Do you have a Twitter handle? Been following a few weeks because I love how passionate you are about gamedev and it keeps me motivated to keep learning

[@SpaceDodo]

Hey thanks!!! I'm thinking of making one, I'll let you know!

[@SpaceDodo]

This is Stephen's new channel, and I think you'll like it! kzbin.info/door/O3f5hzA4S6CLw3A7Luhjiw

And here I thought the channel was focused on Vegas tutorials.

[@SpaceDodo]

All That's on Tech Dive AV club now!

[@alantuttphotography]

@@SpaceDodo Looks like I subscribed to both channels. In any case, best wishes for whatever direction you plan to go.

[@aaronmarko]

As someone who just came across your channel randomly I came here from the video of you talking about why people find it so difficult to get into gamedev. I'm not sure what to suggest based on that information but there you go

[@SpaceDodo]

Thanks for watching! Hope you find. Few more videos you like here!

[@owensoft]

I actually cant remember what you previous channel was about. when did I subscribe?

[@SpaceDodo]

It was mainly tech reviews till about a year ago

If it's not too personal I'd like to know how you do XR development professionally? Do you work for a company as an employee or do you find freelance gigs? Have any of your personal games turned a profit yet?

[@SpaceDodo]

I work for a company! I've made some chump change. Some things are free.

​@@SpaceDodo Did you build a portfolio to get hired or were you able to leverage your previous tech job experience? I'm a beginner in Unreal Engine trying to make my first commercial game, just wondering what kind of experience is enough for someone to hire me for game dev & VR stuff.

[@SpaceDodo]

Every employer is different. I work for a smaller company, like 15ish people. I'd guess my tech experience was a big badge to prove job experience and the ability to learn the nitty gritty of tech, but I'd wager having a few small but functional exported vr projects I made (not just a clone of a tutorial) really made them feel like I could bill for the work. Edit: So seeing a comptia tech cert as a developer is comforting to an employer, but having actually proof you can do the job they need done is the real sauce.
