5 Years of Making Games in Unity!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 พ.ค. 2024
- Five years ago I discovered Unity. These are some of the games and learning experiences that are the result. I decided, rather than forgetting about them that I would share them with you!
Over the past 5 years I have made dozens of new Unity projects and almost none of them turned into a final product. You could say that most of them turned into nothing, but I think of them all as learning experiences. After I lost interest in one game I was able to use the knowledge that I learned to make my next game better.

will u make more vids ]
how did you run 3d games on that old laptop(the first one) i have a slightly better one and it barely loads 2d
Jesus loves yall if yall didn't know come to Christ repent non denominational
Can you make planet pioneer for pc too?
Can you make planet pioneer for pc too?
you make me feel motivated to make another game that i will never finish
Go for it! I am sure you will still learn a lot from doing it! :p
@@xzippyzachx This is 100% true started many projects made like 2 "games" learned a ton
@@xzippyzachx youre underrated man you deserve more subs and biews
I hate how relatable this is

When I was 14 and thought of developing my own game, I was so overwhelmed by the code I ended up quitting. You are so talented! I’m gonna stick to playing video games lmao.
You just gotta dive into some tutorial videos. You will learn! :p
@@xzippyzachx my small brain will forget EVERYTHING
@@mrteco4236 true i uninstalled ue4 for about 5 Times before saying fck it and then watched a 5 hour Video and finally started
@@mrteco4236 sure the Industry leader game engine is Bad sure use godot haha
When i was 14 i downloaded gamemaker tutorials, changed the sprites and pherhaps edited a few things then called it my own, lol.
the fact you even thought the robot saw himself as the hero for fighting pollution is really mesmerizing, probably a kind of game I'd be interested if released on Steam. Great evolution in your projects, btw
Thanks! :p
8:40 - Dude legitly invented Rainbow Six Siege even before it was born!
Naaa, where do you think I got the idea from!
IT HAS DOORS! and a better Ump-45
There was a planned gamemode for Team Fortress 2 that was kind of like R6 and that was in the late 90's so valve did it first
@@PlifeXD idea
Rainbow six is 23 years old

lol!
NOT THE CUBE!
@Causal Blueberry AHHHHHHHHHHH
@@xzippyzachx I wanna make games🙂 where do I start. I don't know coding
@@bestgamer1986 By watching tutorials!
Thanks for sharing! I just started learning Unity about 2 weeks ago and I've been working on a simple game, so that way it gets finished and released. I have notes about other games I've thought of, so I can't wait to make more games
Good luck!
Good job mate. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! :p
The fact he’s still replying to the comments, so much dedication lol
Dedication leads to success! :p
@@xzippyzachx yes
He’s still doing it 2 years later
4:46: srsly, I got jumpscared by a block...... *CONE ON*
15 year old me got you!
Cone on!
Interesting to see all the different prototypes! Thanks
Glad you liked them! :p
Congrats on your progress! Thanks for sharing, you did inspire many of us to keep going, thank you!
Glad I could! Thanks!
As a 13 year-old gamedev, this video inspired me to start learning Unity and after a year of learning how to use Unity I have a game up on Steam. Thanks for making this video!
Now 15, releasing my second game on to Steam on August 16th :D
Great to hear! Good job! :p
@@ifh Worn Thin on steam, thanks for asking!
Checked out worn thin , nice job as another 13 year old developer.
@@pengoo2200 thanks!
for a 13 year old your doing very well checked out your game looks good
Wow most of your games can be combined into one huge game, just imagine a bunny shooting while on top on a plane
lol! :p
In space
On mars!
I would pay to play that game 😂😂😂
me to
Congratulations dude, great job!
Thanks!
Really fascinating and inspiring. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it! :p
This is probably the most underrated TH-cam channel
Thanks! :p
1:23 those side step animations are really cool bty
lol Thanks!
Sometimes when i'm feeling down due to not being great at developing games i come and watch this video to get motivated again, I hope i will be a great dev just like u some day!
You can do it! :p
This video gives me a lot of ideas to make game! Thanks for making this video
Your Welcome!
AAA titles these days "Yea I all most finished this game and then i got bored"
lol!
@Something Dumb bfv cough
5 years and only 3k subs. Thats actually really sad, you deserve way more than just 3k.
