Glad you found it helpful! Good luck with your game, you can always use these tricks for the following ones, the most important thing as a gamedev is to not stop after the first project :)

It's better to have something unique in a new game, just to keep sparking the curiosity.

Definitely, although many people will struggle with that, so combining different existing things can also be helpful if you cannot come up with a fully original idea :)

1:30 I think a large offender is the entire community telling everyone that “Execution is more important than ideas” which is misleading advice that comes from a place of good intentions. Yes being an ideas guy won’t achieve anything and iterative implementation is where great games are made, but you have to shove a lot of creativity in the core concept before starting.

Yeaj I've always been told to just start working on something and I'd figure out which direction to take it afterwards, and I don't think that's a good approach if your goal is to create a full release at some point

Yeah I've seen that on other videos where people talk about different genres. I don't know why they take it so personally it's a bit ridiculous, like I love roguelikes but if someone doesn't then that's okay, and if they think making one is a waste of time so what, I like them 🤷🏽♂️

@@AidanNieve I was on the idea of how people think you should make platformers because they're easy. I said something like you should only make platformers to learn the tools, afterward it's your choice. But people thought I said platformers is only worth for the sake of learning tools. While it's true for myself since I don't like platformers, it's still not what I meant. People should feel like they can make their own dream games after they learnt the tools, not waiting for their 10th games to publish before starting to work on it. But twitter is just a restrictive place to make such a long arguement, so there could be misunderstandings from shortened down sentences.

That's why I always avoid Twitter, it's such a toxic environment. And I agree, the first game I made with unity was a basic platformer from a tutorial, then a tower defense, and after that I could finally switch to Godot and work on a game I actually liked! :)

I can come up with ideas all day but I just can't find the time to actually make the levels. I always either make them way too large or put too much detail into them or both and it runs like crap. I do it in 3D and use Unity.

I totally get you, optimization can be a pain in the ass, I'm trying to manage at least a hundred enemies in my project and... It's not going too well 😅. Have you considered breaking down the levels you wanna make into really really small pieces, rather than going all in? For example my process to create skills for my games is broken into so many small parts, first I create the idea, then the art, then I manage the spawning of the skill, then the movement, etc etc. That way sometimes I only have 20 minutes, but at least I got 10% done and it felt like I finished an entire task rather than just a part of it, which keeps me motivated

yep, it's a game similar to vampire survivors, so I need a lot of enemies, they are really simple so that's not a problem, the problem is when I kill 60 at a time, I still have to figure out how to fix that! I have a playlist where I talk about the game although I only uploaded 2 videos so far: kzitem.info/news/bejne/yoCnvYyujquAq5w hopefully you'll notice I improved quite a lot since this video!

If you want to succeed in game dev but don't have a cool Idea in mind, then get a job in the industry instead of soloing. If you fancy the profit and the glory of "made-a-game-alone" more than the creation itself, then don't get into game dev, probably isn't for you.
@AidanNieve

I disagree, you can't really compare being a solo dev with working for a studio, at a studio you may be working on setting up animations all day every day, it's also an underpaid profession with a tendency towards overworking. If you cannot come up with ideas and you like software you should become a web dev or app dev, the game industry sucks. If it's a small indie studio and you are just not the director then yes, but working for Ubisoft, Blizzard, etc? I'd rather just quit gamedev to be honest
