1 Year Developing my Dream Indie Game | Devlog 1

Hey everyone! Welcome to the first devlog for my pixel art survival sandbox I'm developing using Unity. I'm Peter, I'm 15, and for the past year I've been working on my first indie game in my free time. In this video, I show off the core features of my game, and give some insight into the history of the project. I also focus a bit on the coding, giving some potentially useful tips on one method of implementing infinite procedural world generation. Hope you enjoy! 💻

Dude you are 15? Holy moly, I'm impressed, respect to you! Keep up the great work, I'm excited to see the further progress! :)

[AstroTechGuy]

I'm 30 years older and i'm deeply impressed. The item-graphics and the UI are so damn beautiful. Really well done so far!

[TheOnlyBlob]

Man 15 years old and is
A. 10x more productive then me when i was 15
B. Following his dreams.
Props to you 👍🎊

Incredible amount of work. Hope this does not go unnoticed.

When I was 15, I couldn't even write a line in Python. And here you are, with completely functional world generation and cute graphics. Amazing, and never give up!!! 🎉🎉

Boy I can't wait to see alpha's/early releases, this is insane.
But just as a note, please make the screenshake when hitting something an option to turn off :P

Simply put, this game looks AMAZING. I get the vibe of a valley kind of game, which seems like my own dream game. The sprites are are a perfect fit for this kind of game, and from the small amount of gameplay I am truly bamboozled ( In a good way! ) And you're 15? That's insane! I'll follow your journey closely and will pay whatever price required to play this amazing game. All the best to you!

Hey, i too am 15 yr old hobbiest game dev!

[vedant]

I am 19 year old, and now i started coding in java 😂, i am with you now because i really like your video and i also want to learn something about coding, so let's go 🎉❤❤❤

I turned 16 not too long ago. I feel like we are very similar. The difference is that you kept on doing one thing while I started jumping around when I got a little bored. It's like seeing what I could have become if I had just kept on doing game dev.

I'm not sad or jealous. Rather, I am more motivated than ever. If a 15 year old can do it, why can't I? What makes me less of a programmer than you? What makes me worse than you? Nothing. I will prove that I am cabable of growing at rapid speeds. I will prove that I am capable of doing great things.

Thanks for this video. I'll prove that I am a man of my word. In 2 - 3 months you'll hear from me again. This time I will have developed a prototype for my game though. See you then!

Hey, really cool video. Do you need help with music for your game?

[vinipi]

Men, the game is getting really cool, the art is AMAZING, i'm 15 years old trying to develop my game too. Wish you luck! (Sorry for bad English)

[loisky]

You're such a motivation boost to everyone here, man.

Like, you did this? And you're only 15?!!?!

Subscribed straight away, will look forward into more devlogs in the future

Love the art style, it’s similar to forager with the clean lines while having more detail and interest. You’ve made a ton of progress in both coding and art in just a year, great job man! Can’t wait to see more!

[carmelking]

Tfw this 15-year-old is better than most adults at coding AND art AND video scripting AND editing...

This game looks super fun!

[kidkouga]

As someone also in his game developers adventure just a little further ahead, if there's one piece of feedback I can share is make sure to identify your core game hook. In your case it sounds like the village building mechanics. I would make sure to work on those features first because that's the core gameloop hook. All the other features you build should revolve around that otherwise you risk scope creep without a core objective of the game

[Truce]

Had a better start to YouTube channel content making than I did lol!

[GoldenEdits]

I have a suggestion about the npcs I know there alot of work but I feel like you should add a lot of them because in games like stardew valley it really makes you feel immersed since all of the npcs have their own backstories and dialogue which I find really cool so I suggest keeping that in mind when creating npcs any way good luck with this and I hope to follow your new devlogs when they release!

[WattDesigns]

15??? I'm 26 and feel behind now, keep up the good work!

[LoreFurnace]

Amazing. Would you mind sharing some of the things you used as source to study Game Dev?
