I have a few tips myself: 1. Come up with a basic idea; you don't want to overshoot 2. Doodle around with your idea on paper to see what your game might look like 3. Begin making your game piece by piece to make sure things can work 4. Start putting the pieces together, and save often 5. Once you have a core game, build onto it one step at a time *I should probably listen to my advice XD*

NR 1 TIP: MAKE BACKUPS. yup, do it.

[@ZiRR0]

I suggest (if you don't know how to use Unity yet) that after you got the idea, start working on it in Scratch.mit.edu. It's for kids but I kid you not that's where I got my interest in making games and got good at it. Sadly you can't export it to a file that doesn't need Scratch itself. But you can convert it though.

Step 0 - if you really want to become a game developer brace yourself. A huge commitment is needed.

[@UMessis]

That's with any profession you'd want to work in tho. You'll never succeed at anything if you're not committed.

[@randomfriction7231]

@@UMessis No man, that's what the government is for.

[@chickentim8505]

Very true.

[@kryllion]

I disagree with this. Do not look at "becoming a game developer" as a massive undertaking that requires a huge commitment. Taking this approach will likely as not lead to being overwhelmed and giving up. Instead, look at small things you can do in one day. Don't ask yourself "can I really commit years of hard work and learning to make a career?", just ask yourself "Can I follow a tutorial for how to draw a button in Gimp?" or "Can I spend a weekend following a tutorial to learn how to create an RPG inventory system in C#?" If you don't enjoy these things, then development is probably not something you will enjoy. If you do enjoy doing them, and you start your own project - congratulations, you are a game developer! You may not have a paying job as a developer - and honestly, you may not want one. Many great developers did their work as hobbies and projects before they were able to sell their work and turn their hobby into a career.

[@MR3DDev]

I teach Game Art at a small community college and I must say I agree with you. DO NOT get student loans to study game design, either pay cash or get scholarships, the chances of getting a fulltime job are very small unless you are really good, and if you are really good you'll be hired with no schooling.

[@indieprogress7170]

Good advice!

Thank you, I'm looking into community college for it, but I'm not going to get loans. There is a grant that may cover all of it and yes, I hope to get that but otherwise, I'll just pay for it. My friend is graduating debt free next year and he's going to assist me in the process.

[@CurtisJensenGames]

I'm impressed by your honesty! You improved my view of professors :) I may study game design at a school sometime, but for now I'm getting an associates in IT and building up capital until I can go Indie. What do you think of that plan? Also, shameless plug: curtis-jensen.itch.io ;)

That applies on the state side but in asia they hired mostly with a diploma. Even if you have lots of experience in the said field its still a 50/50 chances getting hired here. Its sad.

[@mcpt4196]

Games were my first passion in life. I'v spent... i don't know. Years? A lot of time, playing videogames ( ALL KIND OF !!!) i simply loved games, no matter what kind. Whan i was 18 (or arround it) i was thinking a lot about doing videogames and study to increase my knowledge. First started practicing on phyton (to learn the coding basics), then installed unity and unreal on my pc. I had no clue on wich was the best. Explored them a bit, even Blender (that i agree, is really awesome for 3D even knowing it was a bit complex). Then i stopped... I simply abandoned that, dream. I remember getting a job and just found a new passion that completely made me change my mind about my future. Yet today (studying marketing, that i know is really important for any company or project you may have planned) watching this video... it reminded me about those dreams. Maybe one day i give it a try again. But yeah, what i wanna say is "Thank You" for your video. It really made me think about some things and old dreams. =D

[@stewale]

Good luck, mate. I hope this journey of yours will come to bloom someday.

[@deathknightsolo]

Till I was 18 I had never thought that game design could be a viable career. As an Indian, you don’t get encouraged to pursue something like this. I had the same feelings as you and did exactly what you did. Left it in between. I’m 21 now, I don’t know how it happened or how I was presented this opportunity, but I’m currently pursuing my dream as a game designer and 3D asset creator. I sometimes think that I did not make the right choice, but then try to remember the feeling of exploring a world no one has ever seen before. And I try to keep fighting on. This profession is hard, but I’m not stopping till I absorb all of it.

I'm in the same situation mate. I feel you. I wanted to create games since I was 7 and make money from it in the future but here am I, graduated in Engineering but can't find a freaking job cause I hate it. My parents advised me that I should pursue being an Engineer and when the time comes that we have enough money to sustain our family and then I can do whatever I want. Yep, sounds like a good plan but for me... It kinda makes me depressed. I need to sacrifice my one and only dream for the sake of our survival. I want to cry right now ahahha :D

[@skabop47]

Good luck man!

