build stuff," and then break those down even further into things like, "how do I make it so when the player left clicks, the block they're looking at gets deleted," and so on and so forth until you have a question you can actually answer. (if this video already said all that, whoops, because I don't remember if it did or not) I wish you luck with learning & making your game, though!

[@OBEYLumeify]

2:22 Personally, Scratch also helped me learn the general idea of *why* to write certain code, not *what* to write.

[@smallxplosion9546]

Yeah, I have great ideas on what to make when I fully get into development of REAL games, but I've just been making stuff in Scratch to get a feel for what it's like before I do so.

[@mattmartin7028]

I agree. Its like when you see some feature in a game you get how you can go about to code it, even if you have 0 coding knowledge, if that makes sense.

[@bean-official]

same

[@JoshyRB]

Well it does teach you about different topics and tools. Like Variables are a huge part of game development, and it’s part of Scratch too. I’ve learned everything about Variables because of Scratch. I also got better at understanding other things, like certain ways to use maths and physics to create ideas. Scratch doesn’t exactly teach you code, but it does definitely teach you ideas you’ll need to know for coding.

[@JoshyRB]

@@mattmartin7028I know what you mean. Sometimes when I’m playing games, or watching people play games, I imagine how different things are created and how they work in the game. Like if I discover a game that has done something other games have never done before, I try to think of ideas of how it was made. Like the portals in the Portal games for example, I thought of different ways the mechanic could’ve been done, and when I eventually watched videos on similar topics or how that exact mechanic is created, some of what I thought about was correct. I can figure out how things work in games, with barely any knowledge of coding and knowing how each thing is actually made. Another example is, if I saw footprints in snow in a game, I would be thinking about how they are shooting rays down from the feet of the player, and if they collide with a certain material and are within certain bounds (if touching edge of material, if angle too steep, etc), it will spawn a decal that gets mapped onto the surface of the material, which will fade out over time. Saying this makes me sound like a proper game dev, but I’m not, I haven’t really used anything special, it’s just things I’ve learned over the years from other stuff, and I can just put 2 and 2 together. I figure things out on my own also.

"Don't learn the engine to make a game, make a game to learn the engine." - BinzuDev

[@lachlan7181]

I'd also recommend you make a one-page and a 10-page document about your game. The one-page will summarise the entire game, briefly, efficiently and it will be your vision of what the game will be. The 10-page will go into detail, and you can do a longer document if your game is complex. These 2 documents are essential if you're designing your first game - it will be a reference point when you're not sure what to do next, and it will ensure that you don't stray too far from your original goals, it will also prevent you from biting off more than you can chew

[@EchinoStarefish]

Man, I think RPG Maker is underrated sometimes. The community for it is so vast and varied, you can get VERY creative with it. Of friggin course it's not as limitless as other engines, but I don't think it's as limited as people make it seem.

[@handsoaphandsoap]

Yeah, there’s a whole bunch of plugins and user generated features you can add to it to allow you to do a whole bunch of things. Of course you’d only use it to make an RPG, that’s what it was designed for, but it’s not as limiting as people think.

[@Nightmarish_]

You can technically do a lot in it. Not just RPGs or Puzzle games or horror. You can probably, technically, even do FNaF sit n survive-likes or side-scrolling/puzzle games. Now, should you use it for things like that? Probably not. But really, you can do a lot with plugins or even the engine itself. It can be powerful, if you know how to use it.

[@epochgd]

Learning logic before code definitely makes everything WAY easier. Great video! :D

[@hamingnu6610]

Definitely! And after that, learning the conventions that one may encounter in building the logic of a game using a programming language is much easier than diving straight into learning a programming language itself (Basically; starting to apply the logic you've learned into the framework of most typical programming languages, such as Object-oriented ones, etc. Without delving into a specific programming language or library). Of course, some people might find it a lot more intuitive to just dive straight into the deep end, but I'd like to think that - for every person who does that and succeeds, there are 10,000 others who've lost hope too early on in the process just because they couldn't wrap their head around something that's innately abstract, and requires a lot of other steps beforehand before enough confidence is achieved (e.g a lot of people dive into game development like a 2nd grader who dives into integral calculus, when they should be learning about basic math operations first).

