Dude if this is all in 6 months.. you have an amazingly bright future ahead of you!

My god, this is a lot of dedication for both unreal and blender, I started blender recently but have been doing unreal for 2 years and I still can’t do half the things you’ve done

I cannot believe you learned, experimented, and implemented all of these different softwares in just 6 months... that's insane! the progress and speed are so good! double subscribe

Amazing progress for just 6 months! I’m excited to see how far you go.

Great look back! I can't wait to see what you show off next!

I think you should add an ant character. They could have mini skies on their middle arms/legs, which they use while leaning in turn.

Wow amazing progress! I’ve been wanting to learn unreal for a long time, these kinds of videos really give a ton of motivation!

Heartwarming ending. Love to see you grow. Best to you.

Huge respect on the progress you have made! Learning UE5 currently and this video sure helps a lot on how to tackle the problem of learning the engine.

Looks great. Very inspiring. Been dipping into unreal and blender as well. Love the look, love the dedication. Congrats on what you've made and learned so far!

Unbelievable dedication. Great work. That part where you said that boredom is the enemy and doing something you really enjoy I think it is one of the main reason towards your progress.

I just started my first game project on Unreal Engine and this video really motivates me to keep it going! I really like the way you tackled every stage of the development and how it came out so far. I can see the passion on your video and thank you for sharing your journey with us! You have a talent for it 🔥

Great video. I enjoyed seeing your game's progression and it gave me great motivation.

This is absolutely awesome, glad I ran across your video and channel.

The progress is amazing and it’s been fun keeping up with the game.

This is awesome, i hope to get to your skill level! Seems like you have great follow through on the game.

This is really inspirational and your learning philosophy to avoid burnout is spot on. Stay interested, stay motivated. The assumption everyone is able to follow a linear learning track is very dated. Best of luck with the game, it's on my wishlist!

Wow, amazing progress! Keep it up🔥

I love the starting animation it’s amazingly clean!

I absolutely love your content and mindset towards projects like this, I'd love for this game to possibly be console ported after all of the finishing touches have been made!

This was such an interesting and informative video! As a junior software developer, I completely related to all of the struggles you described in your video about motivation, the optimal way to do something etc, and I gotta say, you definitely hit the spot for me! Sharing my progress isn't something I thought about doing, but I can definitely see how it can build some positive pressure to get something done. The desire to make something the best you can at any given point can immensely hurt your workflow, and I face this with tutorial hell on a day to day basis. As soon as I feel like I'm not educated enough about a certain topic in my programming journey, I immediately go to the extreme and buy a whole course or watch an hour long video just on one small subject. Sometimes jumping in the water is the way to go, and by looking at your progress, I can see where I went wrong because you did such an amazing job. You deserve much more views on this video, such a well rounded approach. GL HF!

You should be super proud of what you’ve accomplished and keeping it up! Also reaching out for help when needed to get you over hurdles and unstuck. Wish listing now for when I eventually find friends who want to play with me locally ;-)

Great video bro I really appreciate the open and honest advice, Good luck with your game :3

Thanks for the video as it has inspired me to try Unreal and have a go! Your game looks really professional already.

These videos are a big inspiration for me as I continue on my own 3D design journey….can’t wait for the next one! Great job!

well done! Very inspiring story!

Well done , keep the hard work 👏

you're awesome!! got me motivated!

The physics look like they are going to be a lot of fun. I'm psyched!!

Amazing to see the progress Solomon! 🤩 The game is now added to my wishlist! 😎👍🏻

Amazing video. You not only have great learning skills but also amazing storytelling. I hope I can make a similar video in... 5.5 months 💪Cheers and gl in all your projects!

I wishlisted it!! Can't wait to make a video on it when it drops!

Immediate follow, great inspiration! I love using substance painter + blender workflow for textures. I'm extremely amateur but that workflow intrigued me enough when starting my gamedev journey to really hook me

6:05 ahahha yes, the illusive glove! keep making amazing videos :D i love watching these

Hahaha lovid this video!! Awesome progress on the game! Congrats!!

It looks awesome dude. Congrats.

Awesome. Gives me a lot of motivation to pursue this cause I have almost the same story as you. Right down to making space on my SSD to install Unreal lmao. Subscribed.

game is on the wishlist amazing work dude

Awesome work. Thanks for sharing.

The amount of dedication is unreal! ( Pun intended ) Learning all this stuff in 6 months is crazy and you even didn't mentioned the amount of work, you put in your videos.

Starting the adventure, and it's funny similar, very excited to learn and gain skills

Seeing the robot drop down with the sock, I thought a grappling hook would add 800% value to the fun of the game

this is great

Epic progress man! Also the characters are かわいい🌝

This is great 👍 I wish I could make progress for my stuff like you

looking great, bro!

