Everything in every game is a choice.

An intentional decision made by some developer or some designer that you probably don't think twice about.

The speed that dialogue shows up on screen.

The positioning of respawn points.

Whether the camera is static or whether it follows the player.

Think about all the sound effects that create an environment.

As someone who has the ability to make a video game,

so, you, hi, all you're doing is making choices.

And now that you've chosen to explore game development,

or you're at least a little bit curious,

the first choice that you'll need to make is deciding what engine or software you're going to use to make this game.

This is the place you'll probably code in,

lay out your levels, assemble all the nuggets of your game in.

It's not just a tool or a medium,

but it's a skill you're going to get better at over time.

Chances are you'll end up trying a lot of different things,

but I'm going to give you a rundown of your options.

You can either make your game through a game engine,

which is a software dedicated to game development,

or you can use what would be referred to as an IDE.

Now, a game engine might have things that are built in for game development,

so like a physics system or templates,

but it also might have more limitations.

Whereas in something like VS Code,

there are no limits per se,

but there's also nothing to hold your hand.

So if you are confident in coding,

you can use virtually any text editor and just raw code your game.

That is how a lot of popular indie titles have been made.

But for 80% of people probably watching this video,

you're going to want to use a game engine.

So I'll go ahead and give you all the options for your game engines in like probably,

hopefully, maybe under 60 seconds.

Ready?

Yeah.

This is arguably the most popular engine out there.

It's good for 2D or 3D games,

and you'll be coding primarily in C Sharp.

It's a bit overwhelming in my opinion.

It definitely has that professional vibe to it,

but it's a very powerful tool.

Maybe one to learn eventually, but not start with.

This one's my personal favorite it's what I started out with because it's fairly uncomplicated.

All your code will immediately connect two game objects for you.

You'd be making a 2D game in GML,

which is basically like if JavaScript and C++ had a baby.

If you're making what would be considered a typical RPG,

so turn-based combat, lots of dialogue,

this has all of that built in.

So you wouldn't really have to code a lot if you're just wanting those basic systems.

But if you have any unique mechanics,

you will be coding in either Ruby or JavaScript depending on the version.

If you're making a visual novel, use this.

I've used this one a lot too.

It uses what's called a node system,

so it's a little quirky.

I've always found it to be a little more complicated than it probably should be,

but a lot of people use it and a lot of people are migrating from Unity to Godot,

especially for game jams.

So it's worth playing around with it,

seeing if you like it.

This one is the industry standard for anything 3D graphically intensive.

If you're doing any heavy rendering and graphical stuff,

this can handle it and you'll probably be using C++.

Now remember, when you're first learning to make games,

you don't have to commit to any of those.

Sure, you do have to invest some time to really get a feel for things and make something,

but you will have all the time in the world to experiment,

figure out what works for you.

I have tried literally every game engine under the sun by now, so...

you'll be good.

So now that you've got your engine,

you essentially have the brick and the beef behind what's going to power your game.

But how are you going to learn to code?

How are you going to learn this engine?

And how are you going to ultimately make that game?

You're probably going to gravitate towards following a tutorial online,

which isn't bad, but it can be very easy to fall into what's called tutorial hell.

This is when you follow so many tutorials and you copy down so much code,

you trick your noggin into thinking that you learned how to code.

But then when you go and open an empty project,

you don't know what to do.

When you follow a tutorial,

you gain familiarity with what programming or using your game engine is like,

but you don't really do that actively unless you put in some extra steps.

So every line of code you copy down,

think to yourself, do I understand what this is doing?

What this variable is now storing or what this built in function is doing?

And if you don't, that's when you go online and you're gonna find what's called the documentation.

Every game engine and every programming language has its very own documentation.

This is basically a big document that talks about how code works and how to use it,

kind of like a manual for programming or just learning how to navigate an engine.

You're gonna want to find this,

bookmark it, kiss it on the lips,

because it's gonna be very useful.

It's also theoretically possible to learn game development from the documentation alone,

because that's how useful it is.

