I've been on a quest for over the last 4 years to release my first major commercial game. It's a lighthearted 2d action/adventure Metroidvania called Dewdrop Dynasty. Think Hollow Knight but with Ocarina of Time Mechanics and a lovable world and characters from Paper Mario. If you've ever thought to yourself "How to make a video game" or "How to release my first indie game" then follow along on my quest as I try to complete mine.

Who needs Hollow knight silksong when you have dewdrop Dynasty?
the I didn't mean to make that rhyme part made me giggle
Hi
It's never too late to get more Wishlists!!! make team cherry eat their shoes!!!
As a solo game developer, your story has been super inspiring and has kept me going through even when I wanted to quit after losing motivation. Thank you man :) and Congratulations!!! Can't wait to play it :D Edit : MOMMMM IM FAMOUSSS
Same here. One of the first people who got me into hobby game dev in the first place a few years back. Really looking forward to this finally coming out.
We are on the same boat :), at some point you literally start treating you game like your baby and become obsessed with it, sometimes angry and definitely on top of the world when things work out, the fruit at the end due to my hard work is my driving force 💪
Honestly, it has been because of you all that I stuck with the project for this long. Your support has keep me motivated for so many years. Cheers!
One way i try to keep myself inspired for my own game is that theres going to be someone out there that probably would really love to play your game or see your idea come to life.
Same here.
i refuse to belive its been 4 years alredy it felt like one or two
Yea🎉😊❤
I worked on the game a year before I made the first devlog, so it's only been 3 years for you all.
@@Goodgis oh yeah that makes sense, good luck on the release i can tell you ill buy it as soon as its out and stream it on twitch !!!
I am so happy for you, you’re my inspiration for game development.
I couldn't have gotten this far without all of your support!
@@GoodgisI can’t wait until I get to play the game I’ve been following for 4 years, it hasn’t felt that long. I really love your content and I hope you do amazing in the future.
Really proud of you, and how far you've come! So close to the end
Much appreciated, Oliver! :D
If I remember. I’ll wishlist it for you. Cause it looks so great
Please do! Every wishlist helps the game tremendously!
@@Goodgis thanks for reminding me. It’s been done now
I can't wait play the game! The devlogs have been super inspiring, and I just love the art style so much, take your time Goodgis, I know you can make this into an amazingly cute game!

i have a lot of faith in your ability to finish this game and make something truly great and im glad to have backed this project. we believe in you goodgis!
I hope it lives up to your expectations! :D
Congratulations on the release of your game! I hope to get to that point eventually. I'm still working on what kind of story my game is going to have. Because, once I get a story, my game will have better direction!

I'm so looking forward to this! I've loved following your journey in making Dewdrop Dynasty, it's very inspiring for me as a solo dev :D
All the best for the rest of your development. I hope there’s lots of wonderful and creative moments where things start slotting together. Videos like this are so inspiring for people like me who are in the early stages of their game making process. So many thanks!

