"Game Design"

@@gerry3755 ?

It's not helped that you also need peripheral knowledge from other fields. I come from an art background (modeling, texturing, procedural texturing, and photoscanning) and I'm still having a hard time getting to know game engines. The problem is that you can have a lot of skills and still be set back because you only have so much time to develop skills. As of now I've only done one actual game project with my wife for her master's thesis, and that was last year. The only thing we outsourced were sound effects and a single song. Still plan on doing more, but pre-production can take a lot of time depending on what you're doing. As you said, game design is so fucking complex.

@Astrid Alanizblender is easy

I got Blender in 2016, got overwhelmed, abandoned it, went back to it months later, did one or two short 3D modeling courses, and got addicted. A good thing is finding something to get hooked on, mine was character modeling, and I recommend starting with robots, as they have simple geometry and are easier to rig.

Us Blender users fear the cube overlord. It looms over us, constantly, watching, as we continually fight the war to delete it. Our battle never ends, only finds victory in small wins. Unity users embrace the dark magic, use it, mold it to their will. Taking the voodoo of the 3-dimensional rectangular prism. It is a symbol of death that only a game designer can harness. Only someone so devoid of a life, of light, of hope can possibly handle it's raw power, and only game developers can be brought to such a decrepit mental state.

not necessarily. when you are learning something, it is very important to actually be interested in what you are learning, so making a game is a good way to make learning all the tools you need fun. it might not be the most efficient way, but it is the easiest way for some people (including me)

So what is a FIRST step learning programming?

@@durratulaishah3703 Learn logic. Logic is the step 1 for every lenguage.

@@durratulaishah3703 print hello world

@@durratulaishah3703 Pick a language. I'd recommend learning a simple language like PHP or JavaScript at first. (Not anything Python-like considering we want to head into using either Unity or Unreal, and having Python syntax stuck in your brain will make it a pain) While you technically can make games in them, it's not really recommended (especially not in PHP). They're good languages to know though because they'll allow you to get used to basic programming syntax, logic and principles. They are also languages geared towards web development, and I personally think starting programming by making websites is one of the best ways to start. After you've built a few websites with PHP and/or JS, learned OOP and MVC and have generally gotten the hang of basic programming you can move onto learning a language like C++ or C#. I recommend C# due it being way easier. This also means that you'll be using Unity. Before using Unity though, try and make some simple CLI applications with C# to get the hang of it. After that you can actually get started on working with Unity! ..or you can skip JS and/or PHP and go straight to C#. This would put you more on the Java, Kotlin, C# kind of path of programming - which is a very fruitful one. I personally think learning a language that's not 100% OOP at first is easier and prevents people from getting filtered. PHP and JS are also just really easy languages. .. ..or you can be an absolute gigachad and use Godot. Reason for Godot is that it's a much simpler engine to work in and it supports a lot of languages. You can use JS, Python, GDScript (Python-like), C#, Lua, Rust, TypeScript (JS but sane), Clojure, D, Haskell, Go, Kotlin etc. Then again, it's not as powerful as Unity and Unreal but for a beginner it's more than powerful enough. Or you can go CNile and write C with OpenGL bindings. Also, maybe consider getting into Roblox unironically? Roblox Studio is decent enough and it supports Lua which is a very simple language. Actually a very good first step into game development.

8. Remember that your concept is pretty cool and it's rewarding to see stuff work out 9. Make some progress

He left youtube the day after i started learning unity. Jokes aside,his videos really helped me in feeling comfortable with unity.

Brackeys is really bad and most of his tutorials are wrong and teach incredibly basic stuff that people should learn how to learn on their own. The tutorials are worthless, you just need to know how to use C# and read an API / use an IDE and you can figure out everything he tells you (which is mostly just him verbalizing the documentation). The Unity community is made up of people that followed 1-2 Brackeys tutorials and then spam reddit and the forums asking people to basically fix their code for them because they don't know what it does. After waiting 1-2 days with no reply, they just quit. How he convinced everyone to use rigidbodies for their characters when Unity literally has a "Character Controller" that is 100x better 99% of the time...I will never know.

Time to learn a new program 🥲

And the resolution of the screen has to be just right or else UI elements might be off the screen or the text might be too small to read or so large it overlaps with other text.

I abandoned unity UI stuff entirely. Anything on a canvas has a ton of overhead for canvas draws that regular gameobjects dont have. Also they dont benefit from frustrum culling, and the way redraws works is weird and kind of laggy for reasons I dont fully understand. Like if you manually cull a canvas and then uncull it, the unculling happens instantly but then you cannot change the sprite on that object for a full 5 miliseconds. It just completely ignores my commands. Then it starts working again. Its real strange and maybe a unity bug. You can still create a great pseudo-UI using stacked cameras. Just put one camera as the ui and set its culling mask to cull every other layer, then set the base camera to only cull the UI layer.

@@Anon-te6uq UI optimisation works by reducing batches, which can be easily done by using canvases in a proper way Atleast, it seems better than projecting your 3d objects on your camera every frame optimisation wise

@@ProgZ I switched from UI objects to standard gameobjects and saw my FPS increase by over 100 FPS. I have a lot of objects though because they are inventory cells. 480 onscreen at once.