I mean I only started posting more regular content in the last year but yeah its slow growth :p
@@xzippyzachx yeah but I think you will get a lot more subscriptions in the future 👍
I have 7 year channel and only 106 subs
3 months later 13k+subs
15k
I really like the simulations. Great job!
Glad you like them! :p
this is way too relatable, I've been making games since 2018 and you have some really creative and fun, high quality projects that can definitely find a way out to the public. I love how you have your own style and make your own stuff, especially the meshes. Really inspiring
Thanks! :p
Oh boy, you make me feel like I'm always tackling too big of projects and pulling them off like a pro with Band-Aids.
Saying that you where 14 yrs old when you made planetary pioneer gave me a lot of inspiration because I am actually working on coding myself and I am 13 yrs old thank you.
Yep, I started making video games when I was like 12 so you're just at the right age!
Nice I’m 13 too and started to code too
Sorta same here I started to learn c# and I'm gonna start doing unity soon
Same , I am 13 too
Same
I like ur vid and your learning experiences. Sounds like some pretty great ideas
Glad you like them!
I like the fact that you didn't give up on your game career. You renovated your games nonstop. And the games are awesome BTW.
Thanks! :p
interesting stuff. just yesterday i started learning unity figuring how to do things like this. seeing what you made at 14 really boosts my confidence with what im tyring out thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! :p
I still remember you making Soaring with the Ancients and that one bridge scene you used for the FPS project. Interesting video dude :)
Ah yes, I recycled the bridge scene from one of my blender projects and used it in my FPS game. Good eye! Thanks!
the side step just kill me ! keep it up
:p
super interesting to watch! thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
It was really great to watch your journey. I'll follow your channel, and see where you are in another five years. :) All the best for your future endeavours.
Thanks!
8:37 Yeah it really does! I've tried making multiplayer games with unity before and it involves a lot more than i expected
Yep! I am making a new one right now!
I was thinking lots about trying to make a game and this has inspired me to give it a go thx alot
Glade I could help! :p
Awesome work, this video was very inspiring. You are a great developer
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Great job accomplishing so much when you were so young. It's great to see how many different genres you tried too. Would love to see what you are working on currently!
Thanks! Check out the other videos on my channel then :p
Holy crap the ray casting with the vehicles. That’s crazy cool
Probably not the best way to do it, but yeah it was pretty cool!
@@xzippyzachx well for AI that is intelligent.
This is still one of my favorite channel. Helps me learn unity lol.
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for sharing. This was very insightful
Glad you enjoyed it! :p
You just inspired me to actually work even harder on learning game making
Glad to hear that! :p
When you made “think time” it was before “superhot” was released and they have the same concept. Not sure if they stole the idea since the idea for the game was made in 2013.
SUPERHOT was in alpha when I made Think Time. I got the idea from them still :p
@@xzippyzachx ohh ok
SUPER. HOT. love that game haha
@@xzippyzachx I just realized that superhot also technically inspired Milkman Karlson.
Wow these are really cool! Keep it up!
Thanks! Will do! :p
wow this is very helpful, im about the same age as you when you started game dev. and i just started game dev, it is very cool to see your progress and how many games you made witout giving up!
Glad I could give you inspiration. Good luck with your game dev!
damn I always felt bad not finishing my games but I guess its okay to move on to something else because through those learning experiences once i find the right one ill be able to finish .....thanks for the inspiration.
Exactly! Your welcome! :p
I hope this channel blows up with subs, epic content😁👍
Yeah that would be cool! :p
Damn this is actually insanely cool, even the really simple ones are really interesting
Glad you liked them! :p
I just started learning about unity almost a month ago.
My first project is a 3d survival game which is crazy because I don't even understand the basics yet. I keep things simple, and then I see other people solve the same problem as me with professional and effective scripts. I feel so overwhelmed.
Haiz, there's so much I need to learn.
You are so good, so talented, I admire you so much. Watching your clip gave me the motivation to keep going. Thank you :D.
There is no rush! Lots of things to learn but also lots of time to do it. Take your time and enjoy working on your projects :p
@@xzippyzachx Thank youuu^^
3 years later and you still respond to comments. Anyways your first games are like 1000x better than my best game!!
Yep and thanks! :p
Lots of neat ideas. Imagine if you'd actually decided to NOT quit one, how awesome your game would be today! :) I got into Unity a few years back myself, but I stayed on my first game for 3 years and I'm proud of it. Commit to succeed!
