To think that LG went from making air conditioner units to hide a serial killer’s blood slides, all the way to making some of the best screens in the industry. A true success story! o7
It’s crazy how when you watch someone doing/making something they’re passionate about it can push you to take steps in your own life toward goals that are completely separated from what you’re viewing. Thanks for the little push, Jack!!
It’s one of the reasons I agree with that expression of “you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with”! It’s important to surround yourself with motivated people who push you to be the best version of yourself (when possible)
Let me tell you how lucky you are to have someone like Nick willing to give you his time. In the programming world, finding a mentor is a godsend and is rare. and will level up your programming 100X faster. Do not take that man for granted.
Thank you ❤ Sadly this was my experience with the senior devs above me earlier in my career. I didn’t want to be that kind of senior dev and I’ve worked very hard at always taking the time to teach and share when there is an opportunity to do so.
@@nick-glenn Man, himself. I respect that you're trying to make beginners life easier by doing things differently when teaching them accordingly to your past experience with the field as a beginner.
Fun fact: Toy Story 2 was almost lost entirely because they didn't have version control and someone accidentally deleted the entire Linux server that stored all the assets for the studio computers. Employees scenes started losing assets and they stopped it but they still lost most of the movie. They were saved by the fact that one woman was working from home on maternity and had a computer that wasn't connected to the server with the assets!
When I lost my job in the animation industry I went through this journey. A knucklehead artist trying to learn code and systems to make games. A year later I have a fellow engineer helping me and our game just got funded on Kickstarter. Its so DANG cool to see another person walk a similar path in real time. I can tell you have what it takes to be a great game dev, cant wait for the big Sather releases in the future!
sudo rm -rf is a highly destructive action. Typically, the meaning of sudo rm-rf is that you are force-deleting all directories and files as a superuser
Yeah I'm sure the vast majority of people didn't know that, so I was hoping to see an explanation in the comments. "That's the joke" is just a cunty thing to say.
The REALLY dangerous part is the '/' at the end. It's what tells it to start at the root of the filesystem, truly deleting everything. Otherwise it's just like deleting files/folders on windows and emptying the recycling bin.
idk how you do it but you managed to make me sit through a whole video of how you made a game with my full attention and i didn't even skip the ad section either. i swear you could talk about paint drying and somehow make it interesting.
I think I like these game Dev videos even more than your normal videos. I just love watching your process and seeing you a achieve your goals, it's great so happy for you.
having someone in your field that has been around for longer than you taking you under their wing is something not even money could buy its beyond valuable
Dude. You have made an AMAZING game. Not only did you frickin power through this development process (managing to focus on what really counts and PUBLISH A GAME, something that not a lot of people can say!) But it plays GORGEOUSLY. I absolutely love the physics-based, always-have-to-hold-down-the-mouse-button thing for grabbing items. It seems obvious, but you've made a control scheme that is more interactive and physically weighty than I've honestly ever seen in a Vampire-Survivors-like... or many genres, for that matter. This has so much potential!
@@JackSatherI one 100% agree. The whole vibe, especially at night, I understand it and it’s very cool super unique and the characters look amazing. This game screams creativity man. And the sounds are amazing and for only 16 days regardless if your friend is talented, good stuff
Your video essays have always been really entertaining, but its clear as day how enthusiastic you are about game development. Id happily watch a thousand more of these videos documenting the future of Grave Danger and beyond. Cheers Jack :]
This little series has genuinely been one of the most inspirational series on this topic I have ever seen. I have always watched LOTS of video related to the topic and have been in the tech industry, including dev, for over 10 years. Kudos. Seriously.
Man you have reinvigorated not only my passion for gaming but my long lost desire to create my own games as well as creating art in general. Seeing the comments this seems to be a kind of universal thing. You have something about you that naturally inspires people it seems.
An hour ago I watched your Unreal Game Dev video. As someone who works in the field it was frustrating and charming to watch. Seeing you go from there to here, and getting a mentor, is amazing. I'm not your Dad but I'm oddly proud of you, stranger on the internet. Keep it up!
I'll be honest, as someone working on my own game solo, seeing your titles about finishing your first Godot game so quickly made me feel jealous. However, I finally watched your game dev videos and can say that you have inspired me to keep working on my game and not to feel envy for what others can do. Thank you for making these and for showing your process so much along the way! Looking forward to the next game you and Nick work on and excited for when I can share mine.