@@Anon-te6uq 100 fps?? Wow Did you profile?

nah he right fr

Unity "tutorials" are worse than "not helpful" they are actually harmful, you can get really depressed not being able to get past the first video thinking you can't do it because you're dumb, after all it's the first step. But really the only way to learn unity or any other program is not looking at any tutorial, look at what you want to do, and look at the official documentation on what can be done with a tool, it's also really helpful to know instantly if the game engine is missing a crucial feature you might need.

I'm sorry, but I think you meant *🅱️EAN*

I wanted to make interactive movie game. I had 90% of game made in blender but since i dont know how to code i want able to put it together into a game. It took me ages to render it on my crappy laptop. On paper it sounds easy, slap a menu, put some choices between videos that will activate certain videos but in reality i didnt even know how to begin making game. I left it for later in hopes i learn how to code or maybe find people who want to do it instead of me however few month later my son deleted folder with all my work when reinstalled Windows. He is lucky i am very forgiving and didnt even tell him what he did (i just said to warn me next time he reinstall OS). Unfortunately with years of work lost i never opened blender again

You have to look for specific tutorials that teaches something you want to learn made by good youtubers like brakeys or something. If you just try to vaguely learn the engine you won't go anywhere. The best way to learn is by doing stuff and learning as you go. I learned with tutorials and ended up making a kind of game no one will make tutorials for by just separating the gameplay in small parts then looking for tutorials that shows how to do those small parts. Glad I left college for KZfaq lol

is it really better to sit down and do it yourself with Google as a guide? /genq i've never tried that before

Man if you're talking about brackeys and you don't understand that than you're not make up for game dev

@@sneesnaa yea, for me the best way to learn developer related stuff is to create your own project, your own idea...

I advise you to learn the fundamentals of game development/low-level programming first, taking any amount of shortcuts will not help you on the long run, you'll lose days and even months of debugging and may even burnout and stop if you don't have at least a good understanding of how things work under the hood. It will take a long time to get there, but you'll feel more confident and help you achieve amazing things. Also learn math.

@@ryuk5709 that's why I spent nearly a year of my savings for programming lessons

Learning programming in a new language / system seems to occur in 3 month increments: 3 months before things begin to make sense & fall into place.. 3 more mos & I feel like "I'm finally making good progress". Another 3 = "oh yeah, I'm getting the hang of this". From then on, you keep learning new things & say to yourself, "ok I'll never learn it all, but I've proven to myself I can figure out whatever I need to know" with Google's help (or ai now!)

Also _Comment everything_ in the code, you don't think you'll remember if you come back cold in 3 months.

I found that some of Unity's own official tutorials are impossible because the documentation isn't up to date with the current version of the editor.

That's actually pathetic and bordering on unacceptable.

Brackey doesnt teach how to write efficient code, in most of his videos the code works fine without anything else happening but if you are working on an actual prototype most of his stuff is obsolete as it can make your performance go down, seek documentation and actual books about unity programming if you are serious about game development or just have a 2000 USD setup that can still run unoptimized code.

I agree, I started with unreal and I am doing the exact opposite of you, I am learning unity rn. If I started with unity it would have taken ages to understand 3d maths with vectors and stuff, whereas in ue you just drag the yellow pin out and you have all the possible operations. Also yes unity animation viewer is clearly broken, I needed to make a new prefab to offset the root in the hierarchy for it to preview correctly, and unity anim events, what a mess...

Lol I have been working on this game with another person since around two years ago when I was just getting my feet wet with Unity. The first things I programmed and made were very unstable and not really maintainable, and it still impacts the stability of the game today (I can't rewrite it because it's more than three thousand lines of code that I would need to rewrite by myself and it's really a waste of time). Now, I would say that now I am very fluent in Unity and C# and we are finally getting ready to publicly release the alpha version, then work on full release. If I could redo anything that I did two years ago, it wouldn't be making my old code more maintainable, it wouldn't be designing anything better, it would be making the game in Unity. Me and the other guy I'm working with to make this game are always ranting about "If only we started this project in Unreal". The reality is that I knew what Unreal was well before UE5 was announced, but I really didn't know how to use it so we just went with Unity. Now we have realized that we could've had AAA game graphics, much more performance, much more stability, much more flexibility, and much more of an enjoyable experience which is most important. There is no doubt that our next project once we have released this game will be made in Unreal. Either way, Unity will have a special place in my heart for being the engine that powered our first game.

@@nawakman not sure why you would to to unity from unreal but yes unitys animation system sucks. I wanted to make a openworld parkour game. I got a pretty robust OpenWorld algo figured out for detecting ledges in runtime but when i got to animations i just could not do it.

@@quickstergamestutorialsgam3899 honestly i was in the same boat. I had to learn unity because the college i did my game design degree in used unity. all assignments were all in unity. so i had no choice. To make it worst my uni completely switched to unreal in the next years class. Anyways even my uni no longer uses unity. About coding. its more difficult to use c++ in unreal than unity C# and you will probably have more crashes than unity. Once you get the hang of it, its really quite simple. I followed a few good udemy courses and was able to get a hang of it pretty quick. Also with unreal you dont even have to touch c++. You can make your whole game with blueprints alone.

@@pewpew518 Well I took a c++ course about 6 months ago around when ue5 was in early access and it was great. There was a lot of crashes because I wasn't used to null reference exceptions crashing the whole engine lmao. But I will get the hang of it probably in the near future. For now I'm stuck with unity.
