I am a bit in the same situation.

I started looking at unity for more than a month now and it is fun but it is hard to learn new stuff after 12 hours at the factory :( I can only look for about 30 minutes to an hour if I am not that tired. If I am tired I just skip it since it will not be efficient.

I've been working in game dev for 4.5+ years and it seems the best job offers comes not from HRs / tech interviewers / skill evaluations, but the people that just understand what exact people they need in their team and just invite you over. At least from my experience in east Europe. Also, when comparing your UK College/University experience to what we have in east Europe, you are in a intergalactic space age.

It is a fantastic way to live. And remember, Attitude is and always will be the number 1 maker or breaker of ALL you do. Good luck to you all!

Well well well, I think I need to give my thoughts too. I am studying Computer Science too and my first-year of school was recently finished, so I could say I have ~2 months of free time before leveling up to second-year. Before going to college, I really prefer to take a course about game development immediately, but there is no game development in my poor city that is offered in here for cheap, it was offered by "private" schools that jesus christ takes a big amount of money to pay, so I choose Computer Science. Even though I am studying Computer Science, I really do not care about other subjects, I just really "focused' on learning a programming language as possibly as I can, and that's what I am doing, oh, the teachers here seems "uh oh" a little bit 🤣 So yeah, I am currently focusing on fundamentals of programming language, then I will start to learn to make few programs, then after weeks of doing it, I will now try to solve given problems from the internet daily... and on 2023, I hope I am well immersed and confident from C# that I am ready to take the next exCITING!!! part which is installing Unity and experiment there! IF and ONLY IF my parents will buy me a strong laptop in the future. If they cannot buy it "yet" then looks like I will just focus on learning game development courses without having Unity to practice. Also I want to learn Blender too, because it's very cool making your own objects and make it alive! So... I think while studying your Computer Science, try to study game design/development by yourself if you still have time 🧐🤔

I'm a first year Software Engineering student but this is definitely inspiring. This entire first year has felt like everything I want to do is just out of grasp (including a lot of my assignments) it's incredibly discouraging but that's what teaches us and pushes us to grow. I've gone from zero coding knowledge to being able to build console applications (albeit basic ones) in a matter of 6 months. That's honestly really impressive and this video was a welcome reminder to appreciate where I started.

I just have to add that I can tell your school was really good! I was in a game development program and, despite being fairly design oriented, we never really had profs who said stuff like "Make a game/project with these requirements" "Go out and play games and get inspired' And other small things like that. I think that our school was just far too generalized, trying to cover coding, 2d art, 3d art, music, and design all into a 3 year course with a focus on team projects. Doesn't help that we had a lot of electives that didn't really help us :( Anyways, now that I'm working full time, its going to be really hard to catch your streams 😔 it was already hard to catch them, but now it feels impossible

Here in Aus it's very similar. I've gone 3 degrees (diploma/bach/grad dip, now masters) trying to break into the games industry and build a skill base as a designer/programmer. In my bachelors I was given the opportunity to build something with other designers only twice. Since then I have been plodding along alone and have been struggling to find what is good practice, what don't I know enough of (which I feel is a lot) or how to better myself when the courses I am paying for don't quite pan out in the direction they're pitched as.

I started going to a game development college very recently since i have always been interested in how games are made. I have several prior years of experience with c, c++ and c# which has been really helpful. I must say this video gives me so much hope for the future and that i'll be able to get my dream job when i graduate!

I have been a web and applications software engineer for 26 years. I just started my game dev journey about 3 months ago. I did not realize how much I didn't know till I got started. The only game development I had that I would really qualify would be the the MUD that my buddies and I built in C++ back in 1998-2000 but that was a console based application. So far I am enjoying the process and starting to feel like I missed my calling and should have gotten started in Game Dev 20 years ago and I most likely would have enjoyed my time coding instead of getting to the point that I dread doing my day job and now just look forward to my nights in Unreal Engine 5, VS 2022, and blender. If you ever had time I'd love to have a chat and pick your brain.

Hey Robert! I would be happy to chat sometime, apologies for the immense delay in response, I guess I wasn’t quite ready for this video to blow up… You can message me on discord if you’re still interested in picking my brain. I hope you’ve been enjoying your time in unreal 🙏🏼

I'm a high school student who really wants to become a game developer in the future. I found your videos one of the most inspiring ones on the internet, and I'm so glad someone would share how they become a game developer from scratch. I am really motivated by how hard-working you are, and I finally have a better view of my dream career. I really enjoy your videos and am very excited to see more!

I don't if you know the Sidemen but they played your golf game. I regularly watch the Sidemen and this video had popped up in my recommended. When I saw you show the game I shocked to have a coincidence like this. Absolutely unimaginable! Great job btw!!!

Going to college this year. I live in a country with no (not small, nonexistent) game development scene. I'm going to study CS, because it's a good foundation, and then I'll teach myself game dev and try to snatch up some remote jobs before travelling to other countries. Hopefully it'll work out. If not, I can just do indie on the side of a full time job, which would be alright. This video was very inspirational, thanks

I started programming because of my love for games. After many years, I have moved more into quantitative analysis because of the love of math (and statistics) that I gained while learning game programming. I hated maths when I was in school because I never understood a practical application past the basics. So it's crazy that I diverted from games to this.

I've seen that Alumni list at the start of the year, they love talking about it lmao Edit: This is actually brilliant, last friday we just had Coconut Lizard visit us and I talked to two of their developers who you could have possibly worked with at some point