[@mikaxms]

Here's my list of what it is actually like to make a game: 1. Pick one of the ideas you have. 2. Start working on the game (epic). 3. Realise it is a lot harder to make than you originally thought. 4. Come up with a lot of new game ideas. 5. Decide to continue with the current project or go back to step 1. 6. Polish the game 7. Market the game (this is probably to most horrible step). 8. Launch the game

I'm 34 now and I've decided to finally chase my dream, and the only way to start is to dive back in to the tools and get creating.

[@division137]

Thank you Thomas, I didn't follow you for long, however I always find myself coming back to you as you are the only one that gives advice that I can use. Unlike other channels that teach despite not having a game made , you just sit down and tell about what and how and why to keep working on video games. I'm quite in a rough spot as of right now, however your videos keep me in the loop of adding one more brick despite how sick or tired one might feel when developing a game, and this is coming from somebody who struggles with overmotivation and procrastination.

[@waberoid]

I went to school for game design and I think it helped me quite a bit. It helped me get a grasp and understanding on how to tell a story of a game. From the characters to the levels to just small objects scattered around. It helped me get an idea on how the pipeline works and has worked for years. I can say though, usually studios do not look for a degree (they will say it's a bonus though) because they prefer talent over education.

Hi Thomas, Illustrator is vector-based, while Photoshop is pixel based. So Illustrator will be really slow when the art is complicated, but PTS doesn't have this problem. No matter how complicated the art is, PTS only needs to store a layer of pixels, which is really just an array of number. So the only limitation for PTS is the number of layers, and an average computer can usually support hundreds without significant problems.

[@robj7481]

I taught myself Assembly 30 years ago, C++ 5 years ago, and now I’m coding in Swift. I’m pretty intuitive about figuring things out and my knowledge level grows really fast. I go from knowing nothing to writing a multi-game menu driven gaming system... BUT, I can tell you the pitfall I sometimes have, it’s “I don’t know, what I don’t know.” For this reason, the initial deciphering of new coding skills can be tricky. To be good at coding, you REALLY need a naturally logical and analytical mind. As for sounds, I have a large library of sounds and I use Sound Forge for creating sounds. And I HIGHLY RECOMMEND royalty free sites for music, AudioSparx is one. You pay a one time reasonable fee and you get UNLIMITED use of the music with no royalties.

"Hey, Mr Writer, what do you write your scripts in?" "Word" "Ok, so if I want to be a writer, I should just learn Word?" "What?" Most of this video was about tools. It was not about "Steps To Start Making Games". Learning Unreal or Unity or Audacity or Photoshop or all of the above does not get you started making games. Steps 1-3 where all "learn these tools", and then step 4 was beta testing?! There are a few steps missing here. How about planning a game out? Prototyping? Design architecture? Managing feature creep while also keeping mechanics interesting? That's quite a game to just not address. Tools don't make the game developer. IMHO, if you can't figure out what tool to use for a given task, you're in pretty big trouble right out the gate.

your comment is click bait

[@MistaSparx]

To start writing, you need a pen and paper (or Word.) For a lot of people, that do want to make games, they would have an idea. I know I do. But they might not know how to even start. This video was for them. Games are art, and you don't need a guide to start drawing, writing, making music and that extends to games as well. If hitting you head against a wall because you can't figure out how to make your character jump (I've been there) makes you want to quit, then perhaps you aren't actually as interested in making games as you thought. I found, through all my creative endeavors, that as long as I kept myself motivated I didn't need a guide as long as I knew what tools to use and where/how to distribute my work. It's the same as when people get upset at "How To Make KZbin Videos" tutorials not explaining what to write in their script for their game review, that's your process, a problem for you to solve. There are no cheat codes to game design or any other creative medium. You figure out what you want to make, and start doing it. After hours of doing it, you'll have your own process for how to plan, prototype, etc. When I wanted to make music, I googled "How to make music on my computer" and found FL Studio, watched a 10 minute tutorial on how it worked, and just started doing it. I had no prior music theory knowledge and didn't know how to play any instruments at all. I just knew I wanted to make songs so I started experimenting for hours and hours and now I am pretty good at it, in my own way. You're not wrong, he could explain his process, but that won't work for everyone. Find your own way man, be your own bird... or whatever.

To the people who complain about unity for its lack of graphical capabilities... What are you going on about?

If you spend 5 mins installing the post processing stack and you use some quality models you make make AA level graphics that rival if not beat unreal. I don't mind what platform you use but please stop putting 1st time devs off because of a non existant issue but for everyone else you do you.

[@magnusm4]

Plus if you're a small developer. Good graphics is the least of your concerns. It's better to focus the visual part to art and a unique style. You don't need much just stylize it like Psychonauts or Sly Cooper. Plus more graphics means less performance and optimizing post development is a pain

[@benwatki]

Dustpanda - yeah, the HDPR was only added within the last year or so. To be honest I am currently using cryengine (because I got fed up with the hugely long baking times in unity compared to where everything is real-time in cryengine) but I still feel for beginners that unity teaches you a lot about the process of game development and you can get good results, if you know what your doing. A couple of years ago this wasn’t the case (real-time shadows were a pro only feature) but recently unity has made some games that have truly blown me away.

