My dev friend asked me to write story for his game. I'm so stoked. I've been dying to get into writing for games. We're working on an indie game now and this video is everything I need.

"The idea behind my second game popped into my head while I was doing dishes, and that became my new passion project after work." look at the depth in these two sentences. A man who works full time to support his family. Also does dishes. Gets a wonderful idea while doing dishes. And then goes on to transform that idea into a successful project while maintaining his main job, finding time after doing his full time job to work on his project and make the game bit by bit everyday while keeping his patience and calm. what a man! what a character!
I’m 35, and I love how, when I was in high school, it was thought of as impractical to become a game developer by most of our parents. I remember being convinced that "computer stuff is more of a hobby than something you can make a career out of." And many of us believed them and decided to go to school for something else. Years later, though, some of us have finally decided to take the leap and make a career change. For years, I’ve wanted to learn how to code, but I always thought I wasn’t smart enough to actually learn how, so I never even tried until the end of last year. Now, my only regret is that I didn’t start learning 20 years ago. But I’ve learned so much is this past year! Keep developing and creating great stories, my friend!
I'm gonna hit 31 this year. Been doing same numbing job for 7 years (cnc lathe operator) to provide for family. 4 weeks ago I finally took my first step towards learning to code and front end dev. I will not stop. I will keep at it slowly in my free time. Feel the same as you, regretting not starting much sooner. Goodspeed on your journey.

I have a friend who is thinking about creating an indie game, but kept doubting herself, she has a great idea and it sounds like a game I'd purchase. So when this popped up in my recommended I sent it to her, and I want to say thank you. Seeing your video really helped solidify her resolve and now she's working so hard to make her indie game dream a reality. Thank you so much for you, I'm really glad this popped up when my friend needed it most.

So inspiring. Im a teenager and still wondering if any of my decisions is not wrong. After watching this, i decided to "just do it" and put a hard work in everything i do.
I just found this video by accident, and after i watching it, some of me feels like its some kind of Unity ad for a sec there. But by the end of the video i felt kinda empty, im 25 now and i have nothing amazing in my life.. I always felt like that the sucssesfull people in the world are already rich or were born with some super talent wich i never had. So i lived my life like my perents told my too. going to school, than go to college and maybe make a small trip in the world before ill start my serious life of finding a serious work place and getting marrid and so on... and i actually was kindda fine with that, i honestly felt like there is no other choice,thats im to normal to be good at something that will change or amprove my life, but after watching this vedio it made me feel like i can make my dream come true, and that it might take much effort and tons of time since i dont really have any special talent but its possible.. but than i understood that i dont even have an actuall dream, all those years been living i was sure that im nothing special and i didnt even botherd thinking bout a real dream.. somthing that i really wish to do and become. And than the emptiness kicked me a littel, like i got a motivetion but no motive. But even in this video it looks like the guy also didnt knew that he can be a game developer, and didnt even consider it a dream. Im 25 now, and im just about start my normal life with a serious job and stuff... but after watching this it made me feel that i do have a dream and that i just need to find it out first, and after i will figur out what i wish to becoume and to do, ill chase it until ill make it done! There literely no porpose in life if you dont have a dream or a goal or something you want. I think everyone should find some dream to follow and not living from one day to another without any idea or thing that makes you wait for your free time just to start to work on that. People shouldnt be zombies, the should follow a porpose. And im sorry for my English..
Yep - 90% of his success is target and target practicing. But you need to watch at target itself - it is a bring people something. It's not just "do whatever you like". Some theory of Buddhism say this, you should check it out. I am not Buddhist and never will be, but it can explain something - remember, first university was in India. And for some people who just lost - religion can help you a lot, doesn't matter which one, all of them are same. I'm atheist btw.
You can do it mate. I believe you, it was never too late to start over.Hope you can make a video about your life journey in the future cant wait for your success.

