Hello, and welcome to another Resttore devlog.

In this one I go over how I created a map and got the art style for my indie game.
It's not perfect and there's definitely room for improvement, so if you have any ideas let me know in the comments.

PS: I say the word "then" too many times.

This is a game development video similar to the devlog series that Randy, Code Monkey, Pontypants or AIA do for their own indie games.

Hey there, if you can afford it, please consider supporting me on Patreon, it really does make a big difference

[muffiincodes]

My you tube recommendations have been entirely small indie game dev channels recently, and I love how many there are on here. Such a feeling of community.

[UserLuigi]

Wow, the map went from mediocre results to decent quality map with the feel of what a real island would look like. This just goes to show just a little bit of detail can go a long long way in game development. This map looks perfect, and I bet any changes to it can make it even better. Amazing job! Looking forward to more devlogs. 😄

This is my favorite art style for video games; because it gives you the sense that it is actually a game. Nowadays, developers tend to try and simulate perfect realism, or try to approximate to the best of their ability.

in dev log 1, this man upgraded Pokemon Legends Arceus.

[majormeangames]

The world you made is beautiful so far, I can't wait to see it when it's done! A waterfall that maybe has a hidden area at the bottom would be cool.

[JayFolipurba]

Well it looks better than the new Pokemon..

[markstar]

Its amazing how far game dev has come, from waiting for big companie releases to something made by a random person

[allpixelsstudio]

"otherwise the character will fall endlessly into the abyss" .. proceed to show a Tiktok logo xDD that was genius xD

[patrickboosiefadin]

looks amazing! keeps the beauty of nature while preserving the feeling of lifeless

[CodingWithUnity]

Cool stuff, love houdini. Is nice actually seeing someone use it in their devlog :D

[aboxoftentacles]

Oh that's awesome bro, I'll see you in 2029 when you're almost done with the game

[fhnghifvi]

I liked that you explain many of the process.
Also It looks good and I would like to see more :)

[deppykun]

Dude if only they hired you for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Your work is amazing

[luh]

This looks awesome! Interresting choice, doing terrain before anything else. Personally I would start with gameplay, and once that's feeling good, i'd start with graphics, but I see why you started out with Terrain. Gives you the sort of vibe you want to have throughout the game. Interresting idea!

Btw. congrats on the 1k subs!

[nolosidney]

It's so pretty and seems like it would be peaceful to run around and find new animals and landmarks

[RoyalExc]

So many green flags while watching this, it's clear you have good experience under your belt already.
Also, I ADORE the visual direction and can't wait to see future devlogs, keep up the amazing work man :)

[Pierrethatsit]

Amazing devlog for an amazing-looking game! Sounds truly promising

[KaletheQuick]

Looks good man.
I have a challenge for you! Find a spot of your map that looks plain, mundane, and hide a really cool little spot in there! Like a tiny crevice with a waterfall, or just a hidden patch of flowers.

I see so many videos of making vast world's, but I don't think I've ever seen someone go into filing it with interesting things to find.

:50 seconds in as i'm totally invested, hear "that shit looks really complicated" and i just bust out in laughter. yes sir, I agree it does lol. excellent video bro!
