How do YOU overcome procrastination?

[@tpxalpha]

i'll tell you tomorrow

[@_Darko]

I dont

[@KINGMASKYT]

I do what you dont and it works

[@KINGMASKYT]

@Reece Geofroy I am happy that you choosed to make another video AND DONT MAKE IT A DEVLOG, THAT IS TOTALY FINE! I AM NOT ANGRY!

[@micyoz5283]

I put a limit on how long a break can be. I’ve discovered that if I don’t work on something for more than a month, it’s really hard to get back to. So I just make sure I don’t pass that

[@DankSoss]

I feel this. I'm 32 and figure this is why I didn't sell my music in my 20s. I ended up making a successful Pest Control business instead. It was successful because I JUST DID IT. I wasn't irrationally obsessive about my pest control and I think that's what helped me! I'm going to apply that to my new gamedev journey!

[@KINGMASKYT]

The opening shot of reece smashing keyboard with his head is in truth rear video of reece codeing in gamemaker2

[@PearlyTate]

Fearing failure isolates you from success. Remember, it is always better to score 20 outta 100 than 5 outta 7. in the end of the day ratings doesnt matter as much as solid work done, keep the grind up, reece, and everyone else who keep it real.

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Definitely agree with you here Elliot, good luck to you as well!

[@ray2op]

Your videos along with all the other wonderful indie devs in this community keep me motivated quite literally every day while I'm on my own indie dev adventure. Thanks for keeping it real bro, it helps big-time.

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Means a lot to hear this Ray! 💜😁

[@BobrLovr]

I had to put off game dev for a while to rebuild my foundation in math. I found that I was struggling with linear algebra and trig so I had to go back and just learn everything from scratch. Without doing that I would have probably just continued to beat my head against the wall whenever some trig came up in my games (Which It always does) now I'm confident and even excited when those issues pop up when I used to run away and play Apex legends instead

[@cheepcheep2204]

Last time I was this early this channel made gamedev and not motivation videos only

[@indieprogress7170]

Great video. Failure is the key to Progress!!!

[@ReeceGeofroy]

You got that right! 😁

[@TonsOfHunStudios]

Can't spell success without failure! Well you can, but I completely get your point :D Stuff is going to go wrong and never be perfect, especially your first time trying. Hope NextFest goes well!

[@bitbraindev]

Great video. My goal is not to create "the perfect RPG" but rather work every week on my RPG and polish it on the way. Obviously, as developers, we need to draw the line somewhere and you could spend decades on a project without ever releasing it just because there are always things you can make slightly better. Let us not forget why we are here in the first place: to enjoy making games.

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Exactlyy! Well said man 😁

[@DuoVersal]

Expecting perfection will only lead to IMperfection

[@beardordie5308]

Make sure you cross your T's and dot your I's when dealing with user contributions. You have to get their names and signatures, parents signatures if they're under 18, and some kind of legal waiver mumbo jumbo so they can't sue for a portion of your proceeds.

[@ReeceGeofroy]

For sure, always have to be careful with these kinds of things

[@micyoz5283]

*Me uses this video to procrastinate getting work done on my game*

[@happyc6770]

thank you for the motivation=)

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Glad you found this helpful!

[@jaerker]

I'm still struggling with procrastinating.. thanks for the tips, really like your videos ^^

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Glad you like them zirehnox!

[@micyoz5283]

Wait what? 3:02 is *literally* what I’m doing. I stopped development to make songs on fls and practice piano lol, creepy

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Hahaha solid 😁

[@jdyerjdyer]

Great advice! (Oh, and I saw my name!!!) lol The live dev chats are fun! If you haven't joined one, you're missing out!

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Totally agree, livestreaming with you guys has become one of my favourite parts of the job 🙂

[@tauheedgamedev2388]

Pushing through that dark tunnel is tough but I look forward to playing the Demo in October, Maybe ill get inspired to keep pushing

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Hope you enjoy playing!! So excited to get everyone in there haha

[@thememespace5103]

Every day I’ve I feel exactly like this I am expecting a men’s perfection from the mini things is talking about games or anything else that I want to develop I have like four ideas for game series not gonna discuss some here but you know

[@pangdev7327]

Damn, some real life lesson were learnt today!

[@ReeceGeofroy]

I'm glad!! 😁

[@m1chael_dev]

This hits hard for someone like me who is trying to make games. I know that I should keep making games, even if it takes me years to finish.

[@TheBugB]

You right good stuff. Just the thing we all need to hear

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Thanks Bug!

[@TheBugB]

@@ReeceGeofroy no! Thank you :)

[@Skeffles]

Nice video Reece!

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Thanks skeffles!!

[@cahns5025]

Thank you

[@oh...hi.]

this gives me major razbuten vibes, love it

[@inspirion5500]

YESSSS.... A new video

[@leololcat]

AHAHA I WILL SUGGEST A MONSTER WITH NO REASON TO BE MADE I suggest a cat with a mushroom hat that is also a wizard hat

[@kingjawdev8102]

The title is basically gamedev in a nutshell

[@fairbanks_northstar5377]

I might return to the streams Maybe Possibly

[@lubu682]

:)

[@perryplatypus513]

I wish I could start my journey to become a game dev, but I'm in a not so rich family so I'm studying programming using my cellphone🙂

[@manacor3057]

I am currently making a game basically it is about a land where humans and monsters lived together as equals before something stole everyone's chi (chi for humans is the power of mother nature in them empowering everything about them and for monsters it is the thing that holds all good emotions) and cause the monsters to nearly devastate the now-weak humans to extinction. You play a tribal boy aged 12 and you for whatever reason had a weak chi in you. You are the one who will give everyone their chi back.

[@manacor3057]

I hope this isn't too close to yours I've only really just heard about monster tribe from a friend (really cool game btw) and my game (no name for it yet lol) is pretty similar in terms of combat :(

[@jozef18591]

Yup this me 0:00 💔

[@BlackHei711]

"Practice Makes Perfect," False. "Practice Makes Permanent," True. Keep studying the wrong thing, there will be lasting consequences.

[@WrathOfWood]

Never dont do nothing never ever not once

[@lazyysked50]

Hey mate, I tried the demo of your game, and I love it, I wanna ask if the game is gonna cost money

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, the game will be a regular commercial released indie game (around $15) with 4-6x the content that was seen in the demo with proper level design, cutscenes, a storyline, etc.

[@fairbanks_northstar5377]

Good vid

[@tcgvsocg1458]

Salamalekum Can you try to do the first level of street of rage but from scratch to the very end of the first level of the game...no one do this and i thinck its can make a lot of view

[@LRegistration]

Is the demo gonna be on switch?

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Just steam for now

[@LucasStraub]

Why do you draw on the smaller screen while the big one got Trello? haha

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Hahaha good point Lucas 😅

[@itsME-dc4vm]

nice ;D

[@tpxalpha]

Reece is the best musician I know

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Definitely

[@yellow-brain4735]

Im in the livestream chat lol 3:46

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Livestream gang!! 💜💜💜

[@yellow-brain4735]

@@ReeceGeofroy Yes!

[@phillipmitchell2254]

Failure is the currency you pay for success. People who only know success without having to achieve it through repeated failures are privileged asf because they've been upheld by everyone around them their whole lives.

[@adrianrene1422]

Didn’t you make this video like three times already?

[@beardordie5308]

Kind of proves his point, really.

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Different advice similar title 👌