Inspiring story man. You probably inspired a generation of kids , it was inspirational for me and im 41. The coding snobs will always try to stop you lol. Create on
My boss who is a game dev with over 20 years of experience (www.youtube.com/@SamuelAsherRivello profile link for anyone interested), says that if you have the inspiration and resilience to keep pushing, whether you know code originally or not will not stop you from achieving what you set out to do. So never give up!
Only people who can code can make PlayMaker. Node based langs will never replace syntactical ones as they can't represent some key stuff in very compact ways. Not saying its bad as not all minds can translate words into meaning as well BUT PlayMaker is for script kitties and many tasks need more than that. Its awesome stuff like that exists though so people use it as a tool and can express their ideas.
Im a programmer myself. And when I started programming I was just like you. I just didn't understand it. But if you begin very very simple (search for python beginner tutorial on RUclips) and if you don't give up, then eventually there comes one day where you suddenly understand it. And from that moment learning new languages becomes really easy. One more tip: code looks way more difficult than it actually is. Almost all of the words you see in code are just names for stuff that the programmer has made.
I started with learning JavaScript on free code camp in 2016 - I'm a tech lead for 15 developers today. I promise you that you can do it, you have to practice every single day and learn big concepts in programming like design patterns and performance. But first start small, practice everyday and then think about it even when you're not coding. Read articles on coding blogs until you start to understand them. And never forget that I still Google things dozens of times a day (especially with C# lol) - just because you know how to code doesn't mean you have all the answers, so get comfortable with uncertainty. Good luck!
Nah it sounds like he gave up on coding pretty quickly. Honestly I think this is more a case of playmaker being a crutch that prevents him from walking on his own. He's going to hit a wall at some point unless he only stick to making really basic games with simple systems. Sadly, he'll never listen because to him I'm just a "code snob," but that's his problem. Maybe it won't even matter for him because he's only really interested in making artsy games with lots of story telling.
It's because if you dont believe it, no one else will. There is no finite threshold you cross. Set goals for yourself and cross those finish lines. Don't wait for someone else to say you've done it.
Your story made me cry man... I am not able to see my child for years and when I saw your daughter hoping on your lap near the end while you successfully made an income and the dream job real, I just couldn't hold it anymore. You inspired me. I will start learning how to make a game from today, just to get my son back. Thanks for motivation.
The movie industry has existed for much more time than the game industry, looking at it by that perspective, and as a creative-oriented person myself, film school feels much more "safe" to go to. But I live in Brazil, here we don't have much academic exploration in dev school, and film school is a little bit more common, so maybe that's why I feel this way.
@@kookythymes2838 Maybe not in a traditional sense but he wanted to be an indie developer, which comes with a lot of risks and even with an amazing game if you dont know how to market no matter how good it is, it will flop. Steam has a bunch of hidden gems. I own over 200+ indie titles some of them with 100s of hours. Yet they only have a thousand or two thousand downloads tops. Which can be a decent amount of money but nothing you could live off of.
That's incredible. I palyed "home is wehere one starts" a long ago and found it just awesome stotyrelling wise. Didn't know it was you. Let me tell you, I am so happy with you. You made your dream come true just doing the right way, dedicating time to and commiting to it. Storytelling is an art, just keep going. And as for me, I think I am gonna buy "the first tree". Man, just thank.
I played through the first tree is one sitting and I cried so much at the end as a mom. Excellent ending my friend. I’m a regular dev but now also a subscriber. Thanks for sharing your story!
Dude are you me? Playing games and making mods as a child, going trough film school just to end up nowhere. I started making games with Unreal Engine couple of years ago. Cheers and good luck!
this is such a great video, it inspire me, i been struggling for years to find the right way on my creative path, your story show me it's a matter of will and comitment.
your smile after failing is the reason why i get inspired and start to become indie game dev (though i very bad at english and coding) but still stay positive
Hi. I recently started playing The First Tree by chance on Steam. I haven't played video games in years, recently I just play Minecraft with my 8 year old son. I loved The First Tree. Then I got to know your story and it was very inspiring. Thank you for your work.
My man.. I played and finished The First Tree with my kids. We loved it! I was also impressed you did all this while working a full time job. I’ve been there. I built my entire freelance business and learned graphic design/digital marketing between the hours of 8pm-midnight, almost every night. Love your story. Inspiring!
Thank you. Myself, I am slowly building my first game through unity, but I really find it difficult to find the balance with family and work. Your video is very inspiring. Please keep doing what you are doing.
Here's my solution. Decide to need less. There are so many things we don't need, so I just let go and not want. That way, you can have more time and work less. If that makes sense.
This is absolutely beautiful! I'm in my early 30's. When I was growing up in the 90's and early 2000's, my parents had limited me to no more than 30 minutes at the computer per day. I was obsessed with web development which wasn't very sophisticated back then. But I used my time wisely to create a gaming site full of cheats, hints, and walk-throughs. I sold my first site at age 13 to a well-known gaming company for five figures and that took over my world. My parents all but forbid me to pursue computer science in college so I ended up studying civil engineering. I quit and became a janitor for three years using all my spare time to writing code and learning. Eventually, I landed a job as a SQL developer with front end responsibilities (weird job) -> data engineer -> full stack developer -> and now work as a consultant. Learning a trade on the computer is absolutely life changing. Whether its learning how to make games as you have, photoshop, SEO, writing code, etc. There are so many possibilities out there. It saved my life by giving me purpose and allowing me to pay off my student debts and just recently I bought my first house and providing for my family. To anyone out there - keep grinding and stay humble. Good things will happen!