Yeah, hopefully I will finish a full game some day! Still learned a lot from all these game though. :p
Ya i agree with that, but honestly. 3 Years is way to much just for 1 Project. It's not really a efficient way to learn and grow. I'm not trying to hate or something :D
Keep up the good work ma man
Thanks! :P
Thanks for the motivation
Glad I could help :p
The autonomous vehicle sim was actually really cool. I can see that being very useful
Yeah its fun to watch!
@@xzippyzachx it is
I have no interest in game development, but I love watching videos of people showing their progress. I am comfortable as hell in Visual Studio for work-related stuff, but I wouldn't know where to start in the game dev realm! I look forward to seeing future updates.
Cool! :p
Keep grinding, you have a lot of talent
Appreciate it!
Planetary Pioneer must be one of my favourite of your games! Great work!
Thanks! :p
@@xzippyzachx heyy!
@@xzippyzachx the jetpack thing is used in astroneer™ ,very similar to yours
I like ur games bro keep it up 👍🏻
+ will u make a tutorial of how to move cars in systemic form like autonomous vehicle simulation pls 😅
When I was 14 I tried to do some sort of sandbox physics game and it was my first game. It was too ambitious so I quited because I was scared of that much code and stuff. I still wanting to learn code though but I don't know how.
You are inspiring :p
Just start smaller. Start by following a bunch of tutorial series on TH-cam. :p
Looks so good!. I have been learning for about the same time and not even close to this much done lol
Thanks! Everyone learns at a different pace!
I keep rewatching this video because its so interesting
Glad you liked it!
I like multi player FPS if you actually released that one on like Microsoft or something it will make my day
Have you checked out my new multiplayer game videos?
Not on Microsoft store as downloads fail on that it would be better if used a website
This is really, really inspiring can’t wait to see your progress in further years! 👍
Thanks! :p
You really deserver way more subscribers!!! You had so many good ideas. I wish that today's games were different. Without one ad every 3 seconds.
Thanks! :p
@@xzippyzachx wow that was fast
Thanks For sharing!
Sure thing!
Man you literally did everything I want, drone, robots and gameprogramming, and my favorite--AI algorithm(what I'm planning is using Genetic Algorithm for a car racing game). I have already make a fps game(shitty code struct though) and MCU robot, I feel confident to be a man like you after watching your video.
Glad I could boost your confidence! :p
Planetary pioneer seems pretty good! I'm gonna go try it!
Its pretty old but hope you like it
nice video ,it inspire me to continue making games for education and fun.thanks man!
Glad to hear that!
That game with the villagers sounds so cool you shoulld continue that one!
I might make a game like it again some day
Wow 5 years already, I started like a year ago. :D
Cool channel btw, definitely left you a sub, keep going!
Btw. your art portfolio looks amazing! :D
Thanks! Much appreciated!
This video was so awesome to watch and enjoy to night and good video man :]
Glad you enjoyed!
@@xzippyzachx 👍
was fun to watch, i started learning unity in april, currently im working on a game that i'm planning to release on mobile, i hope i ll get to finish it:D
Nice! Good Luck! :p
this is really inspiring and its my dream to be game developer
Glad I could inspire you!
Wow! The first background Song was the background Song of my first game
i loved the idea of that RTS game. looked really good and could become something great
Yeah it was cool, I might work on it again some day
this is absolutely AWESOME
Glad you liked it!
You deserve to be Popular like Dani, The Milkman. Keep up the Good work!
Thanks, will do!
*karlson vibe intensifies*
Hey man, I've been inspired by the far cry games (mainly 2 and 3) to make my own fps game, and watching this got me believing I can do it too. Thanks for this vid. 😊
Glad to hear it!
How's it going?
@@BeardBarians Pretty decent, you can move around in a world that's currently only some mountains and 1 village. I've also nailed the recoil and am working on ai path finding. I wanna develop a playable prototype before I move on with the story and world.
@@SouperBly Sounds good!
Keep up the good work! 👍
Thanks, will do!
ayo bro you are a legend i tried to make games on roblox for 2 years and i liked it so much so after a year (2022) i tried to make games in unity but it was really hard but now you gave me inspiration to continue tysm
Thanks! Good luck!
You can really tell the progress! Awesome! Especially the logic behind the last one with the cars, it's something that can get you in a Tesla like company to code the actual self driving cars! So keep up the good work!
