@@thegamedevchannel3063 how to download unity and where to download it at/from?
I'm just finishing up a computer science degree, and I really want to get into video game development. I play indie games almost constantly, and I love the idea of making something of my own that I myself and other people can enjoy, but I keep holding myself back because I'm scared and don't know where to start. This video was definitely helpful and inspiring to me, and it makes me feel like I actually have a shot at gaining the skills I need and making something cool!
Gl mannnn, update us how it's going
Or girl* my bad
I'm rooting for you!👏🎮
Me too, I will finish my cs degree in three months and I really want to be a game dev (hopefully). Good luck to us 😉
I would recommend doing a game developer as a hobby and actually doing front end is what I'm doing now is hard being a game developer you need to learn the game engine learn to make music and art and animation and be creative and have imagination is a strong key there so much competition now
Bro I just learned that the college Im planning on attending next year also has Japanese courses, which I've wanted to do since middle school. Combining that with game development could lead me to working for a Japanese developer like FromSoftware!
If you’re from the West (Europe, America, Australia) think twice before moving to Japan. There’s no 8 hour workday, 45 minutes lunch break and 5 weeks paid vocation there. If they’re alive they work.
@@pitoblogg not necessarily true, yes Japan’s work schedule can be nearly double the USA, but there are jobs in America that can be exactly that if not worse.They have days off and holidays off
Good like, and dont skip out on math. Math is the essence of computer graphics. Learn as much linear algebra and calculus as possible, and trigonometry of course
These videos are really helpful, I watch them with my friends on Voicely whenever we practice coding. We all agree that we learned more from RUclips videos than from school lol
Great Video!! Thanks for sharing. I am a game developer from Nigeria. I will definitely come back to this channel in the future and see how much progress that I have made in this industry.. Mark my word!!
thanks for the information, you gave me the path to game devloping.
Glad I could help!
I studied two years to try and get an A.S. in engineering and pursue mechanical engineering. But at the end of these two years, I realized that I don't much like some of the classes I had to take for engineering. Now, I'm planning on doing game development, but this time with a set plan and goal for me to achieve. I was scared at first with me getting into college, but now I see game development as something I can achieve if I just try harder. This video helped me see that some of the classes I've taken will pay off in helping me get started with game development. I hope that in a few years, I can go back to this video and say that I have become a game developer. I'll be adding this to my motivation playlist. Thank you for the tips.
I’m a Veterinarian with Masters in Immunology, I’m 31 and yet here I am still wanting to learn coding and switch my career to a game dev.
Hey @TheGameDevChannel I just decided to learn how to code so I can become a video game developer, this video was of much help. I now know I want to be a AAA GameDev because I have always lacked any skill in drawing but I have always been a creative writer. Thanks!
I've been playing video games since I was about 6 years old and I'm now a 32 year old woman, for a while I've been having the urge to take one of my favorite hobbies farther and hopefully achieve success doing the games itself being a great developer in a team but I'm still deciding what role should I take in a team. It would also be amazing to end up doing a good demo and be selected by a high end company like PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox.
Have you started to learn yet?
Story of everyone’s life
@@VALLANCEGAMING may be she quit after a week
I know nothing about coding right now but i love gaming and wont quit til i make the best game in the whole world.
I like the nods to 'fanboyism' in this presentation 😄.
I was unlucky that in my college years, you generally only had 1 option in IT. Which were basically programming for databases and networking. While I specifically went to learn coding and (graphics) designing to create games. I learned the graphics part on my own, also because I had a real knack and passion for it. Coding was more difficult, as information to code for gaming or even a game-engine, were hard to come by (or expensive).
Now, almost 2 decades further, our country finally is getting a gaming-industry and there are classes you can follow. I hope I can start in September and hopefully they're not too basic, as I already have some basics.
I already tried creating a game twice, sort of. First time was more than a decade ago, supposed to be a fighting game or beat'em up. I got my character modelled (not textured) and even rigged for facial animation. But I soon realized that coding and balancing a fighting game is really hard to do. So much to consider and take into account. And there wasn't even a decent free engine that could provide what I needed.
Two years ago, I started again, but with another genre I liked and more manageable (for a single game dev), an arcade racer. Luckily I was able to pick up Blender easily where I left of (they also made it more user-friendly). And found a decent free game-engine: Godot. Atleast good enough to give me the taste of game-creation and create a tiny concept. I have some videos on my game-dev channel: 'Close Call Racing'on channel 'eyeEmotion'.
I have been on a break from it because of renovations at home, which I have to execute myself. And I'm changing to Unreal Engine, since its change in licensing and it's more friendly to devs who are more into designing than programming. I just need that game-dev 1 year course to get the ball rolling again and keep me motivated when I get stuck and the information I need.
