  • In this video, we're discussing how you can get into game development, and I'm sharing some of my greatest tips and experiences.
    It's a big industry waiting for new people to join. You can get going in the industry, or you can sit where you are and "be too intimidated" to start. Which one do you pick? :)
    If you're willing to start off, good, because then you've come to the right video. Let me know if you have anything in your mind, that being questions, suggestions, or anything at all!
    I hope you guys enjoy. :)

      Sykoo, do you make those assets you use in video yourself?
      If so what software do you use?

    • @igorvasiakgamedev
      @igorvasiakgamedev 7 лет назад +1

      +wols frosty Probably no. But that really depends on how much time do you have available and in how is your motivation. But, as Sykoo said in his video, don't hurry things up, start small and think big, and learn coding from RUclips, not from schools.

    • @Andrei-rp3dz
      @Andrei-rp3dz 7 лет назад

      Depends on what level you are at in terms of programming. If you already know another language, it's easy

      Thanks for the vid and sharing your experience. Always heard from programmers who went to school that they leave and..go online and learn some more lol so I feel like I would rather skip college if that's the case.
      I've been struggling deciding on whether I want to go to school or not. I don't want to be a freelancer or a programmer. I want to make my own websites and make my own games or put them on steam making the game entirely on my own. With exception of voice acting of course xd.

  • @John-shreds
    @John-shreds 6 лет назад +759

    Just do it. Thats my tip. What game do you want to make? Top down, puzzle, shooter... Download unity and start doing tutorials. Just youtube unity top down shooter, or whatever game you want to make. There will be a tutorial video on how to make it. Do not get overwhelmed by all of the information, just focus on what is being showed in the video. For instance, When you start actually coding, only think in steps. Ok now that i have a ground, I need my player to move So I need a script to add to my player object to move. Lets see how people usually do this task, and that video will show you. I did the roll a ball tutorial and made a pretty cool game. Just do it (lol).

      This is so true, don't get overwhelmed at the great depth of information on all topics when it comes to learning Game Development(especially the programming side). it's a very complicated path with much to learn. lol Just absorb it all and research the fuck out of everything.

      True man. Atm I'm learning 3d modeling, and will learn more to develop a game. And by making my first place, scene and atm making my own character model learning anatomy n shit bashing my head against the screen.
      It's a lot to learn. But just keep on and enjoy the ride.

    Game design student here (Senior Year). When Sykoo says program at home you HAVE to do it. The school only teaches you the most basic tools and you will not be able to do anything unless you also study and make things for yourself. I am in a Game Design program on the Art side. Recently had a class were Art and Programming come toguether and it was a mess, why? because most people don't look beyond what they were taught in class and they just made a mess coding in Unity. If you are going to go to school for game design don't be lazy, work at home as much as you can, this is an easy degree but just having the degree does not guarantee you a job

    • @theuberlord7402
      @theuberlord7402 7 лет назад +6

      yakza5 maybe the course you are taking does not go beyond advanced programming. I know that there are others that gradually progress, teaching you more astounding go, which I presume most good game dev courses do.

    • @MR3DDev
      @MR3DDev 7 лет назад +9

      I am not on the programming side so I don't know for sure. All I know is the programmers I was working with on that class were terrible why? because they only did the excercises from the class. Even if you are being taught advanced programming that does not mean you don't need to do your own stuff at home, same goes for game art.

      ​@Salman Khan So true. I mean, yeah, you can learn by only yourself many stuff but it's still not enough. University\college will give you some structured education. But when you learn everything from books and youtube you miss the structure. You don't really know how to start because there are so many books and methods and you don't know which are better. But your university knows because they are teaching people for many years and have to know this.

    • @aaronvalentinalferez2306

    on my college (Game Development) we learn coding in this order of languages:
    HTML+CSS
    PHP
    ActionScript3
    C#
    Java
    C
    C++
    at the same time we learn how to work in blender,Photoshop,ableton and illustrator to get an better understanding of Game Design
    so Game Developers and Game Artist's can work together and understand each other.
    Hope you like this information.

