I spent the past two years learning the Unity Game Engine. Thank you all for watching my two year journey from nothing to maybe one day something in Unity. I've had a lot of help and learned from a lot of great people on youtube, and I highly encourage you to check out some of my favorites

Hey all! Most of the models used in the vid were created by Synty Studios. They found my channel and reached out as a potential sponsor. As I love using their assets it was an easy yes, so if you want to get any synty assets for yourself, check out my affiliate link to support the channel! syntystore.com?ref:TJ

Love synty! Beautiful assets 🥲 Very much enjoying this video! I wanted to say it’s great to see your tourney manager game. I have a mind blowingly massive game I want to make at some point, and it’s cool seeing the team manger side of it. That’s a big part of the game I want to make that is an ode to fantasy and rpg. My dev journey has been much slower. Thank you for all the info! My first game is a much different game though but I am stoked for all of them!

Been super interested in learning unity for a while now and I think the most difficult part for me is biting off more then i can chew with little to no skills, it’s great to see how well you’ve been able to understand when you’ve reached your limited and pivot to a new project with new knowledge and being able to apply that further down the line. I have you say your understanding of KZfaq content structure and editing is impressive and I feel like you’ve got the groundwork for a really strong channel here going forward! I liked and subscribed! Also, good job on crediting and promoting those who assisted you in getting to where you are even if they’re a larger creator then yourself, it’s a small thing but it goes a long way in earning credibility and respect when it’s so easy to take credit for others work online

It was really impressive to see the actually growth in 2 years. I will say finding and understanding different software design patterns will massively help you progress with developing features alone, scaling your games up and making it easier to strip components from older projects

@TJGameDev 2 жыл бұрын

Any recommendations as to how I can learn that?

@thesujaychand8094 2 жыл бұрын

@@TJGameDev My favourites are: 1. MVC - Model-View-Controller (Most used) 2. Abstract Factory (Good for make a base structure, like different sets of ui components) 3. Object Pool (Useful for optimisation) 4. Dependency Injection (Useful for decoupling components and supplies dependencies) 5. Command 6. SOLID (Suggestions rather than hard rules) You can choose your one or look into 2 or 3 of the ones I use or find your own. Just try and make a simple feature with whatever you choose. They sound a lot more complex than they actually are and you might have been using some without realising it. Also, making a web API (RESTful API) with .Net core 3.1, is an easy way to learn heaps about C#, design patterns and making external calls from your games. (Note: You can try .Net 6 (C# 10). But, Unity is on an older version of C#)

Unless you have prior experience, and a lot of it, that would be a huge undertaking. One of the problems for beginners is having big ideas then completely losing motivation because they don't have the skills, experience or patience required to complete it. Start small. Make a ping pong game and work up from there. It may be a good idea to look up Brackeys and Code Monkey. Brackeys no longer does any new content but their older content still works. He does teach some bad practices though. Code Monkey has some really good tutorials you can follow and even has some paid courses. Sebastion Lague as well as Game Dev Guide are also great if you want more intermediate to advanced topics.

Thanks for this video, TJ. How and when did you actually "learnt" to code? E.g. I am right now in a spot where I have done a few projects, but it mostly boils down to: figuring what I want -> breaking it to steps -> finding a tutorial/solution on StackOverflow on how to do it -> coping the solution -> probably mess up with the code a bit. But that left in a position where I still can't do by myself even the simplest things (like moving an object) without making mistakes and thus, I end up looking up once more the solution. For the love of God I just can't seem to memorize (or to "learn" coding) as it seems. How (and if you were in that position) did you progressed pass that point?

@TJGameDev 2 жыл бұрын

Hey man, that's literally how learning to code works. By learnt to code, Id say learning all the different components of Unity's API are. You already understand the thought process better than 90% of people, eventually though you'll get to the point where "figuring what I want -> breaking it to steps -> finding a tutorial/solution on StackOverflow on how to do it -> coping the solution -> probably mess up with the code a bit" becomes figuring what I want -> breaking it to steps -> checking the documentation or looking at a tutorial -> writing it yourself. For simple stuff such as iterating through all items in a list, thats easy and can be done off the top of your head. If I needed to move an object, I know that unity has a MoveTowards() function I could use, or if its a rigidbody I know there is an AddForce(). I can guess the rest, or look at the documentation docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.AddForce.html where it litterally shows an example. Best of luck learning, it just takes time!

TJ I got another question for you, I really aspire to be a game developer similar to you, I just love the style and I have similar visions for my stuff. But I'm struggling with my graphics, at 5:21 how did you get so nice graphics? I'm watching the Sebastian graves souls series, and it doesn't look nearly as good so I'm wondering if you have a tutorial series that shows how. Thanks!

Damn you learnt so much over those 2 years! Was you already a developer before you started learning unity?

I went to college to learn cyber security so I knew some coding but nothing in unity

I don't want to be disrespectful at your work, it's all good but it's always more easy when a studio sponsors you with their models and assets. There is a quite "big" differences when an indie dev trying to find free assets for their projects through sea of internet compared to some studio giving him premade free assets so he doesn't have to deal with it. People think coding is the hard part, it's actually reverse in game dev. Coding doesn't take much time but finding models/assets for your project and try to implement it , level designing is the real part that takes "time". Sometimes you stuck with weeks months to design your game because you lack of assets etc.

That "not seeing my friends I don't have" line was a great choice. Like it immediately sets the tone for the video in a super relatable way. I know it's old now, but still a really fun watch. For those of us just opening Unity, it's great inspiration. Also, Synty ftw! Love their stuff. I build my own assets (Concept Artist / Illustrator by trade) but I always, always use their packs for reference. So consistent and stylish. Easy subscribe 🤘

I’ve been browsing game dev videos off an on for a year now and done few Unity tutorials. This is by far the most inspiring video I’ve seen. Thank you. And I adore the character assets.

About DOTS: I recently tried making a game with ECS and without animations, particles and sounds .. there isn't really much you can do with it, besides rendering a lot of moving things (without animations or particles on them). I'd suggest waiting until it's ready. ^^ Jobsystem & Burst on the other hand are great tools.

Thanks for the heads up. I saw unity release the road map on ECS last week so I think I’ll take your advice and wait until next year to touch that
