Comment from : Goodgis

As a solo game dev who worked on my indie game for the past 16 years, and only recently started trying to talk about my game a week ago, This video is giving me hopes that my game will start accumulating a fanbase gradually over the years, and getting sales off of my game when it's released, and turning game dev into a full time job! I'm not there yet, but I'll try to get there!

"I am no Toby Fox" is something that Toby Fox would say
Comment from : Khan

Comment from : karo

I'd never support an Indie crappy dev
Comment from : Sam Sammy

Money certainly is a motivator as game development is my dream job which I have been trying to and just started on the path of it My main motivation is to make games I'd enjoy playing because most games just don't satisfy me at all now
Comment from : rawkth

What was that genre generator you used at 1:38?
Comment from : TheGreenYoutuber

I loved how you were talking about the importance of relationships in our lives in that team work tiny game and inmediatly after you were hacking your companion's head with your axe while saying "relationships are most of the important things we get in this life"

Loving it! Just catching up with your channel :)
Comment from : Tomás Palazzi

number 1 rule to remember is game development takes timebrbrI started writing game ideas when I was 18 and didn't start working on a project till I was 23 I started on game maker 2 and switched to unreal after months of development time yeah it slowed my development time but I'm getting better results anyone can do it, you just have to commit and take the time just believe in yourself
Comment from : Alex

Great advice and you don't just want an audance you want a comunity some Youtubers get 1 millions of veiws a video yet have next to no subs Plenty of money but if they are followed if at all not for them but maybe a single series they make or loosely at best So yeah and normally you don't get to choose what you get But unless you absolutely need the money you normally want the comunity and the money can always come later
Comment from : Green&Blue Productions

5:56 Why 1 subscriber? hmm
Comment from : Perndoe

Nice video! I'm not a developer, but a composer for games Perhaps I'll write a blog about this subject for the developers I work with
Comment from : Restful Mind Music

I think the first 3 seconds of the video contain the answer :D
Comment from : Vodabois

What is the link to that genre generator Been searching for it but couldn't find it!
Comment from : Granieten

Also I'd like to point out: The Linux community is very supportive and helpful from what I've heard, and you'll become a hit in the Linux community if you make a good native Linux portbrAlso, shoutouts to the Dreamcast community, because they also really like when people port their game to the Dreamcast
Comment from : Toader The Toad

Comment from : Cosmic Dusk Wolf

Hey hoodgis, i wanna start game dev but i dont know what engine to choose,i wanna make 3D and 2D games but Godot is nad at 3D Im halfway trough CSharp but now i started to know that unity is bad
Comment from : Nikto

This is exact reason why I started my YouTube chanel :) On one hand I want to teach people (and learn in the process as they say "If you want to learn something start teaching it") how to use Godot but also have a way to market possible game development ;)
Comment from : KryperDev

Jesus you gave me a goddamn jumpscare with that sound effect at 6:39, I literally use it as a sound in my game :D

Comment from : Kamran Wali

I don't release a game until i check off the listbrbrIf you go in just for the money you lose that bet everytime brbrI always take my time with the game i am developing brbrIf you don't have passion and drive and love for the game brbrGood luck trying too get investors publishers and consumers to believe in you brbrMostly i try too look at it like a school project making sure i covered all the basesbrbrTexture brSoundbrBackground brEnemies movement brHeroes movement brCharacters modelbrWorld brbrSo i always double check before i publish any of my games brbrcause im a game tester as well as a independent developer
Comment from : The Music Producer And Game Developer

No, I don't us Unity! But I still think it's a good engine :D
Comment from : 2045

Great set of tips! I wonder if other online stores such as the epic store would be a good place to sell since they're really trying to compete with steam and take a smaller cut
Comment from : Skeffles

Not anything particularly new or unexpected for me personally in this video, but it is a nice and well edited compilation of important things to keep in mind, especially for people starting a gamedev journey to be aware of Keep up the good work!
Comment from : HybridLizard

Hey, Goodgis I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you've done and I hope there's more great content in the future I've watched all of your videos, played all of the games you've uploaded to Itch and I am very excited for Dewdrop Dynasty this December Keep up the Goodgis Work and thank you so much!

Comment from : MaxR Dev

Thank you so much for this great explanation :)brI'm glad that YouTube recommended this video after the failure of publishing my first game on Itch, haha
Comment from : GlitchHub - Game Development, Tutorials, DevLogs

Really nice video!br(tbh i prefer it when you make non-face videos because that way you end up editing more from what ive noticed and its honestly brilliant)brbrCant wait for the next video!
Comment from : Soup Noodles

Great video, thanks for sharing! Hopefully people in the future will be more willing to spend money on (some lesser known) indie games, but I have the feeling it' will get harder to survive for the majority of indie devs
Comment from : Centi Games

Great video!
Comment from : PlayWithFurcifer

6:50, the best part :Dbrand later a few second 6:53
Comment from : fake user tas

nice ;D
Comment from : its ME

Great video Goodgis! Found it very useful, marketing your game can be pain to do, so it's definitely useful to have developers talking about their experiences with it
Comment from : Games By Saul

0:42brU say Toby Fox, I likebrthat's just how it goes :/
Comment from : The Neon Cactus

Any aspiring gave devs watching this and want an idea for video games to make Here's a small list I have made of games I and many others would LOVE to play but honestly cannot play because theres no games out there that fit into these categoriesbrbr1 A dungeon crawler/rougelite Theres so few dungeon crawling video games like honestly the biggest two right now are path of exile and diablo and both of those are A Really old and B Ridiculously easy especially POE Would love a game with a decent story that atleast motivates me to keep playing where I go into an ever shifting dungeon exploring and gathering new non magic and magic items as I go most importantly it needs to be fast paced like Im not saying break neck speeds but slow paced Rougelites are so boring Think combining Moonlighter, Hades, Risk of Rain 2 and D&Dbrbr2 FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I NEED A PIRATE GAME I need something that is basically just a better version of puzzle pirates combined with uncharted waters online Why I like that game is that it was the perfect pirate game 1 Combat was OPTIONAL you can easily escape combat with your hoard of loot and go and sell and make money and most importantly wont be getting griefed once you are in port, it boggles my mind that I can pull into port in SOT and whilst offloading my chests ONE BY ONE AND EXTREMELY SLOW some randos can roll up blast my ship and take my shit like honestly WTF 2 Puzzle pirates solved the issue of not having anything to do whilst onboard your ship if you werent the one steering and thats with the puzzle games they were engaging and helped the ship it also prevented players from going AFK and those who did could/would be kicked for not contributing by the captain It also expanded to the mainland and gave you stuff to do Where they went wrong is overly monetizing the game and more importantly the things you could buy gave you an advantage in the game as well as very very few updates let it die
Comment from : Papa Salvo

What's the generator at 1:40 called?
Comment from : Guzel

Qaulity stuff as usualy This gives me hope, I'm not there yet, but I will get there if I keep at it and just keep putting my work out there for people to play and see It's less about money though, and more about getting more people to play and enjoy my games Even If I don't make it though, I still have fun doing it
Comment from : GingerNingerish

Great tips! Especially the one about being kind online: i feel like too many forget about that 🤔 how hard is it to remember that we’re all humans just trying to get by here?! brGreat work, keep it up and thanks for the upload! 👌