    • @UltraGameCoder
      @UltraGameCoder 6 лет назад +23

      we also work on projects from other companies to learn how to give presentations and work with deadlines.
      those projects can be:
      2d game in Unity
      3d game in Unity
      2d game in Animate/Flash
      when we work on such projects there are groups mixed with an even amount of artists and developers.

    • @UltraGameCoder

      also when we learn to use the coding language C we learn how to use electronics with an arduino. That's really fun!
      since I've learned how to use an arduino I've been ordering electronics and arduinos to create thinks at home like:
      my own GameController for unity.
      a door lock system with a 4x4 digit code and NFC sensor.
      a button to change my environment to a Gaming stste 😁 (Green light, turning on pc, closing door if open, turning on my monitors)

    I just decided to quit studying Sociology after 2 years of trying to convince myself that it was fun and interesting .. But honestly it was boring as hell and not my thing at all... I've always had a creative mind, i loved to draw and make stories, but my familiy wasn't very supportive of investing much time and money into making that my "living".. "Go for a proper and reliable education" i was told :p
    But i figured at long last that it ain't worth it :/ So I've decided to try to do something I find fun and interesting for once =) Game development seems really cool, and it's what i want to do now, or at least make a try at it.. Even tough I got no experience what so ever .. :I
    Wish me luck!
    Great video too, it looks like so much fun to do what you do!

      Stay focused and work hard every waking hour bro, until you have something going for yourself. Otherwise you will be just like one of us who thought leaving something you don't LOVE is step 1. It's actually step 0. Step 1 is planning extensively and working on it as best as you can.
      Not trying to discourage you or anything. Just making sure you don't forget about this part. Wish you lots of luck. :)

    I love that feeling of self teaching like when I made my first top down shooter and got the character to point towards the mouse without any tutorials was amazing and I was so happy and other stuff like that! So if you want to get into game development I’d recommend learning the basics and anything past that you should try to learn by experience because it gives you that feeling of accomplishment and when you do eventually have to figure something out that there are no tutorials for you will be able to figure out by yourself!

    I do not consider myself an incredible programmer but I'd like to give you guys a tip.
    Study Programming Logic, it's made my learning process and code development much more easier, some times you know the syntax and API but do not know how to use this knowledge to solve a problem.
    Anyways, thx Sykoo for your help... I mean a lot you tutorials are pretty great.

    Hey Sykoo, I'm new to your channel after finding a video of yours in my recommended yesterday and I instantly subscribed! I just want to ask if you would recommend learning level design or programming first at home (for background I am currently studying computer science, learning python, at high school)

    • @sykoo
      @sykoo  7 лет назад +2

      Hey there! Welcome to the channel, I hope you're enjoying your stay. :) Thank you for subscribing, it's appreciated.
      Interesting question, Keiron! It really depends on what you're willing to do. If you want to work in both fields (with designing and coding), then I suggest you go with level designing first. The reason I suggest you that before coding is because you'll learn the engine UI (user interface) easier. You'll be using the engine only, which will have you repeat some actions like creating a landscape/terrain, placing grass, placing houses, importing assets etc.
      But if you already know these simple tasks and features of your game engine, you could get into programming right away. However, once again, it really depends on what you actually want to work with. :)

    Man! Thank you! This is such a motivating video! What you are saying plus watching you working on those environments makes me want to start now! I've been a gamer most of my life. From the 70's till now I've seen a lot of games, and a lot of ideas have crossed my mind. I remember making games with my dad using Basic on our Commodore 64, and working on Apple IIe games at highschool in the 80's. I should have invested myself fully then and made it my career but I went down other paths and became creative in other ways. I've been feeling the need to look into other career paths and this might just be the direction I need. I might even start a game in Dreams to get the feel for it before starting in Unity... Thanks again for the encouragement man. Keep up the awesome work!