Your video was such a big help from me. I am currently studying at school programming and learning c++, html - css and javascript. I never really liked web development and I always had a thing for game development. Recently I decided that I should start learning the skill I ' ll need for my future but when I searched on the web it showed a lot of things and I didn't know where to start. Your video really helped me to unerstand what to do and put me at the start of my journey👍
How’s it going now bro?
Hi,
Great video really gave some helpful insights, I'm currently in university studying computer science as every single company in my city said its a requirement, but I'm also going to be working on my own projects hopefully I can skip the stage of being employed and start my own company, we can dream haha, but yeah this has been helpful, the information was concise and well presented, good job and thank you
Hey can I please reach u if u have discord or anything just I wanna know things and advice please
Hey, it's been a year, how it's going? :)
So far this has been the clearest step by step but still lacking where these resources are but been under a rock for 10yrs on tech stuff. Physical labor I had to get out of and I know I got brush up on math but I was studying intro to trig and calculus in 9th while in algebra. If you correct and show your smarter than the teacher the fail you and deny the extra credit boy dose that f up a feature.
I honestly want to be an Indie Dev, I've been binge watching these videos, and I've wanted to become one since I was a kid!!! I've designed some characters over the years ^_^
Thats awesome, just a word of advise, you should start learning a lot of lineat algebra and calculus, they are very necesarry in the field of game dev, also learning a programming language, I would start with C and eventually once youre confident learn C++
Great video. I definitely think working out what kind of dev to be is super important. I went to uni for games but realised the industry isn't for me. Software is my thing and I do games as a hobby. It's slower but way more enjoyable.
SUUUUUPER helpful! Thank you so much!
thank u, this video has help me alot with planning out my future
Thank you for the video I wanna to be in the game industry because I’m a write novels so I decided to have another way to convey my plot
this is has helped me alot thank you for the great vid
Thank you for this video. Very informative. I am considering a career change so I am doing my research. I will need to study whilst working full time. I'm in my early 40's. I hope its not too late ?!
Too me it’s someone who cares about the game they’re making and put so much work into their coed no matter how long it takes they want their game to be perfect for the people who play it and want a community and are open to tips because they want too be better
.. I wrote this before you gave the option’s 😃
I can relate. I 2 want to make my game perfect if I'll make one. I wanna persue cyber security but i like making 2D games like the pixel ones. Sorry for replying to you after one year.
You forgot to mention the audio specialization, but other than that, I really enjoy the video. Thanks!
I've been feeling pessimistic about game game development but this showed me that there are many other roles that I could be good at
Thanks you for you clip. inspired me to learn about game development agian.
I’d love to be a triple A game developer, I have a degree in chemistry but I recently reconnected with my passions and realised above all things I absolutely always loved games that’s one of the things I’ve never gotten tired of. I absolutely love video games, I never get bored or tired of them. I love coding too I wasn’t exposed to it until I started university. The two together?! That sounds so fun, the ability to create the unknown and the real creation goes out across the world for people to enjoy and play and I get to change them and add to them. It sounds so fun I hope I’m not too late to do it 😊
Same here, I got a bachelors in creative writing and I’m wanting to become a video game programmer!
thank you for giving us this advice
What a nice pleasant video, thanks for the positive vibes
Thank you for YOUR positive vibes! :)
For anyone who wants to become a game dev, just know its hard. very hard. Game development involves a lot of complicated math like linear algebra, not only that but youd need to have a lot of experience programming. Although I think anyone can do it with the right mindset, I also think its important to be realistic. If youre not good at math or you hate programming, maybe you dont really want to be a game dev.
I suck at math and I have never programmed anything in my life but I really feel like I want to try, is there anything realistic that I could do instead of being a programmer you think?
@@SuperLapplander Well you could try being a game designer, but its not like being a game dev at all.
Yeah, don't you also have to learn some sort of coding language? I watched a video and a guy said to start using scratch
I’m yes at math want to be game dev 99%
Great video Gj!! C# the best one
Thank you even though I’m only 11 this is my dream to work on big AAA games so I’ll probably learn how to do code to start early! Thanks
Interesting, I am currently about to finish a Python course, soon I will start advanced Python, in the meantime, I am learning C++ and to tell the truth, it was not difficult to understand the syntax of a different language, unfortunately I do not have enough equipment to start developing small and simple video game prototypes, although I have several prototype ideas in mind, I know that if I practice every day, apart from the fact that I will continue to develop my programming logic further, developing the prototype of a video game will not be difficult, maybe a little, but with enough knowledge, it will even be fun, don't give up, future developer, remember that if you can imagine it, you can program it.
glad thing i searched up what to do because i was watching python videos in hopes of developing games
My definition don’t know if anyone can agree but it’s to change the definition of the world it’s the most creative experience that’s brought joy to parents and children for generations
Such a beautiful explanation 👍👍
Glad it helped!
