Public Linux Depots:- The First Tree Linux [2.29 G]
My game dev school just launched! Steam followers get 40% offIt finally happened after 2.5 years of work: my online school GAME DEV UNLOCKED hit version 1.0! There is so much content that I can't even type it all up, so I made this sweet sizzle reel of everything:
[previewyoutube=42zkhTh66fw;full][/previewyoutube]
Don't know how to code? No problem. Don't know how to market your game on social media? It's covered. Want to publish your games everywhere including Steam and consoles? You got it.
I put my all into this learning resource, so if you've ever been tempted to make a game yourself and release it on Steam, you'll love this online course. I even walk you through how to make a beautiful exploration game called The Last Waterfall, and show you how to publish on Steam and start making money from game dev.

I'm very proud of all this content, and I would love if you joined our GDU family. It also has one of the best, nicest game dev communities ever, so take a look by clicking this link! You'll automatically redeem a coupon for 40% off! I'm excited to see what you create. :)

Home is Where One Starts… comes
The First Tree, a third-person exploration game centered around two parallel stories: a fox trying to find her missing family, and a son reconnecting with his father in Alaska. Players take control of the fox on a poignant and beautiful journey that crescendos at the source of life, and perhaps result in an understanding of death. Along the way, players can uncover artifacts and stories from the son's life as he becomes intertwined in the fox’s journey towards The First Tree.
Key Features:
- For fans of Journey, Firewatch, and Shelter.
- Not a "fox simulator," but an emotional, intimate story by a one-man team with an ending you won't soon forget.
- Featuring a gorgeous soundtrack by acclaimed artists like Message to Bears, Lowercase Noises, and Josh Kramer.
- A short game (about an hour and a half) focused on story with some light puzzle solving and platforming.
