This kid is doing what I would've loved to do when I was his age. But unity etc. Didn't exist, and I never found a programming tutorial/course that made me really get how to do it. The game itself seems to be GTA with only free roaming in vehicles though.
Nice of the guy to make the deal and offer. Just terrible from both a gaming and business perspective, but a splendid show of kindness and support irregardless.
IDK about incredible. It's not the piano and as far as coding goes, nothing in his presentation showed that he really did anything. If he had designed the graphics, I would say wow. If he showed us an app he wrote, or more than a buggy car hitting a wall powered by spaghetti code and probably not even that because the development engine he used did most of the heavy lifting, I'm sure. A 5yo girl playing the drums better than most professionals is incredible. Yeah this kid is cool n all but ordinary. People telling him hes incredible all the time while he grows may prove to be detrimental. Right now hes encouraged but he needs a reality check and a mentor. Nothing worse than arrogant kids who think they are smart. They end up stunted because of that, they never feel the need to progress and waste all they time with the new friends they gained from popularity which could be encuragment too. Like I said, lots of guidance because I think he will be incredible one day. I stress all this because people like that kid and allot of kids who have allot to be also have allot to screw up and allot of ways to go insane. Kid is basically bi-lingual. I'm glad he didn' t get an "investment", he can stay humble and maybe learn to make his own 3D models. It makes me upset to see tech people pay money for things they should be able to do themselves. Anyway, good luck to him and I hope he never looses his passion.
Any developer would definitely prefer having a manager who actually knows how to code, though, rather than one who thinks all management is the same and that it will work if the engineers say they need a year and you tell them they have 3 months. At least a manager who knows how to code will know things like what should be hard, what should be easy, and what is even possible. I am a bit surprised that he was able to educate himself up to the point of being able to create the prototype game without completely falling head-over-heels in love with the skill... but hey, different strokes for different folks. I fell in love with it when I was younger than him, and no kid is making a mistake if they're moving in this direction generally. He also sounded not entirely wedded to games, and open to working on other IT products in the future, so that's a big plus. The only thing bigger and hotter than the games market is everything outside of games. Software controls the world, and that's not changing any time soon.
He lost you because he is ambitious? Fair play to the kid. At his age all I wanted to do was cause mischief, play on my PS3 and waste away. If you asked me what I dreamed of being when I was his age I'd have just said mafia hitman. He's a precocious young lad and I am impressed by him. He has more technical skills than me and I'm 25 in two months.
This is a fucking joke compared to USA and Australia shark tank. Those graphics are what we had in the US in 1995 lol. Don't get me wrong, it's amazing that a 13yr old did this, but this is not a fucking money maker. Are people in Ireland using these types of graphics?? This is finely just sad lol
Wow this boy did a better pitch than most adults. Well done to him
Thunder sharp mind, the boy is amazing
The slight lisp and the accent ..I love this kid. Ok, obviously I'm not from Ireland but this kid is A+++!
have we rant out of episodes? looking around its only 64 episodes total
I've spent over nineTEEN years saying: Gee, I should teach myself coding.
Go get 'em DOK!!
This is why Ireland is the second biggest tech country on Earth...
*Runs away*
well done , amazing talent ,goodluck you have all the makings of a entrepreneur ,you will succeed ....
He did really well. I'm impressed.
He played through some of the Need For Speed franchise and thought to himself 'What would happen if I get rid of the Need For?'
What this really should teach is a lesson to the dragons themselves… be this polite to all the people coming on, not just the young ones
what is the deal with this "Bursary", there seems to be alot of these pitches on DD: Ireland, you dont see the same in other Dens (or Tanks)
Yeah, this sucks now! I used to watch dragens den and this one and shark tank and now this one is all kids?
What the hell... bummer really.:(
Dragons Den started it first, but yh Ireland does it more
I was just giggling at how cute this kid is
Superb young man
This is my first time watching DD Ireland what does it mean by bursary? Is it the deal asked for or something else I'm so confused
Amazing little man. As he gets older he will get better. An investment in him now might pay off more in ten years
I think Ramona fancies him.
Great young fella, anyone know how he went on?
Did they abandon the channel?
pretty impressive for a 13 year old to present plus gathering resources to build a game like that on unity. This kid could do well.

Unity was made in 2005 although there were a few tutorials but that’s it.
there were so many game engines back then lol
He's a robot

4fps
im sorry but if he wasnt a kid he would get laughed out of the door what an awful shite business
Aye
Incredible kid wow

The kid lost me when he said his goal was to be a manager rather than a developer.

Boy he got that millionaire on the piano and coding. Bet that old man was butt hurt over being shown up
😊great

The episode is almos 10 years old
Whats a bursary? And wow there is like no comments on this video, incredible....
....ly sad
A bursary is a grant from the government usually I think. Basically free money
@@rachel_mck Hopefully it's saved for school.
@@rachel_mck if a short guy becomes a multi-millionaire, his height will be less offensive and repulsive to women.
@@Mogamishu you can't buy attraction, they will not have genuine attraction for a short man. Only pity sex
He is the future Elon Musk!
Dont think so lad
What a bollocks comment.
that is a very young age to start programming to put these things together. he should do very well.
nerd
Moron but yes
