Two Years Making My Dream Game

[@bradylehman6406]

Wow! Your dedication to this game is really inspiring. Your art and animations have improved so much since I last visited your channel. I’m honestly just really blown away that you’ve taught yourself so much about game development. Again, truly inspiring!

[@NightRunStudio]

Thanks! It’s so good to hear when other people can also see the improvement. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. These comments are super encouraging. Cheers!

Originally been ere only for ur clear and helpful tutorials but browsing ur page i'm glad to see someone being ambisious like a teen kid working on something they don't where where it'll take them. but the driving force of passion to make this world a better place

[@NightRunStudio]

This is so nice to read! Thanks for sharing. It's been a super fun journey, and it's cool to hear that you get a sense of my enthusiasm through the videos. Best of luck with your own project!

[@uiteh7036]

At the start I couldn't see your vision, i just thought that adventuring and city building just didn't work together. You proved me wrong sir.

[@NightRunStudio]

Glad to hear the vision is starting to show! That must mean I’m going in the right direction!! Cheers!

[@megamanni1128]

So I've been silently watching you since your very first videos and I gotta say: Your progress is really impressive. Willard always looked like one of these aimless dream game projects which will never get finished. Now I can finally see/imagine what type of game you are trying to make - now I'm actually a bit excited for a demo! Willard's story still remains a mystery to me but I hope your demo will change that! Anyways just wanted to leave some motivational stuff here so ... feel motivated! You are on the right track :)

[@NightRunStudio]

Thanks for sharing this! It’s super motivating to read. There’s definitely more on Willard’s story coming in the not-to-distant future.

It's February 2024 when i discovered your channel, i watched all of your video and you teach me a lot! My dev knowledge is growing rapidly because of you Sir. Thank you!

[@NightRunStudio]

That's so cool to hear! Thanks for sharing. And good luck with your own project!

[@LighthoofDryden]

Wishing you a phenomenally productive summer! It's really cool to see just how far you've come :D

[@NightRunStudio]

Thanks so much! Best of luck to you as well. I look forward to following your project this summer, too!

[@PaalAas]

Really enjoyed this one. You have come a long way since you started, and your game (especially your carecter animations) really looks good! I have been working on my own game for about 1.5 years now and your content has really helped me along the way. Look forward to some day bye and play Willard on PC/console. Keep up the good work!

[@NightRunStudio]

Thanks for sharing that! Super encouraging to hear. Also, so good to hear the content here has been helpful. Best of luck with your own project!

[@PaalAas]

@@NightRunStudio Thank you for that!

Ei pretty cool video i joined your discord can i make a question as a new selflearn game dev should i speak my native language im my videos "Portuguese Portugal" or English

[@NightRunStudio]

Glad to have you join! It’s hard to say about language… I’m not sure how large the Portuguese community is… that said, if you’re most comfortable with it, then your videos will probably be best in it. Hard to say.

[@TrendyMonks]

Just a thought-maybe you could make the invasions something you trigger but that you need to beat some amount to progress in some fashion? maybe they drop a resource needed to level up the town, or perhaps your townfolk get complacent when not under attack and dont want to build new things when what you have works just fine.

[@NightRunStudio]

Ooooh... I think there might be something there! It will definitely be important to make the attacks something you anticipate rather than an annoying interruption. Thanks for the ideas!

[@LarraJone]

You are the best keep going 💜

[@NightRunStudio]

Thanks! Will do.

[@SportShots124]

It’s really coming together.

[@NightRunStudio]

Thanks, man! Glad to hear others can see it, too!

[@RockyMulletGamedev]

Awesome journey !

[@NightRunStudio]

Thanks, man!

Hello Matt, I'm happy to know you through the lectures, knowledge and experiences you share through the videos you post. And I also have a dream, which is to create a world for myself. .Where I can unleash my creativity and develop my imagination. I really like playing games, it gives me many experiences not only in terms of gameplay but also in terms of plot. Indeed, that is my wish. but that's not simple to do. Currently I'm a student. I don't know anything about Coder or IT. I don't know anything about C#. In return, I can draw what I want to build in my head .This is not too difficult to design but still needs to be refined to be more perfect. I also started my game making journey 1 month ago. It was really confusing and lost, many times throughout the process.Writing Code also makes my mind tired. But I still have to continue. And I know you, you are like the person who shows me the way. The videos are very useful, it helps me shorten my goals. to aim for a faster route by focusing on big and focused goals. Such as the inventory system, Ai mindset, chest drop rate, etc. Anyway, I want to thank Matt for giving me the motivation very big on this “Adventure” trip. Thank you again and good luck completing your expedition. Cheers (English is written down when translating, sorry I'm not very good at English haha ​​XD)

Thanks for sharing this! It is very encouraging to read. Good luck with your own journey as a game developer!

WASTED YEARS IN UR LIFE NOWDAYS. NO ONE WILL APPERECIATE YOUR HARDWORKING YEARS AND BUY UR GAME

[@NightRunStudio]

Thanks for watching! I'm having so much fun making this game, that I'll be okay if no one appreciates it. That said, I'm hoping a few people do in the end :) Cheers!

[@mr.d2869]

​@NightRunStudio Well said. It's about the journey. The video told a great story. It was relatable to me as a fellow idiot on a journey fueled by curiosity and unfettered acces to KZbin and the internet. It's only a waste of time if you don't learn anything. You don't learn anything if you don't try, and you don't learn anything by giving up in the face of challenges. You, sir, are trying, learning, overcoming, and persevering. You're putting in the work to build on a solid foundation. I applaud your work thus far, and look forward to seeing what the next chapter holds. Cheers!

@@mr.d2869 To all us idiots! Cheers!
