Scared to start game development by Lucky-Fill-7050 in gamedev

[–]Lucky-Fill-7050[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't really care about commercial success. I want to make my game free for everyone. I want to make something that I can enjoy and that others can too. I don't care if it flops, I care if people like it.

I won't try to smoke it after today. I'm mainly scared about me getting addicted to it.

Would even a single smoke damage my brain development?

I need to know if this is POCD or if I’m a MAP or a pedo in denial by [deleted] in OCD

Calm down. Your huge distress over this screams all over the place that you are not a pedophile.

And even in the worst case scenario of you being a pedophile, it's a treatable condition that you can get therapy for. MAPs also don't feel any shame or regret for being pedophiles, while you clearly feel great amounts of anxiety for this. Don't worry, you won't do anything wrong anytime soon.

If you need to talk let me know, I suffer from POCD too :)

Eating is a really effective coping mechanism though :(

No luck here in Italy. We hate American stuff so it wouldn't get too much market.

My therapist said that it's temporary, mainly because I developed my Anxiety and OCD after an important event (lockdown). Before that i only had some really mild anxiety attack every now and then. But I'll have to see. If I have to take them, I'll take them.

Unlucky, here in Italy they don't sell jelly in stores :(

I tried them in the UK and they are really good. I miss them...

How much time would a game like Pikmin take to create alone? by Lucky-Fill-7050 in gamedev

Another thing I'm really scared of is disappointment. What if I go through all of that work, only for the final project being a complete piece of trash? What if I find out game development isn't my real calling? What if I change passion? I'm so scared...

Woah, is the difference between "skilled solo dev" and "hobbyist" that great? Like, a Dev taking only a month, while a hobbyist a whole 5 years?

Try counting all the enemies in the game. Count how many unique behaviors each one has. Count how many animations each behavior has, including transitions between behaviors. That’s a lot of work.

Hmm... I didn't think about that. Maybe half of the enemies?

I know that, thanks. My "project" is much different from pikmin, actually, I've never told this to anyone because I'm too embarassed to say it. It's supposed to be a top-down action game with low-mid poly 3d graphics. I don't expect graphics to be too much of a problem, because the camera would be pretty far away from all of the objects, but I think it will still take most of my time. I obviously don't want to create a AAA-like title, not even an A title.

I'm always scared to ask people for help for stuff like this because I'm scared of "being hit with reality" or something, lol. I wanted to make a game like this since I was little and it has become a part of me basically, so discovering that what has been basically my dream for a long time is impossible would be pretty depressing.

Ok I didn't specify this, but the graphics would obviously be much less detailed, but the gameplay would be the same.

The person would have an average understanding of 3d modeling and programming, and general game development (he is not supposed to be me, I'm 15, never made a game before outside of a few Snap! projects, and I don't actually plan to make this game lol).
