The 7 Greatest TIPS for Any Game Developer

[@4dragons632]

After about 4 months I was able to do a coding session that went for about 3 hours and code an entire game feature (teleporting to the nearest unoccupied place to the mouse cursor) without using any tutorials. It felt amazing, but it takes work to get there.

[@dev-worm]

thats so amazing!

[@WoozyTozy]

This man finally wrote a script for his video

[@dev-worm]

all future videos will have a script lol

[@jeremiahaemile2008]

😂😂

[@Shmaisanimostafa]

Tip 5 is the most important, where coming after a long period of time to view your code, will be so hard to recover your work without a good organization and noting. Great tips!

[@dev-worm]

i agree so much, also thank you so much for watching!

[@Speed-TV]

This tutorial isn't specifically for godot, these are just good tips for game design in general

[@HeathTheCoder]

Great tips, Subscribed! Also to all the beginners - If your trying to learn Godot and can't get the hang of it don't quit! I was at the point were I was about to quit earlier this year but luckily I didn't and I kept practicing. The more you work with the engine the better you get. I have to agree with tip number 2, I did a game jam the other week and I actually realized I was actually figure out the engine! I'm not good with words but I just wanted to say, don't quit! if you keep practicing you'll eventually get it!

[@dev-worm]

100%, Im so happy to hear that

[@Turb0928]

Thank you very much for sharing, I am a beginner, and start Godot like 3 months ago. Your videos are really helpful!!

[@dev-worm]

i am so glad to hear that!! so happy i have been able to help!! it means the world! thanks for sharing

[@camash125]

Big ups for writing a script sir! Very very satisfying. Keep the content coming for Godot 2d man

[@dev-worm]

thanks brother! I appreciate it very much. Glad you enjoyed it

[@liortalshaked]

i started godot literally 2 days ago, this really helped me

[@herehere3139]

Duuuude thanks for your support. I grew up 3d modeling and animating. But only a few years ago wanted to finally venture into game development. Ive got my feet wet with unreal and unity. But godot is where its at for me as i finally found it only a couple months ago. I love it. I feel like i have full control and creative input over every aspect. Coding sucks to learn for my brain, but its coming along and ive got some great 2d and 3d projects working already. Third oerson 3d, first person 3d, 2d side scrolling. I love it

[@kizzykazzy]

Another banger from my boy

[@EyeBallTank]

On the subject of game ideas, I'd like to say you can also get them from a variety/selection of media. Since a lot of iconic game franchises like Metal Gear and Doom are a result of devs taking something from movies or other stuff but also getting creative and combining them. There is truth that a lot of games feel like they copy each other and don't branch out (Applies both to indie and AAA) but I also associate it with a lack of specific, "personal" inspirations. Even something like Chainsaw Man has its creator bringing up FLCL and Abara or Star Wars has stuff related to old samurai movies and I believe Valerian. I guess it's a matter of "copying but done right" because even with my Nortubel game, I try to have a selection of influences and specify how they influence my stuff. There's always one guy complaining that a lot of fantasy games have an aesthetic that can be traced to Blizzard and there is some truth in certain art styles becoming too "general" as opposed to learning that a character in a game was inspired by an obscure comic the developers were fan of. To me, this is what "media literacy" means more.

[@dev-worm]

yes this makes so much sense!! I fully agree!

[@ok_listen]

Just started, solid tips right here. Can't wait to get better at this 💪🏻

[@dev-worm]

wishing you luck!

[@Ostnizdasht206]

Doing the art assets after you've worked on the gameplay mechanics first is really good advice. Knowing me, I probably would of spent a ton of time in Aseprite making the pixel art and then trying to fit it into my game afterwards.

[@auesip]

I always have the habbit of drawing out how something works before actually coding it, I always need the visual before programming it in 😅

[@srividhyag576]

If you are making a game I recommend The Kenny prototype textures because there are lots of colours and you don't have to stare at a blank screen and you can always change them later on. Hope this comment helps

[@Nexus.Vtuber]

Thank you! I will follow your tips! 🎉 Your tutorials are helping a lot! 🎉

[@dev-worm]

so happy to hear! thank you so much!

[@rogelioayus]

I’m still started in Godot. All I do as a beginner is experiment and create concept of useful features that I discover until I get the hang of the basics. Until then, I make bigger concept that handles bigger task, algorithm and complex tech tree. Right now I’m in the middle of that situation

[@nostalgianinja]

With Tip 5, Folder colors add an additional layer of folder structure! Useful and new from Godot 4.2 (Right click a folder, click set folder color, and pick a color)

[@dev-worm]

very good point!! happy they added that within Godot 4.2

[@DrW1ne]

Tip 2 and 3 would help me a lot, thanks

[@KennyT_OfMusic]

Really helpful tips 🎉

thank you!! I am so happy to hear that!!

Great perspective, Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ZupaTr00pa]

After watching Tutemics tutorial about what you need to do the very basics, I'm able to put together bits and pieces myself which is awesome. My concern at the moment is that the features of Godot are vast and I barely know anything so I could be doing something so much slower than if I just used something else. I have no idea what an array is for example and I won't ever know if I need to know what an array is because I don't know what it does. This is the case for a lot of things in Godot and gamedev as a whole.

[@dev-worm]

completely agree!!

