A Day in the Life of an Indie Video Game Dev

[@kingbling7571]

Born to be a gym influencer, forced to be a game dev

[@SondaPower]

😂

[@TJGameDev]

truuuuuuuuuue, but I like game dev so its ok haha

[@bucephalusstudios]

Glad to see that you make exercise an important, scheduled part of your day, TJ! I get the feeling that so many devs just slave away and burnout over their keyboards all day.

[@TJGameDev]

Thanks man!

[@danielmattox8318]

I appreciate the in depth explanation you gave on the exercises and why you chose them, great vid!

[@TJGameDev]

Thanks man!

[@ObsessiveGames]

Can just imagine. Set up camera, walk away, walk back to fetch camera, and you even walked far away. (steps reached? 100%) 😅 Then someone taking camera, then TJ fighting the bad guys for his content. Respect

[@TJGameDev]

haha, I was worried about someone yoinking it, luckily it was early enough that there weren't many people out

[@WallDigital_]

Honestly, would love to see more of these vlog style game dev/gym videos !

[@spencerdunn2313]

Bruh the fact that YOU'RE game only has 17 reviews depresses me about my own progress 😮‍💨

[@nnichael]

taking notes: 1. walk to gym 2. walk in gym 3. walk out of gym 4. die on the walk back home

[@FarSam25]

nice job bro keep it up!

[@anthonyjones129]

I feel like a lot of bug fixing is logic puzzles and problem solving, moreso than making a system in the first place. Does that make squashing bugs more satisfying? And do you have a strong preference between making something new or fixing something extant?

[@TJGameDev]

Making something new is definitely more fun, but bug fixing feels great when you get a tricky one resolved

[@bananadev]

Super cool video, I love the videography at the start :)

[@TJGameDev]

Thanks man!

[@dobrx6199]

Also, how did you make that custom script that uploads your builds to steam? I want to make a similar thing but for Unreal Engine

[@TJGameDev]

github.com/Memori-Studios/SteamUploader Heres what it looks liek for unity

[@luckyboy5nu]

good video, starts off immediately, no long intro, easy to follow, good stuff.

[@TJGameDev]

All my homies hate intros

[@Almighty7sStudios]

I thought I was the only game dev that goes to the gym😂 This is really motivating! Most based gamedev!

[@TJGameDev]

Thanks man!

[@curiouspers]

Great video!

[@Astro648]

🔥🔥 great video as always!

[@TJGameDev]

Thanks Astro!

[@TJGameDev]

Thanks for playing!

[@Don-zo3ts]

Make a fitness channel 😊 Great fitness advice 😮

[@TJGameDev]

Maybe one day

[@OliverBeebe]

hey that steam uploader tool looks sweet, i couldn't find it in the description, would appreciate if you could link to it. awesome video!

[@TJGameDev]

github.com/Memori-Studios/SteamUploader Added to description, sorry forgot

[@RichardinSA]

Maybe you already told the story and I missed it... but how are you full time? Did your game sell? Do you have lots of savings? Was curious because I myself am trying to figure out ways to go full time.

[@TJGameDev]

This was a Saturday. Game has made like 500 so far so not exactly enough to do it full time

[@CartV2]

there was like 6 mins of programming followed by working out for the, need to workout inorder to get work done lol:D noticed the setting goal thing in the am tried it for work it really helped thanks bro.

[@TJGameDev]

haha thanks Cart, submit another app today

[@TYNEPUNK]

so you go to the gym, cook, and now and again do a tiny bit of game dev :) always wondered why indie devs need to be muscle men who are expert chefs.

[@TJGameDev]

haha yeah idk how to make sitting at my computer wondering why my game doesnt work for hours interesting content

[@3bomb]

GOOD WORK!!!

[@TJGameDev]

Thanks 3bomb! Long time no see hope you’re doing well

[@LL-nv8vx]

hey man, did you drop the tavern game or are you still working on it?

[@TJGameDev]

No, sorry I am no longer working on it

[@SecretZoneGames]

Clicked for game dev content - stayed for gym content

[@TJGameDev]

Thanks man! Hope you enjoyed it

[@JustinSixVideos]

Hey any chance you can post the link for the script for uploading the new build to steam from unity? nice hustle in the gym! I'm the healthiest I've been and can finally do pull ups for the first time in my life, but still a long way to go myself.

[@TJGameDev]

github.com/Memori-Studios/SteamUploader Sorry, forgot to add it to the description, its there now. Awesome man!!!!!! Great start just be consistent for a few months and youll be shocked at the changes

[@Cussmem07]

Maybe I missed it but, how do you make the ends meet?

[@TJGameDev]

This was a saturday lol. Im a unity dev during the week

[@ZooHair]

Why the gym is so empty 😮

[@TJGameDev]

Weekends at 5. It’s packed during the week

[@ZooHair]

@@TJGameDev i thought a gym this empty would be a blast to workout in

[@spencerdunn2313]

Bruh i wake up starving how you not eat first thing

[@Thomas-qc2dc]

I’ve got those same shoes

[@TJGameDev]

Hokas!

[@leemclafferty5622]

So you make enought money to not work? That would be cool. I go to work for 9 -10 hours gym and then bed. It sucks only having 1ish day to work on games.

[@TJGameDev]

Nah this was a saturday, I work during the week

[@leemclafferty5622]

@@TJGameDev Dang, I hope you get there bud.

[@myk3l9675]

1632 pounds is a lot!

[@ginfizz111]

Just watching the first minute I can already tell you have massive real life latency issues, you are lagging like crazy. How can you live like that?

[@TJGameDev]

dont worry Comcast said they'd fix it

[@DennisDenchoDenchyaknow]

Mode code, less workouts

[@TJGameDev]

No

[@Agrinddandi]

A sad sad day. Watch me lift weights. Why? For what? The most it day ever. Sit behind computer, overcompensate with body looks. Empty. Why do you do it? Not the job, but hollow typical muscle workout after? Break the mirror

[@countotuscany7061]

you good bro?

[@Agrinddandi]

@@countotuscany7061 sup empty man?

[@chikenpotpi]

and?

[@eduardobarboza9499]

As long as the dude works on his mind too, there's nothing wrong with keeping your body as healthy as possible. This is something every human being should do.

[@TJGameDev]

You should give it a shot man, you'd feel a lot better with a little bit of movement even if its just playing a sport
