MAPS: How we CRUSHED some HUGE obstacles in our indie game (and you can too!) | Devlog

In this devlog video, we dive into the game development challenges that we faced recently in building a map system for our metroidvania game and how we were able to overcome them.
We give 3 tips that got us through the hurdles, and hopefully will help you too if you find yourself in a tough spot during your own development journey.

If you're new to our channel, we're Brandon & Nikki from Sasquatch B Studios. We sold our house to start our game studio, and work full time on building our business and making our game, Veil of Maia.

Love the humour. Inspirational and practical.

Excellent tips! They say perfection is the enemy of Done and this is exactly right.

I agree with all of your points here B, over the past year or so of game development I've come to think of a game as a wall, with patterned sections as features: adding a brick at a time, taking small steps can lead to big results. The pattern, and eventually the wall will be complete in no time! The second tip is definitely great advice too - just getting something down and functioning is the biggest step to iterating and progressing. Great vid as always you two!

kinda crazy how we now live in a time when one can use ChatGPT to brainstorm and output code around these problems

Actually Brackeys is back! But in Godot universe this time!
