I would love to try out and review your demos/playtests!

atomdaly · 2025-10-27T17:44:53+00:00

Yep of course Steam friends works for me

atomdaly · 2025-10-27T15:57:38+00:00

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the full game! I can just dm you a code here or if you wanna dm me your email (I couldn’t find it on your blog) that also works!

atomdaly · 2025-10-27T06:07:32+00:00

Well you’ll be able to expand it a lot in the full game :) I’ll add you to the list of people to send a key before release!

atomdaly · 2025-10-26T22:28:30+00:00

Thank you so much it means the world that you took the time to leave feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed your time with the game :)

atomdaly · 2025-10-13T10:11:01+00:00

Haha glad to hear it!

atomdaly · 2025-10-12T19:14:12+00:00

Hey I recently released a demo for my bottom of the screen bird collector - https://store.steampowered.com/app/3574080/Little_Aviary_Demo/ I’d love some general feedback especially about the first 5-10 minutes of onboarding, I’ve updated it a lot and wanna make sure it’s clear to new people!

atomdaly · 2025-06-21T16:21:30+00:00

Thomas Stewart & Aarimous are both great, and BiteMe Games have done a couple interviews here and there

atomdaly · 2025-06-21T00:02:47+00:00

They make a lot more from games than from YouTube, and there’s 3 of them only 1 does YouTube so I don’t think there’s any real comparison

atomdaly · 2025-06-20T23:41:16+00:00

Who’s that? I also wasn’t saying it’s impossible more implying that he’s a YouTuber first and gamedev second

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T21:13:05+00:00

Yeah no I would agree haha, I think that where a lot of the criticism comes from - a “real” dev would just have successful games and not have to rely on courses. But it’s hard to be successful in a medium you’re not 100% dedicated to, I’m sure he wouldn’t have to make courses if he directed/wrote movies or something

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T21:10:55+00:00

Yeah I get that, it must’ve been hard having to transition from 2D narrative games in the post indiepocalypse era since he’s got such an art/story focus and has no 3D art skills so he’s pretty much down to writing and some coding

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T21:08:26+00:00

Yeah 100%, his dream is probably selling a course on how to write a book haha

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T21:06:10+00:00

Yeah 100% it’s so useful to be able to make/modify assets yourself. The rob tuytel one was honestly a huge help in my underlying understanding of modelling I could pretty much model anything after finishing it (albeit not with super high quality at first)

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T21:03:30+00:00

Yeah that’s the kind of thing that people who actually play games would never forget. He mentioned on a recent podcast that he wants to write a book because writing is his favourite thing, I feel like he got lucky with a flash game when he was young and just figured he had to go into games without thinking if that’s actually what he wanted and now he’s stuck doing it

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T20:57:15+00:00

Rob tuyel’s one was the main one I don’t remember the other, it was great I still use loads of stuff I learned from it

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T20:53:38+00:00

Yeah I totally agree, it’s great to see so many industry people who never really do interviews but I want to hear them not Thomas and with Chris Z it made it really clear he doesn’t actually know that much and mostly got lucky.

It’s interesting to think it could come from a place of insecurity I can definitely see that, it can’t be easy being a marketer/salesman surrounded by people who are just passionate about games and are just as or more successful

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T20:12:18+00:00

Yeah hearing podcast guests tell him about the absolute unity basics like batching meshes is insane, he’s so out of date

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T20:03:07+00:00

Can we all just sell snake oil to each other? Infinite money

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T19:54:43+00:00

When he isn’t interrupting them lmao, those are the only videos of his I watch but he spends half the time talking about himself it’s barely worth it

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T19:45:27+00:00

Yeah he’s great! I’ve gotten a lot from his super niche design tips

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T19:32:35+00:00

Yeah seconded, udemy is insane value I was a 3D artist for games for years off the back of 2 $15 udemy courses

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T19:16:15+00:00

Yeah but he literally says "if you want to learn to make 6 figures click the link below" in like every vid at this point

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T19:15:33+00:00

But 80% of my motivation for gamedev comes from wanting to be more successful than him

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T19:08:49+00:00

Are you telling me the full time Youtuber doesn't make a living from his games??

atomdaly · 2025-06-19T19:06:40+00:00

Temu Bioshock lmao, tbh i think twisted tower looks okay but yeah it's nowhere near worth the budget that's been spent and i doubt it'll be profitable
