@@BrendaKincaid I can honestly say the value of this course is definitely worth the price and i'm paying in aussie dollars
100% agree with looking after your neck by having one main monitor directly in front and one on the side for things like reference documents, etc. Too many people only care about aesthetics.
I am so happy for you Thomas! I’m just starting out in developing games too, and this really motivates me to continue moving forward! Congrats again🎉
Alright buying a dog immediately, I can practically smell the game dev success already
Thought someone will say ‘adopt dont buy’
Or it is the smell of the dog pooping in your room besides you…
@@lohlundgameslol😂
Thomas this is really rad to see. Inspiring myself and others to go and build our own space we can be proud of!
Thanks for giving us knowledge. I wish I can get your course but I spent a lot on my game development set up. I keep up on all your videos to give me inspiration and not to give up. Keep up the good work.
Wow, what a unique and inspired video. I would be pressed to find just one other video that has any similarities. I mean the standing desk, the panning, the music - I've never seen anything like it. And I love how you were able to find the importance of standing while doing a mission trip to Slovakia.
this is an awesome setup, Thomas !! it's so minimalistic, not crowded at all. I love it
Great setup! I love the minimalistic layout and look. Also, I totally agree with the two monitors over a single ultrawide monitor. I can say the same thing, it's much easier to have two monitor with one being in the center facing you. You also get better control of the application windows per monitor and don't have to worry about the 32:9 support for some applications/games.
Amazing setup, I think you’ll be happy to hear that your monitor layout is not unorthodox at all, if fact it’s probably the most common dual monitor layout out there
Super cool video. Gonna be redoing my studio here really soon so definitely gonna take some of this setup in mind. Thanks again!
I feel the same Thomas about your beginning comment on both the mouse and how two screens are stationed. I love the mx master 3 for the specific reason that it feels like a perfect productivity mouse. I not only work in unreal, but I also draw and animate, and the mouse is perfect for that. Being able to side scroll all my timelines and view ports by default as sped up my work flow. The screens: one stationed in the center and one on the more right is key for me, as I have also found, that I look at mainly one screen but need an additional for files, shader/material work, reference, etc. Very similar.
Great setup. Glad it's working for you. Keep it up with the quality vids man!
Looking great Thomas, thanks for sharing. Made me think I really need to upgrade my setup! Spending so many hours in the same place its worth an investment to keep correct posture and avoid neck and shoulder pain. Also that candle looks sweet
BTW I love your videos, you really inspired me to start developing my own games and follow my dreams so thank you for being an inspiration in my life I hope you are well and you´re making progress with Twisted Tower. Best of luck with the game can´t wait to see what you brew with it!
i know this video came out awhile ago but i just got to say i love the transparency and extra look into your workflow. most game dev channels just go over how to make a simple thing in a engine but your channel is different. 😀
This is a beautiful setup, you deserve all this
Good to see I'm not the only one with a centered monitor and the secondary off to the side. I'm not crazy lol. Now to save up for an ergonomic desk... that thing is gorgeous.
This is a beautiful set up. Was wondering if you could do a video about your journey learning C# and game programming, maybe any tips you have? I find when I don’t have the terminology I don’t even know what to search to find the code for the outcome I’m aiming for 😅
Excellent suggestions here! I might grab that monitor mount myself.
Happy for your new conquer bro!
Great setup, congratulations
This looks so good! Love the vibe!
Center monitor with a screen to the side is great! I've used that setup for yeeeears. Totes recommend
Dope setup dude, I into game dev myself and I’d love to have this
Great setup congratulations!
Hey Thomas, some things I can recommend for the neck pains are: 1. Getting one of those memory foam pillows that support your neck when you sleep and 2. Doing chin tucks (this simple exercise realigns your spine so your neck is not constantly strained due to it being curved. Hope this is of use.
Nice! Also, this highlights your cinema/camera skills so well! Any new movies coming soon?
Oooo yeah im probably going to get the desk and sort my cables nice video!
I wish I went with wood grain on my desk, looks good, nice moody space you got there.
Hey brother. What camera mount do you have attached to you desk that is holding you teleprompter rig?
Hi Thomas, I was hoping you could make a video covering your game development workflow. I understand that there's a game design document to create and follow but I was wondering if you could elaborate on how you create one of those. The types of things you think about when creating one. Being a successful indie game developer, it would be awesome to hear about your process as someone who does have success.
