Game Dev: What to do when you have NO IDEA where to start

In this video we talk about how to get started when you have no idea how. We discuss building competence in your abilities, continuous learning, producing content when you don't feel good enough, utilizing other people's expertise and consistent progress. We share all of our favourite game dev resources based on hundreds of hours of our own research time, all of which we actually have used or still do use ourselves. If you're new to our channel, we're Brandon & Nikki from Sasquatch B Studios. We sold our house to start our game studio, and work full time on building our business and making our game, Veil of Maia. Subscribe for NEW game dev videos every Monday & Thursday!