GJ man, keep on it!

great work 👏

I’m at the stage of considering to learn to use UE5 but at 40 it feels daunting as… cheers for the simple advice… “just do what interests you” and see where it goes is probably my best place to start! 🤙 good luck with your game bro!

holy moly all this in 6 months, your going far!!!

dont stop plz, this keeps me going as well

Amazingly well put together script!

Wow this is incredible!

heck yeah dude this is sweet!

No doubt I’ll be playing this as soon as it releases

I hope that this game gets more attention, it looks amazingly fun!

6 months? That's A LOT of progress, you're so dedicated. Keep it up!

love the new edeting style

Good job !! 👍👍

Amazing dude

Interesting 🥳👍🏼 let’s goooo!

Bruh, nice work. Great progress! I hope it keeps improving. : ) Perhaps your might like trying 3D Coat for modelling/sculpting/UVs/texturing. It behaves fantastically well with UE5. Cheers!

1:48 this is so true I feel it to my core. The only I improved in Blender is because I searched up what interested me instead of just watching beginner tutorials. Doing that really helped me improve at a much faster pace. I did hit a plateau with lighting which detailed all the momentum I had going though but I will get back into it for sure. 🦆

me experience with ue is literally the same, cool vid btw!

That cheap "mocap" idea is genius! I'll be using this

the sock was the highlight of the video for me

Bro this is so cool

I feel for you. I picked up UE for a work project and they wanted something fairly quick. October to December and I had a flight simulator. At least I didn't have to do the simulation part, just plugged in one we already had to drive the objects in the display. UE is one of those tools that has so much that it can be overwhelming if you try to take it all in at once.

This is next lvl

Wish I was this fast I’ve been at it for a year and haven’t gotten this much done ✅ thanks for the inspiration amigo

Bro, you are gifted.

That water game looks dope!!!

I cant belive how good its looking

im on 1month and half and i only have learned a lot and i love it! i tryed to make an game for about 3-5 years with no sucess due to don't learn the basics, now i hit the road of learn anything to make my game, im loving it even one day per week i get stressed and stop from time to time but i wont surrender, honestly UE5 is an amazing tool and has a lot of improvements, that video also inspired me but im a huge fan of unreal from very early, i think i couldnt go until that video,nanite is the ''must'' im also having a lot of issues on material export to unreal, after search much and see many videos on youtube i found that the best way to make material is: just export the texture if you hand paint it and setup everything on unreal, i also dedicated sometime learning some ''material'' stuff from unreal,there are some oficial videos that can help you on this from unreal guys. im still thinking about substance painter but there is an guy who did an cabin's video on unreal, he is PRO on these things about film making on blender and he says that unreal dont recognize everything you exported about material,so whats the best way to save time and avoid re-work than setup directly on unreal?? im loving to see your progress and its very very cool and fun as i can see.

You can be Game Designer, Level Designer or Game Artist. They are in need than gameplay programmer now, since the UE engine is working fine.

6months is insane

can't wait to get into UE myself

Bro very proud of you, looks amazing, I wanna design games as well, and I’m trying to get my 10 year old son to start learning coding. For Christmas next year I wanna create my 3 kids an open world game where they’re the main characters and can play as themselves. Please give me ideas for what they can do in the game

That deigetic menu is 🤩

Brooo.... that start menu looks sick...

New solomon gumball upload!!

extremely cool

yiiiipiie love ur game

All that in only 6 months??????? That's amazing good work. I just downloaded UE5 today and found your video looking for a How To Get Started. Ill take your advice and learn a bit at a time. Also if you are ever looking for play testers who give solid feedback, I would love to test...

would be a great addition to have the character selection be inside a warm cabin

You are going to blow up as a game dev I'm telling you

Dude i'm jealous... I always wanted to start this journey and started a few times...but i'm 32 and so much stuff is going on that I dond't find the time for all that. But there is a silver lining. I hope to get started once I sorted some thing out in my life. Thanks anyway for the inspiration and keep up the good work.

I was playing my Dance Central game and looked it up online. It written in unreal engine. That's why I am here.

As a wannabe gamedev, all the progress you did in 6 months I would expect to do in 2 years, congratulations.

Your self scrutiny at your level of skill is both inulting and inspiring lmao

The world needs more chibi robo like games, but your new game is very cool too

cool video)

awesome

i like your videos ❤

BRO WAKE UP NEW SOLOMON GUMBALL VIDEO

10:47 Head reveal😱!!

This a crazy amount of progress in 6 months for solo development.

so cool

Maybe you could add something like the blue shell in Mariokart, so you can hit the person in the lead. You could make the penguin fly to the person in the lead and attack him. Also you could do something like the ink, where you partially blind the other players, it could be called “blizzard” or something, and that’s exactly what it would be, a blizzard.

Dude it’s awesome. Keep it up man. Btw, what laptop r u using for all these works?
