Thanks man for the shout out!

When copy-pasting code, it's important to know _what_ you're writing. Try to understand what each line does, it helps troubleshooting and learning.

For all the new Indie Devs use which ever game engine you feel comfortable with (Unity, Godot, Gamemaker, and yes Unreal). Be persistent and make lots of games can make your dream game or side project.

4:48 I'm an Unreal Dev and the way I see engines is that they are tools. Pick the one that suit your needs and stick to it. Even change them if you need to. I don't understand the war between Unity and Unreal. I chose Unreal because my favorite game Gears of War was made in using it and also I saw a time-lapse of a guy creating a stellar scene in Unreal. Plus Unreal was more "shiny" looking so my dumb ass just went with it.

Actual step 1: Have a PC, that's VERY important. That of which I do not fulfill the requirements for.

Free/Cheaper Alternatives: Krita instead of PS Blender default one. Affinity or Inkscape for vector art. Asprtie for Pixel art

Thomas is back to the old content. I’m overwhelmed with nostalgia. 😊

I started with Unreal two years ago and quit.. I picked up Unity a few months ago and almost have a full working demo. Not saying that is a definitive answer but… I’m happy with Unity and it just makes more sense to me at this point.

the # in c# is derived from music notes. if c++ is c(+1) than c# is c("music note" + 1.5 octave) it always makes me smile when i'm reminded of that :)

I use Unity every day, and it's great. It's like an all-rounder game engine. Unreal is more of a 3D, artist-focused engine. So choose Unity if you're more of a programmer and want to make cross-platform and various games. Choose Unreal if you only want to make 3D games, and you're more of an artist. If you're still not sure, just go with Unity.

Finally I found a step guide I was stuck and overwhelmed by all this and finally a bit structure thank you so much

About coding, that’s totally true! I don’t know advanced C# features, just enough to bring my game to life. And it’s working for 5 years or so haha. Every day I learn something new to solve a problem. There’s no need to get crazy studying the entire language and a lot of theories.

You're the most honest person I've ever seen.the world needs more of your kind

I found your channel yesterday and I am already in love, thank you so much for making this! I'm just starting out with game development so this really helps!! :D

Hey man! Thank you for the video. Seriously. I was struggling today with motivation for a game jam game I'm making. I didn't touch it at all. I have only unfinished projects on my hard drive. Never released anything in 5+ years of try. But this video... this video really helped me get back on track. I see a lot of myself in you, and I hope to be in your position one day. No... BETTER! Haha! All jokes aside, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. You are an inspiration to me. Keep it up!

4:45 I personally use Unreal as a beginner, but I understand all the fuss about the Unity vs Unreal. but the thing is that engine are just tools which you make games with, some tools are more effective than the other in some fields or overall meant to be used in something else. that said as for someone who isn't really into programming and mostly oriented around 3D art, I would prefer the Unreal due to the use of Blueprint system which is way easier than the traditional coding, yes it's quite limited than C++ however in my games I mostly focus more on Visual aspect of the games rather than mechanics. but as I said it varies from what kind of developer you are and what you are mostly focusing on.

I've only worked in Unity once to do a code-along game that Brackey did a series on but I plan on learning both so I can choose whichever suits my needs better. I feel like both have their pros and cons from the sound of it.

Amazing vid! Really digging these style of videos

I just bought the 2D art pro course! Looking forward to finishing it.

For me the one and only good answer about which is better Unity or Unreal is whichever engine you feel will help you finish your game the way you want it to be. Both are tools made to help us creators create.

I've following your work man, and I want to say you're awesome

I dove into the process, and became fascinated with world building and visual game mechanics. I'd have never discovered this passion if I hadn't given game development a chance.

I've been coding for about 7 years now and I still can't remember stuff. I have to Google stuff all the time! I just don't have the greatest memory when it comes to things like that! My greatest strength is coming up with ideas for games! Thanks for the vid Thomas, this was very insightful!

This gave me a good overlook over everything, thank you!

this is a perfectly edited video. reminds me of the old days! great job

I’d love to see a video for tips on how to add game feel and polish so character controllers (first person and third person)

Also, even though copying and pasting code is easy, I think it is good to actually learn code. That way, if the game doesn't make it, and you decide not to try the second one, you will at least have some skill in software development which you can transfer to a more stable job.

