One of my close relatives in Turkey passed away a few days ago, so I had to come here for a funeral instead of the planned wedding.
There will be 4 more videos under the time I am here, and I will return to Sweden 15th. Thank you for understanding, and thank you foe your support! ❤️
Sykoo Sorry for your loss man.
Sorry for your loss aga.
sorry for your loss.
sorry Bro
:(
#: Do you do server maintenance
#: whats a server
#: congratulations your hired at ubisoft
it´s a joke
True :)!
Most unoriginal comment i have seen this over 5 times
Have been teaching video games design for 10 years in the video games capital of the world and here a very honest reality check for people who want to start making video games :
1# Learning 3d modeling software 2 to 3 years to become really good and to make assets in a reasonable time frame.
2# Learning a major sculpting software 1 years to become good enough with it.
3# 1 to 2 years learning texturing software and the basic of 2D graphic
4# Learning C++ or C# coding language 2 to 3 years before you can start knowing how to do serious stuff.
5# Drop any kind of social life if you want to make good progress in acquiring the above skills.
6# A big + if you are living in your mother basement since you will need to eat and not worry about paying the rent.
I know this will make many cry a river but at least you are being warned by someone who saw many broken dreams!
Sorry for your loss we are always here to support you ❤
I learned C++ at college and figured it'd be easier to pick UE4 because Unity uses C#, but after a few months of game programming in both engines I've realized Unity is definitely the best option for your first game engine, regardless of your programming knowledge (unless you're intending to use the blueprint feature in UE4). The simplicity of the engine and scripting makes it great for beginners, but in the long term I'll be looking to move over to UE4 due to the optimization possibilities of both the game engine and the programming language.
C# is easy to learn (if you want) but on the other hand C++ Is harder
Base on the type....
i’m a good learner so C++ or C# is not that hard to learn and use.
For me pure 2D game and less coding skill, we should you game maker studio ( believe me most of the tine just import sprite and drag is enough for a normal game), also the gms is not free anymore :(
For 2d or 3d or hybrid, unity is better to use it since first it’s free. second, it ‘s easier to code.
For go full power on 3d high quality, go with unreal.
Unreal engine all the way
So you are saying you know c++ but chose unity and then taught yourself c# for it ,only to change to ue4 at later stage. Good.
I will add the links tomorrow, I did not forget - I just had no time from accepting guests etc. that visit my relative.
Sorry guys!
Sykoo it's not that big problem, anyone can write the engine's name on the internet like "Unreal Engine " or "Cry Engine " and they will find 'em for sure
those guests must be sticky
1 month later xD lol
Tomorrow... ;)
Thanks Sykoo - Liked. That's just what I wanted to hear. I've worked with a few game engines on a basic level, and some things are falling into place, but I've still got a way to go before I can feel more confident as a game developer. I know what I want to build, but knowing how to build it to completion is the challenge. I'm doing an online Unity course , but have recently started to focus on Gamemaker, to use the drag and drop coding to try and build another version of my proof of concept faster. It's coming along, but sometimes it does feel like 1 step forwards, 2 steps back. I'm determined to not let the bugs beat me, as this feels like my calling.
It would be great to see more videos like this, as I'm very interested in becoming more competent as a game developer to bring my concepts to life, and hopefully, in time, turn it into a career.
Thanks for your videos. Looking forward to your future content.
Peace
i found this channel and subscribed. your and the community comments here helped me pick my engine. I THANK YOU.
Your content is amazing and though I'm new to all this game developing, your videos are awesome and push me to want to learn! Thanks and keep it up!
I'm a total noob but I started learning UE4 despite others saying the editor and specific systems like lightning, particles and wind, are difficult and complex. I'm thinking of building games in UE4, the models in Blender (also a noob) and the colors/textures in simple tifs made in Autodesk Sketchbook. Do you think I'm on the right track?
I would suggest you using Unity because it is easier for a fresh developer to try create a game and the tutorial is easier to understand
I personally tried both and I sticked with Unity. I am a rather fresh game developer and programmer and Unity fits my needs as of now. Easy to pick up interface, not so complicated programming language and such.
