Making video games can be really tough. But thanks to cool game engines like Scratch, it's incredibly simple. It uses a high-level, visual scripting language to help teach kids and adults how to program. And honestly, it's perfect for people who are asking the question "How to learn how to program?" or "How to make video games". And after my last programming video using C++, let's see just how easy Scratch MIT is to use.

It's been over 5 months since the last Dewdrop Dynasty devlog. After a successful Kickstarter and a much needed break, I've been hard at work at reorganizing, optimizing, and building out the rest of the world.

Dewdrop Dynasty is a quirky, bug themed Metroidvania. It's inspired by games such as Paper Mario, Cave Story, and of course Hollow Knight. Run, dash, and crawl your way through a vast world. Battle with crazy bosses, find new guns and abilities, meet quirky characters, and most importantly find your way home.

Creating a Game Hook for My Indie Game

I Made a Speed Running Game With C++ and SDL2

You challenged me to make my first game using the C++ programming language. At first I tried the Raylib graphics library, but then decided to make it a real challenge and use SDL2/SDL. Can I create an epic speed running game or will I fail miserably?

Making a game without a game engine is pretty fun but challenging. C++ is notorious for being one of the hardest languages to learn, especially for beginners. That's why I decided to use a framework like Raylib and SDL2 to make it a little bit easier. Originally I going to try to make it in less than 48 hours, but I didn't realize how difficult it would end up being. If you're asking yourself, "How to Make a Game in C++" or "Should I use C++ to Make Games?" then hopefully my experience might help. Either way, this C++ challenge in a way was much harder than SmallAnt's pencil sharp speedrunning world record... Okay, well maybe not.

I Made a Speed Running Game With C++ and SDL2

Today I made my first game in the Python programming language using Pygame, which is a graphics library. Let's see if I can create a holiday inspired game with no experience.

I've been wanting to create a game without an engine for some time now. Specifically the Python programming language because it's easy to learn and used by many companies today. I decided to use the Pygame graphics library and see if I could create a game in 48 hours...though it may have taken me a couple days longer... If you're wondering "How to Make a Game in Python?" or better yet "How Easy is Python to Use" then you were on the same page as me. Hence why this video exists.

How To Get Started With Game Dev (Beginner's Guide)

I've made some pretty weird games over the years. And instead of keeping them to myself, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites with you. From Game Maker Studio to Godot, these games just keep getting weirder and weirder.

The Weirdest Games I've Ever Made

Time is the greatest enemy for any game developer. Whether it be the passing trends or someone else beating you to the finish line. Of course, games like Minecraft, Dwarf Fortress, Cave Story, and Fez all went through years of long development. But is that true for games nowadays?

This might be the end for Dewdrop Dynasty, but there's still hope.

Well...maybe I wasn't so secret about it but I've been working on some indie MMORPG prototypes for the past couple of months. Ever since I made my two Online RPGs Wizbirds and Fantasy World, I've had a desire to go back and actually make a good one. Inspired by games like Runescape, Maplestory, Paper Mario, and yes...even Dark Souls.

Pixel Art Tips that Every Artist Should Know (ft. @SquidGodDev )

Game developers lie to you all the time, but why?

You'll be surprised to hear that most video games, AAA and indie, use little tricks that lie to the player. Whether it be Hollow Knight, Bioshock, or even The Legend of Zelda, the list goes on and on. But why do game developers lie to the player? Well, there's actually a really great reason...
