Make sure to SMASH that subscribe button for games, wings, and better special effects than The Last Airbender movie! What special effects do you want to see next?
Lets create a game that others can merely dream_of😎.
Keep it up 👍
Little brother’s love from India🇮🇳
Need tutorials for game development using unity bro......
Need basic programming video for using c#
Yo man are you in Los Angeles ?
@@Coneelfrancis I had someone draw it for me for my upcoming game :). The scene is of one of the climaxes of the first part of the story
@@Coneelfrancis You can download it on my discord if you'd like =) discord.gg/cXyvjH9sZY.
Still early but lots of good stuff coming soon!
I'm glad you didn't show yourself eating salads and drinking Starbucks 90% of the time, but actually showed your work. Great content, subbed!
Hahaha thanks! I've seen a few of the Starbucks and salads "Day in the Life"'s floating around
😂, got a lot more great stuff coming!
Lmfao 🤣
@@SherrieE196 Merry Christmas, Christina!
@@swallowedinthesea11 Merry Christmas to you as well ! :)
@@SherrieE196 Thank you!
Working on your job, working on your own dreams,managing a RUclips channel and spending time with the family. Mad Respect Bro. Definitely got my sub
Appreciate that =) got another crazy vid for ya'll tomorrow!
Sorry to say, but this guy lives like a frat boy. Your bar for respect is pretty low.
@@renamons614 lets see how you live and the type of work you do and the code you write. who knows you might earn my respect as well :)
@@renamons614 Stop the negativity!
He’s a smart man! Now many who watch the video will check out his game. He’s marketing on top of everything you said, he’s going places
Found the channel today through Reddit. Admirable to see people who do full time work and find discipline and will to work on something else like a game on the side. Also: "How can I horizontally center a div" is a classic, haha.
Haha those horizontal divs always get ya!
use a parent flex container with flex direction column and justify content center
@@vivarantx Or you can just use align items center without flex direction
dude it's amazing how much you were able to balance so many things in your daily life I envy it!
Thank you =) Many more videos to come!
This dude has a dream setup..... but then a family reunion lawn chair. That's the definition of I can do what I want.
Haha not to mention the 12 dollar mouse and keyboard from target
@@AvatarNickGames if it gets the job done and you are happy with it why not :)
@@AvatarNickGames I mean target has pretty good mice
@@vashstampede8523 💯💯
I had dumped 2 expensive gaming chairs for a 20$ function chair. Productivity through the roof. Gaming chairs felt too comfortable to the point of just me wanting to chill in them.
Love seeing people do what they really enjoyed doing. Thumbs up.
Looks like this channel has been blessed by the algorithm, God speed my friend
As a independent game developer and game tester
I approve this video
No over polished, the real Hard Life :D i like it, subbed and greetings from Germany.
Thank you! Welcome aboard, I've got a lot of awesome stuff coming =)
This is one of my favorite all time videos! I am also a Game Developer so this makes me so happy. I love the chips in the sandwich and I also love wings! Your game looks amazing Nick! Thank you for this video the music sets the perfect atmosphere :)
:) thank you
That was a lot of hard work. Subscribed!
Thanks! I've got a lot of great stuff coming!
That's awesome man, I wish you the best of luck for your games, Im still young but I really wanna be a game designer when I'll be older, so watching that kind of videos gives me more hope to achieve what I want.
You can accomplish anything you put your mind too! It's going to be difficult and challenging, but it's incredibly rewarding in the end =)
your room seems like such a vibe spot
This was super refreshing to watch, thanks for this. I work in retail and I’m currently working on a fighter and I recently got all 6 of my characters working!
I’m glad game dev is just fun for you! Cheers!
Keeping pushing man!! I hope the best for your game devolpment!
Ah yes, relaxing and satisfying content from a simple man. Absolutely love it. Ofc subbed.
Thank you :)
Glad to see a realistic life of an solo indie dev. Thank you for making this video. 💯🥰
I subscribed for the reason you showed reality in entertainment manner,.
I love it ♥️
Glad you enjoyed it :) I've got a lot more stuff for yall coming very soon!
Thank you for this video I'm making a essay on game designers and this helped so much!

You are very good with it.
Amazing!!!
I'm from Brazil.
I'm here understand life of games developer.