Literally nothing I said here was made more dramatic, I actually toned it down. Again, I am just some dude on the interwebs but I cannot emphasize enough how much software development has changed my life and hate to sound cliche but it's also one of those "if I can do it then you can too" things because I am not that smart, nor a very fast learner.

I feel so inspired right now, making games is my dream, sometimes I feel like I'm stuck at school, like I can't improve, but this kind of videos makes me wanna keep working hard to achieve it. I live in Mexico, life here is so hard, I have to work so I can pay for my career, sometimes I feel tired and want to throw everything away, but I know I gotta keep going ahead. Thank you so much for this video and for making me realize I never have to give up.
The power of a finished project is something I only started realizing some time ago. For years, I've tried to learn all sorts of things. From coding to drawing, from 3D modeling to knitting, from origami to algorithmic trading... And I don't regret doing any of the above...I just regret one thing. Often, I'd shy away from a particularly complicated part, thinking it was too complicated for me, which resulted in leaving that project there...in the middle of nowhere. Lately though, I've stopped sitting for hours and trying to pull out every sucky part of a project that could use improvement. Shutting the laptop for a short while and doing something else has helped me not think so much. And once I'm back after a cup of tea or an hour of Don't Starve, I start fresh. A new project. And over time, these projects add up. Sure, the number of sucky things that need improvement also increase, but so do the awesome things you ended up making! This comment is a way to remind my brain that it's okay to make sucky stuff as long as you are learning something new. Keep working! And one day, you'll have an entire city to look at, a city of YOUR work that YOU created! :)
David, your story is so inspirational to me. I don't plan to become a game developer, but you inspire me to work harder on my other projects and I can't thank you enough for that
I'm starting my journey. I'm in my pre-planning phase and this video makes me cry everytime I watch it. I don't know why but I feel extremely passionate about making games solo and this video inspires me beyond what anything in my life has. Thank you for telling your story. Honestly. Thank you. When I release this game I want you to see it. ❤️
havent had that feeling in my throath being closed by emotions like this in a while from a youtube video.. im really happy for you and the people surrounded by you that you never gave up on your dreams this really gives me motiviation to keep going myself. much love and respect to you
Just found out that The First Tree is in the switch store. I have to say is one of the most beautiful and moving stories I have ever played. Your story is very inspiring, I hope you keep making games and uploading videos about your journey.
I don't think it's that far fetched to do what he did. Not to take away from his accomplishment, but I think he's trying to speak to normal everyday people and to get them thinking about the future and the possibilities. But that's my view, I could be wrong.
bruh did you even watched this video? He said there are easy ways to make great games for everyone D; He really ist just a normal guy, no genius or something. And all he does is very basic
I actually thought this might turn into an inspirational story about a non technical person learning to code, but it's a story about a non-technical person spending money to try and avoid coding.
I’m 15 years old, and my dream job is being an indie game developer. Now I’m not the greatest at math and no nothing about coding, I’ve done a little 3D modeling in Minecraft and that’s it. This video has given me so much hope that my dream may one day become a reality. Thanks for sharing your story man!

Just Two Words: Truely WOW! This guy converted his skills to profession. And everything in this video we can explore what he learned from life. He used his great film making to produce this masterpiece, and his great lust for learning to design that lovely game. Such a Motivation.

