ive been making a mobile game the past couple of months and i have to say when the lockdown happened it made progress a lot more quickly

Don't stuck on a single job .do everything you want and enjoy the life .

I love how you begin the video, hey, oh, hi, how are you doing?

I live in SC too! You truly got me going doing this. More of a story telling part but I need to learn the other harder parts. It makes me happy and I'm going for it

I wake up at 6am most mornings without an alarm. My brain is fired up and ready to go. That was never the case as a corporate developer. I am loving everyday as a full time game dev.

I want to go from being a director to making games

Oh! Hey! How are you!? Love the intro. I'm just creating my 4th game in this quarantine and uploading youtube content. At start really it's a hard work because you believe you know how you want things but you must adapt them to your workflow and keep going. But yes, I agree that it's an awesome job, full of trials, even if I'm just starting. The only I want to add is: Even if you feel the preasure on your shoulders and the anxiety and amount of work is enormous, you are doing it because you love it, and if in certain moment you feel bad about what you are doing or you feel that you MUST do it only for preasure or fear, you need to stop and rethink what you are doing and why, and find the line again to keep going and enjoy it. And the bad part about it is that it can happen almost every week haha! So taking a time to relax and breath is essential. Great video Thomas :)

Great vid, very inspiring and informative. As a coder/software engineer, I have really found it fun watching you grow more comfortable and have fun with programming. I actually find it inspiring for the opposite, I have been trying to grow more comfortable with art and music and generally giving myself permission to be more creative, as I have always felt more comfortable with systems and code.

I just enrolled in college to go for this career choice. Something I feel I'd be interested in since I play so many games, time I make them.

Fantastic video man. Really inspiring and I really hope more people take this opportunity during these exceptional times to begin learning a new skill and maybe even take the first steps on a new, exciting and creative career path.

Thank u so much for encouraging! U know, i thought i quit game dev, thought I'm done with that due to some circumstances n it's hight time to jump on something else. But this video gave me the hope to not give up n move forward! So thank u again!

Awesome Thomas! Always a pleasure to listen to your encouragement words! Keep up the good job! Regards from Brazil.

Always an inspiration watching your videos.

You have a very calming and soft voice Thomas, I love it!

Thank you for sharing, Thomas.

This was helpful and I needed this advice, bonus points for being eye candy 😉

awesome as always. Keep up the methodic spectacular work, i wish you all the best!

Great video Thomas. Loving the inspiration! ❤️

Hi Thomas, great video, its has given me alot of confidence to get in and give it a go. keep up the great work mate

You are just like me. I literally do everything. Everything you say is spot on. Stay tuned for my game im bringing out. Everything from the artwork, story, music, production is all done from me. Im glad i found your channel.

great video as always Thomas. Also great tips on creating games as well.

i can really say gamedev is the most exciting thing i'ever done, right now i'm making a game and also starting to make videos about it

Appreciate to your honest opinions👍🙌

3 months ago: - I wanted to quit game development Apr 4: - Game dev it's the best job

I agree Thomas. I started in 10/2020 and I have never worked over night with no sleep until I started working in game development and not cared that I had no sleep. lol I came from a banking finance and trading background but I have to say I enjoy video game development the most because of the artistic expression. Thanks for your videos. Hope to meet you soon one day. I am working on getting my new games on steam. Right now my first games are in iOS and android but time to focus on Steam for next games. Haven't made any money from this lol. But I stil lenjoy it. TAke care and all the best

Thomas, I love your content and you're a big inspiration for me in my own projects, like my current first person project Tempered Flames. I know you have a video on starting a studio, but I was wondering if you could do a video about more of the specifics of starting a studio, the logistics, hiring people, covering basic legal necessities, things like that. Would that be possible or otherwise are there any good sources out there for it? Thanks!

Amazing! I also like to do so many different things as well with art and tech! Inspiring! Thank you!

Gamedev have it all... Coding, Designing and Discovering different concepts which is pretty fun.

that was the KZfaq video that I was looking for nowadays, thanks thomas, my language is spanish, when you said "Resilient" I paused the video and go to google translator hahaha that was funny.

first time catching your videos on release!!!

You r just an inspiration man!

Couldn't agree more on the "creative explosion" part. Gosh, it really does feed my soul :)

About a year or ago I started working with unity, C#, blender, meshmixer and other digital software. I studied programming about 30 years ago and have an art background. The plan is to work my 3 12 hr shifts a week for the next 6 yrs until retirement while trying to get better at what i'm studying. I have a ways to go before getting proficient. So, onward and upward.

You are very inspiring, thanks a lot.

Thanks for another inspiring video about game dev

Bro, You are doing a great job. I am a huge fan of yours. Your games are awesome.

It took me forever to do my first mobile game not because is hard but because it takes lots of dedication, but finally did "Stop the Flying Kitty" available for Android and iOS, nothing fancy but I'm proud of it :), if you want to do a game today is a good time to start.

Never watched your videos before but I’ll sub

You are so talented!

I'm even more fired up now !

amazing story ! I just opened my 3-man video game company. I come from a software dev background C# and Python building business apps, and a semi-pro musician in a rock band in a remote part of the world: Mauritius. Great tips for me in my startup !

Hiiiii Thomas!!! Haha 😂🤣 Great video! Very inspiring 👍🤓

Just clicked and now watching this. I'm making a game as a solo indie game dev who knows little to nothing about coding and no problems with animation/graphics. Was down but needed motivation like this.

