Are you ok bro? It's 3 months you don't post, we start to get worried. Please, if you are thinking bad things, don't. It's normal that after years working on a project you look at it and think: "It's this even fun?!" (this phrase was said by the developers of FTL, before they released their masterpiece that earned more than 10 Millions $) It's because you have seen and tried it so many times that the fun is gone (for you). But all the people that have never played it.. they will enjoy it a lot, and they will feel the same excitement of you when you started to develop it. Hope you are fine bro

I cant care less how much money it makes. I just want enough support to be able to do it.. So me and other people who are like me that are obsessed with the things that I am can just play it.. I think there is so much greed in the industry.

My mindset and lifestyle: I work hard on my game every day for 5 months. I also train and work full time. I reduce my free time to one hour a day and use the weekend to work on my game for 10-12 hours During the week I get around 12 hours. Weekends if everything goes well to about 25 every week so about 35 - 40 hours. I measure my time on the weekend to try to get more out of it week after week I try to keep my social activities to a minimum because I find nothing more fulfilling than using my time for my goals I get up at 3 a.m. and work on my game 1 and a half hours before I drive to work When I get home I sit in front of my game until I go to sleep, as I said (I shut down the PC an hour before bed) I repeat the same sentence over and over again 3 times a day for 5 minutes ("I do everything for my goals, I am successful") I am grateful every day that I can function healthily and full of energy I am prepared to work in this form for the next 5-10 years in order to achieve my goal. focus patience calm hope and energy that's my mindset...and my life style I love it! (I was a martial artist for years, so don't try to copy it now. My will and my discipline come from 12 years of sport. This comment only serves as an introduction and possibly as an example for you. I'll start creating videos shortly) By the way you can watch one of my fights on youtube (Kampfgeist vs Benzema) Im kampfgeist ;)

Indie devs try to wear too many hats, which is what led to this issue. If you run a business, never sign a contract without legal advice. It is both foolish and irresponsible to all parties involved. Dapper Penguin absolutely is to blame here. They didn't do their due diligence and basically asked to be taken advantage of.

I assume this is meant to be for a mobile game, but I really believe this could be a great opportunity for a great character with a great story arc. The new character has a lot of personality and interest. I would probably try a more dark toned with a lot more shadows instead of the flat cartoon look. But again, I assume it's more of a mobile fun styled game so it works too!

I'm a game dev doing this on the side as a hobby. Working on a title for 2 years now and I'll probably release for pennies if I don't go F2P. I run a couple of "IRL" businesses bringing in 10x the income I could ever hope to even if I did have success in game dev, so the financial return is not a factor for me. If half a dozen people pick my first game up and get a few hours of fun from it then that's it's own reward. Personally the romance is about having done it, rather than being successful from it. You're competing against thousands of people like me, unfortunately.

There is an issue with animator.Play(), when you call animator.Play(), it schedules the animation to start playing at the beginning of the next frame. For example: default animation is bullet animator.Play(explode); Debug.Log(animator.GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo(0)[0].clip.name); -> shows bullet on console animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).length Animation does not change right away, so animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).length might not result the correct time value.

Nothing of what is mentioned in the video actually makes you good. One thing that makes you good, is to work on the same game over and over again, instead of trying to do it from scratch. For example, imagine if you had 2 years of working on a game. Would you polish it even more for 6 months and release a new game on top of it, or start a complete new game from scratch which will probably take almost 2 years again? Building a platform on top of the game engine is what makes you better.

$30 is for a seriously good finished game in my areas of interest. I don’t care that many AAA publishers think $60+ is their price point. They are competing not only against all the other titles and sales but also with everything I already own. Multiplayer only and early access is serious problem. I have too many big name multiplayer abandoned games that I can’t play. Some were early access and not going there again, especially at $30. My wishlist is games I would consider if I ever make it through my existing collection created via enticing sales. Rarely a really enticing sale on Steam or GOG of a really interesting game will get purchased by me. Single player with cooperative play is a big plus.

Hey there. Love your channel and content. I was curious if you've evolved your animation workflow at all? I saw your video you posted a couple years back outlining your animation workflow in Adobe Animate. I use illustrator currently and animate in Unity, but I'm frustrated with a number of its limitations. I'm considering upgrading from an illustrator license to a all app plan and shift to animating in Adobe Animate. Spine and Spriter are too expensive for a single purpose tool and I like the idea of shifting between AA, AI, and PS as needed. Have you found a better tool/workflow for your process? And yeah, I get it will be a non-trivial change in terms of shifting from skeletal animation to sprite based animations, but as I'm still working to complete a vertical slice and don't have a ton of animated assets, it's not a huge deal at this point in the project. Thanks!

Popular games that make a ton of money are fundamentally great games, usually passion projects that others enjoyed as well. Too many chumps seeing their success jumping onboard thinking it is an ez money method, but lack the ability to make something even remotely as good. Either they hit the reality of how hard game dev can be, or they are terrible at designing a genuinely fun unique experience. So many mediocre projects or project with not that interesting gameplay/settings. They get where they can make a game well technically, but lack the ability to design one with proper genuinely good fun gameplay, and an appealing fun setting. If you are in it just for the money, you are in for a rough time more than likely unless you fully understand the essence of making a quality game that is actually appealing. Better to make a passion project you truly care about and want to make it as good as possible in every aspect. First of all, you enjoy it more, more likely to finish as a result, better results usually, and generally ironically more likely to gain that very success everyone would love to see. Too much mediocre junk just churned out. Same genre's, chasing the trends, half ass minimal games, and so on. Of course they won't be a crazy hits. Just look at vampire survivor. Terrible visuals and such, but not terrible for the price, but where it shines is in the actual uniquely fun experience that is fairly well balanced. Many games lack even that aspect...