This video has always been in my recommendations and I've avoided it like a plague thinking it will just involve a ton of codes that I will never understand. So here I am, finally fought to urge to click away and I found myself teary eyed the whole time watching this video. Thanks to this video, my motivation to be a better storyteller is renewed once again! ♥
I'm 28 wanting to start coding simple games, but with complex character progression and interaction with other players. Your story actually brought a tear to my eye. This is super inspirational and made me download unity, I started learning c++
Your story is so inspiring and actually reminds me I'm at an early stage in the same story, so thanks for the reminder to keep going. Also, it's so clear to see that your film education still comes naturally, the video was so well edited! Best of luck with your future games, I can't wait to see what you produce next.
You made me feel motivated and emotional when I watched the video, it makes me want to cry with happiness, I'm very happy for you dude, really. Your story makes me feel hopeful.
Just that footage of tryna shred that rail made me hit subscribe... That hit home, so much nostalgia. All the good times w the boys skateboarding and bmxing soo long ago. Time flies, man 😭
So inspiring, I have kinda the same story. I started making mods for Unreal Tournament 3 when I was 14-15, now I'm 22 and I'm just trying to make my own finished products. Since I'm a 3d artist I'm still learning a lot of Unreal Engine 4 visual scripting/blueprints and I don't think I'm going to be able to finish a full game for a long time but I think I still got plenty of time to make something good.
This story hits home for me a lot. Since I was a kid I dreamed of making my own games. I really went through it in highschool and had a hard time actually enjoying anything but video games. The video games provided me with another world to escape to, and that world gave me inspirations to become the person I am now (love games with good moral messages no matter how corny). When I was 21 I had an opportunity to take 2 months to train (unpaid until after it was over) to learn a new industry, and in July of 2017 got my first decent job at a consulting firm working closely with snooty architects and engineers drawing up plans. During this training, we quickly glossed over unity for work related reasons and it sort of stuck with me, but I didn’t know any code and that held me back. I worked myself sick sometimes, commuting 6 hours total a day for an 8 hour job just to get out of my garbage little town. Now, almost 4 years later I am finally in the process of learning unreal engine blueprints and developing the idea for my first game, and I haven’t been so excited in forever. If I make a working game that’s anything remotely close to my vision, it’s a success for me. Love the channel, definitely inspiration porn for upcoming game developers.
Just found your channel.....and I wanna say a few things 1. This right here was more inspirational than most anything ive ever seen. Not gonna lie, Im a 40 yr old father of 3 and this brought tears to my eyes. 2. As someone that just started on UE5 and learning game dev all by myself without a coding background as well, THIS is what I needed to see. You sir....thank you!
The fact that you got the idea for the game while doing dishes reminds me that I should really write down the random stories that sometimes pop into my head.
@@jonny__b For me coming up with ideas is the hardest part of any project, once I start working it goes pretty smooth. But I guess that's different for other people.
Иван Абуховский Same with UE, a management nightmare. Try to pass such a project to a another visual code “dev”. Every such dev has his own way of managing the structure of the app. And the structure becomes very overwhelming in a very short time, meaning, the “code” complexity increases in a geometrical progression.
@@maxsolo2652 Does visual code at least show you the written code too? Like couldn't it be a good way to learn basic-intermediate code? I've "tried" learning code a couple times, but after 5 hours of watching boring ass youtube tutorials said, "fuck it".
Meth_Busters No, visual code does not show you the actual code. It is translated internally into code, when the game is run or built. Check out a basic visual code tutorial, it might be something that would work for you. If you don’t get enthusiastic about coding after your first “Hello world”, then the actual code-programming is not for you.
Honestly your experience creating mods was extremely useful. I would consider that to be actual game dev experience. Although there wasn't any code involved, you actually were doing the design process of game developing (which for me, starting off as purely a coder, is the hard part of game design).
Hey this is exactly what I went through. I never thought gaming would actually get easier and more powerful, so I went into film and now I'm circling back.