This was very inspiring.

Thanks for the live streaming idea, because I don’t feel motivated doing things alone.

do you have a background in film editing too? What do you use? AE by chance?

Its April 2023, and Im taking a shot. My first game is scheduled for release on itch Jun 1.

Tbh iv never really been sure what career field I want to follow In my life.im graduating soon and the only real career I want to follow is game development but im scared I dont manage to make it work out for myself

very cool video

very nice

Thankyou sir thank you You don't you what a great job you are doing .

Hello Thomas, I love your videos and I am personally interested in game development. What programming language do you suggest to learn? What programming language is your game created with? Thanks, Zak.

i now know u live in SC, which is epic cuz i do too!

Love Ya Bruh

I created my first level yesterday in the unreal engine I did try unity but there was so many errors in my projects I got annoyed

Ive been watching your videos for a while now I never knew you lived in SC too! Which area do you stay?

Loved this, i was scared to do my buissness on what i loved to do :,)

Hello thomas brush , you are my inspiration. So that i want to ask this question to you . Sorry for bother. I am currently watching udemy courses to learn c# Unity . Do you suggest me to go and follow a c# book and improve myself in there too ? Your message is so important to me

when you wanna do some progress in your learning, but Thomas Brush uploaded a video...

And now this is in the Unity newsletter :-o

Exactly my thoughts...

Man I've been for this video...

It's good for seeing what you can push yourself to achieve and seeing immediate results.. But if your chasing ching outside big corpo, good luck to ya...

Thomas, you commented about live streaming our gamedev content. Do you have any tip on how to get more people to see my videos and lives?

Can you do a video on different jobs in game dev.

@mistnft on twitter hosting a community contest for creation of a NPC potentially be implemented within the game.

How do you build an audience on KZfaq for your game development journey? I'm working on a game and I upload videos of my progress on it, but I'm not getting that many views. I know I just started, but it's still good to know

2:09 Saving Your Time For Your Code

Great videos, just a question. On your patreon the 5$ monthly fee, include your support in chat? thanks :)

What should you study now to game develop? And free or bought software?

How do you avoid people stealing your ideas or how likely is it that someone will? I want to start creating videos documenting my progress while making a mobile game. More for accountability than anything else. I also think i have a unique take on tutorials.

2020 has nine months left before it ends. I hope this is enough time to learn the basics of C#

Hey there. I am also a sc based dev. Did you have any advice as to how to find financial opportunities in sc? Also thanks for the content man.

Hey Thomas, what drawing pad are you using?

Would it be possible to make a video on how to make a 2d sidescrolling weapon pickup and equip or drop video?

You inspire me thomas, i am nervous, im trying to finish a game ive been deving for almost 10 years..fulltime!! Somedays i wake up and think its utter crap, other days i wake up and think it's amazing. Im really quite scared about releasing it, for now im making it better and better but the fear never goes away, have I wasted a decade? Even if it fails it wont matter, ive taught myself pro game dev with unity, but I really hope it works. I want to move into indie game dev properly like you have, and I love your content. Thanks for all the wise words and I love your games.

You have a cheap overhead in money, but consider that time is also money. Game dev is insanely time intensive and I'm still wondering if its worth it or if I should just go into web-dev for some money and a steady day job, then do game dev on the side.

Hey! You probably won't read this comment since the video is uploaded 1 year ago, but just in case... You talked about creating your games, but what do you think about being an employee in a company for example riot games, Ubisoft... Making a video about that would be nice I think, what are the pros and cons, which is overall better...

just needed that after being rejected by game dev school xD but i came too far to give up. ;)

i just downloaded unity game engine .. and now I'll try to make something

wish I had your dedication Q: should i make a mobile action game or a story focused action game for consoles

do i need maths for doing game development??? do i need to have a high level of understanding of mathematics for game development??? my maths is not so much strong will i will be facing probluem??? if its needed, then how much and how much level of understanding is needed??? plz reply

I really need have IT based job to get married,I have strong background in programming but I have problem by selling any video game was developed, what is your suggestions about it?

I just started learning game Dev 🤩🤩

I always thought you live in Canada.

My son needs to interview a video game programmer for his HS senior project. Can you help with this request?

We literally have the same gaming chair 🔥

2:18 Incompetential noun inability to do something successfully; ineptitude. Similar: ineptitude, incompetence XD

Do you have any advice from going from feeling like I don't know anything to actually feeling like I am capable of making a game. I have taken some online courses to learn Game Dev in UE4 using c++ and even though I just completed it I still feel like I know nothing. Do you think it would be best to keep doing courses and learn more or to just jump right in and see how it goes? I love your content thomas!

I couldn't learn anything because the virus got in my way to get wifi :(

cool

Hello! I'm new to this and Im going to college this year and my dream is to be a game developer, but I don't know anything about it now, i want to know if there are tutorials about how to get into game developmet

I never got the people who argued it was expensive to make games. It is just the a descent computer, Creative Cloud(or ms paint) and game engine subscription(unless you use Godot or don't meet the revenue guidelines on some engines). Then just pay the $25 Android fee and you have the cost of a game.

Did he make game for pc or mobile??

When will you be showing your earning with Pinstripe?

Can you please update Neversong to 64 bit macs? Thanks!

i thought he was going to say hey, vsauce

You and that troll scott cawthon are my biggest inspiration I hope my dreams become reality and be succesful like you guys and tell amazing and creative stories like you

Am I tripping or what? What happened to once upon a coma?
