The rise of the unity guy 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
omg that was too fast 😂
@@theunityguy_yt u were too fast, you just uploaded a developement vid i wanst expecting an upload so soon
anyway, yeah the rise of the unity guy, i swear when i watched ur first vid you had like 1.5k subs now you have ~2.75k
haha thanks! I have to go back to school tomorrow (spring break is over), so I wanted to get one last upload out before I get super busy 😥
I feel like most indie games that get popular are the ones some youtubers play. They blow up in popularity for a month or so and then no one is playing it anymore. It really shows how powerful marketing can be but it makes me question if the game was even good if it gets dropped so fast. You also have to sift through a LOT of crap to find anything half decent. As you mentioned, 95% of games on steam are indie games. That's a lot of games. I think a big contributor to the rise of indie games is the fall of AAA games. I don't remember the last time I looked forward to a AAA release and wasn't hugely disappointed when it released.

Very inspiring video especially for us game devs
Indie games are the only way new things happen in gaming. Large developers aren't willing to take risk, so they keep making the same games over and over.
Nice, inspiring vid. All the best on your gamedev journey.
thanks ☺
He-... He-... He managed to go a whole video about Indie games without mentioning Hollow Knight once... is he... the chosen one?
lol 🤣
And when everyone is super... no one will be.
I also want to make my own game
After i clear my entrance exam 😌
best of luck!
Where did you go?
im still here but i've spent the last month and a half buried under final projects and exams (this week's exam week) - as soon as exams are done im going all in on the game and will post a bunch of devlogs over the summer
trust me, i don't even wanna study anymore
😭
@@theunityguy_yt good luck ok all of your projects and exams!
@@theunityguy_yt I’m ready for the vids!
@@Gaazzee thank you! I'm just dreaming about the free time im gonna have over the summer, especially considering that I don't have a job and am only gonna travel for a week during the entire summer :D
@@theunityguy_yt I am awaiting your videos. Your goated. You got me into development myself but not on unity. I am making a Roblox game called PVE arena. It has like 11 people online rn. Go check it out if you want.
It's hard already, i dont think that you should promote indie games if you want to atleast have a chance of living off of it :)
This could be compared to the programming boom during covid. "Make a quick course and have a 130k$ a year job doing front end!", do this course do that. multiple jobs.
And look at right now, kinda harsh because they spammed so much juniors, many people are losing jobs day by day. Do you want the same to happen to game dev? People spamming trash games and hiding the gems, or people putting the curve so high that you have to do AAA quality as an indie for people to get interested? The more in the dirt this gig is the better for truly passionate people. You should focus on bringing more people into gaming than game deving, and promoting buying games instead of pirating
*Promo SM* ✌️
bum
never
Personally, I would say macromedia flash, newgrounds, and other web-game services, were far more important for indie games and it's culture than the release of unity. I also think Steam should be highlighted too, were it not for their marketplace, the majority of big indie hits would have never caught on - being on steam can make or break an indie game.
great point! I didn't really explicitly talk about steam, but you're totally right considering that a lot of my sources are just steam analytics
Nice one buddy 👍🫡👌. I just WISH I can someday be as good as you :D
thank! If you see my videos just 2 years ago, they were TERRIBLE, so I'm sure with some practice, you'll be even better ☺
tysmmmm! Much appreciated coming from you man!@@theunityguy_yt
