I was doing game development for a few years now, I never followed the tutorial through the end, I would always 'extract' basics and useful information from them and then i would put it all on paper. After putting it on the paper I would open a game engine and experiment, trying to do everything on my way, trying to figure out things on my own and it worked. I watched a lot of guys following tutorials and watching game dev speeches for hours but not making progress. Guys just do your own things in your own way, don't listen to every word they say, you have to do it in your own way and struggle because through that struggle you will over time understand how things work, you will gain skills and experience through trying. Keep being ambitious, keep being passionate and never give up! Great video man, very honest and super useful! Keep doing great work, mate.
Thank you . I will follow it.
Thanks man , Gives me some hope
thanks for the word man
really feel inspired right now
Thanks bro!
I feel like some of these tips go for almost everything you ever do. Whether your learning a language, learning to code or learning anything else in general. Thanks for your video!
"Be an average implementer rather than an average tutorialist" uff. This felt like the school yard gut punch. But I also needed this one.
It feels amazing to finally break through enough layers to get into a workflow. Learning additional systems can feel like drudgery all over again, but remembering how far you've come is proof that you can get through it and retain even more new tricks up your sleeve. As a complete beginner to any programming, I struggled so hard to learn Unreal blueprints until I finally started learning some basic Sorting Algorithms and got my grips on how to go about practicing them. A year later, I am finishing-up a 4 day project making Minesweeper for a cloud server tournament for most wins. Won't be perfect, but pushing this project to completion is teaching me So much. Feel proud of every milestone, learn more, and practice intently, cheers!
I like using the boxing method. "You have to spar often with new opponents to get better. You can't just hit the heavy bag and expect results"
I like that ending! Great advice too!
Nice tips! I'll keep them in my mind. Thank you for doing these videos man, they're actually very inspiring... :)
Awesome content, thanks for sharing
I feel studying old material (ie: books) is a great way to get familiar with basics and build a solid foundation. I also feel theres some good modern material so looking around till u find something u really connect with then go with that and focus on learning the subject
Nice content, thanks for sharing with us.
I am a big fan of your work and suggestions Sir Keep it Up!!!
Great advice!
Thanks this is very helpful ❣️
Such great advice
Thank you for all the things that you taught us that they would never say
bro if you start uploading every 2 days youll srsly blow up! you got everything except an uploading schedule trust me ure vids are sick!
Thanks. Of all the code there is, I’m at least breaking through to understand some of it in unreal , primarily focusing on ui design and building virtual scenes or 2d menus. A tip I have is pick one area until you master it and don’t go from one thing to another but it works for me
Personally I like changing stuff and implementing things differently
I do on average 6-8 hours a day 5 days a week
of prorgramming
sticking with one project is actually really comforting and cool you'll also learn a lot more too
because there's no way around features you need and it needs to get done
being comfy in a development enviroment and just making the game is a great experience
Thanks u r best!!
You are my favourit content creator for game devs.
Brilliant words!
Amazing video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
How much time it took you to realise that you can put your game thoughts into code without copy paste or tutorial
Helpful for me even this video has been 2 years ago
Teacher you are a Motivator 😃👏👍
This is so true. To learn game development you need to start developing games.
Being one that is just starting (so far on the right path in the first steps, research) its the understandin of language and terms in the field. Like first hearing library my mind goes to a building with books, news articles, public records and local laws and bills passed. The digital language a familiar word can have a different meaning kinda like American VS British english,, same language but half the words have different meaning due to different perspectives and regions.
Great video fahir you always tell the truth
Wish I'd figured this out before I earned over $40k in debt from college...
thank you 💖💖
Thank you for this video. Sometimes I get lost in my journey of game development and try to find a new path or in other words loosing my focus as you mentioned. Even if this seems like common sense, sometimes someone needs to give a quick reminder of reality and get you back on the road. Thanks, I will finish my game and publish it on steam, I always wanted to do that, but I never did... Let this comment be as a promise that this time I will do it. Thanks again for showing the way.
