What Happened To Dani (And Other Game Devs)

So, let's talk about the elephant in the room. Recently, some game dev KZbinrs kinda' stopped posting videos.

One might think he would pin this.

How about the David RB controversy?

[@Rhidayah]

Dani has been murdered by Mitsue

[@fizzer_za]

If I remember correctly Dani's game called "Muck" had an achievement where you had to wishlist Karlson to get the achievement.

[@InternationalUnionOfJasonWhite]

dani is on a quest to find the best milk in the entire universe and won't return until he finds it.

Man you're right.... didn't even think of this

Lmao this was so funny

Idk why he hasn't found me yet

[@ranpergames]

this guy manages to plug his channel everywhere 😭@@1actose

[@ExpensivePizza]

I have zero problem with KZbinrs using their channel to get wishlists. They're doing the work and deserve the reward. But running a channel is hard and inevitably leads to burnout eventually. The upside is that when they stop, there's room in the market for others to come along.

[@pterafier]

As someone who's moved on from success on KZbin I can say 100% that burnout is real and it's SO EASY to start hating making videos, even when they were so fun and worked so well in the beginning. Definitely don't feel bad about taking time away or retiring completely, just make sure you're honest with yourself! It's easy to let that monthly check sway your perception on what's best for you. As long as you believe in whatever choice you're making, it's the right one. Stay or go, you've made an impact and that'll never change!

[@saiyedbeckham]

Hi thomas, knew ur exhausted. But being greedy i wish you keep uploading ur content to channel. Its u who kept me positive to keep on working on my game n m sure for many subscribers too.

[@thomasbrush]

Hahah I will. Just tired but satisfied.

[@BijonM]

a very down to earth realistic video, thank you thomas. if you do take a break, i'll be waiting for your return!

[@fishbits7628]

Ive gotta say this... Your the most inspirational game dev youtuber ive ever came across. Your pure talent snd format to how you upload and the way you come across is unmatched by any other youtuber and im confident to say any other youtuber in the future. Ive played all your games and they are incredible and im extreemly excited to play twisted tower! Whatever you do with youtube in the future i will always be a fan and watch and learn! Your the best around dude

[@PixelGM]

I love that you are sharing your own thoughts and TRUTHS. Not many KZbinrs has this kind of content!

[@undeadpresident]

I would bet the truth is he makes more money convincing/teaching others to make games than from his actual games.

[@andersonlontsi299]

Thank you for everything Thomas ❤️ you've inspired us. Didn't know you were going through such.. courage 💪

[@WikiPeoples]

I hope the "2 weeks is all I need" thing remains true for you. I'm a little older than you are and had a similar experience where I thought all I needed was a vacation, some time off. Take held things at bay for a couple of years, as I chained vacations every ~8 months. The truth is though, we're reaching mid-life and there's tons of crisis level thoughts and concerns churning through our minds. The work we're doing suddenly seems - whether consciously or not - like it isn't actually all that important in the grand scheme of things. The "why" is suddenly more important than ever, and many of us don't have a good answer for it. Good luck bud, appreciate you being honest about this issue. The other possibility is that its related to COVID and being infected 3 times has run its course on my brain and left me utterly destroyed from a mental health + motivation perspective. Totally possible!

[@Rick-ng3lr]

If your life feels like it needs a vacation, realize that you need to change something. Just think. You need 2 weeks off to rest. And then what? You're going to do the same thing over and over again? Stop your loop and try to find your spiral of life.

[@Simon-ik1kb]

@@Rick-ng3lryep… i need to do this… looking for some time now how can i brake this loop

[@AlchemistBrewGameStudios]

The mid-life crisis feeling is real in the 30s. I'm late 30s now, and I took an opposite path. When Covid hit, I quit my job and started developing my own projects. The "why" question led me away from what I was doing for money solely, and into something more risky but more gratifying. Why am I a game dev? Because I'm alive and I want to create, and that's enough to drive me. I want to bring an audience with me, and make a living, but at the end of the day the "why" needs to come from that place.

[@Rick-ng3lr]

⁠@@Simon-ik1kbyou only need 1% of willingness to break out of your loop. And don't even try to do 100% because that will bring you back to where you started. Don't focus on what you want to achieve. Like I said before. Embrace the unknown as your foundation of life. And have 1% of willingness to change, and you will notice it will happen. One step at a time. And the strange part of it is that you don't have to work that hard to achieve whatever it is your soul desires. In fact if you try to hard, your back where you don't want to be. I repeat: accept the unknown. And you will see that you are free all along. :) You can do it.

