I've been waiting for this for so long thank you Reece!

Creep Scope? Scope Creep!
Thank you so much! Everything in this video, including the sponsorship (which I watched from start to end), was helpful for me!
Thank you for the advise im a freshman in high school and as soon as I get a computer I'll start my game dev story and have a channel to make devlogs about any games I make
β οΈ I get a 404 on the sponsorβs link. URL ends with a left-to-right mark (link copied from a word doc, perhaps?) β delete that to restore harmony. (Preview: π) Cheers, great video & my pleasure!
Thanks for the video It helped a lot, But I still have a problem. While I work on a game I usually plan out what Features should I add to it. However I become lazy and I make those Ideas smaller then more smaller. And in the end I realize I made another arcade game.
When a game developer uploads after a long time, it's always a treat to view.
i hate when creeps scope!
Itβs only been like 1 and a half months felt like forever βΎ
Another technique would be to just pick a genre and start making a game in that genre
That end example, without looking at the screen I thought you were talking about Digimon. Started out as monster training & care as a tomagachi game.
Nice! looking forward to more of this series! Cheers!
Hey man I donβt see any links to your game demo or landing pages in the description. Is this intentional?
Did you just say making games that make money is easy in the first 10 seconds of your video? I just want to make sure I understand you here but the sentence seems a bit confusing.
He's alive!
Aw heck yeah, thank you for making this series! I know it's gonna be super helpful as I'm developing my own game.
Lol what you mention about a console that can play everything and being unable to figure out what to play. That's me all the time with my Steam library…
A question though, I'm not sure I'm understanding the second point you made on how to develop ideas. You mention using creep scope for creating a game that you ultimately won't end up making. But all these systems need to be cohesive and make sense to further the overall gameplay. I'm assuming you meant that if the idea can support a ton of mechanics that all work together then you could start developing the game rather than avoiding it as many other game dev advice gurus tend to suggest. If not, then I think I might be failing to see how this method would be beneficial for developing an idea if it ultimately wouldn't be used.
Great stuff though. I'm really looking forward to more videos in this series!
Reece your advice is superb. I love this video. I'm all about the game ideas and you said very important points
Reece you the Man! Still inspiring ppl π My project is on hold.. mainly due to other thing being more important/entertaining. I'll get back on track and your work on youtube will help me re-capture my motivation π BIG LUV BROTHER! (p.s – Last thing I was working on was Mobs and their AI)
Less Is More .,.
Fantastic video! Well done ππ