Keep it up
@@CriticalShorts Thank You
How it‘s going?
@@siny3446 I totally forgot about this comment, but I actually did put a game on steam, it is now marked as coming soon, thanks for the reminder, i have to set an actual launch day. 😆
@@maxtera4336 good to hear! what engine/language did you use? I started with UE and C++ today
I was doing software Engineer for a year now and having the interest to join game developing which I find it was so powerful and fun to learn. Thanks for the advise
how is it going? i am planning to switch from sde to game dev after 5 yrs.
7 years with unreal and the most 'tutorial' style content ive ever watched were these one off blueprint node explanation videos back early on, better to hit walls and find your own ways around or through them to learn more efficiently
Great what I have seen
Just start learn by building this is the only way to became a game developer.
i watched a video of yours the game dev memes and im saying thank you im called a pro game dev by my classmates but in reality im not the best so thanks.
I am starting to make game dev log, I already making my game in one year now. If you want to see I have some video about it
He's right thou!
"practice every single day". As a kid I used to be 1 hr max at my computer, because back then they were expensive and I had to share with my bigger brother. I had that 1 hr before he came from school. I learned SO MUCH. Then I got my own computer and things become chaotic for some odd reason. Tutorials, MMOs, YT videos... Now as a grown up I'm back at 1hr a day and I'm learning again. Sure, you can do more than 1hr a day. Most likely you should, but this binging behaviour and being weeks away from your progress. That is even way less effective than those few short hrs a day with consistency. So yeah, I can attest to this.
Practice as much as you can, if 1 hour a day is it, at least its something, its better to make slow progress than no progress. But if more is possible, then hit it hard
hey everyone can you tell me do i need a batchelors in computer sience too be a game dev? I'm looking for a degree/cert I can study in nz....
I geuss I better stay out of jail then
FOCUS

The link in the discord is expired.
You said 100% accurate brother...
so true

Get a good Udemy course and skip all the “sponsor” and ads crap.
Thanks from Russia!
Ты написал Рашша?🤔
But I don't learn enough about the code through the tutorials to know how to change anything; I'm not learning anything that I can apply to any other situation. It's not that I'm unfocused; I hit a point where I know what I want to do but have no idea how to do it, and even if I find a tutorial for that I can't just stitch things together because I don't know what the hell I'm doing and it just breaks the game and I have no idea why or how to fix it. If I ask for help somewhere people are great, but then they just give me some new code to replace it with and I have no idea why it works. The alternative is like giving monkeys a typewriter and expecting Shakespeare; the amount of time to learn by just stumbling across something from randomness doesn't seem efficient either.
Also, every time I open the fucking program there is some kind of update or something that changes... I just can't keep up. Many of the tutorials are already outdated (the new input system in Unity is a good example, which now haha learning Unity after the shit show what a great choice I've made) where everything I DO find uses an old way of doing it and I don't know how to change what they are showing me to work with the new system.
I can finish a tutorial (I've lost count of how many at this point)... but I don't learn a damn thing from it. There is no greater understanding happening; nothing sticks. It's like when you see someone give these buttons to a dog that makes human words. They're not actually understanding the language, they are just pushing those buttons and then seeing what response they get. All I'm left with are those few buttons that have been given to me; that doesn't teach the dog how to speak or actually express their own thoughts.
This just isn't working.
Well sorry to break it down for you but that's the "beauty" of youtube tutorials and all "free" stuff that everyone is telling you "go learn on youtube you don't need to buy anything to learn" or when you see people say "go on udemy buy courses for cheap and learn," well my friend, you are currently bearing the rewards from that type of content...
I was creating courses on udemy a long time ago, and I saw that if you want to compete or be relevant in the marketplace which is controlled by udemy you just need to pump out as many courses as you can... and by doing that you're not creating quality content that can actually help people instead you're just creating content to earn more money...