[@WikiPeoples]

@@Rick-ng3lr Ya I know, I need to change something. What needs to change? Uh well, I need to will the lottery and no longer feel chained to a job just because of the security it provides in a steady paycheck and benefits.

[@undisclosedpolitics]

Your channel helps me with my first game dev, and depression. It helps with both, take a week or two off, get back at it man. Thank you for everything.

[@Tbjbu2]

Another great video Thomas, been loving the content and streams recently!

[@GGFTV]

Just a note about David R.B. He was ultra successful from his Minecraft animation KZbin channel, so while he was chased off of the Internet for *RETRACTED*, he was easily able to retire young regardless, even though it was not directly a result of escape velocity

[@RegahP]

Your situation is super understandable and i think you deserve a break, be it a small one or a big one. I follow you since your Pewdiepie game! You're very down to earth and authentic, and i respect that a lot.

[@Lynqoid]

Good luck, hope everything goes great whatever you decide!

[@jjones1032]

I feel like you're at a point in your KZbin career when you can take it easy and just upload when you want to. I don't think your audience will abandon you if they don't get a weekly video.

[@chookki]

Yhhh I’ll still watch whenever you post

[@TGameDev]

Unfortunately there's a bit more to it than that. The idea isn't just retention but also acquisition. Its ultimately a numbers game and putting yourself in a position to where you're most probable to succeed at even the most conservative estimates. To that end its a constant cat and mouse game with the algorithm and unfortunately it values consistency.

[@AndrzejGieraltCreative]

Escape velocity would be nice. I guess for myself, something even better than that would be, to be able to make whatever videos I want, and not worry about the strategic ways to try to say things for retention, and not worry about video ideas that will convince people to click, but I think you need escape-velocity level success to achieve that, or just simply not be too interested in using youtube for an external purpose, but purely just love making videos, which, as much as I love making videos, I can't say I love it enough to just do it without hoping I can send people somewhere else and fund my own work eventually.

[@rinayejudy5730]

Honest man, love your vids

[@AndrzejGieraltCreative]

@@rinayejudy5730 Thanks :) I'm glad to hear it!

[@tobinrysenga1894]

I imagine what is most tiring is not looking exhausted. You always look polished and professional. My favorite part of your channel has been how you encourage developers to keep at it and give them hope and a plan.

[@ragerungames]

i always enjoy watching your streams and videos. One of the most positive youtube game dev. you're the best!

[@thenamessteve567]

Only Thomas could turn a video about other game dev youtubers into a video about his course.

[@SauceyRedHN]

Man, I completely forgot about Dani :( Kinda want to rewatch his old videos now, he's really entertaining and I miss laughing while watching his videos.

[@MostafaNassar]

Takes a lot of guts to make a video like this, what many people don't understand is that posting videos is a very very lonely experience. You film (mostly) alone, edit alone and press that post button alone. Keep inspiring Thomas, and it's ok to take breaks.

[@Uncultured1ne]

very helpful for those who still getting their hands dirty...buh question....is there like a way to escape the said "burnout" or do you jus go slow and steady till you win the race "escape velocity"

[@thomasbrush]

Well, burnout isn't required. For me, it's because I get too obsessive about my various businesses and what not. I wanna make a ton of games, and I also wanna release a lot of videos. And I just go too hard a bit I think. I'm impatient. Game devs don't have to do that. I'm learning to focus and slow down :)

[@DNKCreator]

AMAZING video brother! Very informative. Great topic, as a developer I can understand, thanks for sharing youre cool asf

[@KotCR]

Really appreciate the honestly. So rare to find that these days, seems it is sharing those kind of feelings that cause stockholders to pull out of big companies, or in the case of KZbinrs, subscribers to disappear. I think most KZbinrs recognise they risk nuking their audience when sharing feelings and sentiments like this, so I really admire the bravery it must have taken to do so here.

[@sinanaserian1610]

you are such a honest man, that's why I always watch your videos

[@SpeedOfDarkStudios]

Always appreciate your honesty, Thomas - good stuff.