[@karolinastrusa6321]

I agree this video is my fav

[@TayoEXE]

It's the reason "learning" other languages is much much easier once you have the foundations down of one, because the basic logic flow such as variables, if statements, loops, data types, functions, lists/arrays, etc., are foundational to most languages anyway. I remember first learning coding logic by using the drag and drop features of Game Maker like back in 2007 maybe. I went on to add in some code here and there but the foundational concepts of game coding logic of start, step/tick/update, timers, etc., started there for me.

We barely made it work in time , completeing the project MINUTES before the showcase(and it was still incomplete as we had to cut a bunch of stuff out cuz we couldn't get them to work in time). We got last place, unsuprisingly, but I was still really proud at what we did because the game was functional and for a project we did with almost no expirience, it turned out really good! We then promised that we'll remake the game a few years later when we get better, and see how it turns out.

My biggest dream was to make a game or somehow contribute in a game. When I watched a tutorial on how to code, I quickly lost focus. So when I asked people how they learned programming, they said: "I learned it in school". So I wanted to go to a school that teaches me that kind of stuff. But I couldn't because "I was too bad in math" "Oh no chance, you can't go to this school because you don't know math at all" because I always had trouble with mathematics and therefore was very limited on which school to attend to. So now I am going to some sort of vocational business school that doesn't have math. And I don't think I'll ever be a indie game developer like that. EVER. Idk. I would have loved to learn that in school. I would love school when I would learn things I actually care about. I guess I need to get really motivated and teach it myself somehow. In my free time. However, I won't have enough free time now because I'm entering adulthood and need to seek an actual job and some stuff. Man, life is so unfair sometimes.

im not really a game dev, but i would also add Renpy to the list of beginner friendly game engines! its been used to make Doki Doki Literature Club, and many other visual novel style games. its super easy to learn, and understand, especially with how many videos and tutorials are out there. the offical creators also have a directory for anyone who has any questions for how something works. its free, and even comes with a built-in tutorial game with its code accessable to learn from. ive been developing my own dream game on it, and it isnt such a pain to learn. the only downfall is how reliant on coding it is, and therefore can be really finicky. they have a support discord for any specific issues though, so it isnt too much of a hassle most of the time. solutions to common errors can even be found in many places online as well.

This is a quality video from a very small-known content creator! The editing and monochrome/sketched art style are very appealing.

Thanks for the vid, and the amazing background zelda music

[@Scribble_8298]

Thanks for the tips, this was a very well made video so keep up the good work!

I started using gamemaker studio 2 for 4 months and made a simple game about shooting furries in a 2d plataformer style, i was a begginer but i learnt a lot, made simple things but over time and the limitation of not capable of exporting those games made me lost interest in making games. But, after watching this video, i got my determination back, and i am going to try using godot, although i have a 4 gb ram with 50 gb space (5 gb of free space) laptop, that won't stop me from learning, as i choosen this to be my career when i grow up, i love programming, and this video made me want to program games again, Thank u BinzuDev, u deserve my sub :D

[@HellBlood]

50gb space ?

[@Flameonoodle]

​@@HellBloodYeah, im guessing it's like a 200$ HP crapbox marketed as a cheap and powerful work/office PC at Walmart

[@ilikemaccaroni28]

Your point about programming logic is definitely true. I started in Scratch and then moved to Unreal Engine, and everytime I try to do something I think about how I would do it in Scratch and then use the Unreal Engine equivalent.

[@TheBreadPirate]

I needed this. Thank you so much for the advice sensei.

[@BinzuDev]

Oh hey I've seen many of your videos before! I'm really glad my advice got to help you!

[@TheBreadPirate]

NO WAY! I'm honored to have been recognized by you. :D @@BinzuDev

[@yell0wnt]

Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to making a game and im impressed by your channel tysm!