I found this really helpful because I still have time to think about a job and I'm thinking about game development and this showed me that I don't need to go to college to start programming like I thought I was supposed to.

    Hey so I want to get into game development for a living and I'm planning on going to college for it but i want to learn at least the basics before i go there so I'm not a total dead weight. so I want to ask which is better. Unity or Unreal. That way I can get a base to start on.
    Also i don't even really know what I want to go for in video game development and for the people who are on the artsy side and the general programming side i want to ask what's it like, what are some pros and cons. There are so many questions i have and i don't even know how to articulate my words to ask them.

      Both are great for different games. Godot is another engine you should consider. I would advise starting with unity and I encourage you to make your own research and find out which engine works for you.

    Hey! I have a question and wonder how do I make the trees respawn after 5-7 minutes after I've chop them down?

    • @smallfryentertainment3438
      @smallfryentertainment3438 7 лет назад +6

      If you're using Unity you have a few options. If you want your trees to simply pop back after 5 minuets you would be able to use a simple IEnumerator. Have it wait for 5 minuets (300 seconds(IEnumerator uses seconds)) and have it either reset the tree or spawn a new one. If you want your tree to gradually grow back you could easily create a simple 5-7 minute animation of your tree growing and have it play after you chop it down. If you want more detail the Unity scripting API is very useful as well as the Unity Answers forum. Hope I helped! =)

    • @ZevenDot3
      @ZevenDot3 7 лет назад

      SmallFry Entertainment Thanks! So this is the script i will put in my tree folder? using UnityEngine;

      IEnumerator Start() {
      StartCoroutine("DoSomething", 2.0F);
      yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
      StopCoroutine("DoSomething");
      }
      IEnumerator DoSomething(float someParameter) {
      while (true) {
      print("DoSomething Loop");
      yield return null;
      }
      }
      }

    • @smallfryentertainment3438
      @smallfryentertainment3438 7 лет назад +1

      No, You would need to do something along the line of:
      void Update () {
      if (Something)
      {
      StartCorutine(GrowTrees());
      }
      }
      IEnumerator GrowTrees () {
      Do Something;
      }

    • @Fly0High
      @Fly0High 7 лет назад

      Yeah, I get into that feeling... Don't really know what to program and aim for. Sometimes I have certain ambitious ideas that I know I don't have the skill for yet but I guess it's like designing, the first times you're always going to be copying someone else's work. Maybe that's it. Find a scene you like and try to replicate it.

    • @LittleRainGames
      @LittleRainGames 7 лет назад

      FlyHigh well what kind of stuff do you guys want to learn? don't worry too too much about which languahe to use. all programming is basically the same, and once you learn one language you will be able to switch to another much easier then it took to learn the first one. all you will need to learn then is just mostly syntax and then whichever APIs you are going to be using.
      but if you have a specific thing you want to do, just research what's best for what. most games are made with c++ or java. unity was made in c++ but it has a high level api in c#. alot of people who are doing machine learning are using python but it's not restricted to that. if you plan to 3d model, programs like 3ds max have max script, which is just a python API.

    • @LittleRainGames
      @LittleRainGames 7 лет назад +2

      FlyHigh once you get started learning, ideas will just start flowing, and I don't necessarily mean copy someone's unity scene, look at features in games and what you want to be able to do. You probably will rarely be doing this, but if you get stuck it's worth a try.

    • @Fly0High

      because it's easy to sell but hard to actually make. it's easy to sell to people that a supplement alone will get someone shredded until they find out that in reality it's much harder than that. Coding by itself is easy, it's solving problems that's the hard part. Especially making games is very complex.

It also feels so rewarding when you code something in a different way than what the tutorial suggest and it still works the exact same way. I apologies for the long comment, I just wanted to get that thought out.