[@MichoSchmidt]

Awesome! video like always Thomas! I combined KZbin + Gamedev because both are really fun, and can keep my motivation to finish my game.

[@rapidstress2008]

dani went to buy the milk, without a son.

[@thomasbrush]

hahaha

[@CosplayZine]

You could do a game jam and the winner gets an interview w/ you to help promote their content. You could ask some volunteer devs to help judge and in return they get exposure for their projects as well.

[@kingspidey5080]

It doesn't matter if you take a break. We can wait.

[@LoriWolfcat]

Do you have a playlist on beginning Unity? I like it, but have no clue how to use it. I’m a 2D digital artist, so I’m hoping to transfer my 2D art into unity. And if I need any animation skills.

[@diariodeumdesenvolvedor]

Even tho my channel is very, very small, I can relate to this feeling. Making videos can be very stressful and time consuming, my editing can sometimes take two days or more for a video that lasts for less than 10 minutes. I've trying to group up an audience for quite a while now, and it's taking very long and being very exhaustive.

[@branidev]

I just yesterday received my first steam pay and it is so great feeling to be rewarded for all that hard time i spend making a game!

[@thomasbrush]

That is awesome!

[@thusithak]

Thank you for keeping it real!

[@nardalis4832]

relatable about the two weeks thing. I was super burnt out and almost hated my game that i was developing. But I was on it again 2 weeks later being as excited as ever xD its weird

[@albo8911]

Hey! Thanks a lot for sharing really. I'm a full time developer (not game dev), dad to a 6yo daughter, husband, and I love making games in my spare time. And because of how things work in the industry, I'm forced to do KZbin. It's about a year already and I 100% agree with you. It's not natural (at least for me) and it's exhausting. Moreover, because I'm forced to do KZbin I'm working less on the game itself. That's such an ironic. Anyway. Wish you all the best ❤

[@KhroMcKrakken]

When I watch Game Dev KZbinrs, and I watch a LOT. I watch DevLogs constantly, plus anything else I can absorb passively while working my 9-5 job. I do it with the understanding that many of them do what I do. Many of them do what you do. However you spin it, making games and living a life is already a TON of time spent. I can't expect that KZbin will also consistently be a part of that. So I Subscribe. I ring the bell. I wait until they have something to say whether it's a day, a week, a month, or year. And honestly, you are the only one that has been consistent in that time. So I want you to know you don't have to be. Many have mostly started to do mostly live streams because it's content with less work. Do what you need to do to stay mentally healthy. At least mostly. I feel like game dev is something only the slightly crazy go after.

[@thomasbrush]

Aw thx :)

[@abdullah_azzam]

Hey, I’m new to this channel first video I’ve ever seen from you. When you mentioned that you made neversong, a question came to mind: I have always wondered how the Apple Arcade contract works on the developer’s side (ie the cost, how long it lasts, the renewal process) because a lot of good games from publishers as big as annapurna have just been abandoning their releases on Apple Arcade (the example of annapurna being a game called the Pathless) and when the contract ends for these games they most of the time just disappear off the face of the earth without any real explanation other than “the developers didn’t renew their three year contract with Apple”. But then there are certain games like this one called No Way Home (no not spider man related) which are made exclusively for Arcade and when you go on their website they say it is only on Arcade but of course the game has just disappeared and will never be found again. This was quite a long comment but I hope you get my question and can go into the contract process in detail, thanks

[@a98k]

THAT REMINDS ME, What happned to David R.B and Arcadian Rift? I loved..LOVED that game, and the guy too, i mean i grew up watching black plasma studios

[@Skeffles]

I think we'll see some of these devs that managed to escape appear at some point and they'll be doing awesome things.

[@vsaucelover9660]

Dani did post a comment on a video thats 2 month old , saying that he is done 90% on his video and thats he's going to update us after 6 mouths Another theory is that he is got put on extra work since the unity drama (apparently he appeared on a stream saying f u unity ) so he might be busy porting his games into another engine He is also quite busy , like people keep expecting updates from his games (like look at crab game , he finished the game and people wanted more ) he is also busy on university

[@ConorDrew]

I think knowing where you are is so important, being burnt out, being down, having that rain cloud over you, it sucks, but you can recognise it, you know the sun will shine again and you will find your flow, and get back at it. Im not 100% sure on the others business set up, but from your open-ness, we know its your studio, but its not just you. You have to look after your employees, your wife, children and the future of all these combined things, so knowing when to pull back from other area, to make sure you don't crumble, that will pay dividends in the long run.