A simple job search for entry level game programmer will turn up 90% of results expecting you have demonstratable experience with C++ (usually some arbitrary year requirement like 2+ years) and maybe list UE4 as a bonus or a requirement.

This has been the best video for me go get a grasp and scope to start learning how to make games.

[@CM-bq9hw]

This video was really straight forward and helpful, thank you!

[@bayrock1337]

FL Studio is amazing for sound design.

[@Player-kg1ds]

Audacity too

[@Calucig]

Awesome! What about Gadot?

[@TransmentalMe]

Awesome video man, a lot of good points and it's reassuring to hear!

[@edgargomes4803]

Thank you very much! I realy need it.

[@mevenant1943]

When I work on a project, sometimes I feel that I don’t have what it takes, or I feel I don’t know the knowledge I need ( for eg. Art or programming knowledge) to make the game that I care about from my heart. So it holds me back from working on the project and progressing towards the art piece I want to present the world. How can I minimize feeling like this and work on my game, even with the fear I have?

[@nada-zl9rs]

Feel the same way

[@jeboteya5489]

Think of it as a work of your own personal art. Your craft. Don't worry about releasing it until it is ready. You will learn valuable skills along the way.

[@aronlinde1723]

Almost all of us feel that way. You push through it and learn what you need to complete the task. After a while you get better at gauging the amount you need to learn.

[@RialuCaos]

Start small and learn things one step at a time. If you try to consider everything at once, you will become overwhelmed and not do anything.

I’ve been wanting to start making games for a long time and I think this will give me a good start, thank you

[@pettycow635]

hey hi, i wanted some friends to share knowledge and experience about game developing, since you and me wanted to start a game developing, would you mind being my friend, how can i PM you?

[@daniyaljalili5466]

Hey i am a first time viewer, really appreciated and many thanks this video. im 30 and i remember playin games since 5, i remember my passion and ideas for making game when i was 17 ...i also remember i gave up my dream because there was nothing as resource & any way of access to knowledge on this route in a third world country recently i made up my mind and realized : END UP DYING WITH "NOTHING",BUT DOING WHAT YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT , IS MUCH BETTER THAN HAVE "SOMETHING" FOR KEEP DOING YOU DON'T LIKE . i want start modeling and practicing on game industry... as our friend told he is working more than ten years, i think i will be qualified to make game in my 40's XD thank you for your advise Thomas Brush...I'll subscribe for more helps

[@edwinkinyanjui1054]

this a great video for beginner gamedevs

[@odobee1760]

Hey Thomas do you have any tips for 8 bit or 16 bit games? thanks!

[@safwat_adi]

following :)

[@JaredHaer]

Interesting, what do you want to make? Also, what would be some examples of some 8 bit or 16 bit games you like or are inspired by?

[@Midaspl]

For all 2d graphics I'd use SFML for C++ TBH.

[@darodism]

Damn bro. You actually inspired me to continue and tackle this in another way. I was going to do the tutorials and etc on unity and go with my Idea for my first game balls deep. Considering that Unity programming is now easier than ever for coding, it is so user friendly and well even then going for 3d low poly game would still be to much for me that I felt like almost giving up... My idea now is to just get photoshop, transfer those ideas into 2d form and hopefully continue on with simplistic execution of my ideas but at the same time overall amazing. Thank you.

[@Chronomatrix]

This vid is just what I need right now, been making my first 2D game for about 6 months and this inspires me to keep up. Thank you.

[@FeatKanye]

hey, so what program did you use to make Coma? I first played it when i was 9 (now 14) and i want to be able to get into making games, and i want to start with something small like coma. Thanks Thomas!

[@FeatKanye]

@@emmakristineleesland1286 Oh Heck yeah. I already got unity. Time to get started!

[@Nathankinamorh]

Video Copilot .net and Film Riot are great communities for free sound effects and 3d compositing assets for AE and blender.

[@RamDragon32]

Those two sources were responsible for getting me through my own art schooling, and I can't believe I keep forgetting about them! Great sources, and thanks for the reminder.

[@prabhakardeep5921]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GUIDING

[@steliosstavropoulos499]

Man I just started with unreal and I am in love with it! With the new update that has moddeling and uv tools its amazing! Also in engine animations!! I havent worked with unity yet. But megascans, metahumans... epic is killing it man.

[@BeardedDev90]

Hey Thomas. What are your thoughts on Godot? Have you looked into it at all. I'm thinking of using it for a 2D game.

[@oakmage]

I just started coding and designing a 3D game in Godot and love it. I hear it's excellent for 2D games too.
