2:36 Man, having friend that is character artist really shows.
Lmfao
lol
rolf
OOF
Haha 😂
I'm 34 and have wanted to design my own games or even work in a team for a long time. You've opened the door for me. Thank you 👍
So, any luck so far? :)
sooo whats the update on that?
Mahahahaha, People thnk its so easy to make a game let alone a good game. Here is the thing, 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of everyone trying will fail and give up or even worse stuck in a loop of starting and abandoning projects. Yeah sure it can be done solo, for you? Probably never. Abadon all hope all ye who enter game developing!
@@hungrygrimalkin5610 Nobody listen to this fool. Who are you to say we can or cant do something. Just because you failed at something doesn't mean everyone else will too.
@@hungrygrimalkin5610 ??? I didnt give up 3 months of learning and then I even made my own game? are you dumb? it is hard but it pays off.
2:05 Nice friends you've got right there.
That looks like a team of heavy metal band rather than game dev team.
@@themagnummaster357 it is litterally just that with some photoshop to put in his face.
2:37 the legendary bean🤣🤣!!
only Dani Fans will understand
2:35 Oh man, this was already looking so good and atmospheric! I can’t believe this was your first try
I suspect the blender artist was the best one out the bunch
This is how I got a passion for game development myself and keep me inspired to follow Game Development into college. I did a lot of experimenting like you with Unity in it's early stages, but was never good at programming. And the funny thing is I stumbled upon your channel and fell in love with your Survival Game tutorials and have never stopped watching since. So I'd just like to Thank you so much Brackey's for the inspiration and amazing content and keeping me inspired to develop games! :D
SixxFox What pushes you to learn more about Programming C#? Im kind of lacking motivation in studying programming
What I think about when it comes to learning more about Programming, is the fact that it is the meat and soul for how every game works and functions. I majored in Game Design & Animation when I went to college, and even learning how to animate and model on the side was really cool, the only flaw was it couldn't do anything until it had some code to it. I have a bunch of different motivations that change all the time when it comes to pushing myself to learn something new or struggling, but take breaks or chop it into pieces to make it easier on yourself. Hopefully this helped and I didn't want to make this too long to read :D
Sir Fix A Lot When you get something to work, it just feels amazing
+Sir Fix A Lot Here's what motivates me man. If you learn enough programming you can make objects do ANYTHING YOU WANT. The more you learn the more stuff you can do and the cooler stuff you can make. I hope that helps you out man, that idealogy helped me a lot
SixxFox ok
thats one good character artist you had back in the days!
Beikenost ahahah my thoughts too
0:50 lol you did it again 😂😂
"Game development is like jumping into the water before knowing how to swim, somehow you find a way to float". Couldn't be more accurate. (y)
I've been following you for 5 years, It's overwhelming to see the success you have had achieved over the years through commitment and hard work. Bless you.
When I was little, around the time I had started out in middle school, I was extremely fascinated with games. My parents were divorced and my dad worked over 14 hours a day as a truck driver, and my brothers were never home. So to keep me occupied, my dad went out and financed this dinosaur dell desktop from Costco. It sat in the living room next to the tv where I'd play halo 3 on the xbox360. Halo 3's forge mode really sparked my creative desire. But just like you, I wanted to make something all on my own. After doing digging online I found Unity. I actually ran into unity before I heard about game maker, and that's surprising because when I started using unity it was about 2010 maybe 2012. Kinda fuzzy thinking back that far. I remember the demo Island scene that came with Unity's standard assets and I remember spending countless hours watching the TornadoTwins and wondering how they did it. Eventually all the tutorials I watched and the experimenting I did for the past 6 or more years has made me into a fluent programmer. But Unity was still rough back then. I remember being very frustrated. And one time I even went to the Unity forums and asked for help but I got insulted by a Unity Guru for my spelling(I was a little kid, come on?). I actually left unity and tried game maker but I didn't like how game maker felt. Unity just felt more free and professional in terms of what you can do. Game maker might be easier, but Unity held my interest. I even tried this shitty RPG maker engine. Some weird sandbox engine for kids to make games. All of it was ass, I always found my way back to Unity. And it's really is crazy to see how far Unity has come. To think 6 years ago you had to put 2D sprites on 3D cubes and change the camera angle to only view the cube from one side so it looked 2D. Unity has come so far.
Outside The Box Dramatic story :) I’m 11 and just got into game development a few months ago, I can write a 3D platformer with basic combating mechanics and simple enemy AI trees. Hope I can keep progressing fast
+Pikatush That's awesome man! Keep improving and you'll be amazing
Thanks :) Hope you can keep improving too
+Pikatush Cheers mate, hope you can make something really cool some day
Hey eveyone i have always wanted to develope games but ive never tried it. Im 14 and i wandering do i need a good pc ir computer or can i use a laptop to mess around with unity or unreal.
