There comes a time when men must.

[@zacjohnston5288]

Desert survival game ?

[@PatientMeteor74]

Making a full-scale game is certainly an undertaking. Just remember that you can always iterate, but don't lose sight of the goal. Even if you restart it entirely, you still have everything you've learned as a head start up the mountain. Good luck, Farket :)

lol

[@Ryano-ul3pg]

Hope this helps. All I can do at the moment. Look forward to your progress. Been watching since original forest days but never interacted. Good luck on your next journey.

[@Farket]

Cheers, definitely helps. Much appreciated.

[@arctrooperclaw]

you have my full support if or when you release anything. this is a really smart move and I look forward to seeing what you do. best of luck, Farket

[@MichaelPohoreski]

Professional game dev here. I've been shipping games since 1996. There is a TON of stuff to know: Gameplay, UI, Physics, Rendering, Networking. 1. Use an engine (UE, Unity, Godot, etc.) 2. Prototype! If a game with placeholder art isn't fun, then a game with final art won't be either. 3. Keep the focus small 4. Iterate, Iterate, Iterate. 5. Polish, polish, polish. Good luck! Feel free to reach out to me if you want more free game dev tips.

[@GangsterFrankensteinComputer]

You forgot the part were you apply for a grant lol.

[@jakes-dev1337]

You said so much and so little.

[@jxmesmxckey]

Not sure what being Polish has to do with game development

[@tpoad0079]

why are yall hating? this is sound advice

[@SummonAtInconvinience]

first step is creating GDD and then proceeding with game development

[@Martin_xd69]

Farket became a box of surprises after quitting Sons of The Forest forever, he's on his character development arc now, first Minecraft, then making a game. Anyway, you'll have my full support, if it makes you happy and it's practically free, I see no reason not to.

[@straight-buffoonery]

I personally cannot wait to see where this takes you. I've always appreciated your vision of how The Forest works and how it could be improved. I think if you can fine-tune your craft you have the mind to make an amazing game. Can't wait to see where this takes us! Thanks for making us a part of your journey

[@tupcho33]

Guy gets so disappointed of sons of the Forrest he decided to make his own game . Your will is inspiring, i hope you get recognised and have many challenges to learn from

[@notyopek]

U really seem like a wise, kind, inspiring man hope we can be updated on your game dev journey. That really seems like something intresting to see tbh like going from 0 knowledge about something to creating a whole game is pretty crazy.

[@H3rcules]

love to see this tbh .. so many game devs out there claim to play games or play their own game but somehow miss out on all the things Us actual players complain about so having a real player make games is top tier.

[@forcetz]

1:58 I completely agree with you on this

[@santiagobarbosa615]

This is so cool. GL on your game dev journey! If you dont want to deal with publishers and stuff doing videos about the game dev is always an option. Hopefully a good one cause I like your videos and game dev

[@equalsCMsquared]

Good luck! You can do it!

[@fancyflautist]

I can’t wait to see what you make!!! Congrats on learning a new skill!

[@Pulser158]

Got huge respect for you man. Hope all goes well with anything you try to do in the future. 😎😎

[@yerpyerp]

Proud of you brother. Keep at it. We need devs like you.

[@bigguy698]

Hell yeah man. Keep up the hard work and whenever you decide to release this game I will definitely be buying and checking it out. I've always liked your common sense takes and honesty on games and mechanics so I'm very interested to see what you come up with.

[@ImNotFine44]

ive started the game dev journey this year too! started a tafe course 8 weeks ago and you already have more done than i have in only 2 weeks. hope you end up getting where you want by the end of the year! as much as i enjoyed your 'the forest' content, when you quit 'sons of the forest' i was quite glad to see you try new things and not be confined to a game series that was suffocating you.

[@officialauspecs1285]

Huge undertaking big fella, good luck. I've been solo developing an open-world, bushcraft survival game for 3 years now in UE and I'm only just starting to think about making the teaser trailer and doing the reveal. 8-18hrs work minimum every day for 3 years, if you can get others on board to help speed things up I'd recommend it. Keep us updated.

[@kraccbaccoriginal]

What is your job that you have enough time for that?

[@officialauspecs1285]

@@kraccbaccoriginal So I'm a drainlayer by trade, running a business so I can choose my hours. I take at least 2-3 workdays off a week for the game and spend weekends on it too. So on a day I do my actual job i'll only get 8-10 hours or so in but on a day when im not working I usually do 16-18 hours. When I first started I was stuck in a covid lockdown so was doing 20 hours a day for a few months while I was learning UE. It was like a fever dream.

