Quite inspiring story, I think most of us would be definitely interested in getting to hear a 2nd part of your journey.

As as a Games student in my first year of college, this has really inspired me to keep pushing myself. Keep it up mate!!

I've just started working at the game industry after studying gamedev too and it's amazing that I can see myself in your story :)
(Although I don't work for a AAA studio, but time will tell)

Everybody has their own path. Some paths are clearer than others. Do not judge your progression based on how other people are doing. Congrats and goodluck everyone!

You have no idea how motivating this is. I’m not even in the games industry but I really feel like I could apply it to me in my current situation. Sometimes persistence and simply just doing what you love will get you there sooner or later.

Really happy to hear someone’s game design dreams come to fruition. Personally, I have always wanted to get into game design but ended up in the more fintech side of things. I’ve always wanted to work on a game that would give someone the joy I experienced growing up playing certain games. All the best and keep up the hard work!

Amazing story. Makes me regret wasting so much time during collage when I knew I wanted to develop my game dev skills.

[jamdonut]

lovely story and also the way the company got you down to meet you shows a real company who cares with a great leader. best of luck in the industry you'll smash it

[charlesbwilliams]

What an awesome story, thanks for choosing SOT to put your efforts towards!

I'm still trying to find my way into the industry, but your video helped shed some light on areas that may be holding me back. Thanks for telling your story!

I've been working in game dev for 4.5+ years and it seems the best job offers comes not from HRs / tech interviewers / skill evaluations, but the people that just understand what exact people they need in their team and just invite you over. At least from my experience in east Europe.

Also, when comparing your UK College/University experience to what we have in east Europe, you are in a intergalactic space age.

That's incredible and it really highlights just how much effort you have to put in yourself to learn the skills and tools necessary to hold your own at pretty much any development beyond simple tools. Thank you so much for this, definitely inspiring me to work towards my own goals (I am but a first year undergraduate, we shall see how I go)

[roseflower]

thank you for sharing this story its so inspiring, i always go back to watch this video everytime i need some motivation

[iangerken]

Great video sir, recently been wanting to go back to school. Didn’t know exactly what I was wanting to do. Realizing I love playing games and over the years my love for them has only grown stronger. I really did some complicated math and put 2+2 together… and man oh man it finally clicked. Starting school this semester with big dreams and even bigger motivation! 🙏🏻

A friend recommended this video to me to inspire me to work harder on my course in level 3 games design. From level 2 i figured it'd be quite easy but damn i was mistaken. This video has fully inspired me to push more and research more of my course! So thank you for this 1 year journey it was very inspiring and keep it up!

[jc]

Great. I loved it. I actually got emotional when you were offered the job. So happy for you. May you continue to be blessed 😊

[WhoLeb]

This is the most incredible story I’ve ever heard… very, very impressive!

[adrianmeyer]

I'm 40 years old just finally starting to getting round to learning programming and unity, completely new to it but really enjoy watching these types of videos, gives me more motivation, I'll probably never learn as much as you would have going to uni and stuff, but it's all fun and learning. even if I just make some shitty 2D games, that'll be cool haha

[christiandk]

Thank you so much for helping create my favourite game of all time.
