I just hope you've made a good amount of documentation beforehand, things can easily spiral out of control without it. One of the most common things what happens to solo devs is that new features get added on the fly. Although this is not a huge deal at the start since no plan is set in stone, it can lead to you never completing your game and overcomplicated mechanics. I'd recommend making at least a Game Design Document, something you can refer to in case you don't know what to make next or to keep you on the right path. If you're feeling like it you can also use Trello to keep track of your tasks.

For a solo indy dev (yes, all of them), no one should be talking bad about using assets. Triple-A studios use them, and they have teams of hundreds of developers. The biggest thing that holds back indy devs is time. If assets from the asset store or elsewhere save you time, then that's more time you have to spend on your game. It increases the likelihood that you'll actually finish. Assets are a good thing!

Yeah.. The problem, however, is the vast number of "devs", who think it's acceptable to just slam a bunch of different assets together (without doing any custom work with them), call it a day, and then sell the game for 20$.. Thats where the "using assets is bad" vibe comes from..

I agree, for 90% of stuff is better not to reinvent the wheel, grass, wood, generic furniture those are more than fine to use, but level design and the design of main characters should be original, would be interesting if every game has the same looking guy as protagonist os main villain. Sometimes, if your game has a very defined style, you have to use custom made assets for most stuff (think something like hello neighbor, i know bad game in general but, very stylized game where premade props wouldn't be as fitting for the cartoony and jagged style)

Liking the fact that you are just ploughing on in and then will solve the 'art' side later. It's quite refreshing as a devlog. I've seen lots of developers recently saying "Don't waste time building from scratch" and someone used the analogy that you don't have the 'birth' Robert DeNiro for your film, you want to 'hire' him to be in your film, and we should think of assets and code in the same way. What do you think?

Think about the assets that are central to the gameplay. The rest is just fluff, no matter how important it is to the final product. For example, you can make your Harvest Moon game with zero interesting assets, while you figure out how to make it fun. But when working on, say, combat Kenshi - you already need assets that are fit for that; it affects the way the combat works, it's not just glitter. That said, it can be a nice downtime from all the coding and complexities of that. That's also fine :P But even that is still simpler to do in a 2D game. 3D games are still annoyingly hard to make, and most of the tools still focus on achieving more, rather than achieving with less :D

Awesome video! And a couple suggestions: 1. Maybe have it be so you can have multiple base's, but every now and again there'll be a catastrophe/dragon that attacks, a base, when that happens your civilians could retreat to the other base until you handle the problem. Or you could have one base, and since there are more resources you can defeat the catastrophe quickly and nobody has to leave, risk/reward. 2. Since the game revolves around a little boy in a mech it'd be really cool if you could do certain things in the mech suit and other things as the player. I see an interaction where you have to leave your mech to get some berries, but when you come back your surrounded by monsters, so you have to sneak to your mech so you can fight/escape from them. 3. Your Blender rig has way to many polygons, rather than extruding over and over again, use the "smooth" setting and it should have the same effect. (I extruded a lot when I started aswell) 4. Back up a little bit from your mic, and in post raise the volume some. Record in a closet with lots of clothes if you're not already, if you have $70-$100 to spare I'd suggest making a makeshift recording booth, it works like a charm: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moXdfp2nmb13Y5Y 5. Please please please please scope your game, that's all I'll say. It's so easy to start a project and work on it for 6 months then wanna give up, but then the sunken cost fallacy sets in and you spend 2 more years on it until the realization sets in that you'll never finish it... or that's what I hear anyways. Awesome video, I'm really looking forward to the next one!

I think it is a wonderful idea for a game, and if executed properly one I would love to play. A big hurdle I've always seen for game concepts like this is allowing the player to actually go out and explore new areas and gather new resources, without the player feeling constantly tied to their base because of time constraints. Finding the right balance between night and day length, and also allowing the player to either fast travel or move their base with relative ease will be key imo. Best of luck on future development.

There's no problem in using external assets, as other comments have said; it saves a big amount of time for indie developers. I personally use them a fair amount of time when i'm doing the prototyping (as i can observe you are doing as well) and it actually helps a lot. There are even assets that end up staying and that 's okay as well, they wouldn't be in the asset store if they weren't for you to use. I think what most people could possibly complain about is probably "originality" (or however you spell that) which gives your game that unique and individual touch that identifies your style, but it all depends on what works for you. It's your game, but not only that; it's your Dream Game so do as you like! Great video by the way, hope to see more videos about your progress!

Hey there! Game Design Grad here! Highly recommend getting some GDD's (Game Design Documents) drafted up listing out all potential mechanics, interactions, setups and more. We use something called a GRATIS (Goals, Rules, Actions, Transitions, Items, and Setup) as a basic document so that we can lay out all of our ideas firsthand in order to better set yourself up for success! In a similar document you should list out three pillars of your design. What are the three main pillars of design for the game? For example, Cory Balrog from "God of War" (2018) had his three pillars on display in their office so the team could refer back to them whenever they felt lost or unsure of a design decision. I believe his were "Combat, Father/son relationship, and Exploration." Under each pillar they listed some key aspects to those design keywords that helped illustrate the most important focuses. It was very useful, helping them retain a cohesive progression as they marched towards their final product. If you need any help or have questions surrounding game design I do freelance consulting and planning for games! Cheers friend and good luck!

The atomic crops games uses a day and night thing like you described, gathering resources and farming during the day and fighting and defending your farm at night.