This was super fun to watch Ive never watched your videos before so i kinda wish you did more game dev stuff but hey keep doing what you normally make ya know. You're also contributing with your RU-vid skills... So marketing! Valuable skill to the team
i think my mistakes when trying to make a game is to find someone INSIDE my friend circle to help me. But you found a guy that is passionate in game development and is willing to teach you. You learn the coding part from him i can assure you that he very much appreciates that you can just draw out whatever is in your mind which is a golden combination. a coder and an artist (who is willing to code) working together to make a game. cudos to you guys. i also like the idea that you evolved your initial idea of a vampire survival game to make it physics based and respond to your input. a lot of these games are fun in its own way but this adds a level of depth/fun which is found in old flash games
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing this Jack. A game idea I've had in my head for a few years now is finally starting to make it to paper, but I also still need to learn all the things as well. Found your video on this learning journey. Good luck to you and I look forward to you upcoming videos and digging into what you already have.
Although I don't use GIT (my coding projects have never justified the effort), I learned the hard way many years ago just how important it is to at least back up stuff. I was messing around with PHP, and wrote a single line that was supposed to delete all the files in a certain folder, recursively. I accidentally wrote something like "delete /" and ran the code. It went to the root folder of that drive, and deleted every file that wasn't currently in use, on the entire drive. I lost about 200GB of files, movies, music, etc. This was in 2006, so 200GB back then was an insane amount of data to just... lose.
nowadays git is industry standard. Everytime i boot up a new project, the forst thing I do is just getting the first commit and publish on github. Git is also useful if you just wanna fuck around in different directions.Just create a branch and build. If like it , merge and keep, if dont like it, you can throw it
i enjoyed these, i reccomended it to my game dev group because a appreciate that while someone(i) could just do the tutorial you did, you learn from mistake and it saves us time if youre able to articulate that experience. the quality of your presentation and the thoughtful points make it very easy to watch, thank you for sharing your experience. i feel learning from someone 1 to 2 steps ahead of you is the ideal teacher. same in reverse, teach down 1 to 2 steps otherwise youre so far from the student logically that you forget what it was like to not know things.
I really love the way this channel is heading. Starting by reviewing games to thinking "maybe i can do this myself" to starting doing it. You content has always been great and i watched every single one of you videos, but lately has just been getting better and better. Keep it up! Game looks sick btw, the artwork is crazy good.
So nice to see you address how weird it is to go from your own thing to working with someone - super glad that you and Nick were such a good match for this game. Hope to see more of you both working together in future!
Thank you so much for sharing your game dev journey! It's cool to see the behind-the-scenes of this kind of stuff. Proud of what you've done so far and looking forward to what you'll do in the future!
As someone who just became a dev, the way you explained things is really nice! It may be overwhelming at first but all in all pretty awesome ! Nick seems like a great dude as well being patient with teaching you about development as well 🙏🙏🙏 great job and great game!!! I love the art pleaseeee ❤❤❤❤❤
From part one, it was enough to get me finally into making a game with Gadot. It's been a wonderfully stressful new hobby, can't wait to see what projects come out Sather's future!
This made me so motivated to start learning Godot myself (I've been wanting to learn it for a while now) for 20 minutes and 39 seconds, and then immediately that motivation went away when the video ended because I'm a huge procrastinator and I don't want to do it. I'll do it tomorrow, I think. Great video btw.
Hey Jack! I just want to say you've been one my very favorite RU-vid discoveries for the past year. Your general sense of creativity and insightful commentary really make sense to me. Keep up the good work!
Awesome that you stuck with it man, I hope you end up finishing it and are happy with it! And you go on to making as many games as long as it's enjoyable. ALL games should be made by people who love games, and nobody else.
the progression for the game is insane! glad to see you were happy with your final product, and found someone to help along the way. dev with a friend is always more fun :)
The wide-eyed wonder of learning what git is and what it's all about made me realize how much I take it for granted. I use it for my own Godot projects and it never occurred to me that others would just... not think about something like that or how to back up their project/file history. Git is amazing and is my second first love behind Ruby.
i've been really struggling lately and decided to pick up game development to keep my mind off of the negative things. it's always been a dream of mine to make a game, and your videos came at just the right time to give me the push i needed. thanks man, really appreciate it. oh and good luck on your journey!
I totally didn't expect you to explain Git, yet on your second episode! I know what it is and I've used it in my projects and everything, it's just that other devlog videos never go in depth in this sort of stuff which annoys me. Your game is awesome and this is a great team you are making :)
Game is looking excellent. Very inspiring to see the progress you’ve made! Also, RESPECT for playing The Finals! Not enough people play that game (it has taken up most of my free time since December).
You should be really proud of all you've done in such a short time, including finding a collaborator you work well with. The game has a very consistent and defined personality and style, it works the way you want it to work. What an accomplishment! I hate it. I hate having to swing the mouse around instead of just mouse-click or button to attack - but I'm not a fan of most mouse-aiming games. For me that's cumbersome. It also gets hard really fast without a lot of time to get used the game, but then I'm also not a fan of hard games. So, in conclusion, like many games it's not _for me,_ but I'm very happy for you, and everything you've learned and achieved. Well done!
Dude, without sounding too soppy, this makes me so happy. just seeing you get better and making your first game is so cool I'll definitely play your game!