I've taught myself basically everything that I know from tutorials,

but that's because I forced myself to not go on autopilot after a certain point

100

and just tell myself I understood things that I didn't.

101

Follow tutorials enough to understand some of the fundamentals of programming or just the way to navigate your engine,

102

but after a certain point,

103

you do have to take that plunge into just trying on your own.

104

And at that point, it's okay if you have to look back at your old code or Google some stuff.

105

You can also start learning game development by teaching yourself introductory programming.

106

There's always courses online where you can do that,

107

or if you're in school,

108

definitely check out if there's a class offered for it.

109

I took my first coding class my sophomore year of high school,

110

and now I'm a computer science major.

111

That has done me wonders for understanding the logic of how systems in my game interact,

112

what connects to what, knowing the options for how I could code something or just the best way to do it.

113

Coding is the backbone of game development because at the end of the day, it is development.

114

A lot of people get into game development because they like to play games,

115

which, you know, makes sense.

116

I think that does check out.

117

But if you don't really like logic puzzles,

118

thinking critically, problem solving, it will be more of a struggle to get into.

119

I myself am not a math person.

120

I have never been.

121

I do not like it at all.

122

But I did kind of have to retrain my brain into enjoying some of that stuff.

123

At the end of the day,

124

I think the results from making a game and coding is so great that it makes it all worth it,

125

even if I don't love every step of the process.

126

But do know it is really important to understand the logic of programming,

127

and a lot of the tutorials that you will follow will emphasize that.

128

Who are you?

129

Allow me to introduce you to Carson,

130

my new C7M chair from today's sponsor, Flexispot.

131

Being at a computer all day,

132

my poor little back gets tired,

133

my head hurts, my neck hurts, everything hurts.

134

Unless I'm with Carson.

135

His backrest has two modes,

136

one for relaxing and one for productivity.

137

But either way, he has a latex padded seat

138

that can hold 300 pounds with adaptive lumbar support and up to a 128 degree recline.

139

His seat itself is nice and big,

140

so someone like me, who tends to edit like a frog,

141

can stay comfortable in any position.

142

With my last chair, I'd always have to use an extra pillow to brace my back,

143

but this guy's got it built in.

144

He's also got the most adjustable headrest you've ever seen,

145

five levels of backrest height adjustment,

146

adjustable seat depth, and a lot more,

147

so anyone can have a personalized seating experience.

148

I'm usually pretty skeptical about buying chairs online because they're usually built for adult men,

149

and I'm not an adult man.

150

I know, that's a shocker.

151

But every part of this chair is adaptive.

152

The armrests especially.

153

If I don't want them,

154

I can push them away or rotate them sideways.

155

I genuinely love it.

156

There's even a version of Carson out there in the wild that has a footrest.

157

Flexispot's C7M chair comes with a 30-day return policy for a risk-free trial

158

and a 10-year warranty with direct replacement for any damaged parts.

159

So if your chair needs an upgrade,

160

or maybe you're just feeling a little lonely,

161

you too can have your very own Carson.

162

Go to flexaspot.com and use code 24BFC7 to save an extra $50 on the C7M chair.

163

Where was I?

164

Oh yeah, if you're more of an artistic little duck like I am,

165

the good news is that in this day and age,

166

there are so many resources online to do it yourself,

167

if you want to.

168

Because let's look at the choice here fundamentally.

169

Why choose to make your own art for your game,

170

or why choose not to?

171

If your goal is to develop a fun game one day,

172

one that's on Steam, other people will play,

173

understand that time spent learning art is time spent taken away from coding and actual development.

174

Art is its own wormhole of a skill, and it's very rewarding.

175

It's my favorite part of the entire process.

176

But it is a finishing touch that's very often mistaken to be a fundamental step in the process.

177

Art can be edited or added into a game whenever you want to,

178

if that game exists, which means learning the engine and actually making that game should probably take priority.

