Im starting to learn gamedev from this year im 22 years old. As a hobby and continue developing my passion with games. Hopefully like you i may land on a job or just try getting one but i just dont want to stop because im just tiered of losing progress. Adios my friends for your journey 🧡
im a game dev student and artist from a small country called tunisia. the game dev scene is pretty much nonexistent, with some tiny indie studios just starting out. BUT seeing videos like this is what keeps me going and motivates me to hold on to my dream of moving abroad to one day make games for a studio (maybe even a huge one like nintendo? a guy can dream hahaha) :p thank you for the good advice !!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed - impostor syndrome is so real in every industry - even me working in the industry now, I often feel like I'm not qualified - but you have nothing to lose and everything to gain from applying and putting yourself out there! Good luck!
As a soon to be graduate artist, doing everything right and got a glowing reference letter from my internship. Graduating right now is like being put in front of a gun who already shot thousands of my more senior colleagues and told to start begging for my life
What i learnt from this: Don't be discouraged by rejection.Use it to strengthen your interviews in the future and try to build up a great portfolio which shows you have passion in the industry 😅
Amazing! Software Dev should give you some great fundamentals to get a super solid headstart on it! Best of luck with it - and if you ever have questions about the industry or Unity, reach out to me! :)
Hello, I'm Brazilian and I came looking for content from abroad, to see how you see the professional game dev scene, I need to learn English so I don't understand much about the video but I would say that about 60% I understand and I get the idea. Thanks for the content!
I'm currently in college for game dev, and an planning on enrolling in a university for learning it too. Would you recommend trying to get a job in gamedev while also in school? And how did you finance your life in the 10 month period where you didn't have a job? Also, what I'm most insecure about is my technical skills as a programmer, what level do you need to start being considered for positions, and what 'mechanics' of programming or the Unity engine were most critical for you to learn?
Hey! Great questions, and I'll try to answer to the best of my ability. As for getting a job while also studying - it depends, casual work (retail etc.) definitely, something to earn a bit of money on the side - finding an actual game dev job, definitely a bit different. There's absolutely no harm in looking for work, but being realistic, there will be people favoured over you (people with the qualifications and prior experience) - but it can't hurt to apply here and there. Financing my life while I was looking for a job though - again I was working casually at a few different places, not game dev related, I was working at an ice rink and also did some odd jobs, but I was always working on my own personal projects to stay up to date with my game dev stuff. On top of that, I was still living at home with my mum, so that helped a lot, but I know not everyone will be in that fortunate position so casual work will definitely help. The thing that helped me the most, and I touched up on it in the video, is just improving and exploring different areas in game development through every project I was given. For me, the areas I think I benefitted the most from was just understanding unity as an engine. Understanding the code (MonoBehaviour), understanding tools and custom editors, and just general object oriented programming practices. There's no right level to start when applying for jobs though - if you have the qualification or some degree, then looking for Graduate roles, or junior roles - there will be no expectation from you other than your potential. So if you can prove that you have some kind of drive to learn, and have proven that you're actually interested in this field (proof by doing your own work outside of uni, so personal projects etc.), then you will be extremely desirable.
Hey Garnet, good stuff man really liked the video, Would you recommend me specializing in a field I truly like? or is it better to have a variety of skills?
Hey! Definitely explore your skill sets, but definitely nurture your strengths. if you’re a good programmer, being good with UI/UX for example is always beneficial. Along with the technical growth, just other fields that you want to have a crack in is always worth pursuing - you never know too, you might find that you enjoy art/3d modeling way more!
i want to enter this industry but i dont have a coding background and i'm starting to learn unreal engine, so what do you think i should start with. will appreciate your guidance thank you
Hey! great question - and it's tough because everyone's journey will be slightly different, especially with how you learn or pick things up. The best thing in my opinion, which I encourage to all game developers when they're just starting out, is recreating games that already exist. Don't jump into an original idea or something that is way out of scope - take an idea (the best of these being literally any arcade game from 80s/90s) - and just recreate it. watch a tutorial on someone else doing it as well, and then slowly add your own spin to it. For example, Tetris, add new features like new blocks or blocks that have certain functionality. This way, although you are following a tutorial, you are still actively learning and pursuing something. After that, it's definitely a good idea to just go through the code and understand certain aspects. But when you're just starting out, tutorials/resources online will be your best friend. find ways to utilise them in a way that's productive to your learning :)
Go enroll a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science degree program in 4 years just like me. I was doing computer programming in my computer science 4 year program for 6 years since it is difficult for me mentally. I was doing data structures and algorithms for several months and is incredibly HARD than math. AlgoExpert. Also, I learned Unity and Unreal Engine 5. I prefer and love using Unreal Engine 5 more than Unity, so I am sticking with Unreal Engine 5 permanently as my main game engine of choice. 1. Arrays 2. Graphs 3. Tries 4. Linked List 5. Doubly Linked List 6. Binary Trees 7. Binary Search Trees 8. Strings 9. Dynamic Programming 10. Search Algorithm 11. Sorting Algorithm 12. Greedy Algorithms 13. Recursion (a function that calls itself) 14. Heaps 15. Stacks 16. Queues 17. Famous/Popular computer science/software algorithms
@@Mnerd7368 i would like to say that you may never need any of those data structures directly, if you do, find out exactly which one you need, and just learn that one. Practicing these data and algos prior to building anything will lead to burnout fast
Txs for this video bro! I studied cs and I have experience creating software but not games, and I want to start. Would you recommend starting using an engine like Unity or starting using libraries and frameworks like rylib, libdgx to create games? What do you think is the most important aspect to develop at the beginning: the art, the code, the structure of your game/gameplay, history?
