Love the Apple keynote animations. I was wondering how these animations looked sleek and love how the answer is simple. Love the vid

WOW, the mindmap tip is incredible! Congratulations, your work is great, and thanks for the effort on sharing it all with us with such high quality!

Great insights on your game development workflow! Really appreciate the detailed explanation of how you use mind maps for task management and the efficiency it brings. Looking forward to more of your vlogs and learning from your experiences. Keep up the fantastic work, Jamie!

Wow, your animations are so smooth! And the game you're making looks cool! Just followed. I can't wait to see more of your devlogs :>

The keynote thing is an amazing tip, thanks! Great video 🙏

This is a wonderful video - thank you for sharing your setup in such a clear and actionable way.

Yooo its dope, having everything organised is half the work

the animation part was so good, I didn't know you can do high quality animations like this! it looks so professional

Thank you so much for sharing your workflow, definitely learned a lot and I am starting the mindmap right away! Also your game is adorable 🥰

Thanks for the video, I found it really helpful. Love the way you breakdown tasks in Miro. You’re great at explaining things too😊

Amazing video and great tips! The use of mind maps for task tracking was very surprising to me. It is so intuitive and I can't believe I haven't tried this. Will do on my next gamedev project!

I have to say, well done. Thanks for the mind map tool. I jump around so much,

this is insane presentation animation for technical videos. I love the simple breakdown approach to project management too, definitely usable for any solo software projects. Godsend ❤

Yoooooo, the shoutout to mind maps was great! They changed my everything. Also I saw the glimpse into your bjj map and got super happy because I do that too to logically organize what positions/transitions to review/train. I loved this video!!!! Thank you

Great walkthrough! Looking forward to seeing more!

Just discovered your channel - as a bit of a project management nut, I really loved how streamlined and simplified your workflow is. It makes getting the work done so much easier when you aren't spending all of your time working on your todos and all that, lol. Subscribed!

Hey Jamie, awesome Video! My biggest struggle in my journey so far ist to keep track of all my todo's. I tried several Tools and Lists. But it's never feels organic. Mindmaps I usually use for brainstorming, but I never got the thought to use it for task management, but this is a brilliant idea! You keep always the context and it's easy to extend! I think I will try this! Really, really awesome!

Fantastic video. It's always nice to see what other people use as tools and how they organize to make it simpler to understand and boost productivity. That mindmap is something I will experiment with, for sure. Thanks

Coming from an Agile-driven world, the mind-map tip is invaluable! Awesome video!

The Mindmap tip is awesome. Thank you! My mind can go crazy with ideas sometimes, and usually im just walking around and typing notes on my phone which is a bit messy if you look at it a few days later... Im sure this will help me to keep my thoughts a bit more organised, without adding too much complexity on the writing them down aspect!

Hello! I just started thinking of taking my art skills and turning it into game assets and this was so helpful for me. Making the mind map and applying it to workflow is so brilliant and sharing us your process with these tools was inspiring, thank you!

Thanks for the miro tip, gonna try for a small project and see how it goes.

Great sum up of your workflow. Glad I watched

I have been using miro for years and never even thought of using it that way, thank you!

영상 좋네요.. 집에서 유니티로 게임 만들어보려고 책사놓고 몇주째 읽지도 않고 있는데 취미로 이정도라니 대단하시네요.. 저도 이 영상보고 무기력 떨쳐버리고 다시 시작해보겠습니다.. 감사합니다..

Whoa! These are all great tips for software engineering in general! Love that keynote protip

Awesome video. Nice instructions and gave me some insights.

This motivated me to give mind maps another try as part of my project management workflow. Thanks!

wow, this is quality content! Thanks for that keynote tip!

Fantastic video - as a software developer who is trying to dabble in KZfaq & side projects, this is so helpful. Thank you, Jamie!

