To everyone who has been so kindly following this series, Thank you so much for taking the time to be here and enjoy the show - I know some of these concepts probably sound extremely basic and simple, but I truly believe that more than any software, app, or computing tool, these are the most valuable skills I've learned in my life - These are the types of skills that can always be applied no matter what stage or place in life you find yourself in. The software, technology, and tools around you will always change. And, the most perfect solution today will become an outdated solution next year. But, what really matters is your ability to adapt, improve, and utilize whatever tools you find around you to the best of your ability. I hope this series was useful even in a small way in helping you find the courage to go for your dreams and tackle your goals step by step - As always, hope you have a Fantastic Day, and I'll see ya around - -RS
It's actually tied into a great practice many expirenced people suggeste: *Spam mini projects when you're just starting up, and make them as small as possible.* You'll have way easier time to understand your mistakes when the scope is tightly limited, and you'll quickly learn many of the concerns beforehand were completely irrelevant. "Didn't make a decision" is just as productive as "Decided to do nothing", a worst product is better than nothing at all, so...insert that Shia LaBeouf here.
Posted this on an earlier video, but it's relevant here, too: there's a balance to be struck between building your dream and acquiring the skills needed to get there. There's chopping a tree and there's sharpening your axe. Second-guessing whether you should start this seemingly unrelated project to get information or start on the dream project itself and risk wasting a lot of time on do-overs is one aspect of the fear of starting. How to get that balance? Eh, not so sure. Editing what you already have versus finishing, that's easy to balance: if you're making changes that are undoing changes you've made before, you're already too far. But how to balance sharpening versus chopping, that's a trickier one. The advice of doing lots of mini-projects kind of falls under that, but then you run into issues when your mini-projects don't let you gain the skills you actually need (for example: leaning towards quick low-poly when your project is complicated mid-poly.) The 'fear of the empty page' for writers can be compensated for with a lorem ipsum sample, but for artists? Maybe working from a good base, but then making the base and perfecting that becomes its own project and you're off in the weeds. Complicated matters, this. Best of luck to everyone dealing with it.
Great video, Royal. As a former girlfriend of mine once told me when I was kicking myself over what I felt to be a mistake on my part: "It's only a mistake if you fail to correct it. If you correct it, then it was just an error. You corrected it." Have a great day.
With programming, pretty much all the time, when I was unsure, doing some research and then just diving into it, and getting a first bad implementation done - then if necessary improve it later - was always a better approach than trying to approach it "optimally" when I wasn't even sure what that meant - leading to procrastination.
Heck ya! He speaks the true! Sadly it took me quite a while to learn it but once I learned it. I had a great time working with blender. so if you want to success in life, you HAVE to fail.
God I needed to hear this today. Like this past few vids have been so on point. As someone that’s made the dream actually feasible, thanks so much dude, really, I feel so much better about tackling 3d in the future.
Case in point regarding not starting because you think you are not using the best tools. During the last month publically available AI has boomed onto the scene and innovated at an unbelievable pace. People get frozen wondering if still using Blender, Maya, whatev's is worth continuing to learn or is it obsolete. People also wonder which AI system they should learn or which tool to leverage AI generated work into traditional programs... how? what? when? = paralysis. Your point is to just learn something and work on it instead of being idle and indecisive. Whatever you choose to learn will in some way translate skills into other tools. You rock.
This is pretty much where I'm at. I'm so focused on not making mistakes on my 3D journey that I just stopped practicing. Only to later scold myself for not improving over almost a year. It makes no sense when I think about it but it still happens a lot anyway, at random intervals when I should be practicing/creating.
I really agree with that. Being afraid of making mistakes stops you from doing anything and with this stops you from gaining experience. It took me 3 year to start working in game development because of this (could do it much faster). Also I was afraid to start my youtube channel becuase of low quality in comapare to other great youtubers. I'm currently in production of my first video and I'm letting be any mistake I'm making right now. I will use this knowladge in future videos (if I will make any more xd). It's acutally amazing to see this series and how you try make people aware of these basic things which can allow to successed not only in game development, YT or art but also in more other fields. Love you work ^^
I struggle with Fear of succeed actually XD Reason is: so much stuff comes with succeed(Become famous,less personal life because of famous, more money, but a lot more work since more money eks: taxes ,etc. and also fear of failure if succeed). a lot more to add but yeah :D and of course impostor syndrome XD nice way of thinking on failure on stuff, especially in coding game making art etc is that: failure is happy accident because you learn from it, and some times find new way of dong stuff/Short cut. its what i do when coding i try again and again in different ways until i get it working, then later i might make the code better :D i hope you continues this series, i still uses unity, but am getting tired with so much bugs with it, and so much time waiting when click play mode. in unity5 i think the play mode was more direct starting :D Love your work :D 2:55 F this i Go YOLO XD
They forget that in this type of industry its a CRAFTing skill . It is not a satisfaction guarantee until you make a mistake or miss out on something. You build the project ,revise, revise ,revise and use the resources that will be available to you. You don't have to be in the Hollywood or be in MMO Rpg company to be perfect. As an indie you can do it by yourself .
It also can be the fear of success and the unknown 👍 Fear of judgment 😐 U learn to crawl before u learn to walk and u learn to walk before u learn to run 🏃♀️
Sure, this is a natural and common feeling, and even the best artist still have these thoughts in their mind - Just remember, you don't have to be the best in order to be amazing. There's always a better artist out there, and that will always be true, it's not about being the best, it's about improving your own work, in your own way, at your own pace that works best for you - The phase you are in right now, is the natural prerequisite before your work gets to the level you see in other people's work -
Yes this is really true. My fear of not getting the job done what my client wants always kept me away from online art jobs. Recently i was able to get a one time gig and the client was very helpful too. All it took was a bit bravery. The main thing u need is self-confidence. And dont make everything from scratch. As someone once said "A good artist copy, A great artist steal"...but dont make it too obvious😉
Does anyone know what song he uses at the end of his videos? I've been interested in it but it's not in the descriptions and shazam doesnt pick it up lol
Sure, then, you need to scale your goals down into more smaller achievable targets until you can start to see progress between your abilities between the past and the future -
As I've heard said before, "Paint through the ugly." It'll look terrible, like an alien, even. But keep working at it. My problem lies is finding people to ask really niche questions to, ahahahahaha! :< "Will I be able to figure this out?" Often stops me, or makes me hesitant, but not forever.
mission fail .try better next time okay! and then -fail -fail- fail - -suc cess a! success? maybe luck try another one . see! it -fail try again . oh this good .maybe try one more . _yeah ! that it let take that