Stick with UE4 if you really want to make 3D games, IMO the Interface and the coding is much clearer than in Unity. But I wouldn't recommend to start making gamesin 3D, so thats that.
Stick with UE4, it has a lot more tools at your disposal, it is cheaper in the long run, open-source, good coding practices (Unity enforces bad practices like exposing public fields...)
Also Unreal Engine's community is way more serious regarding development, than Unity's.
Also looking the list of tools you are listing, I assume you are an artist, so you will have better time with UE4.

Hello, I was using 3dsmax / maya and I decided to make a game on my own. (0 code knowledge)
Unity (with mechanim) + playmaker with few tutorials made me able to do my firsts prototype in no time.
I am going to share this video with my friend who is asking me the same question. :D
Fun HUB Thank you! 👌❤️
Oluwaseye Ayinla Seems interesting.. I'll will tell him to take a look at it ;)
learning c++ this summer for unreal engine
NileonMatter yea going to study bought s course recently I will be able to study more when my new PC gets here
Yeah I got a course on Unity but I need a new PC since my ultrabook doesn't have a graphics card.
Argha Saha What about a egpu ( External GPU ) you can keep the egpu at home and unplug it when you travel
Kh4yer // that means that you'll need to buy a psu and a graphics card....that setup will look ugly
Henry Palmer I hope it’s a success
Man I love your work, but you seem to use a lot of Unity default shaders and that's dragging your scenes behind the profesional quality standard (in my opinion), I don't know if this is only for your videos because you want them to be kind of newbie informative, but It would be amazing if you start using more precise PBR shaders to show of how your scenes would look at its full potential.
You're the best in this website, Sykoo
Thanks, Sebastian!
I'm new to your channel and I already like being here. I want to make a game myself in the future but for now I'm still a bit too young(14) so for now I'll develop my skills. It's going to be a lot of fun being with you guys.
Thank you for helping me i just recently wanted to become a game dev and this helped me out a lot:) keep up the great work
Congratz on 6k btw
I've used RPG Maker for a good while now (2004-present), and I started feeling limited with it within about five years. I'm picking up GDevelop for more advanced 2D stuff, and have been inching my way through Unity for 3D from 2010, more so since I started working with Autodesk Maya over the last two years for my animation degree.
I just started becoming a software developer for Steam games using Unity. thank you very much for this very nice comparison video.
Hey boss, mind telling me where you get your assets? I'm looking to build simple shooters without spending a penny. I'm a good coder but a terrible assets. Are there decent free assets out there for these engine or should I stick with the Source engine?
Unity has a bunch of free assets you could check out
(blender > learn blender > make itself > profit)
dude, that scene your building in the background looks great! Had no idea Unity could be used to make such pretty stuff...
He is using Unreal Engine 4 for the map in the background.
often times I feel like I can do one line of C++ that tooks 5 nodes in BP...
I have question about the assets required such as textures and sound effects etc. do you make every single one of them or can you find some for free? Of course with a commercial license otherwise they would be useless.
love your content man
Question have you seen ready player 1? The concept to oasis is ultimate choice in character skill weapon design and vast world, which would be better for that type of progect?
I really like how you explain your work
As a ue4 user wich started with shallow knowledge I can say that the blueprint system really helped me with getting around understanding the system of game making and as a side part learning C++ on the side makes a real good compliment.
But what I would say is a good thing with unity is that if you learn C# you can use that knowledge for other programming than just game developing.
So both of these has their pros and cons
@@qvindicator true. Just did'nt thought of mention it in the comment
Man, you ask for 60 likes and you get +300 likes ! Keep up the nice work man !
I know right, hahaha crazy. Thanks Mahmoud!

Cheers, excellent advice given!
Do you need to do the objects on 3d modelling software like maya , 3ds max, blender or are those objects made in the game engine?
I love your videos! Keep it up :D
gonna start my game dev elective subject next semester. im currently on object oriented programming. hyped!! whats the best budget workstation build for game development?
