yo, i dunno why but this got recommended to me. i admire your passion, and you've definitely got the drive to succeed (without it you cannot survive game dev, lol), but your assumptions may not be entirely correct... databases aren't actually too impactful in system design and development, specifically for games. also, understanding a coding language is not going to make game dev a breeze. since you're using the language within the constraints of a game engine like Unreal, you'll have to deal with the quirks and eccentricities of the engine itself as well as how the engine applies its scripting language (in this case, C++) additionally, you could be a really good developer in the technical sense, and still... kinda suck at design, lol. knowing how to build a level and program a movement system doesn't necessarily mean you can make it feel good, rewarding or intuitive. i can put cool maths for my damage calculations in, but if im not making it worth interacting with the combat, thats separate from anything you can fix with tightening your code. regardless, from what you've said, i see that you've got what it takes, lol. dont lose that spark, you got this (sorry for the essay in response to what is probably your college essay repurposed into a TH-cam video LOL, hope im not coming off as too patronizing)
I really appreciate the feedback. Feedback like this helps me truly understand my path. I’m glad you pointed out the flaws in my assumptions. Guess I’ll just have to do a deeper dive into the Game Development career lol
Cool video, here at Gamecrafters Collective we're running a profit-sharing game making co-operative enterprise. If you want to work with artists, designers, musicians, marketeers and get a game built, tested and published, let me know, we're always looking for new talent, in return (and in addition to profits) you'll get the mentoring needed to become a solid team focused engineer. Oh and re: databases, I wouldn't worry about it, they're easy! My initial advice would be learn the language and engine, from there you'll know what kind of game you need and whether it needs data (e.g. football sim = massive db of stats = data model and optimisation, or leaderboards = document storage (nosql) etc) at which point you go off and learn data, ditto infrastructure requirements when you need to scale etc etc etc. Nobody learns everything up front and it's more helpful to learn each module in depth at the point you need it rather than trying to learn bits of everything. You need the context for everything to sink in properly. Hope that helps!
I wasn’t expecting this many people to view this lol , but nonetheless thanks everyone for supporting and watching.
Nice! As a suggestion, If you haven’t already I highly suggest joining a game jam.
this vid has won algorithm game. you gonna grow quicker after this vid
Good luck on your journey!
I feel like you got the determination to go far! Good luck, just don't burn out, haha.
This was AMAZING!!!!! Congratulations 🎉 I'm so freaking proud of you

@@YungKing_ hell yeah thats the mindset , you learn as you go
Good luck my friend, can't wait to see what you can achieve

Awesome Nephew❤
Nice video. I feel as though the music track is too loud until 2:50.
Proud of you ☀️🌙✨✨
This got recommended to me... Should I take it as a calling?😅
Music was louder than your voice
To make games?
Why do people pay for college to get into game development? You can just learn it on your own, so many free resources online.
Some people need the discipline of an educational setting to keep them on track. Some people also just like to learn in person and with others.
0:24 Starting with Stardew Valley? No wonder you want to be a game developer.
How to study with you?
a: youre a masochist
I am in the similar boat in terms of goal and skill level looking forward for your progression have my sub
