I've been on a quest for over the last 4 years to release my first major commercial game. It's a lighthearted 2d action/adventure Metroidvania called Dewdrop Dynasty. Think Hollow Knight but with Ocarina of Time Mechanics and a lovable world and characters from Paper Mario. If you've ever thought to yourself "How to make a video game" or "How to release my first indie game" then follow along on my quest as I try to complete mine.

    i have been wanting to get into game dev for years but i had no idea how to get into it and once i found your channel i found two things. one, dewdrop looks awesome and im really excited to play it, and two, game dev is a lot easier to get into then i thought. i was completely lost on how to get into it but then i found your videos and learned, not how easy it is because it is not, but i learned that anyone can do it which helped me get started on my own game. but what im trying to say is, im so happy for you.

    Listen Goodgis! If I remember correctly you added difficulty settings which were represented by flowers of different colorurs. Please change the heart-meter-flower in a way that it changes it's colour in regards to the difficulty settings the player picked. It is always nice when games visually represent the difficulty mode you picked and that would be the perfect way to do it. Please consider it ♡