[@xadok]

i've wanted to make a game for over 6 years now, and for some reason i never really thought about using scratch but now i feel enlightened, thank you for this

[@max-abobea]

Plot twist: Binzu's favorite part of being a game dev is making the player frustrated and feel the urge of throwing a potato onto the ground

[@inky2412]

I'm teaching myself how to code right now and this really helped me assess how I want to learn it. Gonna try messing around more in some engines for sure!

[@akm0815]

dude, thank you so much! i tried so hard to make a game using unity before and i just got stressed out (that was years ago). now, i've tried scratch and its making game development actually fun and an enjoyable experience.

[@top_cat0]

i was opened some random videos on yt for sound and I thought you had much much more subscribers with this nice video explanation etc. In short i think u will receive much more subs if you dont stop :)

[@tronitt]

Your section on tutorials is amazing advice that I wish I had learnt sooner. I have taken multiple coding classes (scratch and java) in school and they all worked by giving tutorials. The first class was the worst of the three, you did nothing yourself and just followed an insanely boring slideshow which was outdated, inconsistent, and hard to follow. The other teo weren't bad, but since it was a class in school we relied on teacher tutorials (which were better or worse depending on what class or teacher was teaching the class) and as soon as we did something on our own I had no idea what anything was. I couldn't remember the most basic things and ended up using past work and teacher lessons to, at times literally, copy and paste my work. In the end it led to frustration, confusion, and general disinterest in coding altogether. But then I started messing around a bit with scratch on my own, no guides, and I was having fun trying to piece together what I wanted to make while practically blind, it was kinda like building a puzzle and I had a blast! I hope many people can learn from the tips shown in this video and don't give up on their dreams. Tldr: The tips in this video, particularly the tutorial part, is great advice for beginners such as myself.

[@MoltarX509]

Thanks man, this really helped me❤

[@user-ns8sm5qr9f]

man your amazing bro thanks for these tips iam trying to learn game dev in unity

[@YippeeDev]

Thank you so much! I was stuck after using scratch for 2 years and GDevelop for 1 year. Amazing video!

[@xRoxxanne]

I've been looking all over for something like this! I really needed it, thank you! Edit: Ever since I watched this video, I have started coding and understanding the basics! Thank you so much, I wouldnt have done this without you!

[@PaperaAstrale]

This is exactly what i was looking for in order to start making games. Thanks!

[@ElNerdyz]

Thank you. I tried learning Unity and followed a tutorial online. As soon as something didn't work I had no idea what to do and ended up quitting. I just went on scratch and made a super simple game but I am happy and proud on how it came out! It will be a long road but I hope to be an amazing game dev no matter how long it takes!

[@ChuckSploder]

*laughs in already making my dream game on scratch*

[@iamfromspace6347]

8:30 sounds like animating

[@duckduck2766]

Thank you I love videos that show you how to realistically progress

[@0ldrabb1t25]

Thanks man! You brought me the motivation to do a game! :)

[@fififiz]

I've been a scratch user for 3 years and am now trying to make the transition over to Godot, and yes it does seem easier now that i have experience with programming through scratch! Hope this video inspires others to get into the hobby :D

[@Boltthe410]

Im doing the same thing :D

[@FloxSD]

hello so i am also starting to get into game dev but the problem is that i tried gdevelop i tried to make a full-sized top-down rpg(like darkwood) but the problem was that i tried to jump right in but your video was right now ill start using godot because they support 3d too thanks awesome video btw

[@pixelcat29]

This is probably the most helpful video for the future stuff I want to make, thank you.

[@F.ELEVEN]

This video also applies for people with experience, there's always some new tip to learn! Super fun and well made video!!

[@percysimmerman5437]

I've been trying for literal years to learn game dev. I've taken some programming courses, messed around in Scratch, tried Unity four separate times and given up quite a lot. The itch to make something always comes back though. Recently I made my first full game in Scratch (it's tiny, but I really hate using Scratch) and started browsing the Godot documentation. I may take a look at gamemaker just to be more familiar with engines in general. It's been a long journey, but I'm hoping I can stick with it this time. Thank you for the tips!

[@brosefftw2120]
