How to create your own indie video game from scratch

Have you ever wondered what the real process of creating your own video game looks like?

In this devlog, I share my experience developing Nightmare Job and how you can start your own project from scratch.

Creating a video game is not just about coding. There is an important early stage where you define what you want to build, how it will work, and the kind of experience you want to deliver. This is where a GDD (Game Design Document) becomes essential.

In the video, I explain how I use these processes in my own development. From the initial concept to structuring mechanics, progression, and the overall player experience.

I also talk about something crucial: you don’t need everything figured out to start. Many people never begin because they feel unprepared, but the truth is that you learn by doing.

If you're thinking about creating your own game, this devlog will give you a clear starting point and a practical way to approach development.

Nightmare Job is the result of applying these processes step by step, and in this video I share part of that journey with you.
