How I Became a Sea of Thieves Developer

So I somehow accidentally became a Sea of Thieves Developer. Watch me show you what a yeah or C++ programming looks like and how I went from basic console projects to working on Sea of Thieves. It’s a crazy journey where I nearly miss my interview. :)

Dive into my this video, where I take you through a year-long journey of learning C++ from scratch. Experience the ups and downs as I navigate through the complexities of coding, starting with barely any knowledge and gradually honing my skills. Follow along to see how I nearly missed my chance and didn't get the job !

Im just now starting my programming journey at 29 and really hoping to make games some day. I have a lot of catching up to do because I'm a high school dropout (medical/mental problems). Been taking the free CS50x course online and really enjoying it so far. Right now they have us working with C, which is cool. Getting to learn a lot of core fundamental things about programming.

This video was motivating, thanks for that. Best of luck on your journey!

Very rare to find someone that takes so much effort into making the video as dynamic as you do. Awesome stuff!

[Sweepy_Games]

Wow! Congrats!!! I still use lobby from your mirror tutorials haha, crazy to think you have worked at Sea of Thieves!

[GhostfDawn]

dont you hate when you accidentally spend a year in college, do several projects, create a portfolio and apply to hundreds of jobs?

[cintrond]

If you get an in-person interview you basically have the job, at that point companies just want you to meet the team and make sure there's good synergy. Congrats! This is a fantastic story of hard work paying off.

Great Video! Your'e actually motivating me to work more on my projects! Keep the Good Work

I think video perfectly describes how and what you actually need to learn and practice to become a game developer. It's as simple as that.

Make some games at SDL, if needed make game at Unreal Engine/Unity.

More in depth this is really perfect that I didn't find a passion for it. Learning math, graphics and physics programming. And this video perfectly describes what examples of portfolio you need to have

WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE you can apply for a job at any company. Because this is what people/companies expecting from you as a game developer

Wish you luck for future opportunities and don't overwork. Stay healthy!)

Seeing you coming out like this, I have some curiosities:
1. When you developed your first games, did you follow tutorials or figure it out yourself?
2. You mentioned (extensively through the video) that you are primarily cpp dev, then why you tagged c sharp in description?
3. In RARE, do you need to use their choice of language or you have the liberty to choose yourself?
4. What do you advise (language, approach, maths, skills, goals, books, expectations) newbies who are aspirant to join game development professionally?
5. Supposedly if you must switch your career right now, what would that be?
6. What changes are you looking for in the game industry in the next five years?
If you can answer these that would be really helpful.

Congratulations on your internship, wishing you the best from egypt 😊🙌
I have a similar story I already got refused about 15 times till now, and its really motivating seeing someone in my situation and finally achieving his/her target.

thank you, this was very helpful for my own personal journey to know what skills and knowledge I should focus on for a career in the game development industry

I might not be the most regular viewer, but I was here at the beginning, and being able to watch you grow as a developer is such a delight. I'm happy for you. Looking forward to see more of your great work in the future. You are great.

Fantastic Video! Def reminds me of my time getting an internship within the industry back when I graduated.

[sammyjay]

Thanks for sharing this story, I just finished my 3rd year of comp sci and game dev at my university and I'm hoping to start work on some projects for my portfolio! Hearing that something like this could be possible for me is really encouraging. I hope you enjoy your time at Rare! Sea of thieves is such a sick game.

[Chankanta]

This is the most dopest story ever! Thank you for sharing your story ❤️

[rileyhawksworth]

Nice video! You have further motivated me to go to university (after I go to college) in hopes I could have an experience like this!