Inspiring vedio thankyou so much from India😊
thanks for the video it gave me some courage to move on
Thank you! Great video
No problem! Glad you liked it :)
very good information
My problem is I love the drawing of how the name looks as well… I love the sound effects and soundtracks on games not to mention storylines 🤦🏽♂️ so many ways but I love them all!!
so i have questions
in India , what we need to become a “game developer”
salary, what courses have to do , how much time it takes to become game developer, skill , where to go
thanks for the video! i looking for a job now!
Just stumbled upon your channel! I'm pumped up to start my journey coming from knowing absolutely nothing about game development. Would you recommend self learning via the internet or an actual school? Is it possible to land jobs without going to school or having degree?
great video, thanks 😄
Good Introductory Video! Thanks... Am thinking to quit being a Data Engineer (have been working as a Data Analyst / Engineer / Scientist for 8+ years) and become a Game Dev...
Was interesting to see.
I’d like to become an aaa dev! I used to mess around with c# in middle school when I joined an online group that was working on a private server for a mmorpg, and it was really rewarding and fun I wish I stuck with it!
I was considering about joining a coding bootcamp program for possible game dev applications and job fittings afterwards. Most bootcamps I have come across are primarily web development for tech companies and job placement with companies like google, apple, etc. Are there any game dev bootcamps similar to those? Do they have a high percentage hire rate within so many months after completing their program?
There are many now ,my Recomandation is Gamedevhq
Thank You So Much brother 🥰❤️😍❤️💕
Dude my dream is to work i with some big triple A company and make some great games that will be staples in the industry. Currently im working on my art skills, next year imma try to get into a coding class to learn how to code. From the moment i gained consciousness to now ive played videogames my entire life. My parents said i even had a gameboy sp when i was like 1 or 2. Ive loved videogames and the idea of creating videogames i tried making one when i was younger but i didnt know how to code or what i was doing. Ive had this passion for a while but never knew where to start but know that im getting older i believe i have more accessibly to this passion, for it to become something greater.
Thanks brother 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
To bring my story to life in the form of game
Thanks a lot!
good advice here thank you :)
It’s my dream to get unity and program all kinds of games like a horror or first person shooter!
Thank you
Thanks it was amazing
I just wish I could talk to a developer/developers to get some more insight. I began learning modeling in Blender as I decided to make a skin for a game (Actually was considered and I even sent my files for the skin. Sadly the game sunsetted before the next community bundle would come out). I really enjoyed the ability to create anything. I do have some issues with coming up with something to make so I mostly tinker with tutorials and pplaying around in blender these days. I Really wanna get into the gaming industry and I kinda have a fascination for coding as well tho I'm terrible with math and my small coding experience is mostly based on trial and error method as I find that more doable than actual math. Been considering going to a school for game development but I feel lost to what to dive into and kinda wish there was a jack of all trades to start with to get an insight. sadly need more schooling in math or programming and I'm personally just tired of prep education, and I'm currently working mmyself to death at a dead end job so my energy level to just self educate is way too low too often to really give it a go.
Kinda wish there was a complete kinda master class or something where you can just jump in and do a little of everything to create a prototype game to get into the whole thing.
Thank bro
thanks!
Thanks!
This guy explained very well in just 13 mins.
Others: FULL 86587452465 hour tutorial
you help me a lot
also my dream ,i just have many thoughts in my head about a game i could make
Great video man, very helpful👍🏾
Glad it was useful to you!
Thanks for all your advices sir! I've watched a lot of your videos and i came here just to ask a pertinent question with the argument of the video, maybe you can give me a little tip. I am currently in my first year of university studying computer engineering, and obviously, once i'm done with my degree, i will have some solid bases of programming, mathematics, physics, etc... My question is... Is it enough to work in the game industry or i need more in terms of experience of a specific programming language, or a game engine, graphic design or maybe with the AI system? Thanks again for your amazing work!
Hey, I'll start my first year of uni in may and I want to know what laptop are you using?
Nice video
I watched this video 3 years after it's making. I want to be a AAA game developer at naughty dog. But the exposure of making such high graphic games is not that intense in our country. Anyone with guidance is always welcomed.
So I can do all three as indie from game art to code and desgier.
i have naver right any code before of programming any think in fact I'm 31 know and i want to be a vr game developer do you think that i will be able to be?? do i need to start with c# ?? how much time it will take as ur Experian
Thanks for these awesome tips if i become a big game developer im going to write name of your channel today and im going to say that you helped me to start😁
hi there. This was a great video that has told me exactly what i need to know. Could you recommend some groups/communities that accept someone with no experience at all. I have a physical version of my game and i know the rules inside and out. I have learnt how to draw digitally and am transferring the art into a format that can be used in the game i want to make and a community that is welcoming and that gives feedback/advie would be awesome.
