Software Developer by day, super, masked GameDev ninja by night! Follow my journey to making my dream game! ("Godot' and "Unity" are my throwing stars...) | Website: https://nicklefritz.com/game-dev | YouTube: https://youtube.com/@nicklefritzDev
I tried making Brackeys' game from his "How To Make A Game" series, and the first video drops today at 4 pm EST! (And between you and me, this may be the most unhinged video I've made yet...) See the video today on my Nicklefritz Dev YouTube channel! #gameDev #devlog #indieDev #Unity3D

Hello! I'm a new game developer working in Unity and Godot. I'm a father and a dreamer; like most, I come from humble beginnings, and this is just a small part of my story. Let me know if you can relate! #gameDeveloper #Unity3D #Godot #GamingCommunity #gamedev

8. MYST

As the first computer game I ever played, this one holds a special place in my memory. My first computer had roughly 32 MB of RAM, so the game was nearly unplayable, but after watching a book fall one frame at a time over 2 hours, it was all worth it in the end!

7. SSX 3 (GameCube)

It didn't take me long to become a LEGEND at this game! I could win every race, 1st place every time! Jamming out down the slope to 'Radio Big' was an absolute vibe! I would play till my hands blistered!

6. Homeworld (PC)

I'm awful with real-time strategy games, but I couldn't stop engaging with this game's immersive atmosphere. To this day, it has one of the coolest openings for a game I've seen! Much like #markiplier, I think Space Is So Cool!

5. Banjo Kazooie (Nintendo 64)

Standing out (to me) as one of the most iconic story-driven adventure games of its era, this gem fits well alongside my red-capped plumber friend. Click Clock Wood and Mad Monster Mansion were my favorite levels!

4. Animal Crossing (GameCube)

My father said, "Here, I found this game at a Thrift Store; thought you might like it..." The hours and hours I poured into this game over summer vacations... Nothing has compared to that first little town I called home...

3. LEGO Rock Raiders (PC)

This game inspired a mini obsession with caves in young me (and its unique music style may have instilled my predisposition for liking #OwlCity years later...). I'd play the final level for hours trying to get all the energy crystals!

2. Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)

I can't tell you how many times I completed this game in its entirety, but I can say that back before I had the Internet to listen to music, I would beat Bowser over and over just to listen to that end theme one more time...

1. Donkey Kong Country (SNES)

My siblings and I would sit in front of the cabinet-encased CRT TV display for hours. The unique art style of 3D models plastered against a 2D world enthralled me, but the music held me captive far longer...

For many, childhood was an era of unbridled exploration and adventure. For me, growing up far from that "wild mountainside", these were my adventures...

I found a "Capsule Collider" in my daughter's cute little play vegetables. (Pretty interesting material on the mesh renderer, though... I think it's a sweet potato, but I'll have to talk to the art designer for this simulation). #IndieDev #GameDev #GameDevelopment

I don't know if I can express just how nice the little curvature of the cylindrical item of his belt on his right (our left) is in comparison to the straight version of the bottom row. This might be my favorite detail (after the hair, that is...).

I've heard it's important to play games when you make games (...you know, for research). So I started playing "Dear Esther"; this is how it's going so far... #walkingsimulator #indiegames

Hello! I'm an #indiegamedeveloper looking to make some friends in the #gaming industry! I've casually studied game development in #Unity and #Godot for a couple years and have recently been putting those skills to practice. Say, "Hello", if you make games and let me know what you're working on!
