A mistake which cost me a lot of dev time recently was trying to plan a progression system without properly establishing a game loop beyond the moment-to-moment action.
It was like playing Stardew Valley without having an 'end of day' or energy bar, things which provide a lot of critical context.

Lately, I've been listening to the 'Gone Fishing' and 'Catch of the Day' playlists by City Pigeon
They're delightful :)
'Animal Crossing: Taking Root' by Scruffy is another favourite of mine.

I'm a game dev and freelance sound designer currently working on a Cubivore-inspired Unreal 5 project and an air balloon themed shooter.
Would love to be part of your starter pack if there's room :)

Best of luck! And don't forget to plan out the minimum viable version of your game when you start. Makes it easier to focus on the core features and avoid getting lost in the details.

Ah, in that case I suppose Godot or Unity would be best.
The most important thing is to pick an engine, pick a simple game to replicate (like Pong or Flappy Bird), then follow a tutorial and complete it.
Sounds a bit boring, but small and simple projects are the best for learning the ropes.

Haven't used it in a while, but I recall GameMaker had a pretty intuitive visual coding system.
That was my first engine

Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest. Not a masterpiece by any stretch, but way too unique and interesting to be forgotten entirely.

There are some quite well-produced and interesting tutorial videos available on the Pro Sound Effects youtube channel, as well as some interviews. I really enjoyed their video on Spaceship Sound Design with Marshall McGee.

Thank you!
For linear re-sounds like that one, do you usually arrange all the ambiance layers linearly too? Or do you use a middleware to generate some of them organically first?

Just took a listen to your God of War re-sound. Fantastic stuff! I know the focus was on the axe, but the surrounding ambiance and foley sounds were brilliant too.

Sorry if I'm late to the party!
I'm an indie dev and freelance sound designer mainly working with UE5 and FMOD.
I've worked on sound design for animation, a bit of composing, as well as a few game dev projects like this one:

Looking forward to seeing what everyone's up to :)

Gorgeous render of this panel! It perfectly captures the original but contributes even more gravity and drama.