Im sure there are many programming groups that accept beginners, just tell them what languges you know, and how good you are at math, and youll probably be accepted by any group
So I have some ideas.
I wanna kinda be a multi-talent so I can be an integral part in all aspects of my games creation, broadly of course cause no ones a one man army, But i want to specialize in the design and visual parts of the game as I think thats where im best suited, But I want enough to understand and assist the coding individuals in realizing the vision without saddling them with too much nonsense.
How could I find this balance?
Some requirements I know i'll need would be some more polished artistic capabilities and (which I think I already have to an extent) the ability to Formulate, articulate and communicate ideas for the game.
Then probably some bare minimum coding capabilities to get a demo going to get backings/generate interest and to understand more complicated books on it.
Could I get a realistic interpretation of this brainstorm? Am I too scattered or is this pretty par?
I allways dreamed of making my own games and and now i drawing the caracters and the bosses i been doing this gor 2yrs
I’m currently finishing a programming language boot camp with Python and Javascript / React. Any ideas what I can do in gaming with that basic web application certificate? I would like to get into video game creation, but not sure where to start. I have a ton of self start game ideas
Thank you 🌝💙
No problem! Hope it helped
Do you think a CS degree would be useful for Game Dev?
ye Ima definitely be that AAA person but I'm starting to realize how long that's gonna take me to get to that skill, hopefully it works out for me, also In my school they had me doing sum C# for simple code programming, and I think that's what got that idea for a job, so technically I had the idea since I was in 6th grade, now that I'm in 9th, I think I might start to try out these seemingly useful tips for me
p.s (sorry if I typed too much lol)
That's the problem, it takes a looooooot of time
Hi
AAA is very difficult and takes a lot pf math, good luck 👍
I've been playing video games since i was 8 years old and meanwhile i learnt how to use computer and how to speak english !
This is my main purpose in my life , to be a game developer , every night i sleep i always imagine myself standing on stage carrying the game awards
I am 17 years old , its not too late !
Actually its never too late
You recommend cs50 introduction to computer science instead of going in to unity?
I want to start in the indie genre to get started and even main game dev path but my dream is to make a AAA mistborn game
Anyone know where an artist can volunteer work for indie games?
This has been my dream since I was 5 years old. No cap I was already messing with an NES controller when I was an infant. I was a weird infant I didn’t crawl I just started walking.
my dream is to work for Ubisoft or PlayStation because I want to make educational video games for people with learning differences is there any advice you have for someone who has a learning difference and is trying to make it in the industry.
What’s is the best degree for game development?
Can anyone suggest that if I wanna be in a programming field in game development. Is python also a good option to choose as your programming language?
I think the first thing you need to have to be a game developer is to be creative and have imagination. Everyone wants to be a game developer till they find out they have no idea what kind of game they want to make because if you don't have creativity or imagination you are ready to fail building a game.
My dream is to work with the company Rare my brother is actually working with the company Alta so hopefully he can also help
Thank you Sir for such a good content. I have a question sir that has been running in my mind since a long time. I love "Assassin's Creed" franchise and I want to be a part of it . I want to do Job at UBISOFT but I am confused that should I become a game programmer or a game tester. Please help me figure out the right choice for my career🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi! Thanks for the feedback! What choice do you think is more suitable? Do you like programming or do you want to do more of the design work?

unity or unreal? for metaverse
Hello ! I was wondering, what if I dont want to créateur my own game, but work with a game company that is already done ? I want to work at Supercell entertainment but as a designer, what do you think of that ? 🙂
Sorry for my bad english
Yaaa that will be cool bro
Same dream
Yes different cayogry there do why not
man i know C+ and JavaScript too. but i dont know anything about making a video game .. should I go the unity path or unreal path?
i already know java ,do i need to learn other programing lang aswel like u said c++, c, python etc
I have got interest in game development but I'm not good at physics n maths. Is that a problem? l don't know what to do.😶
You gave me some info brother and i wish to become a fame dev but ... my family have some money problems so i can’t get a laptop i have one but it’s Chrome’s laptop for studying and i have a final question if you don’t mind ... i want to become a game dev and make games by myself like graphics-character design-coding and everything and i have ideas for games characters and more , do you think i can succeed?
You can ! Just keep working hard and i will because i have the same problem and i can feel you so don’t give up and i wish we all success
I want to become a game developer becasue the games that i liked so much inspired me to create one, im getting really anxsious becasue i really really want to create my own game in starting by now, i know im still to young but who cares. I want to learn to make games and I WILL become a game developer. By they way is it okay if i do indie AAA and the other one? I want to be all of the threegame developer
hey im about 11 and i want to be a indie developer i know how to code a bit like in scratch so where should i go from here