I am currently studying videogame dev and honestly I don't know what I would do without this channel. You've helped me and many others so much and while I'm still getting frustrated trying to get most primitive programming to work but this video gives me hope for the future.
Thanks so much for the awesome content you provide for all of us, Brackeys.
Am only 16 and already have made 2 simple games because of this guy .....
Keep it up bro .👍👍
me 2.. but more games...
nice buddy ....but i have some problems in coding !!! can u help me out with that??? contact me in discord (JOKER#7006)
sent you friend req in discord
I am only 12 and learning to make games with unity but did'nt make any. Hope I soon make 1.
I'm flippen 10
and DID THE SAME
It took me nearly two years to publish my first game on Steam. One of the most important lessons for me is that even seasoned developers are still learning. It's easy to get discouraged when trying to tackle a complex problem such as building a game when you've never learned to program before. Framing game development as a learning experience totally changes that, since looking up references, asking questions, and just generally learning is part of the job.
Programming really does have a steep learning curve. Many times, I’ve found myself so frustrated to the point of wanting to quit. Your videos inspire me to keep trying and to not give up. Thank you!
I also want to delve into programming video - games one day. Thanks for this inspirational video!
EDIT: Thanks for the ❤ Brackeys!
I recommend Sooner rather than later, I wish I had even though I've been doing it for a few years now but I wanted to start years before but I kept putting it off. If anything just learn the basics like the UI of say Unity, and then if you feel adventurous give a tutorial a try. May take a while before you can remember stuff (Took me ages before I could make a bullet fire properly on my own in Gamemaker because I kept forgetting how to do things) but you'll get there!
I agree with the above reply. I am 19 now trying to learn so many different things about game design. When I was younger ( around 15 ), I would always try to do something to make games, if it was Roblox or Old Gamemaker ( as shown in the video ) I was just never motivated and kept quitting each time. So Please start now before you have regrets years down the line like me.
Thanks for your tips. I have already tried to do some programming. I'm 14 and al I know is qBasic. I hope I'll make a video - game soon. Of course, with the help of tutorials because I'm not really good at remembering code. Thanks.
Honestly, the best way to learn is to practice. Going to Uni to study programming helps, but it's not worth the money xD! Seriously find something you want to do, something small that you know you'll be enthused to finish. And the go ahead and make it. Because if you choose something your not interested in, you'll get half way through and then just get bored and stop.
@@BomberkingOriginal It was a great start
You helpled me so much in my life. I will support you in my life and send people to you and your games. Thank you for your time and your videos!
Well you are certainly a great example for all of us! I've been developing for quite a few years, and written 3 books on development and I still learn tonnes from your channel. Keep up the great work!
Happy holidays sir, thank you for your videos!
Hey Brackeys.
In my freshmen year of college I relied on your tutorials to help me create my first big final project in my Game Dev classes. I now work on the Asset Store team at Unity and I just want to say thank you for helping me and helping to make the dev community better. I'm now working to do the same.
Inspiring to recognize the walls you had to break through to get where you are today. Glad you stuck to it and are now helping newbies.
I'm in the same boat now! just learning modeling the miniscule code but aim to achieve the same as you have. Inspires me to go at it harder. And achieve that awesome feeling on publishing your first game. Great video mate.
I really do appreciate you telling your story on learning how to make games because it isn't the most simplest thing but it can be very interesting.
That is awesome :) ! Quality video once again team Brackeys ! If you continue down this road I have no doubt A - You'll reach 1 million subs, B - You'll end up making your own commercial tittle :) ! Cheers !
Blackthornprod hmmm looks like one indie game developer around here was correct...
i sub u
He is now 1.42 M!!
Great video Brackeys - its really cool to see your game dev journey.
I started studying videogame development 4 months ago, I already made my first videogame (very simple). I have learned a lot thanks to your videos and other videos that I found in the unity channel and the scripting references. Thank you so much
i also started learning when i was litte 8 i think and you were my biggest mentor then i finally got a powerful computer and downloaded unity and realized i didnt learn anything so i came back and decided to watch all your videos again so i can learn game dev. first i just copied code then i used ai and finally now i can edit and write my own basic scripts. all thanks to you my teacher.
I rly love your Tutorials, the way you explain the things make it easy to understand. I learned alot by taking the projects of your videos and building something more complex with it. Thanks alot for the inspiration and keep up your good work!
And you’ve inspired me to (try to) make games! Thank you! One month of programming and I can definitely see my improvements!
Omg i remembered the Tornado Twins!! And i rewatched the worm thing over and over again to make the codes make sense lol. Thanks Brackeys, this really brings back so much nostalgia to me. :)
You are so inspiring man!!
2:36 Okay but that environment looks sick!
