Welcome to my channel! Join me on my journey of going from ZERO to HERO game developer. Over the next year I will be documenting my journey, going from absolute NOOB game developer to a AAA game developer. It won't be easy, but I am ready for the grind!
Welcome back, Robin! Congratulations on the new addition to your family! Your advice has always been precious, and I'm happy to see you again. Wishing you all the best, and I look forward to more of your videos and insights in the future!
Thanks so much! I appreciate the support. Whenever I feel like I have a good point to make I'll make sure to make a video of it. :)
Awesome to see you pivoted and started working in the way that works for you. And congrats! Kids are the best.
Yes hes great, and thank you!
Welcome back Robin. So glad to hear you are okay and congratulations. So much of what you said is so similar to my own journey.
Thank you! Yes I am sure many people have something similar going on. I just didn't want people thinking I gave up on everything. :)
Welcome back! Congratulations on the baby.
Thank you!! 😊
great job

💪👍 C++ 😍

Hey Robin, I'm checking in to see how things are going for you. We're eagerly awaiting an update! I, we'd love to hear your advice: What strategies have helped you stay focused and productive? Are there any pitfalls or obstacles you've encountered that we should avoid? If you want to stop, could you share any insights or tips on learning efficiently? (we deserve a goodbye) Your video was even more helpful and appreciated than you might realize. Your insights and tips on learning efficiently really made an impact. We're looking forward to hearing more from you soon! In short, we want advice from you.
I must say, It's kind of scary how you say (specially on the third book): "I haven't read it yet but is absolutely a must". My question is: how do you know that? You haven't read it and processed it. I get that a lot of people could say that, but I believe having you own judgement is far more important.
Good question. When I made this video I had read some of it, just not in full by any means, it is not a book you really read from start to finish, at least not me and Im sure not many others. It serves as a reference more than anything, especially because the code is written in Java and many of the patterns, though based on games, don't exactly integrate the same way once you start working in engine. Each engine is somewhat opinionated and you work within the means and standards of that engine. (I thought I would maybe clarify this better in a later video but I haven't had much time to make videos recently.) I also did/do a lot of research on game development, and from what I have read/watched/seen/asked, this book is a must. BUT, now that I have spent much more time doing game development, nearly every day for the last year +, I would move it down my list. I have found a WAY better alternative to this book. Thanks for asking for clarification though. You are 100% right.
Looking at the C++ book reminds me of a meme about a C# advanced book that only half the pages compare to a crash course C# book 🤣
How big the courage one needs to post this kind of video telling the world you're gonna make it!
I recommended “ UNREAL ENGINE 4 GAME DEVELOPMENT ESSENTIAL “ ( purchased by Amzone )
Excellent selection! I love Master's of Doom, and I would also recommend Doom Guy by John Romero if you haven't read it already. It's a really good addition!
KEEEEEPPPPPPPPPP MOOOOOOVVVVVVIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG FFFFFFFOOOOOOORRRRRRWWWWWWAAAAAARRRRRRDDDDDD
Hello Robin, The year ended. I like your progress in every video you did. I hope you and your family are doing well. I can't wait any longer for the following video. I hope it will come soon.
I appreciate you reaching out! I figured no one even cared about the journey! haha. ALOT has happened since my last video, mostly personal but some work stuff, Ive honestly wanted to put another video out , but have been so busy. Maybe I should release an update video just to give a lil closure. I appreciate it! Just know I am still deving everyday!
@@thisisunrealrobin It's genuinely heartwarming to hear from you and even more so to know you've noticed and appreciated my message! Trust me, your journey is more captivating and inspiring than you might think. It's not just me; many of us eagerly follow your progress and cheer you on from the sidelines. 😊 Life can get overwhelming with its twists and turns, personal or work-related. Understandably, you've been swamped. Yet, hearing that you've been considering an updated video is exciting news! Even a brief update would provide that sense of closure and keep that excellent connection you've built with your audience alive. We're all here for the ride, through the highs and the lows, eager to support you. Your dedication to developing every day amidst everything else is admirable. That passion and commitment genuinely resonate with people, myself included. So, whether through a quick update video or a casual check-in when you can manage, know that your efforts and journey matter significantly to us. Take all the time you need; remember, breathing and taking moments for yourself amidst the hustle is okay. We're here, rooting for you, excited when you're ready to share again. Until then, keep diving and keep being awesome! Best regards and lots of encouragement,
Keep up the good work! I'm on the same boat (sort of) as you. I went to school and graduated 7 years ago in 3D graphics and game design. I work as a IT tech guy instead. I want to work for AAA studio or become full-time indie game dev.
This all seemed complexed, interested in how much you could do with this exercise in unreal with real game application!
man i have these same issues! @2:30 ha... also love the map drawing lmao
Thanks for the book recommendations Robin hope your journey is going well!