Thank u for this vid! Helped me a lot :)
Well... Blueprint is for sure easier to learn. But sometimes its ineffective. Many times i told myself, that with code i would make this and this in no time and with blueprints you sometimes have to go around which costs you performance. As well code gives you full control over your programming. You dont know how nodes are programmed, you dont know if they are optimized for what you want to do with them
congrats on 6000!
I started with unity and I am still learning.
I got into coding and it's very entertaining for me!
I don't get people that want to make games, but don't want to learn coding.
Its like saying you want to eat without tasting it.
Eventually you have to learn coding if you want to continue. Right?
Better learn it sooner than later.
And I think for someone starting to learn game development, he doesn't need something as powerful as unreal. Unity is simple, easy to get into, and there's plenty tutorials for both 2d and 3d.
I am not an expert but I think unity is a great starting engine!
Thanks for reading!
Do you use shader programming for your textures in unity? Because it looks gorgeous.
Very insperational and informative, earned a sub 😊
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying your stay. :)
You actually subbed in perfect time with the new video! ^^
Considering that I starting making and coding games on ROBLOX when I first started, all these are great options.
Which engine did u use first and what elements do u add to get all the structures
Should I start learning Unity 3D from Udemy, Coursera or another paid course but has to be a good one ? Or should I just start it from youtube. Please suggest
Rohan Patel you can learn unity 3D straight from the unity website. check them at first. Then decide whether you want to learn from somewhere else too. Also do check the unity community. Many of the problems,can be solved as someone before you would also had the same problem. Hope that would help.
You can learn a lot from the vast amount of unity tutorials on youtube, before deciding if you have an area in which you need more help with, but even then i would advise you do some reading about the course provider before you part with any cash.
some have a bad rep for their so called "experts" selling other folks tutorials that they have gotten from youtube for free
I know personally I learn better initially by following a prescribed course by professional teachers rather than trying to learn piecemeal through google and youtube. Udemy has been great for me, not just for the videos, but for other little features as well. Once I felt I had the foundations down, I was more comfortable researching on my own, choosing my own topics, and learning from different sources and perspectives. So at that point, youtube became a much more useful resource for me. I am starting to supplement that with podcasts and tech books.
The most important thing is to pick a path and start running, not paralyzing yourself trying to pick the best path. You're going to do some course correction later anyway.
I think if you are an *absolute* beginner (like I was not long ago), then finding an instructor you are reasonably comfortable with and a place where you feel safe asking questions is the most important thing. At that point, the content, language, engine, etc is not that important. Some people find that that in RUclips, some people find it in school, some people find it in forums. For me, it was an online course/community.
Are the blueprint type add-ons for unity (and the Unreal Engine Blueprint system) capable of creating a game? Some say they’re just for prototyping, but can they actually *finish* a game?
What program are you using in the video? (the one you make the landscapes in)
Which engine would be suitable for text based games (with some models) like OOTP or EU4? Should I just attempt to create my own? I am going to learn to code but have no prior experience.
dude thank you help me find what i all ways need to learn
Nice channel mate, subbed
Your scenes look great. Do you have any released games?
Thanks man, i was in thought between CryEngine or Unity..but u changed my mind to pick UnrealEngine xD
im not really a game developer, but i do like to play around with ue4.
its alright. havent tested unity to be able to give a comparison.
from what ive seen so far, ue4 definitely has its complexity
and the tutorials from the ue4 team are a good addition.
my smaller concern so far with the blueprint system was the naming scheme of certain instructions, some are a bit unintuitively named, but its still a great way to avoid manual coding, which i just cant get in to.
in my opinion absolutely worth to give it a try
Hi Sykoo sir, Can you please tell me that what song does you used in your in very beginning video of How To Get Into Game Development. please.......
You forgot something crucial: you can also make game engine yourself. You will understand everything there perfectly, learn why things are like they are in best way, coding skills level-up +25, you start to respect desing choices in other game engines and more. Hardest part; you must realize making a game engine takes a long time, and most of them never get finished. Starting with simple games you need really simple game engines with only one while(running){} loop.
