  I'm just finishing up a computer science degree, and I really want to get into video game development. I play indie games almost constantly, and I love the idea of making something of my own that I myself and other people can enjoy, but I keep holding myself back because I'm scared and don't know where to start. This video was definitely helpful and inspiring to me, and it makes me feel like I actually have a shot at gaining the skills I need and making something cool!

  Bro I just learned that the college Im planning on attending next year also has Japanese courses, which I've wanted to do since middle school. Combining that with game development could lead me to working for a Japanese developer like FromSoftware!

  These videos are really helpful, I watch them with my friends on Voicely whenever we practice coding. We all agree that we learned more from YouTube videos than from school lol

  Interesting, I am currently about to finish a Python course, soon I will start advanced Python, in the meantime, I am learning C++ and to tell the truth, it was not difficult to understand the syntax of a different language, unfortunately I do not have enough equipment to start developing small and simple video game prototypes, although I have several prototype ideas in mind, I know that if I practice every day, apart from the fact that I will continue to develop my programming logic further, developing the prototype of a video game will not be difficult, maybe a little, but with enough knowledge, it will even be fun, don't give up, future developer, remember that if you can imagine it, you can program it. <3

  I've been feeling pessimistic about game game development but this showed me that there are many other roles that I could be good at

  I like the nods to &apos;fanboyism&apos; in this presentation 😄.<br>I was unlucky that in my college years, you generally only had 1 option in IT. Which were basically programming for databases and networking. While I specifically went to learn coding and (graphics) designing to create games. I learned the graphics part on my own, also because I had a real knack and passion for it. Coding was more difficult, as information to code for gaming or even a game-engine, were hard to come by (or expensive).<br>Now, almost 2 decades further, our country finally is getting a gaming-industry and there are classes you can follow. I hope I can start in September and hopefully they&apos;re not too basic, as I already have some basics.<br>I already tried creating a game twice, sort of. First time was more than a decade ago, supposed to be a fighting game or beat&apos;em up. I got my character modelled (not textured) and even rigged for facial animation. But I soon realized that coding and balancing a fighting game is really hard to do. So much to consider and take into account. And there wasn&apos;t even a decent free engine that could provide what I needed.<br>Two years ago, I started again, but with another genre I liked and more manageable (for a single game dev), &nbsp;an arcade racer. Luckily I was able to pick up Blender easily where I left of (they also made it more user-friendly). And found a decent free game-engine: Godot. Atleast good enough to give me the taste of game-creation and create a tiny concept. I have some videos on my game-dev channel: &apos;Close Call Racing&apos;on channel &apos;eyeEmotion&apos;.<br>I have been on a break from it because of renovations at home, which I have to execute myself. And I&apos;m changing to Unreal Engine, since its change in licensing and it&apos;s more friendly to devs who are more into designing than programming. I just need that game-dev 1 year course to get the ball rolling again and keep me motivated when I get stuck and the information I need.