[@k1ng_chicken]

Take a break if you need to my guy. We gonna be here

[@fitemilkhero]

Do you think blog updates(text-form) would be better? So you don't have to get in front of a camera and it doesn't have to be perfect like it does on a KZbin video?

[@lohostege]

One of the game devs i watched finally uploaded a mew video recently. Though most of them, particularly the smaller ones, stopped uploading.

[@epicdungeontiles]

Good luck with the future

[@GDUprising]

This is a similar feeling you get with plugin / asset development. Eventually you get to the point where you're just sick of it and want to solely make games. It's hard though, you got to reach that 'escape velocity', as you call it, first.

[@iDigvijaysinhG]

Ok "Thomas the train" had me rolling at midnight 😅

[@zatzu]

0:46 I see a full set of PJO! Which cabin are you in?

[@FreddieM213]

I do enjoy a lot of your content if not all of it. Even though it’s unity and I prefer unreal, but I still like to watch your content. Doing a lot of the same things gets exhausting and hard to find that goal. What helped me for feeling this way is a book called “the gap and the gain” by Ben and Dan. I also follow a lot of entrepreneurs like Garyvee and Alex Hormozi. What I like Garyvee is that he talks about content and why it’s important. What I like about Alex is when he explains about leverage. Of course these is what helping me currently to push forward. It’s really easy to be drained when having a family, finances, what is working and is not, etc. as you were saying maybe hiring another person; to build that leverage and give trust to another person is tough, but it might be worth trying out things and see if it works. Lastly, we all need breaks. This content world is exhausting and freaking hard because the moment of stopping, could be challenging with the algorithm system with KZbin or other platforms. But besides that, I believe that you have an engaging following so I certainly believe that if you take a break, most will respect that. Take care Freddie

[@kenkai9097]

How do you build audience? Mind giving us a few tips or share some of your experiences?

[@Bruh_Dev]

hey i am a new viewer, and friend told me abt your game Twisted towers and i quite liked it. i am also a game dev, or i am starting to be understanding unity in depth and unreal on surface i want some advice, is it the right time for me to join the KZbin side a game dev now or is it a bad time. either ways i learned somethings abt the industry of youtube game dev from your video, thank you

Hey Thomas, thanks for your tuts I got to learn a lot from your market/business-oriented videos and Photoshop videos. I'm currently developing my own game and hoping that it will succeed and you will interview me XD I'm really hoping :) Thanks again though it is a very small word for the things that I got to learn from your channel :)

[@h9__]

I saw dani comment on a video a month ago so im taking that as a good sign

[@garrylongiii9785]

That point he was talking about, becoming an android, reminds me of when Markiplier cried watching that fan thing. It was because he realized that he wouldn't be able to have the same connection to his audience as he had before.

[@fadofficialmusic]

Meet up? Like meet your fans in real life? That'll make you happy and give you real emotions. And probably the best way to hit the escape velocity but not actually escaping.

[@aaronasissoard1098]

I was hoping to snag up the full time game dev course for basically a Christmas present to myself but looks like I missed out because I just got my bonus at work and the 50% off isn’t even available 😢 I can’t afford or be able to justify $997 on an online course. I wish I had the extra funds to be able to justify it but that’s a full months mortgage for me.

[@rickytleung]

Thomas, it's called going on a vacation. That one or two week break is important to refresh yourself. Everyone needs it.

[@beardordie5308]

What is the downside to scaling back a channel, maybe scheduling some Shorts showcasing elements of what you're doing, just taking it easy? Would it really be that detrimental to scale back the effort on KZbin for a time?

[@thomasbrush]

Well, I'll put it bluntly: you can start losing admiration, influence, bragging rights, additional income, losing wishlists, losing audience growth. None of which are truly necessary for happeiness, but sometimes fear can get the best of you. KZbin is also a very very beneficial asset to have. And when you don't nurture it, you can definately feel fear that you're going to lose something special

[@beardordie5308]

@@thomasbrush gotcha. Well, we're probably going to be in an AI apocalypse of one kind or another before too long, so try not to let these much smaller worries get to you. 😂

[@neosstuff]

3 months ago, he commented on a video about karlson being 90% done and then a 6 month period of not posting. to me this sounds like a potential spoiler for a release date. thats my theory on that

[@Learnerofthings]

Jus starting game dev and I think the problem I see in why people disappear is that it takes too much time to do KZbin and your game dev suffers. It is already a fill-time gig and then adding KZbin which is like 2 full-time gigs in one on top of that, will burn anyone out.

