This video is slightly different than usual, but I thought I'd share the day in my life as a game developer student. I think this can be particularly interesting as I'm both a student and game developer while not being able to study in person. Over this year I had to study everything online and I wanted to share what I do in a day. Hopefully this video gives you can insight of what its like studying at university while also creating content and being a developer/programmer. If you did like this video I would very much appreciate it if you gave it a like, that lets me know if you want more videos like this in the future.

i watch your game dev videos

[@Seedx]

What keycaps are those?

[@ZygerGFX]

@@Seedx its just the ones that came with the keyboard which is the hi75 leobog nimbus v3

[@fahd2372]

I appreciate the honesty in this video, most day in the life videos on youtube people will portray a superficial lifestyle, we've all seen parodies of those videos so props to you for keeping it real

[@liswifi]

The painted wall at 0:58 was my student housing when I was in uni!! Kinda jarring to see my exact same food trip to Lidl from first person POV in a KZbin video.

[@khaledelezzaby9120]

I would 100% watch more vlogs like this one. Very well made and cozy and..... relatable

[@khaledelezzaby9120]

also reading through the comments of most of your videos i've noticed you've built a pretty awesome community. maybe a discord server would be a good idea

[@ashtonkusmaul6907]

Need to change the habit of waking up at 10 to 11am me here in the habit of waking up at 3-5pm 😂

[@nuduw]

Very refreshing to watch a realistic day in the life video with a bit of silliness scattered here and there.

[@CinoPino]

it's actually mad that we go to the same uni, but I didn't even know that our uni has physical books I thought it was everything online 💀

[@bamboooooooooooo]

love the insights, seems like a chilled life :)

[@razor.2.rosary]

2:28 YEEEAAAH GUITAR i've been doing this for just under 3 years, it's a blast!

[@DarthMerlin]

[@AQW9111]

Love your videos! You've inspired me to make a steam game! Just a couple of more months, give or take, then i'll release it!

[@ZygerGFX]

[@RobLang]

Superb video laced with wonderful honesty. Have a wonderful Christmas, see you in 2025!

[@ZygerGFX]

[@huandrew3874]

[@Maxigames_hd]

[@Nicky17h]

[@TecnocraciaLTDA]

Hiiii Zygerrrr

[@Ash-qp2yw]

Man, I miss the uk student life. Sure, I have actual money now, but at uni ther was more time to do whatever I wanted. :p

[@Programmingwithrohit]

May i know exactly what study she is doing for game development

[@Talal1.0]

I have a challenge for you , the challenge is to make a game using BSP (binary space partitioning)

[@Kamguyzascapybara]

Can you make a Graphic demonstration on Unity because I'm new at unity

[@FrameCheats]

oh i thought thay you man 😂

[@fineman1064]

Just wondering. What's your opinion on linux?

[@trillobit3sIndieGames]

❤

[@NatronixNin]

ig the game is inspired from the anime: berserk of gluttony

[@davideventurini7764]

YOU GOT COFFEE IN A BOTTLE???

[@MezyPez]

You can't? That is normal in Britain...

[@davideventurini7764]

@MezyPez no, in Italy there is no such thing

[@manoyal]

Im also game development student in the Netherlands but my C++ skills suck so bad, i am struggling to integrate bullet physics to my opengl project 😢😢

[@ZettaiKatsu2013]

try something more enjoyable after you finish this project, like with GameMaker or Godot

[@manoyal]

@@ZettaiKatsu2013 uhh cant do that really, in uni we are mostly focusing on C++ and AAA development, we might use unreal later but mostly doing everything low-level in C++, we have to make own engine/ renderer later as well

[@ZettaiKatsu2013]

@@manoyal 😅😢😢good luck

[@YashShahi-bb5ld]

can i ask why you prefer reading from books rather than searching on internet about what you need. Stuff regarding programming is more well presented, explained and more precise on the internet i feel. And if you dont understand what you read in a book, you have to pick another one, whereas on the net you're just a search away. Just asking what you think, not coitizing, love your videos!!

[@PercivalNkosi-jk2bd]

"coitizing" funny typo

[@4F6D]

Hi german here, Lidl is pronounced "Leedel"

[@Ari-pq4db]

Nice

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

Seeing this makes me realise I don't miss student life at all. For starters, I have a car and I'm not hugely bothered about food prices. I also bought a guitar over 20 years ago, still have it, still absolutely horrible at it. Never put the effort in, and since then, have a (well controlled) medical condition which means I can't play as fast anyway.

[@Yairsub]

Good job you go outside

[@zeiprone348]

what's your major

[@ZygerGFX]

Computer games programming

[@rovshenhojayev1843]