Love this story. I'm only starting my first game project now largely thanks to Bracky's tutorials. But I remember waaay back in the day, I actually made my own MOBAs using Starcraft's editor. Playing with Unity today often takes me back since it's become so user-friendly it's practically a game itself.
NamelessCruiser I wonder how many people will get into game development when Dreams releases. If you don't already know, Dreams is a sandbox game where you'll be able to make your own game from scratch, and you'll be able to export the games you make to a game engine like Unity.
I always love to hear people's stories on how they got into their field, and it is interesting.
Wohoo @TornadoTwins !! They were one of the first who I learnt from and BurgzergArcade as well.
I guess everyone has been through trial and error in order to learn.. I started using Unity in 2010 when I was 13 and it was an amazing experience, my dream was just to make a simple cube that moves using player's input..
Thanks again for all your tutorials and wish you the best for the next 5 years and can't wait to see what you gonna come up with :D
Regards,
Omar
I just released my game "1v1 me bro" on the Play Store and I feel like I have to thank you ! You helped me so much and you kept me motivated, thanks Brackeys !
The most helpful man that helped me and everyone here i think , i was searching on youtube how to make a game and i founded Brackeys and followed him with tutorials and i maked my own game , My game is not finished in case of script since 3 years but i hope that i will make it
Thanks Brackeys 👌
Love this video ,it’s cool to know how people start their own story. thank you brackeys !!!
I started by making custom stories in Empire Earth, later I started modding Star Wars Jedi Knight 2, making my own levels, eventually, I started working on Game Maker, it helped me get a glimpse of how game developing works, then I got a certifying course on XNA, and by the end of my college years, I got an internship on making games with Unity. Have been using Unity since (4 years now). But ever since I first started "making games", I was around 15.
This is how I am right now! I only have 10 subs but I'm working on it little by little there's literally an endless supply of resources to learn this kind of stuff and watching vids like yours inspires me.
Tornado Twins got me started as well! I watched that series where they made that worm game where the worm shot fireballs over and over and over. I think the simplicity of that series and how straight forward it was really helped me learn unity and programming.
I really thank you for inspiring me. I have been learning unity with you and at this point was like, "Hey, I have nothing to do. Can I ever even make a game?" But this video inspired me a lot. Once again, a million thanks.
Thank you for your videos they have inspired me in many ways. I love your content and the way you inspire me to work towards my goal. Can't wait what content your going to make in 2018. Happy New Year!
Man... You are my hero... i wish to be know you early... When i first aware of your existence, you was uploaded your last video :(
But good luck man... Good luck and thanks for everything :)
I love how you're so inspiring, keep up the good work :D
This was really inspiring. Thank you for making these tutorials.
Out of all the languages/engines I've tried over the years Unity is the only one I've stuck with long enough to actually make anything semi-decent and it's all thanks to your tutorials.
I follow your channel with my other account since you had 20 000 subs... and really loved it. Funny Fact... that's pretty the same way how I started, but as I found your channel I really began to understand so many things... and learned to love making games since then thanks for that brackeys :). Now I don´t watch your videos that often because I have my own projects :). when i can afford it I definitely give you more patreon support :)
Whenever i come to youtube, at first i check Brackeys for new videoes. You guys are awesome ...
00:48 (and a little more ahead) killed me 🤣
Brackey's Thanks for being Awesome. Happy 2018. I hope one day I get to see u face to face.
I love programming. It's really satisfying to see my computer follows my instructions ☺️.
This video was really inspiring 😀❤️
Actually had to look at the timeline the second time to make sure the video was over xD
Nice knowing your backstory Brackeys!
I am making my first game today (I am about to sleep after first day) and it is tiring out really good thanks to your tutorials!! Thanks and keep up the good work!!
I started long ago on an Amiga with devpac assembler. I know over 40 languages now and can make pretty much anything happen I want.
Long ago there was a language called AmosPro and right up until the day I started with unity I felt there would never be an equal. However Unity can make you punch drunk really fast. Even with all I learned in the past. One day it just all clicked for me and I was off and running with Unity. That day happen watching one of your videos. I'd like to take the time to tank you for your work. Your videos are perfect, no fluff just facts. I think back to when I started and how reading over 10 books a problem was the only way to learn more. How lucky programers are today with people like you around. Thanks again.
I have a master's degree in Software Development and I have to say that is a great way to learn how to make games and get in the Game Development Industry, I learned a LOT. I even managed to make some demos and release a game for Windows Phone :D
Your tutorials brought me back to game development after 6 years, and man, Unity has massively improved in the last years. Thanks to you i'm even getting my hands on 3D modeling, something that scared me a lot before.
Amazing backstory. Thanks for the motivation. Game development is really for everyone.
