Thanks for watching! Hope you learned a ton.

When copy-pasting code, it's important to know _what_ you're writing. Try to understand what each line does, it helps troubleshooting and learning.

4:48 I'm an Unreal Dev and the way I see engines is that they are tools. Pick the one that suit your needs and stick to it. Even change them if you need to. I don't understand the war between Unity and Unreal. I chose Unreal because my favorite game Gears of War was made in using it and also I saw a time-lapse of a guy creating a stellar scene in Unreal. Plus Unreal was more "shiny" looking so my dumb ass just went with it.

Actual step 1: Have a PC, that's VERY important. That of which I do not fulfill the requirements for.

For all the new Indie Devs use which ever game engine you feel comfortable with (Unity, Godot, Gamemaker, and yes Unreal). Be persistent and make lots of games can make your dream game or side project.

Free/Cheaper Alternatives:
Krita instead of PS
Blender default one.
Affinity or Inkscape for vector art.
Asprtie for Pixel art

Thomas is back to the old content. I’m overwhelmed with nostalgia. 😊

the # in c# is derived from music notes. if c++ is c(+1) than c# is c("music note" + 1.5 octave)
it always makes me smile when i'm reminded of that :)

I started with Unreal two years ago and quit.. I picked up Unity a few months ago and almost have a full working demo. Not saying that is a definitive answer but… I’m happy with Unity and it just makes more sense to me at this point.

Finally I found a step guide I was stuck and overwhelmed by all this and finally a bit structure thank you so much

I use Unity every day, and it's great. It's like an all-rounder game engine. Unreal is more of a 3D, artist-focused engine. So choose Unity if you're more of a programmer and want to make cross-platform and various games. Choose Unreal if you only want to make 3D games, and you're more of an artist. If you're still not sure, just go with Unity.

I found your channel yesterday and I am already in love, thank you so much for making this! I'm just starting out with game development so this really helps!! :D

Hey man! Thank you for the video. Seriously. I was struggling today with motivation for a game jam game I'm making. I didn't touch it at all. I have only unfinished projects on my hard drive. Never released anything in 5+ years of try. But this video... this video really helped me get back on track. I see a lot of myself in you, and I hope to be in your position one day. No... BETTER! Haha! All jokes aside, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. You are an inspiration to me. Keep it up!

You're the most honest person I've ever seen.the world needs more of your kind

Amazing vid! Really digging these style of videos

[berkus]

I just bought the 2D art pro course! Looking forward to finishing it.

[demonicbane]

I've following your work man, and I want to say you're awesome

[marcoseliasmep]

About coding, that’s totally true! I don’t know advanced C# features, just enough to bring my game to life. And it’s working for 5 years or so haha. Every day I learn something new to solve a problem. There’s no need to get crazy studying the entire language and a lot of theories.

this is a perfectly edited video. reminds me of the old days! great job

[ArnavBoom]

This gave me a good overlook over everything, thank you!