The first engine I ever made a game is called GDevelop, it got me to kind of experience what developing a game is like before I learned a coding language. Thanks to it, I am trying to learn GDSCRIPT so I can use Godot. So my tip is to start with GDevelop to see if game development is something you like, as you have to work hard to get things to work, but you don't have to code
6:29 , what i tell everyone when they have a war over unreal and unity
what game engine would you recommend for making a visual novel 3d action hybrid
i learned unity i like it not a pro but good at it i made a few games vr 2d 3d good one should i go to unreal ..its just that unreal looks difficult
Shripad Agashe if you know the language of unreal engine because unity is more understanding than unreal
How do you add assets to create a level? like how do you import them because I can't find any in unreal engine 4
Which editor was the background footage?
there'a also fusion that works like RPG Maker and Game Maker, but one of the more popular game using this engine is the FNAF series
Hi nice video and it seems your well verse in Unity, Can unity create 2d side scrolling Rpg games not Action? also is Unity like rpg maker where it has tiles trees weapons characters to customize etc? Thanks
The GUI in that backgroud footage, looks alot like Spore's Adventure Editer, but with a more realistic asthetic.
I have no experience with coding, game engines or anything related to making games and where would be the best place to start?
"if you are interested in game development but don't want to learn programing, I would question wat you want to do.."
I'm interested in game development but more in the art side, environment and characters, do you think it is usefull to learn an engine like unreal?
my problem that im inside of U4, and i dont have textures models, like you did, how you do that?, I guess you use free ones right?
How do I learn a programming language and what’s the best for making 3D games?
Hello, I would like to hear your opinion on developing RPG game with Phaser Framework. Would this be an option to develop a game for publication with Phaser?
I learned Unity3D before and developed a 2D game that works. However, I have a need to incorporate Google Voice Engine which requires Python or PhP, and I need to record sound in the game and transfer the audio file to server. I feel Unity cannot fulfill my needs, so I had to explore JavaScript + PhP solution. Hope to hear your advice! Thanks a million!
hi .. i know the programming languge java,c and little bit of c++. i want to build my career in game developmet. but i do not what should i do next.. can you give me some suggestion what shoult i do...
iN THESE VIDEOS ARE YOU THE ONE ACTUALY MAKING THESE AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL SCENES??????
Yes, it is me. :) Thank you!
Please I need help I am so confused I need advice from all of you I am new and I want to be a game dev I love 3d and I have checked so many engine and tutorial on RUclips but I don't know which engine to go for first I know little of c# and unity but should I leave unity and start UE4 because it specialized mainly on 3d please I need all your help which one should I stick on.
I can't really say I love one engine than another because it's based on features I like. I might like the realistic effect Cry Engine gives but I know I would struggle with it if I attempted a 2D game in it. Same thing goes for any other engine out therel. Since I'm more of a 2D person, I would say I'm liking the steady development of the Defold Engine. But I'm still using Unity for now
I've read documentation and poked around with Unreal, but nothing else, so I don't really have "footing" for a solid opinion. But I like what I've seen with Unreal.
this is an excellent video!!. 10/10 :-)
i cant wait!. tom. i will spend 15 hours of my days the whole summer of trial and error
Keep up the good work!!!
When armoury engine for Blender comes out, I will immediantly swap to it from Unity.
The new engines are going to be, EVEE and Clay engine.
Armoury is not an official engine, one guy called Lubos Lenco is doing it open source. It looks amazing thats for sure, has good performace but still some bugs and mostly missing features.
Yeah, I have looked at it a few times. It is very promising. Evee is gonna blow it's RT rendering away though.
One of the biggest problems for me is actually acquiring these assets like grass, buildings, etc. I dont want to make a game filled with borrowed or bought assets, so I try to create my own whether its through blender, photoshop, etc
Hey Sykoo!
I downloaded Unity and also installed it but when I open Unity it only open a black screen with some folder like: #; Users and so on!
Please help me!
Good day, nice video, I want to make a game like Child or Light 2d turn based rpg game. What free game engine and character creation software do you recommend? thanks
Tried using RPGmaker MV for an RPG, but after 100+ hours of use, I found that it doesn't handle mechanics that break the mold particularly well unless you find specialised plugins and install a boatload of them. I eventually got fed up and moved to Gamemaker, where I have to learn how to store masses of data myself as well as make a dialogue and menu system from the ground up. I'd recommend the RPGmaker engines if you don't really have an interest in breaking many traditions in the RPG genre and just want to tell a story or showcase your art.