I have a friend who is thinking about creating an indie game, but kept doubting herself, she has a great idea and it sounds like a game I'd purchase. So when this popped up in my recommended I sent it to her, and I want to say thank you. Seeing your video really helped solidify her resolve and now she's working so hard to make her indie game dream a reality. Thank you so much for you, I'm really glad this popped up when my friend needed it most.
Update?
please? :P
pleaseeeeee?
So, how's your friends game coming alone? 😀
I love how you stuck to your responsibilities while still going after your dream - freaking inspiring man

I still remember those days when people used to say is not possible one person could make a videogame. Congratulations for your effort and talent!
when were those days? most early video games were actually made by a single person
If only you were born in the 70s/80s, when 90% of the games came out from students coding in their bedrooms, and 1-3 people teams making games that started massive franchises
It was the 90s & 2000 when game development became very difficult, those were the days you needed an army, now its easier again :)

I just found this video by accident, and after i watching it, some of me feels like its some kind of Unity ad for a sec there. But by the end of the video i felt kinda empty, im 25 now and i have nothing amazing in my life.. I always felt like that the sucssesfull people in the world are already rich or were born with some super talent wich i never had. So i lived my life like my perents told my too. going to school, than go to college and maybe make a small trip in the world before ill start my serious life of finding a serious work place and getting marrid and so on... and i actually was kindda fine with that, i honestly felt like there is no other choice,thats im to normal to be good at something that will change or amprove my life, but after watching this vedio it made me feel like i can make my dream come true, and that it might take much effort and tons of time since i dont really have any special talent but its possible.. but than i understood that i dont even have an actuall dream, all those years been living i was sure that im nothing special and i didnt even botherd thinking
bout a real dream.. somthing that i really wish to do and become. And than the emptiness kicked me a littel, like i got a motivetion but no motive. But even in this video it looks like the guy also didnt knew that he can be a game developer, and didnt even consider it a dream.
Im 25 now, and im just about start my normal life with a serious job and stuff... but after watching this it made me feel that i do have a dream and that i just need to find it out first, and after i will figur out what i wish to becoume and to do, ill chase it until ill make it done!
There literely no porpose in life if you dont have a dream or a goal or something you want.
I think everyone should find some dream to follow and not living from one day to another without any idea or thing that makes you wait for your free time just to start to work on that.
People shouldnt be zombies, the should follow a porpose.
And im sorry for my English..
Yep - 90% of his success is target and target practicing. But you need to watch at target itself - it is a bring people something. It's not just "do whatever you like".

And for some people who just lost - religion can help you a lot, doesn't matter which one, all of them are same. I'm atheist btw.

😂😂😂😂
Inspiring story man. You probably inspired a generation of kids , it was inspirational for me and im 41. The coding snobs will always try to stop you lol. Create on
My boss who is a game dev with over 20 years of experience (www.youtube.com/@SamuelAsherRivello profile link for anyone interested), says that if you have the inspiration and resilience to keep pushing, whether you know code originally or not will not stop you from achieving what you set out to do. So never give up!
Thing is, he outsourced the coding. Idk why he doesn't mention it in this video
Hearing him say that he still can't code worries me about my future in coding...
Only people who can code can make PlayMaker. Node based langs will never replace syntactical ones as they can't represent some key stuff in very compact ways.
Not saying its bad as not all minds can translate words into meaning as well BUT PlayMaker is for script kitties and many tasks need more than that.
Its awesome stuff like that exists though so people use it as a tool and can express their ideas.
Im a programmer myself. And when I started programming I was just like you. I just didn't understand it. But if you begin very very simple (search for python beginner tutorial on RUclips) and if you don't give up, then eventually there comes one day where you suddenly understand it. And from that moment learning new languages becomes really easy. One more tip: code looks way more difficult than it actually is. Almost all of the words you see in code are just names for stuff that the programmer has made.
I started with learning JavaScript on free code camp in 2016 - I'm a tech lead for 15 developers today. I promise you that you can do it, you have to practice every single day and learn big concepts in programming like design patterns and performance. But first start small, practice everyday and then think about it even when you're not coding. Read articles on coding blogs until you start to understand them. And never forget that I still Google things dozens of times a day (especially with C# lol) - just because you know how to code doesn't mean you have all the answers, so get comfortable with uncertainty. Good luck!
Nah it sounds like he gave up on coding pretty quickly. Honestly I think this is more a case of playmaker being a crutch that prevents him from walking on his own. He's going to hit a wall at some point unless he only stick to making really basic games with simple systems. Sadly, he'll never listen because to him I'm just a "code snob," but that's his problem. Maybe it won't even matter for him because he's only really interested in making artsy games with lots of story telling.
It's because if you dont believe it, no one else will. There is no finite threshold you cross. Set goals for yourself and cross those finish lines. Don't wait for someone else to say you've done it.
He had the key all along, a deep passion for games and story telling.
I almost cried. That was a beautiful story, and I'm so happy for this man.
Your story made me cry man... I am not able to see my child for years and when I saw your daughter hoping on your lap near the end while you successfully made an income and the dream job real, I just couldn't hold it anymore. You inspired me. I will start learning how to make a game from today, just to get my son back. Thanks for motivation.
"I went into film making, which felt like a safer option..."
LOL
LMFAO. Idk which is safer tbh
yea lol, there doesn't seem to be anything unsafe about wanting to be a game developer in 2020. Seems to have an influx of jobs
The movie industry has existed for much more time than the game industry, looking at it by that perspective, and as a creative-oriented person myself, film school feels much more "safe" to go to.
But I live in Brazil, here we don't have much academic exploration in dev school, and film school is a little bit more common, so maybe that's why I feel this way.
@@kookythymes2838 Maybe not in a traditional sense but he wanted to be an indie developer, which comes with a lot of risks and even with an amazing game if you dont know how to market no matter how good it is, it will flop. Steam has a bunch of hidden gems. I own over 200+ indie titles some of them with 100s of hours. Yet they only have a thousand or two thousand downloads tops. Which can be a decent amount of money but nothing you could live off of.