Livestream today?

Thank you for that video man it's really inspiring

Man, you are really good at this. I appreciate the quality and hard work that clearly goes into your videos. Thanks! Ps. Unity

Dude, those for loops are so hard to remember. It makes me so relieved to know im not alone in that struggle XD

The sequel we've all been waiting for.

This is very helpful! Thank you for sharing this info!

I bounced off unity after a year and am LOVING godot, just so good. In love with it currently, I recommend heartbeats tutorials (for anyone still looking for an engine quick to pick up)

Just one thing to say, HIS VOICE IS SOO SOOTHING!!!!!, this video is making me to subscribe him, even if he likes or make videos on unity. Man I admire you for having this soothing voice

You're a breath of fresh air dude

main reason why at school Im taking a class at school where I can do game development is just to have motivation mainly with what I wanna do and so far its been working out its honestly super nice but you learn more online I think

Amazing advices!! thank you so much

love this style of editing

I love this type of content❤️

Tbh, I tried to get into unity multiple times but I quickly began to found out it lacked some features which needed to be download separately. UE on the other hand is overwhelming at first but the amount if tools it has is better than unity. Achieving good graphics in UE is easier. Also UE5, will have refreshed UI and Nanite as well as Lumen

You, Sir, are a blessing... subscribed...

"the ain't nobody got time for that" keeps getting me 😆

I think most game dev focused youtube channels mentions unity or ue to get engine fan boys to talk about the engines to increase comments which again helps with the youtube algorithm xD

thank you

I love the Scrooge (1970) reference, that is the best version of that story. (I know people may disagree) Thank you very much, that's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me!

Great vid

The best name for C# would be Glasses. Because they allow you to... See Sharp ;-)

Super helpful! What a guy, thanks a lot

c sharp could be called, brackeys. I wonder where i got that from

C# was named C# because just like in music a C# is s step up from C, and the C# language is just that a step up/collaboration of all the C languages put together and designed to be more used friendly when it comes to object oriented languages :)

Thanks, It was hard for me to choose between a 3D and 2D game, and what the story/plot will be like because i have never written a story.

I don't think either is better but I started as a new dev in unreal and it was tough but it seems intuitive enough. And I got it pretty solidly now. I have a prototype and it actually works!

It's honestly so refreshing for professionals like you to talk about how much you don't remember and have to google of C#. I am way too hard on myself and think, when I can't remember something, ah ok I'm terrible at this I should stop.

I would love to learn how to make games from technical side because when i was watching some others indie game developers and I've got an idea of a game. I imagine the full story and how does it will work and i think everything but when I try to get some help from internet (tutorials and formus) I've know it will be hard but not that hard how i expected I watched the channel Game Dev Unlocked he inspirited me to trying make my game and after all I downloaded Bolt for unity but even with it was hard enough to place my concept and idea to the Unity. Amazing video

"Unity is supporting platforms such as Nintendo Switch" *Showing Fortnite on the Switch, made with Unreal

Thomas , Your AWESOME man!

Learning the art part is so far the most difficult one for me. I feel like I'm being distracted and losing confidence in it. I'm better at working out the functionality of the game and planning out the aspects of it.

at the end of the vid he wanted people to fight in the comment section with the Unity vs Unreal. that's to boost this channel's algorithms... see? he's good at marketing :) good work Thomas!

.1 download ue4 .2 load up preferred-gametype demo .3 search youtube for mechanic you want .4 program game mechanic in blueprints .5 texture and fill your world with free Quixel assets The hard part is texturing humans and animation

Thanks really helpful ❤❤❤❤❤❤

5:46, woah! U stole words from my mind

4:22 dont forget optimizing code for better fps AKA pooling ... dont use updates unless its a necessity use code when triggered.. not check UPDATE to trigger unless you combined clean code together to take less space on cpu... optimizing using occlusion.. and baking ect...

I've probably watched 50% of your videos for my comp sci class since I'm learning c# and my goal is to become a game developer like u :D

6:50 that was the most funniest sound I have ever heard

I'm on Ue4 cause I'm doing a 3d, likes their layout more, etc

I learned Blender’s old UI before the new UI came out, I felt the old UI was very customisable, I think the new UI is just as customisable although more accessible

Clip studio paint is a pretty good option for 2d art as well. One time payment instead of yearly ones.

