its because they usually studied, and they take their time making it, most of huge ytbers have less time than they actually need, so they stress and rush some videos or parts, and some aren't just greedy and there for the money. idk, maybe im js dumb

Gorgeous mock-up art, and a video well worth making. Also... we both know that that is more than just a single .png! It's a tileset, too - and more than that, it is creative pavement for the artistic direction for the rest of your game. A very efficient use of your time indeed.

7:37 how i so get this feeling man but yeah at least it got you to that final mockup which honestly looks amazing also i have a thing where i kinda feel like this game might fit with a more lively aesthetic rather than a baren wasteland, this wizard dude just fits so well in such enviorements (also we could make it so that the reason that the world is so vibrant is the magic in the area, places feed off of magic so the parts with more magic/magic of a specific kind are more vibrant, doesn't even need to be realistic (aka green) foliage but perhaps even blue white or purple if you wanna go the funky route, and with that it could help in more coherency while also having more freedom, as you can make both the baren wastelands and vibrant areas together based on which part of the game and how the story is going, and have a reason to why things really are that different that ties it all together)

Fellow teenaged game dev here. When I saw your first devlog, I doubted that the video would even reach virality. It made me really sad, because we both are in similar positions. But I felt very inspired after seeing your success with your devlog. And I also gotta say, the art that you weren't proud of, I thought looked cool. As a part of the audience, I didn't look at your work as judgmentally as you did, so that goes to show that comparison is the thief of joy. With that being said, Caleb, I wish you nothing but the best. I am rooting for you for the rest of this game development journey, and I would love to see you build a career out of your hobby.

Ive seen guy going down the road of making art for their games until they change ideas or aren't satisfy with it. Than nothing gets done gamewise. You only really need some crappy place holder art to start building your game and get the feel of it and confirmed its really what you want to do.There is so many things to be done before getting to clean great art, in a couple of week you could have a prototype of the game. By the time your game is done, the entire tilesets might just be swapped many times and its not an issue. It is so satisfying to give your game a makeover. In seconds you swap that old ugly tileset and it so much nicer...

Having recently started to focus more on pixel art It's been kind of a similar story for myself. Looking at someone else's art and success, you can quickly start to fall into that mentality of "I won't be able to create something as great as this" and start comparing your work to others.. Like, looking at YEARS of experience but not really processing it as something we have to BUILD toward. It feels tough to break the ice from there and move forward. My advice to anyone, mostly people who are wanting to start learning: Include some real world references to look at too (or something non-pixel art) AND use someone's art you love as a reference because it's really not bad to do so! truly the main goal is to to replicate the things you want to see in the pixel form, looking at your references and comparing them to the real pictures will help you see the methods your inspo might use to depict things and help you develop a way to do it too. That and doing it blind without reference will definitely build your own confidence in creating what YOU are imagining first. In the end, comparing your work to your real reference will give you more perspective. "Does this rock look like a rock?" rather than "Does my rock look like your rock?". Eventually you're saying "there are many like it but this rock is mine". Sorry for the rant here, felt inspired by the great spiderman epiphany (Good luck!)
