I'll join!

@@noisyether9211 Thanks

I joined! Noticed you didnt have a java code section! You should add one! Im making a game 100% from scratch all in java, no game engin

@@Damoganosaem done

@@ForkmachineGames amazing!

Really appreciate your support, thanks 😊

"Don’t obsess with the myth of a solo developer". sounds like you were pursuing fame over just making an enjoyable game. if you burned yourself out of passion, you wouldnt be heartbroken of what you couldn't do, you'd just shelf it, be content and pick it up another time. the real lesson isnt to simplify, its to have the correct goals in mind and prioritize the satisfaction of your passion rather than the end goal.

@@aromatic8565 weird conclusion to draw when you don’t know me or the game I was working on nor the circumstances that lead to me dropping the project. Assuming I didn’t shelf it and continue working on it is also weird 1 because I did exactly that for over 4 years, occasionally putting it on pause and continuing when I could overcome certain hurdles, and 2 because I literally said I plan to continue working on it/ starting from scratch. I also think your use of the word passion can be pretty toxic for new game devs and artists, first making an assumption as to my motivation and passion and second using it to dismiss many of the very real reasons as to why someone may not finish their game. Insinuating that those unable to finish a game they love simply weren’t passionate enough would be devastating to hear if someone failed at their first attempt to make a game. I want to encourage people to make stuff and to finish stuff as through the process you’ll learn so much and the next thing you’ll make will be way better because of it. Again misinterpreting things “myth of the solo developer” is just me trying to say people don’t HAVE to do everything themselves and to seek help and learn from others when they’re struggling, it has nothing to do with fame or what not, simply advising people not to place the world on their shoulders as they’re creating. Expecting yourself to do the work of 20 people just isn’t fair to put on yourself, that’s the myth. Also I’m unsure if you just completely misread my point about simplifying, or just don’t understand how game dev works? It’s like sculpting a person, you start blocking our the proportions and general forms, then you slowly start defining them over time, you build your sculpt after establishing a strong foundation where if you squinted your eyes you could get the idea of what it’s supposed to be, you wouldn’t just start with a block of clay and immediately jump to sculpting the nose or bicep in the best detail you could achieve, because by the time by the time you got to the feet everything would be kinda out of whack since you didn’t nail down your proportions first. You simply everything first, focus on your MVP, get the game running and playable and then refine as you go once you have what you need and know what requires your attention. And now, even if you hit a road block, holy crap you still made a game! “Prioritizing the satisfaction of your passion” is either wildly assuming I wasn’t passionate or just entirely missing the point, since that’s basically what I’m warning against, especially since I’m this video he was talking about wanting to finish this game. I kept working on things that excited me, kept making more assets, animations, environments, features, music, etc. my passion, instead of a clear and simple goal. When you CAN make anything it’s easy get caught up in polishing and all the little details that excite you instead of focusing on the hard parts that often need to be done first and prioritized. You can build a game with programmer art to see if the core gameplay is engaging and your ideas actually make sense before you jump right in on making that one environment photo real, or getting the IK and animation blending perfect. I can’t imagine anyone that’s made or finished a game would actually disagree with that so I’m going to assume you somehow misinterpreted what I was saying. It honestly pretty standard advice nearly everyone who’s made a game will give new people so idk where you got it twisted but I’ll take accountability for failing to communicate my point. I do want to harp on the ways in which you’re seemingly using “passion” in an equivalent way to when people say poor people just need to work harder or aren’t trying hard enough, or that depressed people just need to be happy and go on a run. Game development is hard and there are countless reasons one may not finish a game, ranging from mental health to lack of time, resources, or skill. Life gets in the way especially when you’re making games as a hobby and I hope you aren’t insinuating that those who can’t finish a game for some reason just wasn’t passionate enough or assume they wanted to make a game for the “wrong reasons” as imo that’s pretty ghoulish especially if you want to encourage more people to make games. I don’t think it’s fair to cast those kinds of judgements on those who want to create but hit a road block they struggle to overcome. I think it’s important to say “hey, that sucks. I’m sorry you weren’t able to make what you wanted to this time around, but look at all the things you learned, here’s what to avoid next time, good luck on your next project, try giving that game another shot after you’ve grown and done other projects.” The reason this is so long is because I think they way you use the term passion is pretty harmful and the way you cast judgments about others motivations is exactly the kind of gate keeping we need to keep far away from game dev, the more people creating and doing their best to improve their skills the better, the more games people finish the better. And making judgments like those you did is counter productive towards encouraging more people to make games and genuinely follow their passion. I’m sure that was not your intention but it’s important to consider how your words may effect new artists and creatives. I think despite how you said what you did, we actually agree that one should make games because they love them and they love the process of making them. That’s an assumption on my part but I hope you find yourself in the same camp. Instead of making a gross assumption on my motivations or goals with my game you could’ve asked. If you wanted to know what problems I encountered or why things played out the way they did I would’ve told you. If you wanted to know if I was actually passionate about my game I would’ve gone in to great detail about all the work I did and how my game worked and they inhuman hours I committed to it. Although, considering the length of my comment and this response, I feel like it should be obvious how important game dev is to me. Yikes… Hope that didn’t come across as too harsh, it just really rustles my jimmies when I imagine a younger me reading your comment after not finishing a game I worked hard on. And I definitely didn’t love having assumptions made about me or my game. In the event that you read all of this, thank you for your time and I hope you have a great day. Hope you make many awesome games you can be proud of.

thank you for this advice. if no one else benefited from this, just know that i did. thank you for sharing.

I ain’t reading allat 🔥🔥

I grade your essay 79%

couldn't agree more, having everything feels that it belongs to the same world is good enough

@@Azmyst__ but but.. i dont feel confident in making assets that look like they are from the same world as well... seems impossible :C

@@dmitriipinzari4586 They will be because they're from your world (you).

I'm framing this comment

Thanks I'll start with Ark System works 3d character models then loool XD

*He will save you in the greatest moment of despair into which you have forced him. There you go I fixed it xD

Future me would abandon me in a heartbeat

Have you thought of an overarching storyline yet? I'd be willing to help you brainstorm, I love that kinda stuff anyway.

I assume god of war is a big inspiration for the cursed warrior. Maybe the chains could also be used as a weapon? Imagine a mass of chains being summoned to temporarily hold enemies in place, be kinda cool!

U moroccan

Increase velocity of the character so it will looks more real

Yeah، game dev is where every for of art are united, music, drawing, writing, programming, so yeah, we will become better with practice and discipline, thanks for your kindness and support 🤗

Thank you 😊

Thanks, i hope it will get more epic 😊

The rule number 1, no overthinking, thanks for the kinds words man ❤️

Thanks brother for the kind words and the support ☺️

Thanks a lot brother 😊

Thank you!