Also, I was wondering if you jump around a lot when creating games. Some days or hours level design (including adding things like foliage and placing assets in an environment) and maybe you jump to making mechanics for your player and enemies and everything else.
It would be awesome to see how you do things like this.
Thank you for your time!
So refreshing thanks thomas
Center monitor gang! Nice and well deserved setup.
Beautiful setup
I bought a dual monitor vesa mount and one of those light bars after this, and finally a wireless keyboard. I'd been planning on those for a while but hadn't gotten around to it. I find a stream deck good for productivity, too.
Completely agree about your monitor setup. Ive been doing web development for 10+ years and I’ve tried triple monitors - too much going on - made me too ADD just moving apps around. Tried ultrawide and full screen apps were way too wide and required way too much neck movement. One central monitor allows for focus on one application and a side monitor allows for mild multitasking. Mild is the key word. Focus is on one thing is good IMO
This is the monitor arrangement I've always preferred! I've never really liked ultrawide and having the gap for two monitors in the center never made sense to me.
Same. I upgraded my setup couple weeks ago. New desk, new monitors and I did exactly like in here. I don't like ultra wide only because I play lots of older games and the black bars on the side will drive me crazy. And one monitor in center and one on the right is the proper setup. If putting both monitors in middle then you are turning your head to an angle that will hurt you after a while.
Awesome setup Thomas
Best wishes to you Thomas ❤
DAMN YOUR SO GOOD... I'm bet frustrated of myself.. I would never stop thinking what my dream is to be like you and seat their, gaining more money for your games... what a good life...
What about the candle? We need the candle specs!!!
Its so nice thomas.Very nice
Loved this!
I have my dual monitors set up the same way. Main monitor straight on, 'second' monitor to my left. Nice setup. I'm more of a mechanical guy as far as KB's go but use what works best for you.
What do you mean it looks weird with 2 monitors!?
That, my friend, is nothing short of true beauty!!
As a Character Artist, I'm totally with you on this. Spending 8+ hours a day in one place, it's critical to make it comfortable and functional. The money investment is more than worth it. I even had to ditch my Cintiq and go back to an Intuos as hours of sculpting, neck and shoulder pain is real and can cost you too much down time. My next upgrade is an RTX as everything is Raytraced now, GTX just doesn't cut it anymore.
Clean video❤
The MX master has helped me a lot with wrist pain. I'll try the keyboard next, they even have a mechanical one
Your monitor set up is perfect!! I've got similar for my web dev set up, except the one on the side is vertical, a little different.
The logi keyboard is nice, I've got the Pro, but logi switches have been below par the last few years. I get regular double presses on most of my keys. Otherwise a great keyboard, but you can do better.
One thing I would recommend for standing is a standing pad it just puts less pressure on your knees
Love the setup! Btw where is your wallpaper from?
Looks amazing, thank you for the detailed breakdown. Also, didnt you used Mac before? How was the change? You nust be very busy but if you got the time i'd love to see a video about this windows/mac topic in the context of GameDev. Love your content, peace!❤
You worked hard to be where you are now sir.. enjoy!
I'm using an hp omen laptop and it has been amazing. Thinking of getting desktop soon
Ooo it looks like a nice desk setup! I want! 😅
omg yesssss new setup video ayyyy
I have a more budget friendly set up, so I'm really impressed by yours but I feel what you state in the beginning and the end. I am very satisfied with mine with which already is impressive at probably half the price? I also prefer 1 monitor in the middle and one on the side #ergonomics. You're spot on with the mouse and keyboard. A top investment when you're working digitally. Thanks for the superb vid.
Amaizing video and amaizing setup.
love your video's. What speakers are you rocking in your setup?
Real cool man!
great work
I spent a load on a standing desk to help with back & wrist pain.
But all I really needed was a split keyboard, as my hands can be further apart which opens up my shoulders and fixed my posture.
Wrist pain disappeared then
That really is a dream office☺
Hey Thomas, could you talk more about using both Mac and PC in the same desk setup? I noticed you use logic pro.
Hey Thomas, just something that cought my eye (and annoys me lol). You can hide all Icons on the desktop, even the file bin by right clicking on an empty space on the desktop, going to view and then the option at the bottom should hide every icon. That is if you actually want it this way. Seemed like it because you had no other Icons on your Desktop.