Thanks for this, helped pass the day at my day job whilst waiting to jump back into Unreal.
Its the perfect lil "make a game" mix!
I think Stephen Ulibarri's course is good if you want something that's fairly exhaustive, not just on the programming side. Once you are done with that and if you want to drill down on programming in C++ with UE, you should check out Tom Looman's course. That course is for UE4 but I i went through it with UE5 with just a couple of tweaks. The reason I like that course better for someone with a bit more experience is because Tom Looman knows UE coding patterns very well, he gives you exercises to finish yourself (with a solution once you finish), and his videos are short and to the point. The problem I found with Stephen Ulibarri's course (although that's a good resource as well) is that he hasn't edited down his videos to get to the point quickly and his coding is a bit sloppy. Nice to see you are still pushing forward with your development!
Hey its interesting you bring up Toms course I was actually looking into it recently. I think after I finish this one, I will make a small Flappy Bird clone and then try and find something more geared toward professional C++ in Unreal Engine. Ill keep this one in mind! There is also another course on Udemy, from one of the devs of Grip. I'm not sure if you've heard of that course but it also looks promising. If you know of any other resources I would love to hear about them! Thank you
Good steady progress 👍 Really cool to see someone who didn't know about int main() a couple weeks ago working on classes now.
This is facts!! I am def feeling more confident now.
Another book that I recommend to my students is "Think Like a Programmer - An Introduction to Creative Problem Solving". It's another one from no starch press, the same guys that published the C++ crash course book you have. It's not centered around game development but it's a really good way to build your creative skills using programming.
Ill check it out! Thank you
Really cool to see your progress, reminds me of when I was starting out learning to program 15 or so years ago. I was going to suggest some more learning resources but I think what you're using right now is pretty good. It's better to stick with a few good courses and work through them instead of getting bogged down with all the 100+ unreal tutorial channels and tutorials. What I would suggest is to start making clones of really small rudimentary games along with Stephen's udemy course. Games like pacman, pong and snake etc. Don't watch any tutorials and just make them on your own - even if the blueprints are messy as hell and it's not the most efficient code, as long as you get it working it's good. It's going to reinforce what you're learning, give you challenges that you'll have to problem solve through racking your brain, and also give you the feeling of accomplishing something on your own. I'm gonna watch the rest of your videos now :)
Thats the plan, I want to finish this course, just so that I know all the tools UE5 provides and my first game I want to make is a Flappy Bird clone. If you have any good resources let me know, I am always searching for the best info. Thank you!
Better be consistent with your developer journey than UA-cam, but always nice to have some good news from you ! Pretty cool to follow your progress. Keep the good work, i'm watching you 😁🎉
Been developing everyday! Thank you!
Heey Good Luck, I would love to chat, I started game dev a year ago, and I am planning to do the same.
BTW you missed Chapter market for Honourable Mention 1
Will fix that, thank you!
Welcome back! So glad things are going well on your quest. Things are progressing nicely on my game too.
Would love to check it out! And thank you! Slow and steady!
@@thisisunrealrobin I upload dev logs to my channel most Sundays.
Hey ! I think i'm doing the same course as you when it comes to UE :) You should add your discord so people could connect with you :)
I don't have my own Discord Server. But if I make one, I will let you know!
Good luck Robin ! I'm literally in the same shoes as yourself ... also took the route of C++/UnrealEngine
Awesome! Good luck, let me know how its going!
Cool . Kerp up the good work 😊
Thank you, I will <3
I like your determination.
Thank you!!
Very nice vid !
Thank you very much!
Let's do it man! Keep posting I'm looking for a career move as well
Thank you and good luck to you!
Hey man , I really enjoy your videos , you are the reason i started game development journey . Really appreciated what you are doing. I message you in your twitter , I hope you will see them
Glad to hear it!
*Promo sm*
Sounds like you've become the Ian Hubert of Unreal Engine.
HAHAH ill take that as a compliment! I did enjoy making this video, hope it worked for you!

Hey. I'm on a similar journey, excited to follow your progress. Good luck to you.
Thanks! We can collaborate some time if you’d like!
@@thisisunrealrobin That would be great. I am starting from scratch in unreal too, but have some experience in 3D modelling and animation. Unlike you I am hoping to self publish rather than work for a big studio. It would be interesting to compare our different approaches.
Keep on going! A note on macros: many developers avoid them these days. They are not type safe and obfuscate code and debugging. A better alternative is to use constexpr and templates depending on what you are doing.
Thank you, I will! Ill keep that in mind moving forward. I've made a few template functions but haven't heard of constexpr yet. I will look into it, thank for the tip!
well done!
Let's gooooooo your first month and you still motivated you are doing good🥰🥰🥰 keep it up
Oh ya, big time! I'm doin this!
Great first month Robin 👍
Thank you, I’m grinding hard! Hope showing you is helpful or interesting!