No worries! Games is always interesting - I personally think an engine like Unity would be easier to begin with - it'll just be a lot more forgiving for early mistakes, and resources to get help will be a lot more accessible. As for the most important aspect to develop - that's a tough one because it'll vary quite a lot, but art is definitely a low priority, I think if you have no programming experience, then code will be important to understand, but otherwise it would be the design and patterns etc. - I think as long as with every part of your project you're growing some skill, be it code, design, UI/UX, and taking that into your next project and expanding on it, then that's where you will grow the most!
hi brother , i am a CSE graduate and very passionate about developing games in ureal engine, as of now i am going through some courses in udamey but i am not sure what math skills i need to learn and is it possible me to get a job in a year with good protfolio(i dont care if its a small role)as it is important for me . if you got any free time give me some advise and give some suggestions brother , it ll be very helpfu. Hope i get reply, Thank you.
would you recommend learning mostly unity or unreal, obviously its good to know both but which one is best to know better for getting jobs? how many companies use unreal and how many use unity?
Hey! The age old question of which game engine should I use. At the moment, Unity is still the leading engine that the majority of studios are using, so I tend to point towards there because I also find it easier to pick up - but that being said, it largely depends what type of job you're trying to get into. Most indie studios will use a commercial engine, whereas the larger range studios (think Activision/Rockstar) will have their own in-house custom engine, and the majority of the time the custom engines use c++, which is obviously where Unreal Engine comes in handy. I think ultimately, depending on where you are in your game dev journey, whichever engine you personally find easier to use is the right choice. If a company is looking for someone with unreal engine experience and your knowledge is purely in Unity, still apply but be transparent with your knowledge on it - as I said in the video, you're likely to be hired on for your potential, not your capability, so if they think you have the knowledge and drive to learn another engine then it can definitely be applicable either way!
I have a question: Do i really need to really be good at DSA to get a job in the industry ? If don't then how much should i know about this subject to increase the chance ?
Hey! Great question - and it’ll definitely somewhat vary, but as an example, I nearly failed DSA completely at university. This for me was always a weak point, so there were occasional coding interviews that would test this and I would immediately fail them - but that being said, partially it was a skill i built up over time, but you should definitely know the basics, if not at LEAST how the algorithm works. Things like Time Complexity can come later, but if you can look at pseudo code and gauge a general idea of what it’s doing and why, then you’re off to a good start. I would definitely recommend doing coding exercises to at least build a general idea, or focus on a single algorithm (Dijkstra’s for example) and have that be your strength. you’ll find that once you know or are comfortable with one, the rest start to make more sense. That being said - it ultimately depends on what the employer/application is looking for - you might be specialised in UI and have no need for it at all
@@GarnetKane Thanks brother, i'm a self-taught and DSA is something that i always hesitate to get into (my friend studying CS told me that DSA is a pain in the a$$ for him at college as well 🤣), i guess i have to get into in sooner or later.
@@justarandomguy-gn2tu I loved DSA at uni. Leetcode is a good website for practice, just try to write all the important parts yourself instead of relying on the libraries or what the language provides you.
Living in india right now and I'm in 12th std so do you recommend me to get into a computer science college and do game programming as i am so much interested in it ...but i want to open a game company here so is it possible..?
Hello! I can't see why it wouldn't be possible - I know India has a lot of mobile gaming studios, and if your goal is to start your own company, then computer science will give you fundamental knowledge for it. There's plenty of remote roles to start off with as well, so definitely get some experience from there before hand!
Its a very important decision to make and its so good to see that you have started to wonder what you want to do in life so early on Do keep in mind that there is little to none gaming industry in india hence no eco system. The fundamental reason being that there is no consumer of it within the country ! When is comes to gaming consumption whether its PC, Consoles or handheld, South Asians always pick games produced by the west and why woudnt they ? The industry over there began in the 1960's hence the technology and man power they have there is The cream of the crop!!! India has not produced any world renowed games and the industry itself is in infancy stage it will take a long long time for it to grow and and stabilize so you will need alot of patience and alot of Luck if you want a successful career in gaming in India. (not to mention millions and millions of dollars to make a AAA title ) Maybe not that much if you want to go INDIE Do your research properly visit the gaming studios in your city and find out the career growth oppertunities and salaries in your country/city IF career growth and money is important to you because lets face it passion doesnt pay the bills and put food on the table. Last but not the least Computer Science is a great degree the IT sector in India is amazing and booming Companies like Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Apple and Facebook demand talented people who are passionate about computer science and coding and learning about C++, Python, Java etc etc. These companies hire people from all around the world especially from India so alot of oppertunity there Plus you will be learning C++ and Pyhton in Bsc and correct me if im wrong these 2 tools are also used in game development so its a win win for you maybe you can decide after completing your degree where you want to go and hopefully the gaming industry is in better condition in India (although i highly doubt)

I am currently working on a game and will start my dream game soon. I wish you good luck on your game dev journey. Embrace failure and trust the process and the results will come