[@aviitone]

You deserve a break man; your content is just 🧑‍🍳👌 - perfecto

[@HeartcoreMitRA]

I've watched this video and i'm kinda inspired. As a gamedev generalist i have lots of "leftovers" i've wanted to assemble into a single released game eventually and this thing makes it look not just like doing something that i want the way i want, but even make some money off it. I've got some videos i can generally call successful(having around 80 followers and 1k+ views without any advertising or promotion) and at this point it seems doable. And at the end - more reasonable than making never ending b2b client-based projects that leave me extremely burned out and feeling surrounded by some brainless antropomorphic.. creatures.

[@trevorl860]

Whats the tldr on the David RB guy, all I've seen are the most vague comments of "its such a shame" and "I can't believe it happened". He looked like a mc youtuber so idk if he was a pdf but if someone can confirm ty.

[@jcd302]

Thank you so much for your honesty. I completely undertand burnout. Everyone going through burnout needs a break. Go do your thing and thank you for all your videos. We may see you or not but have made a mark on many people's lives through your videos and games. Take it easy champ!

[@CreativeSteve69]

Hey Thomas, I am so ready to get back into maing content on my KZbin channel and would love to revive it again after a long haitious. I have fun ideas I can use showcasing my first arcade game i'm building with my improv skills.

Also i'm a student of your course which I plan on watching soon on the financial side of it. cheers.

[@aryantzh2028]

maybe being youtuber is more exhausting than being a game developer, since gamedev is more profitable

[@VEOdev]

It may also be beneficial for new game dev youtubers who are just starting but they can't success because of the high competition from the oldest game dev youtubers who already have all the audience, so it could be like a cycle, when old retire and let the young once shine.

I wish my game Fursan al-Aqsa reached all the success these games reached, and as so I wish my game's KZbin Channel reached all these followers. I know that game development may be exhausting, just like any other job, but, I think whenever you have a great reason behind developing a game (like mine reasons), not just about the financial part of it, or not just your love for games, I think whenever you have a greater aim in your game, this helps you to overcome every hardship in your way...

The david rb reference tho💀 still to this day I wish arcadian rift was to come out...sad reality

[@maostudio9256]

nooo we love u mate

[@ringo2715]

For me "burn out" is a feeling that comes from a place where I question. "Is this thing that I'm doing the right thing to do?" I think things like "one day" I'll be going to GDC, I'll know enough about a topic to be able to speak about it. One day. I'll have enough money to take time off and enjoy my hobbies, pay for more expensive healthier food, have free time to exercise, read, go to a conference or lecture. It's hard to keep working on ANYTHING if you constantly question the path you're on. Something that I've recently changed and has been incredibly helpful is confirming my path rather than question it. I've cut expenses where I can and demand myself to purchase the healthier food, blocked out time for excise and reading regardless of my work schedule. I've started shaping my life into the one I would have "one day" right now. Doing so I've found myself being more productive and more invested in my current project and less exhausted by it.

[@Todelynotcopyritmusic]

bro you should get a cabin in the woods

[@Blife3D]

Great video. I think you should record what you want to record and pay someone to edit/run your youtube channel. Perhals a close friend or something. Then you can still take in the revenue from YT and open up a really great financial opportunity for someone who cares about the same things and who can share the same passions. It'll take the load off your shoulders and allow you to focus solely on unity with maybe a few things here and there whenever you want that are youtube related.

[@blessing496]

i heard Dani

[@justaregularcat5411]

Dani also got burnt out, to be added, he's receiving hates and death threats towards his game "Karlson" for it takes so long to be released. He said he's into so much pressure because now people expect too much for that game, what if it doesn't meet the hype and expectations when he finally released it?". I understand the feeling of this, as a learning gamedev(as a hobby but u know maybe someday...) It is really exhausting. I know for my self that I love to develop, I love to code, I love to make games and stuffs but in my current state, it made me super unhealthy, burnt out, and tired.