You're improving my life so much. Thanks for the great video series.

Bro you savagely attacked me; thank you man, not only you make amazing tutorials but also have good advice and integrity, we all love you.

It's like you're mirroring my entire life with this video series, wtf. It helped a ton, so a huuuuge thanks bruh!
Great video, Royal.
As a former girlfriend of mine once told me when I was kicking myself over what I felt to be a mistake on my part: "It's only a mistake if you fail to correct it. If you correct it, then it was just an error. You corrected it."
Have a great day.
am older but you taught a life lesson, not only to indie devs, this applies lifewide.
Thank you very much for your advice. Right now I'm at that point, stuck. I'll think of this video every time I feel like this and I'll keep going 😃

It is like Poker mistakes may happen but the longterm will show how you play
can't wait to have more of these videos between the upcoming series

This Outro song is super awesome keep it all the time♥️

I struggle with Fear of succeed actually XD
Reason is: so much stuff comes with succeed(Become famous,less personal life because of famous, more money, but a lot more work since more money eks: taxes ,etc.
and also fear of failure if succeed). a lot more to add but yeah :D and of course impostor syndrome XD
nice way of thinking on failure on stuff, especially in coding game making art etc is that: failure is happy accident because you learn from it, and some times find new way of dong stuff/Short cut. its what i do when coding i try again and again in different ways until i get it working, then later i might make the code better :D
i hope you continues this series, i still uses unity, but am getting tired with so much bugs with it, and so much time waiting when click play mode. in unity5 i think the play mode was more direct starting :D Love your work :D
2:55 F this i Go YOLO XD

Well, I can't call me young but I'm honestly in the cradle of fear of mistakes when it comes to drawing. But only when it comes to drawing ^^
Ty for linking the artists you scrolled through in the description
It also can be the fear of success and the unknown 👍
Fear of judgment 😐
U learn to crawl before u learn to walk and u learn to walk before u learn to run 🏃♀️
sir i wanna ask some advice about how to react when it brings out the feeling that other people's artwork looks better than our own?
Sure, this is a natural and common feeling, and even the best artist still have these thoughts in their mind -
Just remember, you don't have to be the best in order to be amazing. There's always a better artist out there, and that will always be true, it's not about being the best, it's about improving your own work, in your own way, at your own pace that works best for you - The phase you are in right now, is the natural prerequisite before your work gets to the level you see in other people's work -

Does anyone know what song he uses at the end of his videos? I've been interested in it but it's not in the descriptions and shazam doesnt pick it up lol
Sure thing man, it's called "Monkey Likes The Dance Floor from Armored Core"!
Thanks sir
Mr. Royal Skies, what if I'm already doing all of that, but don't have the talent and resources to be what I wanted to be?
google what is talent
Sure, then, you need to scale your goals down into more smaller achievable targets until you can start to see progress between your abilities between the past and the future -
What is the ending song of your videos?
Damn, this felt like you were personally talking to me... 😂😂
As I've heard said before, "Paint through the ugly." It'll look terrible, like an alien, even. But keep working at it.
My problem lies is finding people to ask really niche questions to, ahahahahaha! :< "Will I be able to figure this out?" Often stops me, or makes me hesitant, but not forever.
So true lmao😢😂