When I realized that I decided to create my own platform where I can have less course but actually help people achieve their game development dream, which is what I did and the result is countless people getting hired in game studios...
Glad I made that choice.
How is the situation now?
@@MMonis-ge6lh , I took a step back and tried a number of different engines, especially those that are light on coding. I've been working with RPG Maker XP which allows me to avoid most of the coding, and looking at some of it I can actually understand it.... which means I can with trial and error I can pick it apart (what I SHOULD be doing instead of tutorial hell).
I was purposely avoiding RPGs since they are so content heavy, but this allows me to learn a bit of light coding while going ham on everything else. I'm also doing pixel art right now to avoid buying a tablet. I get to learn the ins and outs of all the art/music software and the goal is to learn how to do it efficiently.
It's a good fit for where I'm at. I'm ACTUALLY learning things now. If I stick with it, the end result is basically a portfolio, and at that point with something released I think I will just try to find someone to work with who is skilled at programming. I wasn't wanting to have to take years to get to that point, but without that who would want to work with me? Sure, I've had art hang in a gallery and I've composed for a symphony orchestra... but doing everything DIGITALLY and having to learn all these new programs and techniques is a whole different animal. Like anything you have to pay your dues so I'm going to grind it out and try to stay positive.
@@naejimba i am still onto tutorial but with different approaches to learn lets see
@@MMonis-ge6lh , good luck buddy!
What's funny is that I didnt think id fall for any of the points mentioned in this video. If youdve asked me 5 years ago, no way, until I did them myself, this year.
Focus is super important. See one of the reasons these things happened to me is due to burnout. After a while I just wanted to take a break and switch things up. So I started learning unreal without even publishing a single unity game, or yet alone a game, with other stuff I used for the past 2 years. I did make a few jam games and many practice projects. This stuff can get boring which isn't something I anticipated, but even so, remember to keep going.
How Can i purchasing Monthly subscription? There are not buying option
not sure what you are talking about when you go here: awesometuts.com/ultimate-game-dev-academy-dis/? there are enroll buttons on the site where you can enroll
@@awesometuts i was done and fill the all detail but sabscribe button is not visible
@@awesometuts Where can i send you screen shot?
The “Trick” to getting a game made is in the “Game Design”. If you don’t have a game created on paper (blueprint) then you will NEVER have a game.
I'm now finding tutorials on how to stop watching tutorials.
😂 thought I was the only one.
if anyone ask me for a Course I would like to suggest your Mini 7hrs course 😁
3:26 2-3 hours ... puff... i spend the whole day
I don't agree with most the tips
1. I agree with the first tip but in my opinion you need to see the toutorial in the same time you want to I'mplome the system not the next day
2. I agree with the second the need to but not every day in my opinion not every one has the same free time and meny people bord to that every day and lost interest because of that practice consent is good but not over do it's do that in your own past
3. is good to not lose focus and try to stick to how to fix the problem however I don't recommend that for meny reasons first reason meny time the problem very harder to handle you don't able to do that and because of that you end up frustrated because off I segest wean that happens to move to other topics that imporuve your emotion and I disagree with other part ass well if watch tourial to fhinshit meny I have I problem on spefic topic and because meny time you want to spefic topic and watch I tutorial on the order to created that but wean you see the toutorial the you find the seloutio and you know handle the rest with your own why continue watching the tourial after that ?
4. I agree that I dasn't matter what is the place to learn however I don't agree with the part if you serious started to pay connect because meny people my self including do have this extra money to spend on toutorials
Build your game engine never fall in tutorial hell🐱
It’s not healthy if you spend 8 hours in completer
i'll teach yall game development for like.. 100 thousand dollars.. in which you don't gotta pay all at once..
Hi
Your discord is filled with scammers and is falling apart, please give it attention
in today age its easy to lose focus
almost tutorials are fake
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I'm glad when I started at 13 your choices were:
QBasic
I am Kenny, Kenny am I...😞
Seems like absolutely nothing, so many trash devs now a days
cool video)