Thanks so much! :D
Looks pretty good dude! Good luck!
WOOO this is awesome! Super happy for you 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!! 😁
I've been watching you ever since i discovered ur channel, and i got to say, im so excited for this game! Thx for inspiring my own concept of my own game!
I am so excited! I wishlisted the game on steam, it looks so clean and fun! Cant wait!
This looks so clean, smooth and refreshing! (maybe because i like pixel art games :>) can't wait to try out the game :D
EX NICK TOAST! when is 2.4 news?
i already know what I'm playing soon. seriously though, amazing job with this. you've made me feel motivated to continue with my game
I’m so happy for you, definitely gonna play it 😊
Im so excited to actually play this game soon, Im happy youre able to finish your dream game!
This looks great. The quality of your video and game are both awesome. It’s such a feeling moment when you’re anticipating releasing your first project lol
So happy for you that you finished the gameplay! You’re on the home stretch Goodgis!
It was great working on the keyart of Dewdrop Dynasty! I can't wait for the release of the game :D
It looks great! Good job.
Game looks amazing! Can't wait to try it out once it comes out, you got this! :D
The game looks so incredible! I love Goodgis, gonna ask my friends to wishlist DewDrop Dynasty
congrats on completing dewdrop dynasty! wishlisted and hyped 🔥
i have been wanting to get into game dev for years but i had no idea how to get into it and once i found your channel i found two things. one, dewdrop looks awesome and im really excited to play it, and two, game dev is a lot easier to get into then i thought. i was completely lost on how to get into it but then i found your videos and learned, not how easy it is because it is not, but i learned that anyone can do it which helped me get started on my own game. but what im trying to say is, im so happy for you.
Ahh I'm so excited. The more games I play the more the grander, larger, and most anticipated ones exhaust me. I can't wait to enjoy a smaller but I'd reckon, more passionately made game when you release it!! Best of luck
The demo was so much fun (I loved using the gun as a platforming tool), so I'm super hyped for this project! Wish you the best.
This is really inspiring. I hope that your game will have a good launch.
Thanks so much!
i just adore the new art for po on the steam page
Its been a long journey but the end is near, you have done such a great job with the whole thing!
Thanks so much! :D
Listen Goodgis! If I remember correctly you added difficulty settings which were represented by flowers of different colorurs. Please change the heart-meter-flower in a way that it changes it's colour in regards to the difficulty settings the player picked. It is always nice when games visually represent the difficulty mode you picked and that would be the perfect way to do it. Please consider it ♡
The save flowers will change depending on difficulty. But your HP flower is something slightly different, which you will see eventually. ;)
I just went to wishlist it and remembered I already did lol, I can't wait!! It's looking so fun and polished!!
Thanks so much! :D
This is the first time I've seen your game. It actually looks pretty exciting…Wishlisting!
So cool that Giacomo helped you with the art! I’m excited for his Pinni game!
Played the demo of the game and instantly fell in love. Genuinely can't wait for the full release!
You are probably one of my top gamedev channels, i just like you vibes man. YOUR VIBES.
so proud to watch this journey from the beginning!
:D
I genuinely can’t wait to play the full game. I am *so* damn excited.
I know this might get buried in all the comments but I really can’t wait for the game’s release! I was terrified to start game dev for so long and seeing your videos finally gave me the push to try! Been supporting since the before the kickstarter (and backed it!) Thank you so much for inspiring other devs! ❤
On behalf of Goodgis and Firith Studio, thank you! Good luck on your game dev journey
I've played the demo so mamy times, I've never been so excited about a game as I am now! really looking forward to the big day :D
Awesome work dude!
I supported the kickstarter partially because I believed that you could make a cool Metroidvania, but I mostly did it so that you could work on that cool gnome MMO concept some more when you’re done with Dewdrop.
Wizbirds 2 :)
Congrats on finishing the game! 🥳 🎉
Bro the contrast from the beginning to the end is crazy, also I found this funny My dream game is finished! *THE END IS NEAR.*
I started watching you after you started making this, but this looks really fun and I might check it out since I have some spare money
great video man, watching you cures me from my gamedev burnout
Aww, thanks so much!
Gioodgis I just want to tell you that dewdrop dynasty has inspired me to continue game dev after so many fails, so thank you and best of luck!
Can't wait! This is one of the coolest games I have ever seen!
Thanks so much!
Cant wait to play this!
Thanks so much!
Good luck on the release
Thanks!
I'm rooting for this game’s success. You inspired me to take my first step in indie game dev, despite not knowing anything about pixel art or even what engine to use at the time. While I'm a solo dev and my game is going to take a good while to finish, I'm making the best of every day progress is made on my project and I hope I get to experience the finish line that you're about to cross with your game, someday. ❤
You got this! Game dev is all about being too stubborn to quit. haha
After what I've seen of this game on your channel the past few years I will definitely buy this game. You deserve it for all of your hard work! I'm an aspiring indie game dev and I'm on a Python course right now, it's definitely a learning curve for me but you've given me inspiration and motivation to keep going. Stay awesome!
It looks so cool!
You inspired me to create my game, Back to the Ground. Thank you!
very wholesome video. excited to play the game fam.
Ah the sonic casino levels. Had almost forgotten about those haha. Nice work on the game as well!!
Congrats this is amazing and great news
Thanks so much! :D
Looks dope!
Oh cool, I’m glad this game is pretty much finished! Already got it wishlisted and I can’t wait to play it! I should now probably stop procrastinating on my own game and get that done before 2028 too lmao
Great NEWS! Congrats for your incredible journey completing this amazing game!
you're almost done already?! time flies by so fast!
I really want to start game developing so watching you just wants me to do it more BTH love your vids :D
You should!
Yeah I’m gonna get start :DD
Tomorrow…
Hey, im a teenager and your project inspired me to start programing and making games . the only thing i can say is thank you thank you so much.👋👋👋
I might be getting a PC later this year but I'm unsure right now, if I do I'll definitely be getting this game
I'm solo developer myself and I feel you. All I can say by now is to wish you luck and patience with your project's future! :D
I appreciate that! Thanks so much.
Happy for you man.
cant wait to play!
I cant beleive its been 4 years , Well your journey and your videos has always been inspiring to me , i am another wanna be game developer ,games have been my passion and i have been curious about how games were made and then i found game devs like you , that inspired me a lot, rn i just practice gamedev on Gameboy or Gdevelop, i wanna be a professional in this industry , and i surely will try my best once i got the assets to do so ✌ Thank you for your awesome videos and thank you for being an inspiration to everyone ✨💖
you did it man… congrats!
Congrats on making it to the home stretch, now I really need to to start working on something myself...
Looks amazing after all these years! Do you think there’ll ever be multiplayer?
can't wait to play this game! it looks awesome. But I do have one tiny bit of feedback. pushing the box looks kinda slow and tedious. I personally hate pushing boxes in games. I think it would be cool if you could push the box and it moved a few tiles instantly.
Bro, please read this, you my bro inspired me to start making games and codes and pixel art, and i took a step and started doing projects in godot, thanks man, im really happy for you
i love this series
