On a sad note, but I'm happy to find your channel. I wish you best in your life, and that you will be able to to share good things on your channel. And not be forced to abandon it due money. Game Dev is cool. Always wanted to go into that, but life is complicated. Who knows, maybe in years you and Shad will be able to make a collaboration every now and then. Wish you both the best. And hopefully younger generations will learn to appreciate longer and higher quality videos not just short clickbait brain rot "content".

Best wishes man and thanks for giving us an explanation. I appreciate your honest and drama free explanation. I hope you are able to make ends meet and save for the future.

This generation whines way too much.

Don't know why I'm getting this video recommended to me half a year late, but wishing you well in your pursuits, Nathan! Game dev is an interest of mine, too; I might check in now and again. Glad to hear it's a separation on good terms.

Oh cool, I'm a backend game engineer and it was a surprise hearing you push in that direction. Best of luck and good thinking to target general software dev over specifically game dev. That's what I did and after half a decade I gave game dev a shot and been at this for two years now!

I hope you follow Shad and write a book, preferably in fantasy.

I played daemon masquerade recently and I really enjoyed it! I also love obra dinn and golden idol, and this game is a great addition into that sort of, story-rich deduction genre of games

Australians dont deserve the housing crisis they have.

Hey you might already know this but in case it helps cuz you mentioned your integrated graphics, you can toggle realtime rendering in the viewport in unreal from the tab in the top left(first option) or ctrl + r. It disables any animations like vfx or moving materials but I can literally hear my fans slow down when I toggle it. Hope it helps :)

Im gonna assume shads mysterious drops in veiwership are the main problem here. As someone who has watched him for along time ive actively seen it videos thats should be high veiws werent.

Oof. You moved to Melbourne because of cost of living.

Cost of living in Australia is ridiculous, I've been working as a mechanical engineer for 10+ years and I though I was doing ok, but now I'm a few rent increases away from not being able to afford rent anywhere near my work! How did we get to this point?

The craziest Irony is that this video has more views than anything Shad has put out in a long time. That algorithm is wild.

Generative AI is a good TOOL. But it won't replace Human devs.

One use of AI should be to eliminate the need for Humans to find bugs and glitches so they can ficus on other sides of testing like giving feedback on how good the combat is or if movement feels off.

Good luck with everything, mate.

Shad is such a pompous smug prick, good on you for escaping his toxicity

Good luck man, keep after it.

So I actually only know shady from taping those swords together. I was really hoping this would be more gossipy. Like: The double sword came unglued and killed my wife's cat. Or something like that

Shet reason from a shet creator with shet values. "Yeah, me boss is a fascist. I dig that, i like him a lawt. But he don't pay me none, so i gotta jet, yeah?" Fahk awf.

I might not understand a lot of the KZbin stuff because I've never held a job like that. However, five plus days a week commute I fully understand. An hour drive one way is just to much unless the job pays so well that it is worth all the downsides that come with it.

It was Gabe.

Shad is a drama queen.

My advice would be to do that BEFORE you quit. I have seen many burnt by this. As an SE I can tell you, that you don't need to waste your money on college to learn the craft unless you do Embedded, Building Automation or Industrial Automation. I would suggest you clarify your path first, try things that are working out and then leave. You can do both, there's no excuse. If you want to do SE, the video games industry is not the place. Go embedded first and transition later.

Sad story, but shads channel already struggles to pull in enough revenue due to YT meddling so its inevitable that people would eventually bail due to money. Glad you left on good terms. Shads genuinely a good guy.

I am not a dev, but when you mentioned how much you loved blueprints and how the system screams at you when you made a mistake, it reminded me when I was working on how to use CAD for making patterns for clothes. At first, I wasn't paying attention and then when I noticed how bad my grades were, I tried to follow the instructions a little better but it was still hard to get it right. My point is that making mistake on CAD are very easy to make because of how flexible the system is

True TLDR: There was no ill-will. It was always planned to be temporary. That's really it

I felt you. I miss browser games. Its so nostalgic and was very convient. Sometimws you just wanted to quickly pick up a game and start playing. Thats why I played them so much.

Alright, but I think it would be nice if you could clarify early on or in the title that this isn't an exposé or the beginning of an Internet feud. I think that's what a lot of us thought going in because of how many of those we've seen in recent years.

Thanks for showing us the behind the scenes of how games are basically done and good luck on your next project

2:53 the fun part

54 21 go lol

dude is too underrated

Its real??

Make it VR :)

Didn’t Fancy (the creator of Escape the Backrooms) already do this 3 years ago?

10:25 well your first mistake was using UE5 to begin with, pretty sure that in and of itself counts as a lack of optimization for a game like this lol. Using a smaller loghter engine like godot would have been a way better choice since you arent really using most of ue5s graphical features anyway so the game is already going to be way b8gger and resource intensive than it needs to be

Rent is too damn high!

PRASE THE EMPEROR!

Well this video was kinda dissapointing, couodve just delayed it.

nice?!

Awesome work man! Good to see you've joined the dark side 😈

awesome stuff man! Good to see you crushing it ;)

I played it, after collecting two pages I somehow run/glitched though the forrest and were able to jump of the map.