You really connected to me. Very glad the youtube algorithm found me. I have been using mind maps and trello and found there was something about trello that did quite fit till you pointed it out to me. Also, I always wonder how these simple but effective animations worked to articulate concepts to the audience. Thank you for sharing. Keep it up! You now have re-inspired me to dev log and you have a new follower ;)

Interesting use of a mind map. I like the approach!

What a great video. I feel very inspired to try mindmaps and PPT animations. Thanks!

This looks great, Jamie! Looking forward to your future vids (^^)

Thanks for sharing this, I've just started my own GameDev journey

Awesome Video! The more I think about it, the more I realize that using a mindmap to plan is actually so much better than what I've been doing with online task managers. I've also always thought those video animations were really neat, and knowing that I can use powerpoint to do that is really helpful. thanks :D

Really enjoyed the video, a lot of very actionable and practical tips !

I started using a similar mind map structure to describe various activities required for larger teams and organizations to build - it’s very effective tool to describe not only at the executive level but also to the individual contributors to see how their piece fits into the larger picture. Something I stumbled on accidentally and glad to see others leveraging something similar too.

Love this! I’ve tried a lot of apps with sub tasks but they’re generally more limited and don’t “map” to my mental model well, and def don’t have the flexibility you demonstrate here. I’ve also been a longtime fan of MindNode on iPad but haven’t used it in some time. This video prompted me to check back. I was so pleased to find it’s even added task (toggle/checkbox) support to nodes. And also has an amazing nested list layout if preferred for org etc Thank you so much for talking about this - genuinely useful.

You just instanatly switched me to mind maps, thanks!

thank you for sharing map approach!

Love the keynote tip! Subscribed!

I *love* your pixel art style! So much cute for so few pixels :D

I am a indie dev And i really like the way you presented ! I may adapt to your style to blog my Journey.

Loved the video really inspiring as I am wanting to dive into making a game myself with gadot. I would love to see a more indepth video on the mindmaps and tips for how to break stuff down. I have only ever used them for test plans with really complex systems.

Using keynote as its original intention deserves a sub for sure. I'll try the mind map, I think you've found the solution to all my jira problems.

I have never seen anyone giving the sauce so easily! Awesome content you got there!

This is great. Thanks. I didn't know you could do animations using keynote. I'll definitely try this out.

Excellent video! Congratulations! Gained another subscriber

Thanks Doc Geraud for linking this vidéo. Very useful

We're also devs and we loved the use of Miro for visual task-tracking; great tip And the Keynote tip blew our minds! 🤯

I like the minimalist kind of approach.

Yay a brand new Jamie vdieo dropped. Welcome back gamedev queen. I'm also learning godot via a udemy course I found and loving every bit of the journey as well myself. I'm also learning the basics from using Kenneys free asset packs as my starting point before I venture out on creating my own in the near future which I'm sure I'll enjoy as well. glad to see your game is coming along smoothly. Great seeing a new upload from ya again. :)

I remember commenting one of your videos saying your maps looked crazy, but you have changed my mind about them, I'm starting today with them, and since I already use Miro I guess it might just work like have it all in one place, thanks for such amazing videos. Also your way to explain things is really nice and structured, you should consider creating tutorials and selling them.

Great video!

Thanks, this mindmapping technique was exactly what I was looking for and I love how you're a Godot dev.

Such an efficient video, thanks for sharing all your workflow. I was really seduced by the mindmap, I was always relunctant to use notion or any other todo list, but the dynamic mindmap, event if it's seems limited, looks simply efficient. 🙏

Great video especially the keynote tip was superb! Good to see you again tho🙌

ooooh as someone who's had massive issues planning using Trello and Notion and actually tracking whats next, I'm really keen to see how you do this. NB I haven't watched the full vid yet!

Cool vid! Cheerz

thanks mnd map is really helpful remind me good old days of flow charts some sorts thus making it more readable for me flow

Graphs for managing tasks, just love it!

