no long intro, no fillers, no over-explaining - why all youtube tutorials aren't like this one?

[@_SereneMango]

People don't know how to keep it simple.

[@obscurus1344]

@@_SereneMango Nah they just want money. Nothing wrong with that obviously.

[@_SereneMango]

@@obscurus1344 Eh... It's more complicated. But I do see the fact it's free content for the "consumer's" experience.

[@iProgramInCpp]

I got used to an intro that I was confused for a few seconds

[@ibroz2136]

I saw to videos about looking in the mouse direction The more popular one 14 mins the least popular on 2 mins and they do the same thing!

[@had_dev]

The video on it's own is the definition of "keep it simple" lol

[@andrelisboa7193]

no intro no "thnk u guys" no "before start lemme[...]" no "please like share coment ring the bell send me an email" keep it simple

[@heikkiaho6605]

Maybe the most important principle in arts

[@baertbellemans7500]

Staying true to one of his other videos

[@not_herobrine3752]

I see that this dude has a tutorial on how to make such tutorials. It was excellent.

[@MrAidaslit]

The literal "no bullshit" guide

[@CG64Mushro0m]

well, it doesnt have any bull shit

[@iteratedofficial]

@@CG64Mushro0m umm

[@MrAidaslit]

@Si He I think it just depends on the subject. I, for example, like short videos when i want someone to show me how to do something on a program. "how to connect vertices on Blender" for example. Whenever i want to learn something new, however, i often like extra input on the subject to gain deeper understanding. a simple example would be when i was learning functions in programming and i got to the 'return' statement. I was told that 'return' is always used at the end of a function. thus i assumed its what i put at the end and only later did i realise by myself that 'return' is what ends the function, thus i could use it in an if statement and etc.

[@blaster1567]

I love this video so much, I completely forgot what it was like to get an instant answer

[@andrewgravesen2662]

TLDW: Watch the video because it's good and to the point

[@tobyk5091]

Actually really well done. The repetition of “Keep it simple” and the short length work in this videos favor in my opinion

[@EchoHeo]

are you tricking people into actually improving their art skills

[@yosuanicolaus]

Damn... Now I'm going to get better at art. I should've noticed.

[@SuperStormNorm]

This is the best video my dude, keeping it straight to the content, no intro, no filler, just straight in there.

[@nullFoo]

Dude a tutorial that actually just tells you the answer right off the bat? Youre amazing bro

[@jake3111]

If you ever release a video that does have an intro I'm unsubscribing

[@mehmeh8883]

This is like the best *simple* thing i have watched ever in my very *simple* life ..good video!

[@3rdDegree_]

Lowkey caught me off guard with the start of the video. I am so used to people way under-explaining and then having a 45second intro just to not tell you the right thing. Thanks for actually being a good KZbinr. :)

[@circlesho5645]

Alternatively, use a unique art style that, though it isn't conventionally attractive or doesn't require a lot of skill, gives the game a certain atmosphere and ends up being essential to the experience. A la Space Funeral and other off-beat low bit games.

[@SenshiSunPower]

It doesn't have to be low-bit. That flat-colour, wobbly outline Flash style can look good too.

[@estusf1ask]

Working on my first game as a little side project. I started thinking about assets and making it sexy and then i stumbled on your video. Subbed the second i realized there was no long drawn out intro, and the information immediately made sense. Please keep doing what you're doing. You deserve more subs

[@XDTuber]

This video helped me a lot. And thanks for all your content on godot

[@amirsoleymani2979]

Damn that's the kind of straightforwardness I'm looking for. Even had time for that cool mech game at the end, keep up the good work man!

[@retinas2001]

So that's what Marx meant when he said that he's shaped like a friend.

[@kumarvaibhav6425]

So like, do I keep it simple or what?

[@blagojastojkoski4059]

I consider myself a really good artist, but damn, those websites for color palettes you recommended are awesome! This is the exact thing I was looking for just to give some nice color matches for illustrations and game art!

Thank you for the tips

[@Vallee152]

simple, easy, intuitive

[@sommmen]

I needed to hear this!

[@sommmen]

@Miziziziz i could use some advise however. I'm making a 2d top-down space strategy game, you know planets and ships going between that kind of stuff. I find it hard to pick colors for this. For example, when i make a planet it will need green, blue, and white to represent skies, grass water etc. The same goes for a ship, the exhaust of the engine should be red etc. Also things like an error situation (Wrong move or something) is just always red. How can i pick these 'additional' colors and make them complement my color scheme? i read an article on tutsplus 'Picking a Color Palette for Your Game's Artwork' that said something about creating a color table out of a single color with complementary colors, but i could not find any tools or something to generate that for me.

[@luminatron]

Oh my god I want that game on the second example

[@MisterioJudaS]

thanks so much

[@foolserrand6261]

Awesome!

[@HamishHT]

i don't even make games but watch these vids because your advice is spot on

[@matzieq]

One minute and more information that most people are able to put into 20 minutes. Sub.

[@AuliyaasGames]

EXCELLENT oh my gosh! This is so helpful. I can make art no problem, but composition kills me. Thanks for the apt explanation :)

[@Miziziziz]

Try making art with pure 1bit black and white, I found that really helped me with composition

[@markusTegelane]

thanks for the tutorial

[@GentleMannOfHats]

I'm so late to the video but I love how direct it is.

[@dandymcgee]

I know the title of the video is "look good" but it's important to also point out that a huge reason his examples at the end feel alive is the audio. Don't forget audio!

[@r1clipdat]

Can you make videos on all of my uni modules? If only every guide was straight to the point like this.

[@cesarfernandez2368]

thouse are good advises thanks!

[@PirateKnO]

As a programmer that wants to make game dev as hobby this are great advises thank you
