[@DouglasSilva-ys6lw]

Why not mix your dreams and passions like creating some Japanese Learning Game? like that jrpg with slimes for example

[@onepunchfran]

i think this is a great idea. but he has to go one step further than the existing jrpg do (or at least the exisitng ones i know). if the focus is only on teaching japanese and the game itself is boring (and you also already know some japanese), than there is no point to play that game at all. but if the gameplay is interessting, than you might do the grind to the point when you start learning something new in japanese

[@DouglasSilva-ys6lw]

@@onepunchfran it has to be something in between, like creating the basics of the game where only really beginner's would benefit, but thinking on the scalability of the game and the hero journey, in which players would have places to grind kanji/content in the later game and also some shortcuts to people that know couple of things already. And you are right the purpose of the game shouldn't be teaching, but to have fun while learning.

[@KnightCrown]

I worked at a school for game development for a few years, my advice is to attempt a game project with multiple people (with clearly defined roles). Even if your end goal is to make a solo project, it helps so much to piggyback from experiences of others. Different people would have different solutions to the same problem and you can't find everything online

[@DragonplayerDev]

Do you know about game jams? They can be a perfect excuse for you to get into game dev again, even if it's just for a weekend. It seems to me like your old projects came from random motivation spikes with little long term planning, so having a set deadline of 2-3 days and forcing yourself to finish something can massively help you get motivated again. And if things don't work out, at worst you lost just a weekend, not years of dev time.

[@Some_Guy_87]

I loved game jams as well. Depending on the type of those, you would also have people actually playing the game and giving feedback, as all participants + potential audience try it out afterwards to determine a winner. It was always a fun activity, took full use of motivation spikes and leaves something to be proud of afterwards.

[@mateuszjokiel2813]

I'd love to participate in game jams, they sound like so much fan. The issue being, they're not viable for everyone as well. I'm still a high school student and I'm preparing for my final exams so I can't realistically dedicate a few days to game development only. Soon enough I'll be a student, so I'm afraid even my "dream" of starting a KZbin channel (with the level of polish I'm willing to accept on my videos) will have to go as well, time-wise. That's also partially because I'm from a relatively poor country *and* a relatively poor famili within the context of said country. So let's summarise what I don't have: 1) the money to buy a decent PC rig 2) the money to not go to work as soon as I'm employable 3) the time to dedicate to learning game dev 100% 4) the time to dedicate to game dev itself when it has a definitive deadline 5) an idea that I'm passionate about *and* capable of implementing as well So I suppose the only real course possible for me is 1) make prototypes and really tiny projects here and there whenever I have the time outside of education and other hobbies, and 2) wait a dozen years or so until school's passed and I have some money saved up, because my job prospects aren't entirely stellar given the set of skills and interests I have. I mean, how much is a history or English teacher gonna learn in Poland, a country where you *must* have connections (which I don't) for a decent job and even then you don't earn much at all in comparison with even the rest of Europe. Unless I'm missing something which I'm 99% sure is the case. But I guess I wouldn't really achieve much anyway if I weren't patient, regardless of my situation.

[@DragonplayerDev]

@@mateuszjokiel2813 You are WAAAAY overthinking this. 1) Godot can run on ANYTHING (with the next update (3.5) natively on android, so you don't even need a PC) 2) Game jams are something you do in your FREE time. The time you'd spend playing games, watching videos you instantly forget on Tiktok/youtube, etc 3) You are not spending years. It's maybe 2 days, and even then, you don't need to spend more than 1-2h on either day. Game jams are about learning something new. Nothing else. You can spend as little time as you want, there is no right or wrong. And about 5) You can only get more capable if you actually start doing it. If you're busy right now, then do it after you're done with your finals. Game jams won't suddenly disappear. Also, if by student you mean university student, in uni you have a lot more free time compared to school (excluding the first semester). Your thoughts are your worst enemy right now.

[@LightSpeedFIash]

it's true, they don't want you to know it but it's true

[@toadlytoad]

[@papercliprain3222]

I'm excited to see what the project in a different area you mentioned is. I've been trying to figure out a new one that maybe engaged a different part of the brain than language learning(currently learning Japanese). Something that I can work on an hour a day and see progress over time. I was thinking maybe piano but I'm not sure yet.

[@IdioyStudiosPeridot]

9:44 Yeah, I always find these videos super motivational. Your videos singlehandedly got me back into learning Japanese after giving up in 2018. I'm now 166 days strong and think I'm on the cusp of reaching N5.

[@TheSilverKetchup]

Sounds almost exactly like my experience with game development. Although I have technically finished two games, with only one of them being a releasable final product. Having a "nearly finished" game that still needs a final boss, music, menus, and an ending with each of those providing their own new challenges is quite difficult. And I learned so much about how I should've programmed things differently, but towards the end it's too late so you just work with the janky systems you created. I probably could have developed it within a couple months, but it took over a year largely from not wanting to work on it towards the end. Game development can be fun and rewarding, but there's a big learning curve and I can't justifiy committing too much time to it when I'd rather study Japanese or work on my book.