For architectural stuff I like CryEngine, the Voxel GI looks awesome and don't need to invest time in UVunwrapping lightmaps.
There are also paid solutions for unity: SEGI. But the downside is that you have to pay for them.
Maybe for personal work or hobby, but CryEngine's EULA prohibits the use of the engine for anything other than games, including architecture, which is one field they name specifically. I have no idea why they do this...but it's one of the main reasons I avoid using it.
One Engine I recomened people start with is Valves Source engine. its easy to learn and although building maps in Hammer will take the while, but with the right lighting and textures, it will look nice. not pretty, but nice, and highly optimized.
now starting with it is not easy. but after practice and some modding you can make some great games!
I see a lot of open world creation in your videos, it´s very impressive. But what about creating an avatar, and interacting with the environment? Meaning, making sure you dont walk through walls, actually swim when you enter the water, or even push object you might not want permanently stationary?
Any recommendations for websites/books on learning C#? :)
I can't decide between Unity and Unreal. I have basically no experience in the game designing world but I've watched hours of videos of information and advice. I am unable to choose which to use though because I have a lack of skill and knowledge. In the video, he said unity is easier to learn but what exactly makes it easier than unreal? I'm leaning a lot towards unreal but I'd like some feedback.
Mushromboe Invading just pick one, watch some tutorials and see if you get anywhere.
Hey man great video! I'm starting off with Unity
John Belusar thanks dude! Let me know if you need any help! :)
I've used both Unity and UE for a little while, but I decided to stick with Unity because its editor runs better in my 4Gb RAM and slow HDD. So if system requirements are an issue for you, I recommend Unity even though I love UE.
Can you please tell me which one you used on the left ?
Thanks bro for this info
Which one is the best in all?
Which one should I use?
I want to be an game creator and i have so much interest on that..but i prefer UNREAL4 and i don't even no what's inside..so pls tell unreal is good or i prefer other softwares
I think Unreal is my number one pick. I like the new additions like destructible environments Chaos and photo realism Quixel. Unreal 4 is now hands down the top pick for game development in my opinion. Games will never be the same.
given me sense of direction....ill always remember you
I wanna try unity and gamemaker and wanna make a 2d web game, so my friends can check it out. What languages do unity and gamemaker use? I would like to program instead of drag and drop. I feel that my game would be better if I coded it.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of picking a game engine over a simple programming environment? I want to program a mobile game for android and ios with similar requirements like clash of clans or plants vs zombies. Basically a 2D game with 3D graphics. Furthermore I want to experiment with in app payment and multiplayer. I know, that I have to start simple, but I want to pick a game engine or programming language, that will suit this purpose in future (and also is free). So far I have little experience with small basic and the arduino programming language (similar to C++). I have also tried Java, but I have not done more than "hello world". I am very thankful for any help!
I am familiar with C#, can i use that knowledge for unreal?
4:28 is the best advice in this video.
I like to play around with a bit of everything but sometimes no matter the price of the software or how good the ratings are if you dont have a computer good enough to handle any of these then its a waste
What platform was being used at the beginning of the video
I think that considering the game engine regarding the game genre you're gonna make is a pretty smart decision. I wouldn't want to use Unity for a shmup, I'd use Construct or Game maker instead.
Wait so i dont need to do like 10000 lines of code to make a game? (On unreal4)
Unreal is built upon by the industry. Its a tool that has been built up by many big studios and games. Those tools created get added to the engine. This in turn makes a better engine for gaming.
Unity doesnt have that type of support. Things that come easier like lighting and rendering just look better in Unreal. The little things you have to go out of your way to do in Unity. it's nice to have that kind of support and workflow in an engine.
That's why I picked UE. Spending too long in Unity to get the look I wanted because the tools just weren't there as they are in Unreal. With games like Kingdom Hearts 3 being done in UE hopefully that will bring even more to the engine.