Hi. I recently started playing The First Tree by chance on Steam. I haven't played video games in years, recently I just play Minecraft with my 8 year old son. I loved The First Tree. Then I got to know your story and it was very inspiring. Thank you for your work.
My man.. I played and finished The First Tree with my kids. We loved it! I was also impressed you did all this while working a full time job. I’ve been there. I built my entire freelance business and learned graphic design/digital marketing between the hours of 8pm-midnight, almost every night. Love your story. Inspiring!
Thank you. Myself, I am slowly building my first game through unity, but I really find it difficult to find the balance with family and work. Your video is very inspiring. Please keep doing what you are doing.
Matthew Hearson ya true man, like someone has to hack a day to be more like 26 hour instead of 24 lol
Here's my solution. Decide to need less. There are so many things we don't need, so I just let go and not want. That way, you can have more time and work less. If that makes sense.
This is absolutely beautiful! I'm in my early 30's. When I was growing up in the 90's and early 2000's, my parents had limited me to no more than 30 minutes at the computer per day. I was obsessed with web development which wasn't very sophisticated back then. But I used my time wisely to create a gaming site full of cheats, hints, and walk-throughs. I sold my first site at age 13 to a well-known gaming company for five figures and that took over my world.
My parents all but forbid me to pursue computer science in college so I ended up studying civil engineering. I quit and became a janitor for three years using all my spare time to writing code and learning. Eventually, I landed a job as a SQL developer with front end responsibilities (weird job) -> data engineer -> full stack developer -> and now work as a consultant. Learning a trade on the computer is absolutely life changing. Whether its learning how to make games as you have, photoshop, SEO, writing code, etc. There are so many possibilities out there. It saved my life by giving me purpose and allowing me to pay off my student debts and just recently I bought my first house and providing for my family.
To anyone out there - keep grinding and stay humble. Good things will happen!

"Retroceder nunca , rendirse jamás" 😁 ... Que todas tus metas se cumplan amigo ! 👍
The power of a finished project is something I only started realizing some time ago.
For years, I've tried to learn all sorts of things. From coding to drawing, from 3D modeling to knitting, from origami to algorithmic trading...
And I don't regret doing any of the above...I just regret one thing.
Often, I'd shy away from a particularly complicated part, thinking it was too complicated for me, which resulted in leaving that project there...in the middle of nowhere.
Lately though, I've stopped sitting for hours and trying to pull out every sucky part of a project that could use improvement.
Shutting the laptop for a short while and doing something else has helped me not think so much.
And once I'm back after a cup of tea or an hour of Don't Starve, I start fresh. A new project.
And over time, these projects add up.
Sure, the number of sucky things that need improvement also increase, but so do the awesome things you ended up making!
This comment is a way to remind my brain that it's okay to make sucky stuff as long as you are learning something new.
Keep working! And one day, you'll have an entire city to look at, a city of YOUR work that YOU created! :)