Apart from that, great video. Love all of the shots, they look amazing.
One more request sir! I believe it would be another awesome video if you could go through your thought process when planning out code for you game.
love you Thomas ❤️
Hey. Thanks for nice video :)
I am wondering do you use blackout shades while working on a game during the day?
I love how twisted tower looks like bioshock❤
Bro why is that pc floating😂😂
What a sexy setup!
Damn, some cinematic videography or something
I am also the sponsor of this video : loved it !
Damn! Gooooooood😍🔥
we've come so far😭I remember the last studio tour video
That’s How my monitor placed on my desk as well. I need one monitor that I can look straight 😊
I think your monitor setup is more important that some beefy computer. Your monitors are your workspace more so than anything else.
Whether it is a Widescreen, Ultrawidescreen (Samsung G9 is quite popular as 2x 27"s), or dual monitors won't matter it's all personal preference mostly.
Good thing is there are some really affordable options these days to boot.
Would love more of 2d art videos or livestreams
Should've gone with the Kanto YU-2s. They would fit under your monitors :D
With respect, I don't see how the dual monitor setup alleviates neck pain. The standing desk? Sure. But that low angle turn to that side monitor actually caused my neck pain, so I found the single ultrawide to be a better setup as my neck rarely turns now.
That's what we call motivation
Great video! What is that monitor mount please? I am looking for one for 2 32 inch monitors as the one I have isn’t great!
Cool video
As a 10 years user of the Logitech MX Performance mouse, I was ready to move on to the MX Master 3. Tried it in hand and hated the ergonomics, I don't know why, it's got a larger bump on top and it didn't feel right. Basically I ended up trying 10 more mice and the one that really got close to that Performance MX feel was the Razer Basilisk x hyperspeed, for me at least.
Agreed. Neck pain is real. :/
I'ma invest in stand-up desk too.
I have the same mouse and keyboard, and I feel like they’re over priced. They’re definitely great products, but since buying them I’ve switched to other peripherals that offer more
I think the real reason I don't watch many of your videos is not because I don't have time, but every time I do I get super jealous of ya. I think I cried during "The Harsh Truth About Game Development" , if not I had a terrible day that day. Don't get me wrong I am rooting for you, I have all your games and tell people about them, because I want to see you succeed. But it is very hard to see someone my age doing what I have wanted to do all my life for about as long as I have been capable of doing it. You've been doing this for about 10 years, I should have and could have started 10 years ago. But just didn't for some reason.
Gotta have the gear!
im surprised u dont have a dev kit
How and what do you need to get the amazon alexa stuff to turn on and off the office lights and equipments? Can you make a video on that?
Try one of you mons in portrait, for coding
Am I the only one who thinks to start learning/making games 'after' getting to this level in life?
Yeah thats my dream office.
Monitor setup is not strange at all; basically same as mine. Only mine has the second monitor on the left instead.
What mousepad are you using there? Been looking for a big one like that without any branding on it :) Thanks!
Amazing
Not enough people know that you can get roller blade wheels for their chairs that roll on carpet better than normal wheels on a floor mat. Look into upgrading your desk chair wheels.
For a better keyboard ZSA Moonlander.
Awesome! But I disagree about the keyboard, its not the best in my opinion. I would say something like the ferris sweep or the glove 80 is the best
Master MX 3S is bad, because this is 120mhz. After this i buyed logitech g502x with 100mhz. And my mouse going smoothing. I have monitor 120 HZ and i feel difference.
0:18 so many “if” conditions promise a long bug fixing night
Is there a link for the desktop PC tower holder under desk? - I am researching right now as I am not sure how good they will be considering my PC’s AIO exhaust is on the top panel
aside from game, what do you think about AR/VR app development in next 2-5 years?
Nah man, I have the same Monitor setup. My main monitor is 100% straight in front of me, and my secondary monitor is to the right. I have now moved to an Ultrawide monitor, the Samsung G9, and I have it off center so the left side of the screen is in front of me and I use PIP mode with two display port connections to replicate dual monitors. Then, if I want to game in 120hz I turn PIP off and play. This works for me, it might not fit everyone's needs, I only play racing games in ultra-wide, so I'm fine with the center of the ultra-wide being off center because I can just adjust to it no problem.
