You Got This.

dogma balls

Those mf always are like "I did pixel art in school for fun" and show the most cool, beautiful pixel art you've ever seen. "Yeah those are alright-ish"

i dont know exactly how to express it, but this video made me feel like the first time i heard about programming, and gave me the joy that i got when my colleagues tried my first scratch project. amazing video. 10/10

Thanks for the video! Got not much to say but as a cs major i'm currently in a game dev journey too. Seeing your approach for your journey makes me realize i still have a long way to go too, but i will take it slow and enjoy the ride now, thank you.

I haven't been able to get motivated for anything for the past few years (longer, really), but you just gave me the push I needed to simply just *start*. Really great seeing your journey. Thank you 💖

bro I'm absolutely an artist making art and I love playing games, and I love making games! I've never felt more inspired to keep trying and keep learning

I think this is really inspiring, I've been wanting to fully commit to game development for a long time and hopefully end up making a game I'm proud of; but I've always had the issue of just where to start and how to keep up the motivation and pace of learning on a consistent basis. This is a good example of just taking the plunge and experimenting, a lot of people (me included) when it involves game development or anything long-form like drawing, modeling, programming, sometimes end up in positions of procrastination — and I think especially with programming because you often have to be consistent with learning. I've personally been off and on with learning and where exactly to start, I've learned some fundamentals of C++, some Lua, researched different game engines, but I've more than likely forgot some of it and that often discourages me. I think you should give yourself the benefit of the doubt and assume you remember some things, go back a couple chapters, and try again; it really is just about taking the plunge and just doing it and I think I'm starting to realize that with cases like yours.

I love stuff like this. I spend a lot of time playing and talking about games, and I'm finally working on learning how to actually make them.

Your sprite work is one of the best I've ever seen in my entire life, not to mention how good you're at drawing in general.

I'm just starting to take game development seriously as a hobby instead of a "hey this is something I could do if I wanted" type thing. I've been interested in making games since I was maybe 8, but never really got into it until now at 22. I'm not much of a mathematical/logical thinker, (I'm an artist and visual thinker above all else) so coding is really daunting to me, but I'm sure if I just keep at it I'll get somewhere passable. All this to say this video is really inspiring, seeing your humble beginnings, then making things that feel more and more like "you" as time goes on, if that makes sense. I hope I can get to a similar level one day!

love these kinds of videos imesnly. Watching someone go down their memories of past projects, some which they havent seen in year, is just wholesome and interesting overall.

Great stuff! It’s wild because I’ve played some of your games from the Game Makers Toolkit jams before, what a coinkydink! See you at the next GMTK jam!!!

I have an idea i think has HUGE potential but this industry is so daunting. Im in college for programming but the empty unity project is stressing me out big time. I need to hop on this or missing out on this opportunity will crush me.

Your prototypes/random game ideas are amazing. Very impressive for your first few; definitely better than my games..or lack thereof. Really inspiring and awesome

im so glad to find your channel. i will start uni soon and thinking of going for games engineering. ive never coded a full game before but i’m excited and full of ideas. i like ur art style too.

Fantastic video, id add that realising what even a “small step” how much of a achievement that is. Ive just started learning game dev and even something minor like a crouch or roll i celebrate internally as a huge victory. Good luck with all future projects

So glad I found your channel! and your game bunny hill is totally up my alley, just got it =)

Just want to point out how wholesome it is that you're surprised by the quality of your old work when rediscovering it. I hope I remember to come back and watch more of your videos on how to get started. You and Thor (Pirate Software) are very inspiring. Makes it really seem like anybody and everybody is capable of making games

this vid gave me the courage to finally start (i procrastinate alot) thanks a lot dude! Plus, I love how creative your game concepts are and I wanna know if you have any sources of inspiration that we could look to, too.

I really enjoy seeing videos like this that inspire and motive other (potential) devs! It doesn’t have to be perfect or world changing - it just has to be yours.
