I always wonder how game developers can learn so many skills quickly. They have to be able to model, make art, do sound design, code (some of the time) and so much more. I'm going to university for game design and development and, honestly, having to be able to do all this is fucking terrifying. I'm certain that 3 years is not long enough to learn all this.

[@christopherwashi]

I try to have fun when learn something new and then I can practice and refine it. Its great to start learn some stuff now. Game jams are cool for this

[@nox5282]

They make prototypes, they use ready made models or make very simple ones so they can show their vision. Then they foundrise to hire more developers to make their game into reality. For a solo game developer making a full game is not very realistic, like minecraft was possible cause of the very simple first version. Lookup how first version of facebook looked like for example.

[@selindoga]

But we love that terrifying process😏

[@gengargang4510]

I know this comment it 2 years old but you don't need to learn all of this at all. You can specialize in a specific area you like programming, art, or writing, and stick to that. You will be working with a team on most instances, I wouldn't recommend being a solo developer because of the toll it takes and how counterproductive it is. However, if you want to learn multiple skills you totally can, just be aware that it is NOT necessary to learn all of these skills to be a game designer or developer. You typically specialize.

[@NoOne-wz2ht]

how was the 3 years

[@ShadowDAB0SS]

This video couldn't have come at a better time. I decided to participate in my first Game Jam this year and was looking for some pointers. I'm super excited!

I really got into gamejamming during corona-caused-social-distancing, and I use your tutorials often during jams to solve some programming issues if I have any :D

it looked similar to roblox studio. it's like in beetween. the best things about them is multiplayer comes easy.

[@JelleVermandere]

Game jams are definitely my favourite way to create new games! You always learn something new that you will use somewhere in the future!

even though i dont make games i still enjoy u making them and showing you how to make them and that is why im going to start making a game and i am going to watch all your tutorials!!!

[@aruwaurachi9649]

Just starting using Unity, eager to be skilled enough to participate in a game jam ! :)

[@nox5282]

Why wait? Why not give it your best shot, even if the game sucks it will be experience. Save it, and then try again. Honestly if you just did weekly game jams for a year you would become a much better developer than most. Theory is not that useful, you pick up much more when you are doing projects over and over. Take it from someone who spent 10 years with theory.

[@unitydevtutorial7730]

This is nice, I'm really looking forward for Game Jam just wanna know how far I can go.And Brackeys your are making awesome videos.

[@MrCarlosfera]

I'm here to say thank you, I always tried to jump into game design, but never found some good tutorials. As I future Eletric Engineer I hope to be better at progamming as you are.

[@nox5282]

You think to much, you hope to much. Sit down and write some code, make a game. Does not matter if you dont know how, make some object move. Make something, everyday save everything so you can monitoring your progress. Stop thinking unless you are thinking about how to solve a specefic problem. Make a simulation to show the electric field calculated from the basic rules you know. Dont waste your life hoping, make it happen.

Hey dude, your videos are so super helpful. Have you ever considered doing another engine? You're such a unique and shining beacon of guidance in the game dev world, and I think you could get some great response with basic tutorials in like unreal or cryengine too! Maybe convert some of your early tutorials into those engines. Either way, keep up the good work.
