Im not sure if many of you have heard of Doot, he is a game dev that has now released 3 small games with a lot of success, this post on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/15h3wyo/my_first_game_made_in_3_months_sold_1333_copies/ is an absolute gem when talking about making small games, everytime I read his breakdowns I learn so much! Hope you get somethjng out of it too. These are his games and I own all of them and they are all great! https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/38914/Doot_Tiny_Games/

Dream games can be a bit of controversial topic at times, cause they do come with big scope and at times it might be too difficult to ever do aka making and mmo by yourself 🫠 But I think its fun to think about and share what your dream game could be, I have a few, but I would love to hear what you guys have thought up!

When starting on your journey towards game development, always keep this in mind you don't know what you don't know, its like walking into a new world where the rules are not known by you yet, you will learn by either someone else helping you understand or by running into the issues yourself. A combination of both I think is the sweet spot, use resources to educate yourself, and ask questions about the general ideas necessary to continue in your project but try your best to figure out the specifics, the small details on your own. If we try to dive too deep into this new world your gonna get overwhelmed and your not gonna want to continue, but if you take things bit by bit you will find yourself taking on just what you feel comfortable with and build on that. I kind of wanted to try a little exercise give me something you would think would be small to work on, and ill give you something even smaller! I think it be good food for thought! 😊

Im sure ive almost heard everybodies, but I wanted to kind of formalize it here! Mine is Godot, ive been using it from the beginning, but im starting to explore other means of making games, been learning a bit of javascript recently. Anyways whats your favorite? or What do you feel most comfortable with! 🤔

We have big range of different types of developers here, but what is the first step you take when designing a new game?