Duuude. This is so cool. I' m learning unity too right now. I've been watching your forest videos and played the forest since the very early days and seeing you going the same way im trying to go is such a good feeling ❤ pls make more content like this. There's a lot of people who like these types of videos, trust me. Looking forward to see your games

[@northernuteexperience7559]

Excited to see what you come up with!!

[@notoriousn8381]

I'm all for this, feels like the right thing for you to do next. I'm sure once you get far enough, even if it takes more than a year, you can get patron backers and other supporters to jump in on it. Wish you luck and look forward to playing. We share the same frustrations with games so I can only imagine whatever you make I'll enjoy haha!

[@3urobeat2]

Good luck! I'm excited to see what you'll create. I have been programming for around 8 years now and also always wanted to check out game development but haven't done so yet

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

Mist survival was one dev, for years. You can def do it and we'd all love to see the progress! Actually a brilliant idea for a series i think would be fascinating to see the game develop! Ive been learning japanese for the last year and its soooo hard when you first start but there's a tipping pouint when suddenly yoiu cans tart building on the basics. Do it!!

[@cutterbacon]

Mist survival utterly ruined by the single dev. The game was good fun but now utter garbage. So many games ruined later on by devs with zero clue.

[@china_airguns]

I remember the guy who made a zombie shooter within a week - the project is free at Steam, but I can not remember it`s name. I think Farket made a video about it a while ago.

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

@@cutterbacon this isnt about whether mist is any good though is it? its about whether farket COULD make a game on his own and that is the proof.

[@cutterbacon]

@@AIKIDOSILVERDALE He could make a game sure but my point is dont follow so many other devs failures by not listening to your player base.

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

@@cutterbacon Still unclear what your point is? Are you speaking on behalf of farkets player base and saying he shouldnt make a game? if so, where does this data come from?

[@UthatNOOB]

this is amazing i hope you make more videos about what you learn about coding and game dev and that

[@ynvch]

¡Gracias!

[@Christopher-cr7pw]

I'm here to support your journey. Keep it up.

[@blakeforster5466]

Good luck and keep up the good work Farket, will always be a fan of yours. I'm making my own game as well in my free time, a turn based rpg, so understand how daunting it can all be, especially when you've got no previous experience. Good luck man, hope it all goes well!

[@tlrush2]

[@Dexedus]

Wishing you the absolute best of luck. You have a good eye for what makes games fun and what doesn't. I am sure you'll find success because of this. I myself recently quit my job as an electrician to study software development full time. It also feels daunting, but like you I just love learning and it makes me happy. All the best

Good luck to you in your new endeavor! Looking forward to seeing what it is you're planning.

I love that you didn’t just stop uploading completely when you found out KZbin isn’t THE thing for you anymore. You tell us about it, and let us join you on your journey and development, and at least for me, that freedom and switching to whatever you feel like is somewhat inspiring, so… thank you I guess, for teaching me a bit

[@xDRAGONSTARx]

This is a great idea! You are a smart & capable man, I think you will do great at this! I play Ark, never got into Sons of Forest, I like Ark cause you have a mixture of building, animals/breeding and PVP. I will be interested in seeing what you come up with. Looking forward to this.

[@Glimiril]

Don't forget you've earned a lot of kudos and there'll be plenty willing to help, sometimes when coding things, you can get so wrapped up in it, that things like assets and textures etc become a thing you wish you just had but actually getting around to making them feels like a major distraction, yet there are wonderful people out here who love doing those things, just keep that in mind dude. Look at an example of Manor Lords a one person at its heart, but using others to accomplish the goal. Wishing you all the best.

[@Badbigwolf]

You are officially the ONLY KZbin channel I have notifications turned on for. I have casually watched your videos for years. I loved the forest and loved watching you learn about patrol movements, base locations, etc. Like you, I was very excited for SOTF but felt let down. It doesn’t make sense to me that they got rid of the systems that gave you something to aim for. Making better equipment as an example. I have no reason for get skins in SOTF unless I really want a rug. Anyway, all that to say I am ready to snap up whatever game you make. I imagine since we share a lot of the same feelings about the games I’ve watched you play and I don’t feel excited for anything on the market either, I’d love to see what you come up with. So, notifications on, ready to download. Good luck brother.
