You have a lot of technical skill. It always bothers me when I watch some devlog channels and they skip explaining the code and all that because they think it is boring to watch. Which it probably is for most people, but I personally really enjoy it. Even though I have no experience with procedural generation, I still feel like you explained it pretty well in this as well as in one of the previous videos. I still gotta learn it at some point though.

I can completely relate. It happened I wanted to practice web back-end development. I wanted to create a simple front-end UI just to call the APIs then I realized I spent hours on adding CSS back and forth instead of focusing on the main task, which was the main scope and the reason I even started to work on this. Then scope overshooting also a common mistake. But I would say not completly drop your ideas but do some side projects to even grow to that level to be able to make this goal then return and achive it.

I was wondering if the thumbnail was a mockup or not, and now I see why it's not. You've got a lot of experience, you made it your full-time job and you bought some assets to make up the rest of the time. You should probably put a disclaimer in the thumbnail itself for those that have never made a game before or have a day job that your technique won't be realistic for them. That said, it looks like a pretty cool game.

One thing that might add a bit more visual interest (and would be fairly easy to implement) would be adding pregenerated islands in the background. Just give a bit more to look at instead of the blue sky. Also, this may just be me, but only ever looking at one game screen kind of makes my eyes weary after a bit. I did notice a shop screen in there though 🤷

The real issue with using assets is not the time investment. The issue is those assets showing up in other games. And it might not mix well with other art in the game. Anyone who is working on games solo will probably have to develop some modelling skills.

it's a small and simple game. but it will sell well enough. afterall, it's a game you looked the market for. a market that may be saturated though, but if the price isn't too high, will generate a correct amount of profit. afterall, there's still some new ones that works. and your game needs to distinguish a bit from the competition too, as for now, nothing is outstanding. but you may have something in mind ahah. i hope your game goes well.

Ive been an solo dev for 7 years now, Ive never ever made a single dev vlog or youtube video at all because Ive always seen how developers who do end up opening an income door for themselves that while on paper seems like a good idea because it provides a gauranteed source of income and instant gratification and community feedback and all that jazz, in reality their focus will gradually become more and more about maintaining their subscriber base and less and less about actually making a successful game. Forever trapped in a cycle of just creating what are essentially tutorial boiler plate half games for the sake of educating other solo developers for the sake of getting views for the sake of paying their bills. Whereas for me, even though I too havent released a game yet, I dont have a shiny golden goose egg called a youtube channel that constantly requires me to split focus and consequently i retain maximum hunger as a starving artist. Time will tell if my approach of secclusion is a good one or not, but time has already told that doing dev vlogs is ironically counter productive for indie solo game developers.