[@infinity6010]

helllloooo devworm thanks for all the help you have given to all of us

[@dev-worm]

of course, if you ever need anything let me know

[@srspanksalot4501]

I feel like when I watch a tutorial it doesn’t really make sense how it works, and then when I spend hours trying to just reorganize it that is when I do the most actual learning from it (learning as in gaining the ability to use the info elsewhere in a different context)

[@dev-worm]

yes, watching a tutorial then trying to decode and recreate it is so helpful!

[@dinox8vc46]

can you make a video about games that you made?

[@haavaena]

I started learning about Game Dev not so long ago and I'm creating my first game, for a game jam... and I kinda have a pretty dungeon, with atmospheric lights, a character who can walk around, interaction and dialog with literally two objects. And nothing else 😂. It's empty. I have some ideas for puzzles, but no skill to put them in. So #3 is definitely important, if I started with mechanics I would have started making a different game lol. Oh well, for now I think I will put in some enemies and hope for the best ;D. In my defence, I was a graphic designer, so the visual part is important to me :P.

[@BlendFin]

Thank you!

[@dev-worm]

of course anytime!

Thanks brutha

Can you make a video about post-processing? Also known as WorldEnvironment node.

[@erencakrtas102]

Guys, what is the name of the first game that is shown in the video?

[@shelbytimbrook2095]

My own tips: 1. Use a code editor that'll give you intellisense. Dear god it's a nightmare programming without intellisense. (I am a C# developer professionally). 2. To elaborate on your goals tip, don't think of making your game as work, think of it like playing a game. Know what you generally want to make and why, but leave enough room to play around with it every day you work on it, that'll keep you interested in what you could do and keep you learning instead of just hammering out another item on the list. 3. Git Gud lol

[@creatorthyleo]

So I have a little bit of a curios question since I haven’t been able to see it anywhere. Have you heard of or seen 4D game physics? Recently, I’ve been trying to figure a way to layer maps on top of each other as one map in Godat 2D as a way make a confusing shrouded Forest. I’m still relatively new to Godat so I’m tripping on my feet but I thought I’d share for the possibility that you may read this or someone else and if they could find out how to do so and then we can post it 😅

[@dev-worm]

I haven't heard of a way to do it, ill look into it and if i find anything ill get back to you.

[@creatorthyleo]

That would be amazing! @@dev-worm

[@GenericInternetter]

Godot is great for 3D games too. Why is everyone limiting themselves to 2D? 3D is just one extra spatial coordinate to manage, everything else is exactly the same.

[@TheAftaaa]

My square is moviiiing! I am 2 days in 😂😂

[@dev-worm]

yeahh!!! that’s step one!!

[@halfpixel12]

I'm a beginner looking to understand the Godot 4 move and slide function. I tried changing my platformer game from Godot 3 to Godot 4 but now whenever my player bumps into an enemy the enemy position changes back, I think it slides back from collision. Also my player has a knockback feature which was working fine but now in addition to the knockback, it slides back which I don't want. My guess is this may have to do with the move and slide function and velocity. Any ideas?

[@Wonkabonka]

well would definetely help to see your code

[@theelysium1597]

Tips are quite universal and not really Godot specific. Doesn't make them bad, but more experienced devs who just want to get a look into Godot do not really learn much new.

[@TheAnonymousLemur]

I don't feel this video is for experienced devs, but rather new ones who might wanna use Godot

[@Always.Smarter]

4 years? bro is just pronouncing godot like that to farm comments at this point 💀

[@dev-worm]

i know its guh-dough and im working on correcting the way i say it but its hard because its a habit.. sense ive been saying go-dot for so long.

[@rohitsoni2109]

Nah it IS pronounced as GoDot, like a Robot. Not go-dough. He said it right

[@bunnybreaker]

Pretty sure the Godot devs said both pronunciations are valid 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@sugarette_burn]

Bro doesn't need to do the french accent just for weird validation on the internet

[@th1rstyhnose760]

Hi I need help, now I'm very confused because I don't know where I can start programming, because If I want to work programming games In a big company of video games I should learn unity because is the most game engine used.

[@dev-worm]

thats understandable, i recommend godot because its a lot more simple, but it just depends on what your goals are.

[@gogagawtherobloxboy248]

your game idea dosen't need to be good as it just depends on who is playing it

[@arturremblewski3888]

Video title is misleading, I came here expecting Godot related tips, none of provided tips have anything to do with Godot

[@JasonZChristie]

Guh-dough. Guh-dough. Guh-dough.

[@Ranamo_]

First 4 tips aren't for godot. They are for every game engine

[@androidleeno7172]

TIP 8: use a git or any version control

[@baksoBoy]

basically all of these feel like tips for developers, and not tips for Godot developers..

[@Cr-kz1mp]

make a simple game and improve your simple game improve,improve and improve and then you got your main game. because it's happens on me i went to make a crazy game i can not, then i make a simple normal game and then i improve it day by day and its turn into a crazy game. i hope your motivate of my little statement, if your click below 👇😁

godot is still lacking sadly. even for 2D, it doesn't have an easy to use rigging system

[@DayumAli]

Good video but pls just avoid doing the "this next tip is my favorite; but before that..." strat. It's really getting stale and idk doesn't make me wanna engage with the channel or the creator in general. Everything else is nice and keep it up!