Man, this feels so homie and comfortable. Feels great to see someone chase their dream and feel awesome about actually feeling like theyre almost reaching it. Keep it up man.
Love the art style! so inspiring not just making a game but on top of it making entertaining videos. Congrats guys! the game is looking wonderful, gonna play it! thought about sending an email several times but then saw the madness of the quantity you received in the first video haha
Love these videos man. Been subbed for a while now and always happy to see one of your new videos pop up. Your first video about starting your own game really struck a chord with me. I took a step back to think about what I really wanted to do with my life. Now, I have taken more steps than ever in a direction that I'm genuinely happy with. Thanks for the inspiration!
I've been trying to learn and make games for the past few months, and seeing your videos on game dev motivated me so much. Much kudos to you and Nick! Ya'll are killin' it :)
You'll probably do well as manager, (director or producer) like it seems you mostly did. Genuinely, good job using your clout to get folks to work under you. That aspect you mentioned about allowing people to do work for you, is actually huge.
Love your videos because your passion for making videos is obvious. This is a really cool pursuit that you're obviously super passionate about as well and it's a joy to watch you dive in! Thanks for sharing!!
youtube reccomended me three different videos from your channel loved them all didnt realize they were all from you, just subscribed keep up the work man love the vids been trying to get into programming myself.
There are certain creators that I truly wish for nothing but success. The vibes, enthusiasm, humor, etc. really go a long way in taking a 20 minute break from the day to day and it's just such a great thing to be able to support and ride along on your journey Jack. Cheers!
So happy you found such a great partner. I hope you guys make tons and tons of new and exciting games. Such an ispiring video (the Steve Jobs clip is awesome) Thank you Jack.
Man I just love the passion and direction you’ve taken with these last couple of videos! I have no knowledge or interest in learning how to make games myself but it’s been a blast being able to watch you go through this journey! Keep it up! Can’t wait to see what the future holds
Seeing someone pour their heart into what they love is incredibly inspiring. It reminds me that pursuing our passions can spark motivation in unexpected ways. Thanks for the boost, Jack!
Came across ur channel today after wanting to make my own game and man you have inspired me to give it ago! A big challenge for a complete beginner but the learning experiences would make the end product feel so rewarding once you accomplish what you set out for
Great quote from Steve Jobs to end the video. The progress you have made in learning game development since your first video is incredible and I will definitely check out Grave Danger
I was a little bit burned out after spending 2 weeks learning godot, but after watching this I feel rejuvenated and I will resume the Vampire Survival tutorials tonight. Thx!
Ur videos literally fill me up with warmth, joy and hope ...possibility and wonder ...I feel like I get a glimpse of seeing the world through ur eyes and boy it is Magical ..thanks man
im so jealous of you and nick. id kill to be in a similar team. looks like you guys click so well. so happy for you guys! And awesome video! enjoyed every minute. Subbed :)
Hell yeah! Glad to be watching the start of this journey and I cant wait to see where it goes. Love your production quality which makes me excited to see your games
Excellent effort, I just played it for 30 minutes and I absolutely loved what you tried to do with it! I can see you guys putting a month or two on it, add more levels, even scarier level design and do something great with it.
Wow the partnership with Nick really took this to the next level! Would you and/or Nick recommend Godot to someone with programming experience but no game dev experience? Great vid, as always!
So cool to see you start from scratch and honestly I have high hopes for you Jack. You and nick are going to take the world by storm, keep up the great work!
This is really great. I love programming so you moving into this space is awesome, but also seeing you go into something new totally unabashed and showing how it can fun to get out of your comfort zone is such a positive message. Thanks for putting it out there
I've been a game dev for years now and 100% agree, the day you add controller support and play your new baby like a "real" game is always big smile day.
Well done on learning Git, such skills are a necessity as a developer. Regarding the "alligator eats the bigger thing" comment (lol), I always remember < (less than) as "< looks like the letter L, and 'less than' begins with the letter 'L'. Which means that > must mean greater than. Adding the 'or equal' (=) is no biggie from there.
Hell yeah man congrats on finishing it I'm actually suffering through the polishing phase on my game with no experience. Man is a struggle and I wish I had a team to help me hahaha oh boy 😂😅
you literally got me interested in learning godot and its so fucking cool seeing how you went from absolute beginner to an actual game publishing developer
Well this is great Jack. I'm glad you tried and have so much fun with it. I'll keep on eye on you two. I'm not a programmer, but maybe i can help in other ways! I'll try out your game, it looks fun!
Yeah I'm not a programmer either but maybe I can help out in other ways too! Like maybe I can give the bosses handjobs while they program to keep morale up. Or maybe I could give interesting ideas for future ideas.
hi jack, glad to have seen u come so far!! i’ve been wanting to make little games myself, and this series has inspired to start doing so. keep it up, ur one of my favorite youtubers!
