Thanks for watching! Hope you learned a ton.

This was a much needed piece of information. Thanks. It is nice to be told 50% asset 50% script (tell asset what to do). It is even better that someone actually had the time to tell us newbies what an asset is. I really needed these 3 information to fill in my understanding of what is going on, in this new hobby of mine :)

I've been a full time software engineer for over a decade but have never built a game. My husband and I are now starting to spin up our understanding of project work to build our first mobile app. Thank you for this content.

What annoys me so much about watching videos and many tutorials is that there are people starting at ground 0 who can't even wrap their heads around the most basic concepts of these tools. Its great that you can take those objects and make this children to a parent object, but where did that floor come from? How did you make the trees? Did you import them? make them in the engine? do you MAKE the floor or does a script generate it? is there a tool in the engine that generates a floor? So many videos are always one step ahead in familiarity to far for absolute beginners to follow.

I just watched another video, above this one in my search results, and felt two different energies. The first left me feeling less capable of making a game while this one immediately made me feel more capable. I think that's because this one conveyed quickly the knowledge to get started. Thanks

Fantastic video. I love playing games. Now, I have a simple yet solid understanding of how they're made. The next step in learning how to make games is much clearer to me now. Thanks.

Hey man AMAZING video right here! I'm learning game dev and you managed to concisely fit so many game dev essentials into 13 mins :)

This was an amazing explanation! I’ve been learning c# recently and was struggling to find where the programming came into place/how everything in development is usually organized, and this answered most of my questions. Thank you!

[hannahhall]

This was very helpful. Ive been wanting this to be my career path and getting a better understanding before looking for a college is great.

i always love to call you the indie games philosopher, i love the content you share it absolutely enlighten my mind and opens it to understand

[TheRealCzechmark]

This is amazing! If I had this explained to me before getting into Game Dev, this would have saved so much time learning the lingo. Great Video Thomas!

[ArleysResco]

I loved this video, believe it or not, been searching YT like crazy trying to find someone explaining this, the concept the organization, at a high level, all the different components that goes into technically making a game. This gives so much direction for wannabe game devs like me, thank you!

[thanhato]

Thank you so much for inspiring me through my hard journey of becoming a game dev! Wish you best luck and success!!

[FunkyV]

Yes !! I've been waiting for this ! Thank you, Thomas !

11:53 True! Even big AAA studios dont make everything from scratch themselves every time. They use middleware like SpeedTree and FMOD. They use Quixel Megascans (even if they don't use Unreal). They reuse common animations between games. They hire contractors and support studios. They use open source code. Trying to do everything yourself is a very poor use of your time.

This video was amazing! Everything was so really clearly explained

[Calen]

This video has been the absolute best in explaining how game development works “for dummies”. I’ve been having a hell of a time understanding how it all works but with this, it provides a whole different approach to game development for me. Thank you for the time and effort you took to make this invaluable explanation video!

I was picking up UE5 at the start of last year when UEFN came out and that's what I learned on an have been successful in, but I just got recommended this video for whatever reason and I wanted to say this is a great overview and I think it's really important to make content like this that demystifies and defines a process. So many people talk about what they want to do but not enough people know how to even start and this could be the push they need. Hope your course is going well.

The clip of the hockey player going airborne at 8:20 was hilarious lol

[calebkrauter]

Thomas be like: games should rarely be made from scratch...
Me: Yah hold that thought I gotta finish this game that is almost completely from scratch XD.
