Your NEW IDEA isn't better than your CURRENT PROJECT.

I'm not sure exactly when this happened, but this is the first time I've had a video hit over 1 million views. I'm so proud of how this series turned out, despite its' flaws.

This uses some rough mock-up sprites but I think the new camera movement in the battles looks good. Thoughts?

Battles felt static and boring so I implemented some animations (inspired by Darkest Dungeon) to help bring them to life.

I've mostly implemented the mechanics from my paper prototype (see last devlog) and I needed some evolutions, so I did a few today.
It felt good to take a break from programming and just pixel.

Finishing
#endhall
has been a ton of work but the game is slowly coming together and turning into something that I'm proud of, even if it isn't perfect. Something important I learned this year is that games don't have to be perfect to be worth it. Releasing Nov 28th

The "no text" constraint I gave myself has been challenging in a fun way. It's forced me to consider different approaches for UI.
For the battle menu I came up with this spellbook concept. It's still early but I really like this direction.

My 6yo daughter's been using Microsoft Make Code Arcade to make small games. Each time she gets on she starts a new project.
Today she told me "I wanna make a new project but I just don't work on my new projects. I don't know why."

Over the last few of months, I've been rerecording my entire 1-bit Godot Course in Godot 4 (with some tweaks and new features). I just recorded the final video.
I'll announce its release tomorrow. If you already have it for 3.x, you can enroll in the 4.x version for free.

I found this image on facebook of a game I was working on 9 years ago. I was honestly shocked to see it compared with my current project.
It's fun to see how far I've come. I know I'll continue learning and growing with this amazing community.

I wanted to make enemies similar to the Metroid games where they crawl along a wall. I think I made them too powerful...

A while back I asked myself the question: "Why was I better at finishing games as a 17yo than I am now?"
The starting point for my answer: Constraints don't hold you back, they set you free.
I decided create and write out some personal gamedev constraints.

Here is my experience (a thread) with feeling discouraged while working on my indie game, Demonlocke, and what I did about it.
After Caleb left, Demonlocke took a pretty hard hit.
This was caused by cascading events:

Learn to work with your current project and improve it as much as you can. Learn to FINISH game instead of always switching. Write down the new ideas. You can use them later.

I've experienced some burnout over the last few weeks.
I guess I'm just trying to do too much right now. I have 2 game projects in development (both preproduction), a book (recently finished the first draft), a youtube series, and I'm rerecording my course for Godot 3.5.

Trying to scope a game is like trying to chose a difficulty setting before ever playing the game.

P.S. This is meant for people working on a full game. There is value found in bouncing around to new ideas and testing/toying with stuff quickly. It is a good way to start learning and come up with an idea. Once you commit, though, finish. Even if it means cutting back on scope.

The final video for my Godot Action RPG series will come out today.
The series has been a ton of fun and has given me many opportunities to learn more about Godot Engine.
It feels like there is so much depth to the engine and I've barely scratched the surface.

GDScript is one of the reasons I picked Godot over Unity in the first place. I love that Godot supports multiple languages but GDScript will always be my first choice.

It's like when you imagine a picture in your head. You try to draw it on paper but it doesn't look quite how you imagined.
The new idea is the picture in your head.
The current project is the picture on the paper.
It's not fair to compare them.

I've been working on an open-source tool that makes grid-based A* pathfinding easier in Godot. It's a simple script that you attach to a TileMap node that will automatically generate an A* grid using the used tiles of the TileMap. Here is a video about it:

The most important lesson I learned in 2019 is:
👉Long term habits are more important than short term results.
If you are having a rough day, prioritize keeping the habit over getting a bunch done.
