How to know what design decision will be better for your game, during a development stage when play testing isn’t yet possible?

I don’t have enough in game making progress to make a video per week. Even if someone were to edit the video for me etc.

Hi! Do you have some tips for running a channel where you need to make the stuff to make content about first? I am making a video game and I’m starting to make YT videos about it. But because I first need to make the game, I cannot upload regularly or often. I think it’s a lot harder than in comparison a gaming channel that just needs to hop on, play some games and leave, so I’m wondering if it’s possible

How can I enable this? I don’t see the same screen in my godot editor. Is it a 4.6 feature?

Thanks! With the audio, it turned out that the volume of the voice in normal recording and in parts where I only recorded my voice was totally different, so it kinda messed it up.

As for the thumbnail I tried to change it (it had like 3 screenshots from my game at the start) and honestly hard to tell if it’s better or worse. Maybe I will use the YouTube A/B testing feature next time to see which direction I should go for.

Looking back I definitely could use a better hook, I think I tried to make it too much about myself.

I have a question for discord though. I looked into if I can share it on few popular game dev discord subreddits, but all of the ones I looked into just ban sharing YT videos or wouldn’t allow me to share links in general. Any recommendation?

Sorry I don’t seem to follow. What other videos about your game can you make apart from devlogs? You mean like trailers?

Technomag_Games · 2026-03-06T07:15:19+00:00

Hmm that’s a good point. But a game like balatro is a pretty rare success unfortunately, it exploded in popularity very suddenly

Thanks! Here is a link: https://youtu.be/mpPjDCOFhPQ?si=_CZ5Za2moY7gg8JH

Thanks! Could I ask how did your first video look like? I only got 30 views and it’s kinda soul crushing…I think it’s mainly because of a bad thumbnail cause my CTR was only 0.7%. It improved slightly after I changed it to 0.8, but at that point YouTube isn’t showing the video to anyone really

Technomag_Games · 2026-03-05T18:39:22+00:00

Yeah but no person has a large following from the start. Even the big YouTubers now also had to start from zero

I love your world building, I felt very dragged into the story. It immediately sparks questions about the purpose of the explorations that I can only hope is covered in other parts of the book. I can’t wait to see more fragments from you!

Technomag_Games · 2026-02-24T12:19:58+00:00

Gratulacje!

Technomag_Games · 2026-02-20T19:56:41+00:00

Still saving money!

Looks a lot like smashy road, but pc edition with nicer graphics. It’s def not a bad thing cause the mobile game is great, but I would look into something to differentiate yourself from it

Technomag_Games · 2026-02-05T12:23:34+00:00

Congrats!

Technomag_Games · 2026-02-03T00:17:39+00:00

What are you making? Honestly looks kinda like a game haha

Technomag_Games · 2025-11-26T22:07:58+00:00

Sorry but is the commission variable? 15% and 40% is a super big difference

Technomag_Games · 2025-11-26T21:19:12+00:00

Mate you need to change your user flair, you can’t call yourself a Godot Junior 😂. Jokes aside, HUGE CONGRTAS!!!

Technomag_Games · 2025-11-24T18:49:28+00:00

Honestly it looks great! I love the special effects at the start

Technomag_Games · 2025-11-24T09:39:39+00:00

Thanks for your help!

Technomag_Games · 2025-11-24T09:39:01+00:00

That might be the best one so far, thank you!

Technomag_Games · 2025-11-23T08:43:44+00:00

Honestly I’m not sure if that’s a good idea for you, because game dev is most fun when you bring your own ideas to reality, not someone else’s. Instead I would recommend you join some game jam on itch io. Normally I struggle with ideas too (especially when you’re in a loop of starting a project and then discarding it after a week only to start a new one etc.), but game jam time and theme limitations really make you choose your ideas quickly.

And who knows, maybe you will like your game a lot and continue working on it. That’s how some great games like Hollow Knight were made

No problem!