Your Videos are always great and nice to watch, but this one was really, really beautiful. I think it was as open hearted/minded and honest as it could be. And it really brought back my spirit. By just seeing again that Software Development isn´t just setting up the IDE and getting started. It´s learning, sometimes from scratch. It´s making failures. Mostly all my skills developed from failures in the beginning. And with that said, I´m just loading up Unity and start again =)
That was amazing (you are my tornado twins), I have learned so much from you, please keep doing what you are doing !!!
This video was very inspiring. Thanks Brackeys!!!
I can relate to how you started, I'm also not sure of what I really want to do when it comes to game development, so I try to be the guy that puts it all together. And yea, as a programmer myself, I noticed you didn't knew quite well what you were doing in that old tutorial haha (first unity tutorial I watched).
Anyway, good job and keep it up.
I was going to ask you for this episode 💚
Ty ..
Just for knowing, you are one of my inspirationl people , THX ..
I wish to have a chance to support you as much as I can ❤
@Brackeys I really appreciate the way you explain plus I enjoy learning from you, so thank you buddy. 😎🤜🏼
Thank you so Much and Happy New Year :D
Thank you! Great channel! Thanks for the inspiration!
I have always wanted to make a game and this video has given me the inspiration to push through and learn unity, Thx
Inspiration as always, great work.
I got into game development due to a 2011 flash game. Yup, I mean Plazma Burst 2. Map making in that game was ultra fun and complex enough to make endless map ideas. Logic in that game is not handed via true coding, but by triggers. Triggers contain actions that receives two inputs and does a specific job. There are many actions to choose from and are well described in the manual which made it easy to directly experiment them without much help, at least most of the times.
1 month ago i started game development following your (How to create 3d game beginner)
After this month now i can create the game You did as a tutorial.
Thank you man. You are #1 for me.
I’m passing to medium
That's so crazy to me that you started developing games in almost the same way I did. I wonder how many young developers started by making Starcraft Broodwar and Warcraft 3 maps. I know I did, and then moved to Gamemaker 6 and then 7 and finally Unity!
Great video, great teacher!!!!...never leave us.!!!!
I really respect you Brackeys. I am currently trying to learn how to use Unity myself. I've only ever used RPG maker before this so C# and unity is a bit different to me and trying to use it independently is kinda difficult for me. My dream since a kid was to be a guy who makes games for a living cause at that time the idea of having a job making games is just surreal and it's still is to me till this day. I've only ever had lessons in Python but that was only the basics like making things move forward and creating geoflowers. Still I hope that I can get the hang of making a game like you one day. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for helping me realize my dream.
Woah, Tornado Twins! Those guys basically taught me programming too. I remember following the course on their site. Good times.
Thank you for your interesting and fun videos! )
Man this is exactly the same as my way of getting into game making :D -> Game Maker -> Blender -> now searching for some good Unity tutorials. And this is the place where I can get them, thanks a lot! :D
Inspiring! Thank you Brackeys!
Thanks for the video... very motivating.
u scared me man for real!! 0:52 really good video thx really motivated me :)
A Very inspiring video. Thanks bracks!
I got a lot of knowledge here. Thanks !!
Great story, now I have more confidence in myself
cool bro!! I also started making "games" with the BGE
It is like listening myself. I experimented with so much thinks like web dev, app dev , interior design and ton of stuffs before i start with game dev. Now i am using all i have learned to make video games.I have nothing successful for now, but at least i love what i am doing :)
Keep up the good work my friend.
this to u im looking forward to the future and not get bored
Really inspiring video bro
love you
I don't know if this guy inspires me or he is a living inspiration I have dived into game programming several times and some stuff pulled me out (school , work etc) but now this channel is something else I have developed my 1st game BrickBreaker with Unity and I am taking a course on photoshop to improve my Game assets , I really will like to be sharing my games with you.I have no role models I just create a picture of an awesome Me and want to be that but You are something else.
so awesome brackeys always
Cool! Thanks for sharing ❤️
As, always a great video. I myself started with an obsession with games that let you do what you want such as, MineCraft, and, Garry's Mod, I then moved onto making small replicas of retro games in, GameMaker, and now thanks to your amazing tutorials I am publishing my first game next week made in, Unity.
Thanks...
I would love to see your game when its done!
An excellent video, as always
The one meaning NEO ANDERSON! love it.
You are my main source for learning Uninty3D!
You are blessed to have artist friends :D
You're my inspiration bro!
Omg! I completely forgot about tornado twins until you mentioned them
So supportive. Thank you!
Awsome Brackeys, Good luck. :)
You're awesome thank you so much for the videos you make
Thank you for all the education and inspiration, Asbjørn. Your vidoes bring a kindness, clarity, and approach-ability to game development that I haven't seen before. Here's to 2018: another great year for game development and education!
tks man you help me so much with your videos