179

Especially if you're like me

180

and you tend to get carried away by the more creative stuff

181

and suddenly you have an entire sprite sheet made for a game

182

that doesn't exist yet what so

183

when you're first learning to make games i would strongly recommend finding free assets out there

184

so you can focus on the actual development process and see

185

if you like it most major engines out there have their

186

own asset store where you can search by free 2d 3d pixel art

187

and if you're following a tutorial series most good ones will have assets linked in the description

188

so hopefully you don't have to put too much brain power into learning art

189

when you're first starting out but with that being said

190

if you do want to try and learn how to do art i will point you in in the right direction.

191

When it comes to pixel art,

192

that direction is a software called Asprite.

193

It does cost $20, but it is fantastic for not just pixel art,

194

but applying game design elements to that pixel art.

195

It's super easy to make animations and export them as sprite sheets,

196

make symmetrical tile sets, all that stuff.

197

I've been using it for a really long time now,

198

I think it's fantastic.

199

If you're looking for a free alternative,

200

Piscoll is a web-based engine that kind of does the same thing.

201

It's a website, it's free,

202

so it's definitely a lot more limited,

203

But if you're just trying to see if you actually like pixel art,

204

you can always start there.

205

Photoshop is also used pretty commonly because all you have to do is just set up a grid.

206

So if you already pay Adobe,

207

the small price of your soul every month,

208

you can just keep doing that.

209

When it comes to non-pixel art,

210

my understanding is that virtually any digital drawing app can be used.

211

Procreate is a really common one on mobile,

212

but otherwise there's GIMP and Krita on PC.

213

If you have never done art before and you want to make art for your game,

214

pixel art is the path of least resistance.

215

I wouldn't say it's outright easier,

216

I don't know if that's true,

217

but there are a lot less things on average to worry about.

218

Don't get me wrong, you still have to worry about proportions,

219

perspective, stylization, composition, color theory.

220

But with pixel art, you're usually working in smaller resolutions,

221

so it's a little less scary.

222

You don't really have to worry about the precision of lines or shading as much.

223

Overall, I'd say there's less of a learning curve than traditional art,

224

but you can fight me on that if you want to.

225

So if you do go that route,

226

you should also check out this website called LowSpec.

227

It's a website that's filled with color palettes specifically for pixel art.

228

There is no reason to try and teach yourself color theory when you're first getting the basics.

229

Having an existing palette means that you don't have to worry about color,

230

and you can focus more on shapes and lines and just the fundamentals.

231

So on LowSpec, you can find a small palette that has just a few shades of every color,

232

and your art will look a lot better.

233

To this day, I only ever use existing palettes,

234

because it's just one less thing that I have to worry about.

235

Now, I'll say the same thing about music and sound design that I said about art.

236

You shouldn't really worry about it when you're first starting out.

237

There's not really a reason to.

238

But if you want to,

239

there is this thing called Beatbox.

240

B-E-E-P-B-O-X.

241

All you have to do is just choose your instruments,

242

kind of click around, maybe understand a little bit of music theory.

243

So that's Beatbox.

244

LMMS is another more professional looking one out there.

245

It's more similar to something like FL Studio,

246

which is what the industry standard is for making actual music.

247

But again, just like art,

248

there's plenty of asset stores out there where you can just import music,

249

import sounds, and you don't have to worry about it until you have to.

250

By now, I hope you realize how much goes into making a game,

251

and you will have to keep that information organized.

252

Chances are that you have a description for your game written out,

253

either in your notes app or a Google Doc,

254

but as that idea expands in complexity,

255

you're gonna probably want something dedicated to organization.

256

I've used Microsoft OneNote to organize a good amount of my stuff.

257

It's basically like Google Docs,

258

but you organize everything into books,

259

and then those books have chapters,

260

and those chapters have pages.

261

So for example, I'd have a book for my game,

262

and then in that book,

263

I'd have a chapter for worldbuilding.

264

And then in that worldbuilding chapter,

265

I'd have a page for biomes, a page for characters.

266

Fun fact, right now that's how I manage all my content stuff.

