  It&apos;s not my dream game, but I wanted to make a relatively ambitious farming/ community sim as my first game. Thanks in part to your advice, instead I&apos;m going to break it up and have each main system (farming, cooking, social etc) be its own standalone game on Itch, and once I&apos;ve done those, bring it together into the game I wanted to make. (Assuming at that time I even still want to make it.) Thanks for your practical advice and for not sugarcoating things!

  Handing my small prototype game (first time in 4+ years) to my friends while watching this video. You guys changed my world and I finally started making steps, thanks!

  I&apos;ve very much transitioned to seeing making games as a rewarding hobby but not something I can ever hope to profit from. At the end of the day I have to ask myself do I think it&apos;s worth spending my time on regardless of how anyone would feel about what I create. There are people who have devoted 15+ years to making a single game. They&apos;re the real inspiration. If you&apos;re lucky of course people will love your game too.

  One of my mentors in the past taught me &quot;It&apos;s easier to steer a moving ship than one sitting still.&quot; And that applies in so many areas. Another expression I&apos;ve heard is about how if you weren&apos;t embarrassed by the 1st version of your product, you waited too long to launch.<br><br>This video is full of wisdom that I think only comes with the experience you&apos;ve developed over the past couple years at BiteMe. And that&apos;s exactly what I did too, with my first game - just upload it to Itch. No marketing, no expectations, I just wanted to learn the process and PRODUCE something! And even then I carried it a lot further than probably it needed to be. But clearing that hurdle makes it so much easier to make a better 2nd game.

  So many great tips in this video. I&apos;m in a lucky position, as I&apos;ve been practicing art for over 20 years, some in class, most self learned. I also have 2 years of experience in graphic design, a dozen in music theory and making, 3 years of software engineering and 4 years of digital communication, 2 years game dev college, and a lifetime of game addiction until recently. My first game release on Steam is planned for this year, and I&apos;ve never felt more grateful for the life I&apos;ve been capable of living that let me attain all of these skills. I hope to see you guys doing well on the other side of this!

  If every single object isn’t perfectly laid out in memory for max efficiency while looping you’re not a <i>real</i> gamedev 😤
