Should you build an Editor for your game? Drew Conley 2022-01-10 | Building an editor for your game is a large time investment but quickly pays off. In this video, we'll talk about how building your own editor (with JavaScript or any language that talks to your game) can enable you to quickly build content, respond to user feedback, and generally make your project easier to work on. These are all critical aspects to finishing your game and supporting it going forward. No matter the language or engine of your game, building your own tools will help your productivity and help you focus on the best player experience.00:00:00 Introduction00:01:10 Content is King00:02:09 Happy Grumps editor00:02:39 Reacting to user feedback00:04:22 Coding for Editor data00:06:12 How nice should your editor be?00:07:58 Danger Crew editor tour00:12:20 Wrapping Up💬 DiscordNeed help, have a question, or want to share your game dev project?

Story Progress! Pizza RPG Ep. 13 Drew Conley 2021-12-13 | In this video, we make a system for tracking player events. We can use this system to make NPCs say different things at different points in the game. For example, maybe a person says one standard line at the beginning of the game, then later congratulates you when you come back after winning a big boss battle or visiting a certain area.#pizzalegendsStarting Code (12)drive.google.com/file/d/1maKsmbd6Jd06ehvuS2a7jioLSNrnXMei/view?usp=sharingEnding Code (13)drive.google.com/file/d/1uarkRF5u4ZLmfzmPNfxMP221yJBje-7M/view?usp=sharing⭐️ Get early access to my full JS Game Dev course:drew-conley-courses.kit.com/66eb6d3ff4💬 Join our Discord community:discord.gg/umD2GRyTwitter:twitter.com/drewconley13

Delicious Pizza Lineups - RPG Battles Pt. 6 Drew Conley 2021-11-25 | We continue our RPG Battle series by allowing our chefs to switch out their active pizza with another combatant in the lineup.

Status Effects - Pizza RPG Battles Pt. 3 Drew Conley 2021-11-15 | Statuses are a key battle mechanic in any RPG! In this video, we'll add two statuses to our game: Saucy and Clumsy. Saucy characters will recover a bit of HP after every move. Clumsy characters are at risk of their moves not having any effect at all.

Pizza RPG Part 8 - Behaviors & Cutscenes Drew Conley 2021-10-28 | In this video, we create a global cutscene system to puppet our characters around. We can use this system to tell our characters what to do during intentional story sequences and how to behave when nothing else is going on. We start simple with simple WALK and STAND commands for our characters, but we will soon be layering in other types of world events.#pizzalegendsStarting Code (07):drive.google.com/file/d/1pSaqQJb4uZ3gquzwgaNsaWLWLMa-hAGV/view?usp=sharingEnding Code (08):drive.google.com/file/d/1JFC6md7v_7PH2Ls3-80HL8ImNACHWDrI/view?usp=sharing *** Links ***⭐️ Get early access to my full JS Game Dev course:drew-conley-courses.kit.com/66eb6d3ff4💬 Join our Discord community of people making video games:discord.gg/umD2GRyMore about Pizza Legends:https://coopmode.dev/series/pizza-legends-rpgTwitter:twitter.com/drewconley13

This effect adds an extra "exploring" aspect to the game. We also show the camera person changing to follow somebody else.
