The graphics are made by the artists, the engine doesn't matter much. Look at Sonic Colors Ultimate, it uses Godot's rendering engine. If you're just getting started you should try whichever engine, do some tutorials and see if you like it. That's what I'd recommend to start. Whether it's construct, gdevelop, Godot, unity, or another, whichever is fine. Although I recommend Godot and gdevelop as they're truly free and open source.

Can't stress how helpful making simple week long projects was to improving my motivation. After all a complete game is just a bunch of smaller projects in one complete package. But making one gives instant gratification nd the other may not see any tangible reward for a few months up to a few years.

Wonderful aim for your project here, can't wait to see more!

Can't wait for the Enter the Gungeon course you teased at the beginning

Majority of it is good advice. I only don't agree with the 'small projects'. For many this may work, but for some of us, it's boring and not challenging. When I started learning 3D-modelling, I quite quickly jumped to 'difficult' projects like creating a character. I don't like creating something I'm not fully invested in. So I don't want to make a game that doesn't interest me, just to make a game. So I pick a bigger project, but slice it up to manageable chunks. As you said, doing too many things/skills at once, it will slow you down. But atleast those are steps towards the sort of games you want to create. I need a car for my game? Well, I'm spending time learning how to model a car. I then have my car. Well, how let do I let it drive around? I learn that. Great, it's driving! What now? Oh, some lights. Let's learn/find out how to make the cars light lit up. Great, another step done. And so on and on. Big projects are manageable for learning. You just have to break it up enough to make it a 'simple project'. That way, I also realised Godot isn't the engine for me at this time. The car-physics aren't up to scratch, to what I want to achieve with it. And I like designing more than programming, although I have programming knowledge, albeit programming for websites and databases. Yes, I've dropped my projects from time to time. But that is mostly because of personal things happening in my life. Or getting stuck on things you can't seem to find a decent answer to. When I was at college, and made aware we weren't going to learn graphical programs, I started to learn on my own. At start it didn't go well, because I couldn't find the right information and someone in my class seem to do better than me. But after awhile, I found good recourses to learn, picked 'difficult' tutorials and after awhile, managed to surpass my classmate. And I was even learning 2 software at the same time, with one of them needing 2 to 3 sets of skills ( Adobe Flash -> design, animatie and program). First is to know yourself and how you work. Then pick something that can keep your interest and the rest is about finding the right resources.

I understand where you’re coming from but even then I’d start with smaller projects to absorb as much of the basics as possible. To me this is equivalent to coding challenges, you may not publish a solution to a coding challenge in your github account but you still feel your brain rewarding you when you succeed. Or your goal learning human languages might not be to ace Duolingo, but the extra 5 minutes of practice there might help internalize sentence structure and vocabulary better when you go talk to actual people.

Thanks I needed this

I am just starting now. I am from a finance background and have no idea about coding or game development. But I have ideas of making a game that keeps pestering me. I have planned to learn coding first and maybe start from a simple project. However I am a little skeptical if I ever will be able to learn coding and make my own game. I do have a day job and spending time on learning coding post work seems like a daunting task. I am not sure if I ever make my ideas into reality. But I am happy to see so much effort being put by so many content creator to help others develop a game. Thank you from behalf of all emerging game developers and newbies like me.

Hey, hope you’re doing well, just wanted to say that coding is daunting and not necessarily very intuitive at first, but it does get easier. Personally I’ve been afraid (or bored) of coding for most of my life until I finally gave it a shot and started practicing. Like all skills it takes time and effort to build and polish, but it’s doable. :)

Thank you good sir, your channel was one of the best to introduce me to game dev

Thank's so much for mentioning people with a "full-time job and family"! That gives me hope to finish my game at some point!

Setting a deadline and sticking to it is probably the best tip for me, because I'll usually start a project and leave it unfinished when things get too difficult, so with a deadline I either do it as best as I can or not and accept it as a failed attempt instead of it always being a work in progress.

this video is actually nice.

Your right about not trying to learn all of it at once I'm focusing on the art and music side of gaming now then coding.

Doing so many personal projects will help you to learn faster. After that pick a type of game you want to develop ( how to pick that - think of a small game that you'll definitely enjoy playing. Not a AAA game ) and then focus on that. Try to play all the games in that genre and learn what made them successful and what made them a failure along with developing your own game in that genre. Good luck👍

0:42 Since when does shorter code objectively means better and possibly easier?

@swaeyl3883

2 жыл бұрын

He is not making a statement about your programming style, where shorter does not necessarily mean better (as often readability is sacrificed). However, using a concise programming language like GDScript, Python, or Go makes coding more approachable, easier to learn, read and understand. Compare, for instance, a "hello world" program written in Java vs Python. I think we can objectively agree that the shorter of the two programs is easier to grasp and thus the better choice for a learner. I get your point, though. The first language I learned was Haskell, in which you can write much shorter and concise code as compared to say Java. Still it was the more difficult language to learn and I find the code still harder to digest as compared to the more verbose Java. So you are right, that it would be a wrong statement to say that shorter code equals better code. But in the context of the video, I think he is right, that a concise scripting language has many advantages for a beginner to learn, and readability being one of them.

I agree in part. It's really not a question of whether C# (unity) or C++ (Unreal) are better than other languages. But I believe it's much better for you to learn a language that will be useful outside the world of game creation. So much so that at the beginning of Unity, it had its own language (Buu Script). But it gave up, because it's easier to focus on a language that already has a market created and people can learn in other ways.

If you have the motivation it takes to not give up and most importantly enough knowledge to break big obstacles into smaller ones, sure why not. It's just not most people. And most people's dream games are not good candidates for learning foundations.

Sure.. community forum.. ask how to approach a problem on simple 3d stuff and you'll never get an answer, not even a vague one.

Are there any people here who need help creating their first video game soundtrack?

Unity has by far the worst tutorials ever, unreal is so hard you might as well learn to code without an engine in the time it takes to learn it and it lags and takes a lot to lead since it is heavy. Godot is the only one that's ridiculously light, has decent tutorials and is quite easy. It also has support for c# c++, so it can be used in 3 programming languages whilist other game engines can only be written in 1
