I'm already disappointed before starting, there is no risk of bigger disappointment
-
The best tip for me is not to give up and to try take everything positively. Good Luck Boyz!
-
Important distinction I just want to point out for anyone trying to match 3d art assets. You don't need a similar poly COUNT, but a similar poly DENSITY between assets.
-
Been working on my game for 3+ years now. It was nice to hear another solo dev having some of the same struggles. Thank you!

For most solo indie devs, I think it is important to sit down and actually play what you're making. I don't mean short 5-15 minute sessions as you're testing a new implementation, or playing through a little segment. I mean actually playing your own game. If you can't play your own game for hours as a biased player, then customers are not going to play your game for long either. I believe that will lead to refunds or no reviews, which will affect your Steam visibility

You may be solo, but not alone. I’m on the same journey. Let’s keep moving forward. Good luck and may you reach your goals!

hey buddy I'm in the same ride as yours! last night I published my first devlog .. lets see how solo's succeed!☺💞

As a solo dev (vids under my channel) I feel this in my soul. The work is daunting. Even with the skills necessary to complete the game (mostly) there is always something to do that I need to learn about. Having people to help with anything, ANYTHING can make a world of difference. I should write some code to automate making friends.

Thanks for the tips, I managed to make a Pong Clone and a flappy bird clone! I think I have a new idea what I want to work on next! Thanks for this wonderful video! Been an animator first and foremost and decided a few years ago to start dabbling into game dev and now I want to take it seriously
-
Great video, wished listed your game and look forward to trying it out. Keep up the good work!
-
really grateful. thank you mate 😊. wish you and all of us luck)
-
Thank you for you advice! Definitely have some great tips!
-
great info, not just for gamedev but for any project or product that one would like to produce, the Pareto principle is single handedly the most useful abstraction for development, it allows you to focus on the import aspects. The hardest part is finding the actual 20% it takes time and experience to understand what that actual entails. Good luck to you bud
-
Good video! Lots of good tips.
-
A well thought out set of tips. Thank you.
-

-
Really good tips. Thanks a lot. :)

Hey man! I've been 17 years in this industry and there is nothing more terrifying to me than going solo. I've tried many times and I faced the same problems you mention in this video, so your advices all are wise and legit. I started a solo project (Again!) after a few years since my last attempt and this time I'm trying to be as patient and methodic as possible. Thanks for your tips! And good luck with your game! ❤

Your game looks great man. keep it up.