[@durg8909]

I am so akin to you it's frightening lol I'm also a non native English speaker who learned to a high level through media, I also learn Japanese (getting close to N2 ^^), I also draw quite often (digitally mainly) and I've always wanted to make a game and I have also a couple hundred hours into game development. And I also used to play go. That's why I love your channel. It keeps my motivated to do everything I do on a daily basis, even if I don't have time to do all the things and projects I'd like to. Because, unfortunately for my sanity, I do many more things than the ones mentioned above :( So please, keep posting videos, they're amazing! 😙 Q/A: Would you consider learning to play an instrument?

[@MasterPlunger]

i realized that the game development path wasnt for me when i graduated community college with my associates degree in game sim and dev then thought to myself after graduation just how much i vehemently hated the coding portions of making games. when i realized thats what 80% of game development is, i knew i wasnt going to enjoy the passion i saught out for and kept it as a hobby, while i used the skills of coding and 3d modelling software i was taught in college to pursue similar hobbies and careers. no luck on the career but 3d printing is pretty fun to me

[@jetesouhaitepleindebonheur]

Indeed, create a game is a really good aim that I want also, create a multiplayer game alone is really difficult so you have my support continue 💪🏻🤝

[@一本のうんち]

It's takes a certain person to be able to make a decent enough game alone. You need to be semi-good at way too many disciplines at the same time and you have to dedicate unearthly amount of time to your project out of which the excitement and enthusiasm will only last for first 10% of it. It's a grind where you don't see the fruits of it in the mid stages for way too long (dark work). If you feel like it's too much work for one person, don't wear yourself out. Make simplistic polished shovelware games/apps(that would take you few weeks max), join gamejams, concentrate on specific skill in gamedev(coding/art/level design). Collab with people on smaller projects. If you can demonstrate your skills, good people will be willing to work with you or even jump onto your project provided you can manage it well. I've burned myself many times trying to do much more than I'm capable of alone. It took a while to learn my limits. Even 2d games that were made 20-30 years ago had teams of 10-40 people working on them...

[@Livakivi]

Definitely! Game jams and shovelware are good idea for people who like game development for sure, but personally I more of prefer just making a singular (game) project that I'm passionate about and keep on developing that and making it as good quality of a product as I can.

[@一本のうんち]

@@Livakivi Nothing wrong with "go it alone" but to anyone contemplating I would still suggest to work on a few smaller tangible projects first, just to get the feel of how to properly scope the project. Having that experience is invaluable.

Making more prototypes and/or cloning things you like is a good way to find something that you might want to do instead, many great games were initially supposed to be something else but someone just magically found something better while trying to make the initial thing.

[@roshan7988]

Please do make game dev videos, I really like your take and style with videos so Id love to see that applied to games

[@CaptainWumbo]

I think you said it right yourself, work on some prototypes and little projects. It's like writing short stories before you try to write a novel, it's nice to have smaller completable projects with a timeline before you invest heavily. Everything has opportunity cost and we can significant reduce that if we do smaller experiments. I think if you're working by yourself, sometimes it's good to lean more on engines and other prebuilt assets and make something fun within those restrictions. You might enjoy the GDC talk by the guy who made A Short Hike or really any of the indie devs who've appeared there. You may also be able to get a taste for working in a bigger project if you're willing to give up some control and be part of someone else's project. It can still be indie, it could be really minimal commitment, it should even be paid. Finding it might take awhile, but if you're as flexible as you sound why not see what's out there? Last thing I would say... software is rarely built from scratch. You can learn a lot building stuff yourself, but the reason you pay to use someone else's stuff is that you only have so many hours in a day. Not all us can Jon Blow take 9 years off to make the witness, and it's not like he did it all alone! fwiw my only experience with game development was pro bono helping a non programmer friend get started, until I realised to my horror he thought I was going to do it for free forever XD I was just curious enough to write some 2d physics stuff and donkey kong style barrels and ropes, but not anywhere near curious enough to do a million mechanics he wanted.

[@TJCorporation]

I'm actually in a similar boat to you, i did try game development years ago quite a lot, participated in some game jams, but the biggest Problem for me was just, that i don't enjoy doing any kind of art, i tried a lot to think of game ideas that i'm passionate about that don't require a lot of art, but i could'nt find a good one, and so i quit. And now i'm learning japanse instead, maybe i'll pick it up again the future or find someone to do the art. I feel like since you enjoy doing art, you have quite the advantage if you enjoy all aspects of game development, but i definetly feel you on the multiplayer part, especially competitive games where any kind of cheating is a no-go are basically impossible as a solo developer. But those are also the games i myself am most passionate about.

Totally found your channel by accident looking for some Japanese motivation after 2 years of study, but I'm very glad I did! I'm a Technical Animator working at a studio and found absolutely nothing I disagree with in here (Ironically an MMO). It was however, extremely fascinating seeing things from the standpoint of someone else who's predisposed to grinding like me. Also that last 1% is an absolute monster no matter where I've worked it's just an unavoidable fact of life! Keep up the youtube content man, I'll start carving through your older stuff.