I was told once that C# is called that because its C++ with two more "plusses" stacked on top of the first two.

Fun fact, c# was originally going to be called cool

great video!

Great video! 👐

Gotta say Krita is looking better and better than Photoshop for painting 2D art.

I'm programming Banana for years now... still my favorite language..

Love this video😍

lol I'am a senior software architect, and I'am too lazy to handcode a for loop, i use map/reduce functions :)

Hello Thomas, could you please, please make a tutorial on how to set up 2d sprites in unity. In every your project your sprites and art look really clean and with sharp edges. However when I import some art which in editor look really clean, in unity it looks awful with pixelated and blured edges. Thank you very much

okokko i will start tomorrow! xD

Muito bom ver o meme da Nazaré confusa em vídeos gringos. Good video man, i learn a lot

Video is like 30% advertising lol. If you want to learn Unreal you gota learn C++ or atleast the basics to know visual scripting. Depends on the engine you choose. And Unreal is NOT oriented toward just triple A games. I love Unreal. Tried Unity before Unreal.

AWESOME VIDEO!

Some real hardcore dadhumor hidden in there... I can totally see we are on the same page!

I think you're really good as a game developer! But how big is the game scene? About 1920 × 1080 and then when you run in the game to the next game scene also the same size. Would really interest me.

My principle - start with unity and then when you are familiar enough with game dev and C#, start learning ue and blueprints/c++ and master both engines

Hey really want to learn about making games did you have a class to show how

Informative video :)

Unity vs Unreal? But what about Godot? Free and good for 2d and has a web version so you dont need to download it to check if its good for your project

I don't get it why Unreal is never mentioned for indies. Blueprints is literally the best option for visual programing, which is a great option for beginners without programing experience. It's so much easier to pick up than learning how to type code or copy and paste code that you don't understand.

first of all : that is an awesome video I knew new channels for marketing because of the last tip , thank you Second : The answer to the question which is better unity or unreal is Compare the main engine features And know what do you want to make 3D try unreal 2D try unity or even Godot engine If you feel it is hard to start make a simple game just switch the engine some people prefer a way to solve problems and create new stuff That is why I see a lot like: "I started with unreal and quit then tried unity and it was great!" Or "I started with unity and quit then tried unreal and it was great!" (btw Iam from that team who liked unreal ) I started with unity and felt it is hard to learn due to its UI ( that was in 2018 ) And when I tried unreal 2020 I felt like its UI is very friendly Even though a lot of people say the opposite So again it is just a preference I used unreal for 1.5 year and was working on my game Now Iam trying to switch to godot 4 with my unreal engine project If Godot 4 satisfy my needs I will stay with it , if not I will just go back to unreal So once you learn one of the game engines you will build an overall knowledge of how game-dev/game engine works It will be very easy to switch and try new stuff

my biggest problem right now is that the game want to make is too big and ambitious, and i want to finish a game or two before i start working on it. but i cant find any ideas!

hi bro would be lovely if you would help me in my problem : i downloaded unity and im a beginner python learner i came here to see to switch now idk what to learn first do i learn how to draw or do i learn how to code or unity it self

Hey thomas brush I'm a fan. So I need you to answer this question how do make art into your game like you're not using tilemaps so how you do it

nothing like a brazilian meme at 3:12! Love u Thomas

An alternative name for C# could be D flat :)

But which app do we use to create a game

3:25 please i hope you can awnser this question, im am about to learn unity and i am stucked right there xD But how do you fix bugs and problems if you don't study C#.

Developer naming process: binary = 2 assembly = because it put everything together. c = compiled c++ = because it added to c c# = because it has 4 + (it’s 2 times better than 2) We developers are straight forward with names truly did not want to make it complicated. Please don’t be afraid of C# Disclaimer: none of the above is a better language than the other one is built on top of each other and used for different things.

It's unreal just how flexible unity is.

I've recently started learning blender. I'm definitely gonna start learning unity. I'm not sure if I need to learn audacity though because I'm a music producer and I use flstudio. Can I use flstudio or does audacity have some kind of feature that flstudio doesn't?