267

So I have a chapter for scripts that I need to do,

268

and then another chapter for scripts I don't really know what to do with yet.

269

And then in those chapters,

270

I have pages for all the scripts individually.

271

But anyway, that's just what I do.

272

But if you want something free that's not a part of the Microsoft bubble,

273

there's Notion, Trello, or ClickUp,

274

which I've used a lot before.

275

One thing I will recommend is that in whatever organization app you do choose,

276

you keep track of your progress.

277

See, every day that I worked on this one project,

278

I would go to my OneNote and write down for that day everything that I did.

279

Oh, I watched a video in C Sharp,

280

or I finished this frame of this animation.

281

That way, when a month went by and I didn't really have anything tangible to show for my game,

282

I still felt like I did something.

283

A lot in game development happens behind the scenes and it doesn't necessarily have a direct output into your game.

284

So if you don't keep track of that stuff when you're first starting,

285

it can be hard to stay motivated.

286

But just because your progress or your learning isn't visible doesn't mean that it isn't progress.

287

Which is also why it's really important to have people to share with.

288

Having people in some capacity,

289

whether that's a Discord server,

290

a club, or just a group of friends that share the same interest as you,

291

they're gonna make game development infinitely easier.

292

Some kind of community where you can show your projects,

293

get feedback, bounce ideas, and ultimately just feel seen for your efforts.

294

That's the stuff.

295

It makes you realize that what you're doing isn't just you alone on an island.

296

Being 100% self-motivated is very impressive,

297

but I really do believe that there's a limit to how fulfilled you'll feel without connecting other people to the process somehow.

298

Whether that's having people play your game when it's done or just brainstorming with.

299

Creativity is such a gift,

300

so why not share it, you know?

301

Not to get deep, but somehow every game development video that I do ends up that way.

302

But anyway, if you don't have friends or a work or a school environment where you can share your stuff,

303

RIP, there are sites out there like Itch.io that let you publish your stuff for free.

304

People can then see it,

305

play it, interact with it,

306

or even buy it if you want.

307

You can also put art on there too,

308

so it doesn't have to be finished games per se.

309

They also host a lot of game jams through this site,

310

so if you want to see the most confusing,

311

overwhelming calendar that you will ever see in your life,

312

you can check that out too.

313

Game jams are basically when you have a small period of time,

314

so like a few days,

315

maybe one day, maybe a week,

316

to make a game that's usually based on a theme.

317

Those games are then judged,

318

sometimes there's a winner and a prize,

319

but it's a really good way to get practice once you

320

kind of are past the hump of being able to make some small game on your own.

321

If Itch.io isn't your thing though,

322

you also have the option of joining a game development discord.

323

Every major engine out there has their own discord server and they usually have like a help needed channel.

324

So if you get stuck,

325

you can always go there or you can show off your stuff.

326

And these are people that probably hopefully care.

327

There's also a lot of small servers out there

328

that you can find with websites like Disboard

329

and they're usually founded on building a community for game developers where you can make friends,

330

get feedback, brainstorm, all that stuff.

331

That's kind of what I'm trying to do with my Discord server,

332

so if you do want to join that,

333

it's in the description, I guess, or whatever.

334

It's stupid anyway.

335

People need people, and the harder things get,

336

the more people need people.

337

So find your people.

338

So that's basically everything you need to know to start making your own game.

339

We talked about game engines,

340

how to start coding, art, music, organization, community.

341

Nice.

342

Later down the line, you'll probably want to build some sort of marketing skills,

343

business management, maybe social media presence how to get better at overall game design,

344

so pacing, gameplay loops, level design,

345

mechanic design, all that fun stuff.

346

I believe in you, okay?

347

You will get there.

348

If this helped you in any way,

349

it would mean the world if you subscribed.

350

I hate saying that.

351

I'm so sorry.

352

It's disgusting.

353

It's fine.

354

Thank you for watching.

355

I'll see you guys in the next one.

356

Bye.

357

Say bye, Carson.