[@ioanbotez7128]

I think that's a wise approach. Start with small projects.Hopefully each builds on what you've learned in the other, or can act together as "modules" towards the style of game you'd like to go for. Regarding the popularity aspect.. If you identify a niche (especially if underserved) and aim for that, it will do well. 2d tactical? Last good one was Jagged Alliance, back in '99. A space based 4x? Until Stellaris showed up, that genre was starved.

[@marceiya5633]

[@payrimdwein9082]

10:20 not really, MMO's are actually easier if you create one small area and start scaling it, like what most MMO's do you just need to design your game in a way that you make sure there is enough "content" for the player to grind and do repetitive tasks, and create incentives for making them to do so (artificial or real) and yeah, you need money for servers

This does hit different for me now that I'm creating a game for my uni thesis. It has been a tremendous struggle and I find myself sometimes not wanting to work on it for a week or so, and this wouldn't be a big issue if it was only a passion project, but this is not only that, but my career depends on it (and my wallet). I hope you find something that you are passionate about and just dig in, even if you think it is a small simple game. Thanks for the video, made me think about my situation a whole lot.

[@TS-by9pg]

Have you considered not building a game from scratch but building something on top of an existing game? A great example is running a Minecraft server. It's what I've been doing for years If you have a solid foundation, you can build your idea much more quickly and focus on implementing stuff that really matters to you: Running a community, making fun events, social gatherings, and so on And even though you build on top of another game, you can still have an original idea. If you're interested, I can also tell you more about the projects I'm working on I discovered you through your language learning videos and started learning Japanese inspired by your journey. Recently I also got into content that is not language related and found you very interesting and relatable

[@Livakivi]

[@junyun4285]

I would prefer a low-poly style game like ps2 games or n64s but that could work too for working with Japanese. I also thought of a setting feature where you can set a hiragana only mode or start off with only hiragana and then have a setting for kanji display.

[@YaBoiDoi]

@@junyun4285 exactly

[@yeknom5g]

So the a problem is you don’t enjoy the process, and are impatient for the product. To build a community and see it grow are the main goals for having “your game”. (similar to what you already are building on this KZbin channel) I think you are right about not likely finishing your “dream “game. Especially when you mention not having an idea what it should be about. How can one properly fulfill something, that is incompletely thought out? Sounds like you know exactly what to do already, and are kicking the idea around to yourself and your viewers, but hesitate to start. Don’t wait for people to decide for you. Opportunities will follow hard work, passion, and good attitude. I wish you luck.

[@Livakivi]

I get where you're coming from, but I think you misunderstood the video. I am not impatient for the final product when it comes to the grind, for example, I've made multiple fully-fledged personal coding projects, one of which I've worked on for over 3000 hours in total by now, and working on that project is way more boring than working on a game. So, I know exactly what the process is like, and wouldn't mind it at all. Its not the process I "fear", its the resource (primarily time) and opportunity cost. When I say "I don't have an idea yet", its not that I don't have an idea for what the game could be, I have many ideas for games, the issues is that I don't (yet) have an idea that is: 1. Realistic for me to develop as a solo developer (in terms of scope and quality). 2. An idea that I am passionate about enough to care until the very end AND sacrifice(!) other things that I'm working on in order to work on it. The reason I said "maybe I will never make my dream game" is because I might never give game development priority over other things I'm working on. That's why I followed it up with "but that depends on me myself more than anything", because I know that if I actually decided to make a game, I would most likely finish it, even if it takes thousands of hours. The "hidden" meaning of the video was that everything you do has some sort of a cost, especially time-wise, and its your own choice how you spend that time. And I just used my experience with game development to demonstrate that, and why I've had to/have to sacrifice it when put against other things I'm doing. Hopefully that makes sense.

Very interesting video, personally I would like to maybe give two tips to solve the problem, first of all, I think you should just go for it regardless of that, your biggest strength seems to be your persistence on doing stuff, and if you can do 5 years of japanese, why not 10 years of that. Additionally, it to me seems that you have a kind of blindspot. You cannot do everything alone, that is not how life is designed as a game itself. I know that you seem to want to do it alone so that it is all your thing. The idea that you are a one man team is planted in your head by you, while I don't think you are at all incapable of finding one other person, which would already cut the effort and time needed to 50% or even just 10 percent if they are supporting you only a bit on the side. And that is only with one person. Well, I hope this didn't sound to direct in it's nature, I actually find your persistence the thing that makes you so great, your general sticking to yourself, but that probably indicates exactly that you might need to work on that more extroverted or let's say externally directed things. However, I hope you'll be able to realize your game!!

[@Livakivi]

Thanks for the comment! The issue with finding someone to help is that very often such a person is hard to find. I've worked on multiple projects with others, and every time they've gotten bored and given up after a few days or weeks, and considering that making a game can easily be a 3 to 5 year effort, its highly unlikely that I could find someone that would keep on grinding at the same effort as me for the entire period. Not to mention, one of the most common reasons why startups or new businesses fail is due to conflict between co-founders. Its hard to split 50-50 and expect both to put in the same amount of work, responsibility, motivation, provide the same amount of value, as well as have the same vision. These are the reasons why I didn't even really mention it in the video, as I personally didn't find it even worth considering, considering these points. Although, there is a chance I might have at least some help in the future :)