Thanks for the content!!!
Way to go Nicholas ... so Proud of You! Keep reaching for the stars 🌟 😘
Watched Avatar TLA as a “farewell to Netflix” then IMMEDIATELY watched it again. The only other animation that gets this love is Transformers Prime. Thanks for this great “A day in the life…” vid.
loved this, thanks for showing the real thing
New to this lifestyle, and trying to learn as much as I can so I very much appreciate this
To me computers are just a miracle .. Who came up with the idea of shooting electricity through some plates and then we suddenly can play complex games with people from across the world in real time?! .. It's just pure magic
Hard working man ! respect
Wow... You are amazingly dedicated and focused
Thank you :)
Awesome video bro, would love to see more daily vlog type videos like this, subscribed 👍🏽
Thanks! Absolutely id love to do more of these types of videos, let me know if you have any suggestions!
Once again amazing stuff. I’m proud and confident to say that I’m here before you blow up! Well edited, well paced, and well shot (even with a meh camera). I know you’re going to succeed. Keep at it.
Haha gotta love that cell phone camera! Thanks for all your help, gotta keep pushing =)
Hahah the life of any developer (especially in these days working from home): typing and eating. Love the disposable plates too so no clean up necessary lol
i suggest you lower the background music when you talk.
I remember when this video had like 100 views now it has 76k views just wow!!!! I remember when your channel had 770 subscribers now over 5k... Good job man and keep up the good work!
A lot has changed haha, lots of great stuff coming soon as well!
That character illustration is amazing bro if you add more texture to the grasss it would look even crazier.
This only shows you staring at a screen 30sec, then tons of material where and what you eat :/ would have been nice if you explained what you are actually doing and working on
Putting chips on sandwiches? Absolutely the best! Great video Nick!
Gotta love chips on sandwiches! Thank you!
Can you help me?
When making tracking to transfer patches to the Windows folder, an error message appears to me. Do I have to do anything before transferring the patches?
Hey dude..I am an Indian game programmer and I know how hard this work is...BTW..good luck for your games..❤
Yeah you wish
@@lraoasisbottle3052 say what?
@@hxh9472 Who asked
@@lraoasisbottle3052 why u so mean ?
Talk bout a productive day! Great video! Subscribed!
Gotta get a lot done! Glad you enjoyed it!
How can you code so much without burning out? @_@
Gotta keep going if I want to finish the game!
I love your monitor is way bigger then the TV 😂❤
you dont wonder how much I feel confortable as I looked at you surfing on stackoverflow lol Thank you!
Love the special effects!
This is my first time watching you and I already love you!!!!!!!!!
Welcome aboard! I've got more great stuff coming very soon :)
Wow this is so inspiring! keep it up :DD
I was gonna say “I hope this dude works out” and then boom you put on the gi
Begin a game music composer is truly great! But it must be so cool to be able to make games!! Nice video!
Thank you =)
@@AvatarNickGames you're welcome, have a great week!
Did you really just copy some CSS and then ask "What's a DIV???", lol! Love it!
I never comment on videos. However, this video is AMAZING. Great music! I'm a fresh out of college Computer Engineer. I also train Jiu Jitsu and Avatar is amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it! =D Haha BJJ is so much fun
Your music choice is very good. Usually music is entirely terrible, or only one track is good, the rest are terrible. All the tracks in this video is good, which is very exceptional.
amazing game it's looking great dude!
thanks for sharing this with us
YES FINNALY THE FIRST GAME DEV THAT SHOWED HE USES STACK OVERFLOW!!!!
Nothing beats a good ole stack overflow copy paste lol
Nice stuff and impressive that u combining your passion with the daily job... my question is : what do u use for multiplayer the new unity 2021 stuff (still under development) or some external package?
That will all be explain in the next video very soon ;)
what kind of code do you use to make games? I am in moblie application development in college and I really wanna make a video game :O
Nice video! Thanks for sharing :)
so like... do you cut your power supply off every night? or just your monitors? im super confused...
im impressed that he almost never looks at internet for his codes
bro that sofa look so goddamn comfy 2:39
Its the best! Haha
Hey nice video!! May I ask how many people working on the game and how much time did your team spend to launch? Thank u
This was really cool.. I often have wondered what a day in the life of a video game developer looked like. This was very inspirational and eye opening. 🤗
If it wasn’t for College, I’d be doing this type of things. Can’t wait for this lifestyle during break 😁
no way am rewatching it too now
i want to programm but how much i earn and my option is only coding pr i can also do game desining for big companies like nintendo?