But instead you push through, open Unity and start writing code. And honestly, in this circumstances, I would use every asset, addon, copy-paste every stackoverflow snippet, whatever it takes, to make a prototype and deliver MVP eventually. I see absolutely no problem with that approach. It is not low effort, nor it is bad in any way - it is just a smart development workflow. And by the way - great delivery in the video, I know for a fact in took some effort to write the script with funny jokes.

this sounds like a really interesting gameplay loop, and I really love the characters and reasoning behind why the robot is trying so hard to protect the base, and why the boy can't leave for fear of monsters. you've got ludonarrative harmony baked in right from the start! :) I've been brainstorming a game idea with some some similarities around base building/exploration and gathering, only mine is more focused on decoration rather than defense. I've been tossing around ideas for how to keep the exploration/gathering portion interesting though, which I imagine you'll run into in a while. Right now I think that exploring the same map for slowly regenerating resources can get really repetitive and boring, so I'm considering generating new islands/dimensions/what-have-you every time a player wants to go explore, but in such a way that the player can recognize where to go to find the resources they're looking for (eg. looking for some very visible terrain landmarks to find certain plants or metals). I hope that helps. I'm not usually into base defense as a genre, but you've piqued my interest and I'm curious to see where you'll go with this! :)

You might run into a contradiction that might be opportunities : - Procedurally generated world but you want to have just one main base : if you spend some parts of your days tending to the farm/base, and the night defending the base, there won't be much exploring Some ways you could try to deal with that : - Make exploring easier with a system of portals/teleport locations to swap back to the last place you were exploring - Make your character gradually stronger over nights of fighting, but also for exploring : movement speed, jumping heights... This way you can go farther every time. To fit with this, you would have to make the base/farm expandable at a similar scale to not have your character zoom around a tiny place : planting speeds, farming areas, building sizes... That path could nearly take you towards the path of a Satisfactory/Factorio type game for the base side of things. Could tie that in with the 'robot' idea : beep boop i am robot i swap my arm for a massive rake boop beep i now farm faster - Make that only your base (and other designated areas?) are safe from the procedural generation, but the land around you re-generate every night (oOOOOoo the night monsters are corrupted demons from another dimension oOOoOOOo the death of their final boss causes some kind of spooky dimensional lore excuse). Could link parameters of the next generation to the performance of the previous map (higher perf = more challenging terrains, and more late game objects found in it)? - Night monsters are weaker to specific things, that are found (and/or need to be replenished?) in specific areas of the world around the base, incentivizing going towards specific directions/areas at different days - Make your base travel across the land. Maybe not physically like flying, but a piece of the land you are in, like a small island, traveling through the ocean, making every other island/landmass you get close to new. With the setting you have, any landmass that takes more than a few minutes to get across will functionally seem like a potentially massive continent, as the player has to go back to defend their base That's a few thoughts I have, feel free to do anything or nothing with them, and good luck developing, don't forget to have fun :3

First of all, the ideas you have as a foundation for your game sound amazing. Second of all, I am so fucking happy Sebastian is getting recognition. Thirdly, I may not be a firefighter, but I know when something is on fire. In the game dev world, developers sometimes try too hard to make a game, to the detriment of the game they are making. Here's what I mean. Ubisoft makes games. From Software makes player experiences. See what I mean? So, my one and only piece of advice, is, think from the perspective of the player. It has to really be fun, and not just because those features put together are supposed to create fun, somehow. At that point you're making a game, not a player experience. I'm using the term 'game' as a bad thing, because it's become a commercialized monster of a thing, games are not player experiences anymore.

If you havewatched it by chance I'd definitely try to, the parallels are almost uncanny but in the best way. If this game was any way in the slightest like the atmosphere and world-building it presented I'd be absolutely blown away.

Watching that episode is actually what inspired me to make this

Loving the concept, it kind of reminded me of Atomicrops in a way so I’d say if you haven’t played that yet it might be a good idea to do so and maybe get some inspiration from it?

Hello, amazing content! I'm making procedural worldmyself too and if you want to want to place objects like trees, bushes etc i recommend poisson disc sampling. Sebastian has a video on this topic as well :)

Good idea. That is something that will definitely be in the next devlog

Atomicrops is pretty much everything you're discribing, but its in a top down twin stick style shooter. Would be interesting to see it done in 3D

Can't believe you managed to do so much in the first devlog, looking forward to seeing the game in the future!

I think that everyone that criticise using assets from asset store has never tried doing an game as solo dev. I mean using asset store may be the difference from launching the game or just giving up in the project. I'm supporting your game good luck man!

Looks really great! I'm looking forward to your next update. Also, don't be ashamed of using assets if they save you time, that you could be using to polish your gameplay.

The idea sounds great! However, I would caution against bloating the scope of your game. Putting all of these great ideas into one game is gonna require a ridiculous amount of work. Just importing a 3D character and drawing some shapes is nothing compared to designing an actual game and putting in audio/story/structure/AI/ect. I hope this works out though, sounds like a cool idea

That's some useful advice against scope creep, Matteo!

Working on a similar game for ~2 years now. Maybe im a perfectionist but prepare to spend money or dedicate years for this idea.

I didn´t watch the video yet.. but after reading the title of it.... I'm in the same situation. I'm an 3D animator working in the industry but trying to learn how to dev my own games! Looking forward to new videos! CHeers!