Just that footage of tryna shred that rail made me hit subscribe... That hit home, so much nostalgia. All the good times w the boys skateboarding and bmxing soo long ago. Time flies, man 😭
I love this video so much, this is heartwarming! especially to the ones who don't know coding!
So inspiring, I have kinda the same story. I started making mods for Unreal Tournament 3 when I was 14-15, now I'm 22 and I'm just trying to make my own finished products.
Since I'm a 3d artist I'm still learning a lot of Unreal Engine 4 visual scripting/blueprints and I don't think I'm going to be able to finish a full game for a long time but I think I still got plenty of time to make something good.
I'm 21 and I'm trying to make my own game too just like you!!!
I'm 19 and I'm trying to make my own game too
This story hits home for me a lot.
Since I was a kid I dreamed of making my own games. I really went through it in highschool and had a hard time actually enjoying anything but video games. The video games provided me with another world to escape to, and that world gave me inspirations to become the person I am now (love games with good moral messages no matter how corny). When I was 21 I had an opportunity to take 2 months to train (unpaid until after it was over) to learn a new industry, and in July of 2017 got my first decent job at a consulting firm working closely with snooty architects and engineers drawing up plans. During this training, we quickly glossed over unity for work related reasons and it sort of stuck with me, but I didn’t know any code and that held me back. I worked myself sick sometimes, commuting 6 hours total a day for an 8 hour job just to get out of my garbage little town. Now, almost 4 years later I am finally in the process of learning unreal engine blueprints and developing the idea for my first game, and I haven’t been so excited in forever. If I make a working game that’s anything remotely close to my vision, it’s a success for me.
Love the channel, definitely inspiration porn for upcoming game developers.
Just found your channel.....and I wanna say a few things
1. This right here was more inspirational than most anything ive ever seen. Not gonna lie, Im a 40 yr old father of 3 and this brought tears to my eyes.
2. As someone that just started on UE5 and learning game dev all by myself without a coding background as well, THIS is what I needed to see.
You sir....thank you!
The fact that you got the idea for the game while doing dishes reminds me that I should really write down the random stories that sometimes pop into my head.
Ideas are cheap. Execution is what matters I'm afraid
@@jonny__b For me coming up with ideas is the hardest part of any project, once I start working it goes pretty smooth. But I guess that's different for other people.
3:24 that was my exact reaction when i heard unity had visual code

Visual code is a saver which transforms into a project management nightmare in a second.
UE developers be like: oh rEaLlY?
Иван Абуховский
Same with UE, a management nightmare.
Try to pass such a project to a another visual code “dev”.
Every such dev has his own way of managing the structure of the app.
And the structure becomes very overwhelming in a very short time, meaning, the “code” complexity increases in a geometrical progression.
@@maxsolo2652 Does visual code at least show you the written code too? Like couldn't it be a good way to learn basic-intermediate code?
I've "tried" learning code a couple times, but after 5 hours of watching boring ass youtube tutorials said, "fuck it".

No, visual code does not show you the actual code.
It is translated internally into code, when the game is run or built.
Check out a basic visual code tutorial, it might be something that would work for you.
If you don’t get enthusiastic about coding after your first “Hello world”, then the actual code-programming is not for you.
Honestly your experience creating mods was extremely useful. I would consider that to be actual game dev experience. Although there wasn't any code involved, you actually were doing the design process of game developing (which for me, starting off as purely a coder, is the hard part of game design).
That's a beautifull story bro! Congrats!!

Hey this is exactly what I went through. I never thought gaming would actually get easier and more powerful, so I went into film and now I'm circling back.
This made me cry a bit this is an amazing experience thank you for never giving up
Dude, this gave me goosebumps! will love to hear more!
Becoming a game dev was my childhood dream but I could never close, but I have an opportunity now thanks to this video. Thank you