Sir, what programming language do you use mostly?
Do you mind giving us a pipeline process video. When starting a new game, what comes first 1, 2, 3... the ABCs. Even if it's a powerpoint presentation?
can you make a really violent video game? those are fun. i think video game developers are amazing. you guys bring so much fun and enjoyment to people. thank you
At 6:53 Why do you turn off your monitors and then your PC instead of just turning off your PC and letting your monitors turn off by itself?
what app did you use to make the cool background in you game
You turn off the power switch on your power supply every night?
Can you share what programming language, skills, and etc you use for your job as a game developer? I'm really interested to learn more.
You are so cool! I Love this.❤️❤️❤️
So what happened to the game, was it ever published? It says on steam "Coming out soon" and "Note: Armies Of Ganivar is no longer available in the Steam Store." which are contradictory
I don’t know why RUclips suggested this but this video made me happy. Subscribed
=) Welcome aboard!
@@AvatarNickGames thanks Nick, apparently it’s been about a year since this video. How’s the game now?
love your setup but man the keyboard killed me
Knew it was Study town the second I saw those floors + squirrels. Maybe we’ll run into each other one day!
Ah we've moved to Hoboken since! But Stuytown was a great place!
heyo! fellow game developer here. this is almost exactly what i do on a day to day aswell. except i end my workday cursing technology and vowing to quit to go live in a forest... and then i just play games all night. i try gym, take walks and read often to b "hEaLtHy" here and there but most days ...make games, play games lol
Playing games seeps into my daily routine as well! 😅
How many tools you use to devlope the game?
When you have a black screen at 2:42 , you start explaining to an imaginary person and forgot to setup your mic lol
Great video, but just a little suggestion: Sometimes it is hard to hear you speak over the music, so maybe for your future videos you could adjust the audio levels :)
Cool..love the art style.
Thanks! I'm loving the art as well :)
Great video!
Hello, how mich per day you spent on compiter? My dream job is digitas game artist but i dont want to sacrifice my health
amazing video hope to learn more from you♥️. do you have any recommendations for pc setup and monitor? for a student who really want to pursue game development and will use that pc even after graduation
I personally really like a gaming PC if you can afford it, it helps so much by speeding up tasks that can add up in time
One question with the training for developing games. Do they teach the tools of cyber security and so fourth I mean it’s all the computer world so don’t you learn everything even coding and programming and hacking or something?
Just subbed ! Hey, im curious on your path of starting game dev. Were you self taught or did you go to school? Id love to see a video on your educational background. What you do is so cool and I appreciate your authenticity in this video and others ! Thank you
Those wings look better then the sandwich. I guess if you like what you do working constantly isnt as bad as it may seem.
Can you please tell us your journey of learning game development and what resources you used
I too want to be a game dev. Great vlog keep it up
Thank you! A lot more to come
How many hours do you usually work on the daily? Just a simple curious question
Woow the quality of the voice 💥💥
What should I learn first to be a game designer. Like do I have to learn code? Also what qualifications do I have to have?
Oooh, I have so many ideas for a game, but I really gotta get my 3d modeling skills down quick. Plus I don’t have the money for the right computer, that could handle all of the work I did. How would u program boss fights?
That's is nice Same but I owe one but can we talk
Nice!
What's the name of the software you used to make this?
Holy crap! Do you really turn off the PSU switch on top of just shutting down? If so, I'm impressed. I can't be bothered to do anything beyond put my system to sleep lol.
I actually do hahah, my friend who builds these computers said it would help it last longer so I just made it a habit. Haven't really looked into if its true though 😅
Im currently in a dilemma about what should i do after getting the degree, whether i should pursue it or go for BEng(CS) or should i drop the plan of studying abroad. Need your help sirrrr
no mechanical keyboard, you deserve my like
Haha love it! Some people have been trying to get me to get a mechanical key board, but I like my simple stuff
Such a productive day. Almost no time goes to waste. Keep it up!
Do you outsource game art?
How many hours are you working your game per week ?