Hey thanks for this video, i love it that you remind us that simplicity can be better in this cyberworld

damnn loved the videoo jamie thanks a lot!!!

Taking notes. Thanks for the good advice.

That was cute and informative. Thank you!

The king is back

Wonderful video

Love the video, thanks!

i have never heard of mind maps before, this is very interesting!=)

Very helpful!

I really enjoyed this video, thankyou

Thank you，so helpful！

it was more than helpful, thx a lot

Omg -- I use mind maps at my day job when architecting schemas for development. I never thought to use it as a productivity tool. This seems like a game changer! Liked and subbed! Thank you Edit: And thank you for sharing keynote animations! Had never heard of that but love the animation style and will definitely help with my future videos!

Oh wow, I didn't know you could just use presentation software for these animations. Always thought people self coded these or used more sophisticated software. That's honestly amazing

The keynote tip is🤯

Thank you for sharing!🤟

Love the mind map idea for tracking tasks! Totally agree with keeping stuff simple. As a fellow hobbiest, theres only so much time i have to work on my game, so its better to make that time count.. by actually working on the game lol

Didn't know powerpoint could actually do that @_@. Great video

I love Miro, I use it for diagrams all the time, never thought of using it for task management, will try!

Helpful 😍 Thank you!

Great video! *Tools mentioned: Miro (mindmaps) Google Docs Godot (game engine & IDE) Aseprite (pixel art) asset packs OBS (screen recording) Apple Keynote (animations)(Mac) Adobe Premiere Pro ($$$) GitHub desktop GitHub commandline tool occasionaly *Mentioned or Previously used: Notion / Trello / Unity VS Code Powerpoint (animations)

Cozy pixel art game about a cat! Right up my alley!! I see godot and Aseprite so I’m already invested.

amazing video - subscribed ✅

This was quite help as someone new to your channel. Personally, I don't think there is enough flowchart tools out there because I use them for planing quests and dialogue options for games I want to create. I'm also in love with obsidian md for planning and research; and for planning D&D sessions. Nice about the animations though, makes sense and I will be definitely using these once I start a KZfaq game developer journey

thank you so much for sharing Miro , was looking for something similar and also could you make a video about how you use premier pro ? it would make for some really good content !

인간적으로 매력적인 분. 화이팅입니다.

Combine it with Obsidian Canvases and their ability to make single item in such mindmap a separate note and here you go - perfect project productivity system

Such an intelligent use of mind maps.

Good video 👍

Wow, that was a great walkthrough, thank you Jamie!

I like your mind map approach - software engineer here trying hard to become game content creator.

I never understood mindmaps. They are totally alien to my way of thinking. But... they are ABSOLUTELY EYE OPENING for task management and oh my, what have I been doing with my life all this time -.- (been making games and software professionally for decades)

For task managers I never get ones with paid versions, cuz they can always decide to charge later and I might end up losing a lot of crucial data. I use free mind maps for any task/goals, basically. Your method is really interesting, I'm gonna start adopting it. Thanks for the video.

Pixel art is such a wonderful thing. It's incredibly approachable, and at the same time it has a very high skill ceiling. ❤

great video, i just started learning godot and i am interested in doing a 2d pixel platformer as my first game, i was wondering if you can maybe make a playlist of all godot/pixel art tutorials/courses you watched and found relevant, that would be amazing , im defnitly gonna keep following you and your progress as im growing as a game developer

What you prefer a alternative for keynote? (Don't have apple product and don't wanna use Microsoft PowerPoint on browser...)

와. 한국계 미국인분이신가요? 멋있어요! 개발 애니메이션 정말 멋있게 짜시네요. Obsidian으로 비슷하게 하고 있는데 좀 더 영감을 받았어요. 정말 유용하게 봤답니다. 'a 'b Wow. You're Korean-American? Your development animations are really cool. I'm doing something similar with Obsidian, but you've inspired me a little bit more. This is a really helpful video, I'm so glad to see it.