Thanks!
ur first game is the one i can make after 10 YEARS OF DEVELOPING
You’re just dumb then
Hey, better late than never, right?
Oof
:p
@@xzippyzachx hi
Love this kind of video!
Glad you enjoyed it! :p
The first is my favourite😂
Nice games, congrats!
Thanks!
planetary pioneer actually sounds really cool, it has some serious potential
Its budget No Mans Sky
@@alienzgaming3550 BUT for android
as a 12 year old game dev this motivated me a lot to make more games that I won't finish making XD
Heck yeah!
@@xzippyzachx I already have like 5 games that I haven't finished yet XD
@@analienfrommarsy311 dude thats amazing! start small you have a lot of time. I am a 14 y/o game dev trying to make a full good game. I have made some games, but most of them are too boring to play. So what i would say is to make simple games and then move on. Hope you have a wonderful day :D
@@devdutmn9608 thanks a lot ever since that comment I have successfully made my character move and jump on surface and currently trying to figure out how to kill my player when it touches certain things ☺️
Good games. Most of them are complete I believe, no matter it is small or big. Seeing this video and progress you made, made me motivated to start Unity journey.
Glad I could motivate you! Thanks :p
that cat owner game was really cool I love it
Thanks!
You made me feel that i have to again install unity that i have uninstalled recently
Nice! Go for it!
Wow, this is amazing.
Curious. When you first started learning Unity/3d modeling/programming, was there any books or tutorials that you used? Did you do like a small tutorial and just started making things? I'm very curious how you kept pushing through and continued to make various games. I think one of the biggest challenge for me is staying persistent and staying consistent with learning.
What would be some of the tips/advice/tricks you yourself used to keep on pushing through?
When I first started I watched a lot of tutorials on TH-cam for Unity. I also just googled anything I didn't know how to do and usually found a solution. As for staying persistent as you could see in this video I basically just started new projects when I got a new idea and worked on it until I got bored or another idea instead. Glad you liked my video. Good luck! :p
@@xzippyzachx Yep, me too. I am nearly intermediate at unity. And yes, the boredom problem happens with me too. Thus now I only plan small games.
This is my 4th time watching this video this week. Beautiful.
Wow, thank you!
@@xzippyzachx I'm back again :)
back again
love the inclusion of the old dantdm song for the blue minecart segment very clever
:p
6:30 reminds me of Ylands. It’s a game about survival on steam btw
Yeah I played Ylands. My games have a similar low poly art style yes
I was 13 when I started attempting to use Unity and Unreal Engine, but my PC was an absolute potato at that time and I could barely run Unity and Unreal was even worse, so every time I started working on something I would give up because of constant lag.
Recently though (I'm now 15), I got a new PC which has some pretty good specs and I've finally commit to learning Unity :D
I'm currently making a 2D physics-based fighting game where there are 2 circles for players and you have to defeat the other player (both players are human controlled) by charging them, baiting them into hazards, etc. based on a game I made in Algodoo (2D scriptable physics simulator) a year ago.
Sounds like an interesting project. Good luck! :p
@@xzippyzachx Thanks!
post some videos about it please!
@@adelnoor That would be a cool idea to do but I won't be able to add voice partly because I'm awkward af and also because I don't have a good microphone and I'm not sure how I would set up the videos even if I did do voiceless devlogs (also I have basically 0 experience being a TH-camr)
I hear the 8 bit Powerup song. Absolutely love this playlist, brings back memories.
Nice!
you make me motivated to start taking unity seriously
Nice! Glad I could! :p
I’d love to see a multiplayer FPS remake!
Check out my channel! I am making a new one right now!
I am in the second year of my programming journey (I also started in unity when I was 14) and I hope it goes as well as it did for you, also those were some pretty cool projects, and I can really relate to how you made your projects.
Nice! Good Luck! :p
This video got me excited on creating games from unity! I just started yesterday i have no clue on what to do, but I really want to learn.
You can do it! Watch lots of tutorial videos. It takes time to learn everything but as long as you keep at it you will eventually make an awesome game! :p
@@xzippyzachx what kind of system you're working? Like specifications? Can you please share it elaborately? What requirements are needed to Run Unity smoothly?
Wow, this is amazing. I wish you all the luck in the world in game development if you're looking into having this as your full time career. :)
Thanks!
