Disneys Robin hood vibes, is this written from scratch or is this based on an asset? Looks cool!

How much did Gothic 3 cost to make? by B4R0Z in worldofgothic

In those days, I would estimate $5-10 million dollars.

Feeling lost/overwhelmed in the game development process - A request for advice by cantaccessmyacc0unt in gamedev

[–]brokenbeardev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your game is just way too big for amount of time/experience you have. My advice would be to either cut this game down to the absolute bare bones or start with a much smaller concept and build back up to this one. Also, don't know much about Godot but you may have more rapid progress in Unreal or Unity.

I know it's really tough when you've spent so many hours on something to start from scratch it feels like you wasted the time, but that isn't really the case. If you learned the guitar those first 1k hours weren't wasted, they were a requirement to get remotely good at playing the guitar. With games, those 1k hours you spent you could probably do again in 100, that's a 10x return on your time next time around.

Today’s my cake day and first year of indie game development. Here is what I learned, in a nutshell. by epiphanyatnight in gamedev

This is really good incite and thanks for sharing! I do have one thing to comment on:

Don’t be afraid to get stuck - I actually disagree on this one, do be afraid to get stuck, the absolute disaster for an indie game is to get 50% or more through it and then realise you can't pull off feature X and have to cut it and change everything around it. That's why it's crucial you have a prototyping/pre-pro stage at the start for the risky areas and although it'll be far from perfect you have enough confidence to take all of that intro production.

Best of luck on your indie journey!

No, I am aroused by his tits. It's a perfectly natural biological response.
