glad to hear people passionate about their craft!

[jabean]

Thank you for this video. I've been neglecting job postings because i feel under qualified. Great advice!

[foreducation]

Such a motivational video, i am in the same position as you were, building games and applying for jobs, improving my skills along the way.

[omerfarukbykl]

That was a good reminder. I can give recommendations if you want too.

[VelocitySatrocities]

What i learnt from this: Don't be discouraged by rejection.Use it to strengthen your interviews in the future and try to build up a great portfolio which shows you have passion in the industry 😅

Bro...what about HARDWARE?
What PC build, especially a Budget one would you have recommended for a 3d game development?
I'm asking bc. I'd have loved to try making a Cod-like story driven game, because I have a story I'd LOVE to tell, especially in 3d and also one that involves war, so that's what i meant with COD-like...ty in advance❤

Edit: I have a 2012 pc and want to upgrade, not only to play newer, but make my own games, bc. my current PC was a beast but now it's a shadow of it's former self that can't pull much and has to play on low settings and almost always crashes...so PLEASE could you make a video on what budget friemdly hardware, one could get that would also allow one to play and especially make games on...tky in advance again✌️

really helpful video! yesterday i had this insight to improve my portfolio and it's good to know that im headed in the right direction, thank you sir!

[MarcelQT]

this is so good! very re-usable tips for other software fields too

[tjguns]

i want to enter this industry
but i dont have a coding background and i'm starting to learn unreal engine, so what do you think i should start with.
will appreciate your guidance thank you

Great video, currently studdying software development but i want to get a carrer in game development as a programmer in unity

[sumdude]

As a soon to be graduate artist, doing everything right and got a glowing reference letter from my internship. Graduating right now is like being put in front of a gun who already shot thousands of my more senior colleagues and told to start begging for my life

[cuak-cuack]

Txs for this video bro! I studied cs and I have experience creating software but not games, and I want to start. Would you recommend starting using an engine like Unity or starting using libraries and frameworks like rylib, libdgx to create games? What do you think is the most important aspect to develop at the beginning: the art, the code, the structure of your game/gameplay, history?

[agustinquindimil]

Hey Garnet, good stuff man really liked the video, Would you recommend me specializing in a field I truly like? or is it better to have a variety of skills?

[skylarmuffin]

Awsome Video ^-^ Do you have a link to that website that has all the public games studios In Australia?

[smitvaishnav]

Living in india right now and I'm in 12th std so do you recommend me to get into a computer science college and do game programming as i am so much interested in it ...but i want to open a game company here so is it possible..?

[killerman_]

Hey Garnet, I have 2 unfinished games that are my dream projects, and one Udemy Course game, completed halfway, I am too confused. What should I do ? Would really appreciate to get advice from you!

[foreignsleet]

would you recommend learning mostly unity or unreal, obviously its good to know both but which one is best to know better for getting jobs? how many companies use unreal and how many use unity?

[justarandomguy-gntu]

I have a question: Do i really need to really be good at DSA to get a job in the industry ? If don't then how much should i know about this subject to increase the chance ?

[abdullahbinshahid]

I just want to know How you made your portfolio and what you write about your projects in Your portfolio.
