Sheesh, game design is hard. I can't even figure out what the competitive element or win conditions are in my game. I feel like I don't even know what a game is anymore, like if I designed chess it would just be endlessly moving pieces around. How does this come so naturally to game devs? #gamedev

Back to parkour level design and then code in some features and effects.

I can't believe I streamed game dev for 20 days and the first 10 days I was probably working on the bean counter.

Very frustrating

I usually get 2-3 views on my live game dev videos on YouTube but today, I got 100+ views.

I know it's not good to use views to motivate me to code.

But the tiny feedback from people who watch me work in unity really boosts my morale because I don't have friends to talk about it.

Day 15

Back again, AND figured out how to add effects to the text counter that increments in a cool way when i eat a bean.

My friend recorded this for me

I've been coding and streaming my journey everyday for two weeks now.

Small steps but it's starting to click!

30-60 minutes a day pays off

Some days I code more off stream

Lots of frustrating moments

Any map tips in unity?

Will work on it this whole week.

#gamedev
Yesterday, I didn't get to code. I was running short on time, and had to get off the computer early. Will be back today!

Will take a break today to work on designing a map.
What should a beginner learn?

I broke down what feature to add for me to learn about game dev step by step:

1. Health bar
2. Floating potion sfx
3. Registering damage
4. Menu to quit the game
5. Pop-up damage
6. Mob launching projectiles
7. Mob aggro
...

How did you learn?

Cleaned the code today.

I went from multiple blocks of code down to a single function. Pretty cool to learn i wrote so much unnecessary code to over complicate a basic feature.

Thanks, Kevin!

It was something simple like that. I can't believe I got stuck on it for half a week. Ugh

But finally got the bean bar working!

I hope to launch on @steam this year?

Be cool to make enough to upgrade pc. I've been saving for 3+ years for a gfx card.

Another day, another try.

Still can't figure it out. I'm frustrated, and feel like I didn't achieve anything today.

I spent an hour off camera and another 40-something minutes live on Twitch.

Not sure yet why my bean counter doesn't increment more than 1. Prob misplaced the variable.

#gamedev
Bummer! I couldn't get the bean counter fx working. Didn't 2 hours on it. Will continue back tomorrow.
I couldn't add the bean counter fully yesterday. Will try again today.

I use Windows.

Not sure if I should switch to Ubuntu. I hear it's important to get comfortable with Linux for coding.

Many games now support it too.

Is it smart to switch?

Try not to learn everything at once and overwhelm yourself. Learning is a thing that is supposed to take time, and your also supposed to fail.

Yeah! I got potions now

I'm glad I spent the last few years on and off learning blender which came in handy today.

Also, added float fx to the potion!

Hopefully in 3-5 years, I can launch my dream-dream game before I graduate high school.

How do you not give up?

I really want to learn how to code and build a game in Unity.

As a kid, I feel lost on where to start when I can't ask my parents, relatives, and teachers for help.

No one I know knows how. But I don't want to give up.
