Making a game again
It all started on YouTube About 3 years ago, more or less, was the last time I developed video games. I had a channel that I started around 2020-2021, called ocelotdev back then. It was a channel focused on being an extension of what Brackeys was doing at that time. Brackeys was, back then, the main content creator focused on video game development tutorials.

In the early 2020s, a YouTuber named ocelotdev started a channel dedicated to creating video game development tutorials. The channel's first tutorial was a guide on building a 3D flying controller in Unity, using real-life airplane mechanics gleaned from NASA documentation. As time went on, the YouTuber continued producing tutorials, eventually announcing in November 2021 that they planned to become an independent video game developer.
However, their first game project, a bullet hell isometric 3D game inspired by the Touhou Project and the movie The Thing, remained unfinished due to lack of experience in game development. The YouTuber's YouTube channel ultimately ceased production in late 2023 as they began working at a startup called finsphera full-time. Despite the project's demise, the YouTuber returned to YouTube in 2024, determined to pick up game development again in their free time.
With the support of their partner, a designer, the YouTuber plans to create a new game in an untitled genre, using the GODOT engine, and taking inspiration from Super Mario Wonder and Thank Goodness You're Here. The YouTuber commits to posting weekly updates on their YouTube channel as they progress with the game development, with the goal of staying consistent and disciplined in their new endeavor.
