Great insight thanks for making! This lead me to your great channel. I'm new to game dev but just trying to do a couple hours a day and learn so that one day I might be able to go full time :)
Thank you so much! Welcome! Feel free to join my discord or shoot me a message whenever if you’re ever in need of some game dev help - i’d be more than happy to assist! Best of luck :)
Ooooh, yeah that’s exactly how i felt. My days vary so much but i kinda just went with it. honestly wasn’t that bad and can easily decide record whenever!
Loving ur content so far Garnet!! I've been applying the procedural generation video to a little music related video game project. Could you PLEASE do a video on how to make different events appear on the map from a pool? For example, let's say you always want a tile that has a WANDERER which gives you x item. Or a door that ALWAYS appears at the edges of the map. That door opens into another map that is also randomly generated that also has events. Thank you so much for making these videos!!! Big love from Mexico!
Im a front end dev took an elective in my IT degree in gsme dev and design snd i really enjoyed it. Im doing a post bacc in computer engineering cause i want to explored embbeded software/ firmware working with the hardware side because it interactive snd hands on as well. Sfter i go for my.post bacc, ill go for my MS and mjght enjoy being a game dev
@@GarnetKane will definitely sleep on exploring this semester is really a test sem if I truly want to stick to hardware and embedded stuff and design then I'll stick with post bacc. If not I'll definitely transition to an MS focus on web and game dev stuff.
I’m trying to enter in the game industry. But I have a lot of doubts about how it is… I see a lot of people saying that it’s a bad idea to be a game developer, it’s made for someone who whats to suffer. Another thing is I’m Brazilian and here in Brazil people don’t value the game industry… 😔
Hey! The Game industry is tough to get into - so understandably you would have your doubts. But definitely not mad for people who want to suffer - as far as tech/software goes, i would definitely consider it to be on the more rewarding side. I think ultimately you should follow what you're passionate about - the great thing about game development specifically is that you don't need to be working in a studio to be making games, pick it up even as a hobby and just see where you go from there. you might find that you enjoy it, you might find that you don't, but ultimately don't be afraid to have a try!
@@Davon2028 months late but I do want to say that incase you don't know. You can get any monitor and just make it vertically stand. Make sure you know what monitor can either be mounted on the back with a custum montor stand or buy a monitor which comes with it's own stand that can rotate it either way. Sorry if you were just looking for the name of the monitor I mightve misunderstood your question
My wife is thinking about going to college to pursue this as a career while in college is there any types of jobs related to the game development world she might be able to dable in or a way to get some experience in game development for a lower pay before getting all the degrees she needs to work a full time job in game development? Or do you just get the degrees and drop on your head and put through the wringer?
Hey hey! First off - best of luck to your wife on the journey! Will be a lot of fun. Jobs related to game dev while studying will be a bit harder though but not impossible. Definitely keep an eye out on job application sites like LinkedIn/Glass Door etc., but every now and then an internship would be available - those would definitely be the best option, but like I said will be a lot harder to come across and positions for those would be extremely competitive. Otherwise unfortunately it will be going through the wringer and then coming out with the degree and applying for Graduate/Junior roles.
Hahaha it's kind of an interesting question actually - I still find the fun in gaming because of innovative ideas - there's definitely a part of me when I play a game now where I wonder how they achieved something like that, but it never ruins the 'illusion' in a sense for me. Maybe if I personally worked on the games that I enjoyed then I would probably find it a little bit harder to enjoy completely, but for the majority I still love it!
I see you were using both Visual Scripting and C#, I have a question for you, when you use Visual Scripting, does it make your game run at a really low framerate, like does that line of code feel like it's takes much longer to run? Everytime I use visual scripting, my games run horribly, I optimize everything but it doesn't seem to help, I saw a video where someone made the same thing in C# and Visual Scripting and the Visual Scripting took 180 times longer to run, they said that the performance is really bad. Also how would you recommend someone learn C# going from already knowing Visual Scripting?
Great question! And interesting point - were you also using Bolt for visual scripting? Visual Scripting generally runs the logic at the same pace as normal c#, it's all a similar logic flow - there do happen to be spikes loading the graphs initially as there is a lot of deserialization that needs to occur with the bolt graphs but other than that I've actually never really seen an issue. As for moving to c# from visual scripting - if you're familiar and comfortable with how the logic is set up, then it should be relatively straight forward to convert it. It's not a bad idea either to draw out how you expect a visual script piece of code to run and then look into how you can convert each of those into nodes - maybe even if you have a few nodes that you've worked with in the past, practice just converting them into raw c# so you know what the intended outcome is and how you should be laying things out (parameters/outputs/inputs etc.) If you do have specific visual scripting questions though, feel free to jump into my Discord and post your question there! I'll help however best I can :)
12 monitors minimum. Seriously though, honestly 1 monitor is more than enough, I use 2 for convenience, but it's not necessary at all. Computer wise, do a bit of research, but anything that can handle a game engine would be fine - so focus on probably GPU/Ram is my best bet.
Great question! And it's a very genuine concern with a lot of developers, especially on the indie side - for most cases it's a risk that the developer/studio has to take and unfortunately for a lot of studios this does/has resulted in projects being shut down or employment being terminated. However, the other end of it, is that the studios seek the funding before or during the development of the game - for example, in Australia where I am, there's certain grants that you can apply for through the Australian Government as part of the Screen and Media organisations, so occasionally studios are incentivised to actually make a game, and the money that they get from it will just almost be pure net profit!
ok, i was thinking of switching from a degree in software development to game and simulation development, however, i believe there are more scenarios where software development is on the table, thank you for your quick feed back, one more question, is game development fun?, does it get boring?, and while being obviously complex, Is it a hard job?@@GarnetKane
Of course! And completely great and valid questions, don’t be afraid to ask more. Game Dev, especially in software is almost always going to be a fun job, there’s a good portion of the job which is just playing the game which you can never complain about hahaha Difficulty for it though definitely comes in waves, there’s some tasks that really require you to step back and think, and others that are pretty mindless especially if you’re experienced, but ultimately the enjoyment, at least for me, comes down to the problem solving aspect. I feel like any passionate programmer will give you that answer but it’s like solving puzzles haha. My advice though - it’s easy for a general software developer to get into game development, and it’s hard(er) for someone who studied game development to get into generalised software development - so your comment about scenarios for software dev is completely true. i guess have a think about what you value more. for me, i was fortunate enough to be able to choose something i enjoyed more and pursued game development as a degree and i reallly have no regrets about it, but you gotta have that motivation to build your portfolio and hustle to get yourself into the industry
cool to see your day!! nice that you can incorporate your personal project in between
Thanks bro! Yeah man, always gotta keep hustling on it hahahaha

Hey Garnet, I'd love to! Can't seem to find a link to your discord though?
Great VIDEO 🌌✨🌌
your friends look really cool
Him: "It's too warm atm for warm coffee."
Me: "🤨It's minus 8°C over here, it even started snowing, when I went outside." 🥶
Ahahahahahah come to Australia, Summer all year long :P
Honestly I’d love to see some snow!
Cool, been thinking of making one of these myself recently, but since my days vary so much it's difficult to find one day and say "this is the day"

Very good
Imma need this game on my vr
the game needs you 😳 (its out now!!!)
@@GarnetKane YES how to i get it
woooooooooooooo!
nice day bro welcome to game dev dream

yay, dani 2.0
oh man, an honour but big shoes to fill

great video tbh, but why did you have the tissue at 2:50

can a game deb earn 300 k to 400 k ayear
way more than that a year if your title succeeds
The average is 80-120k a year
Game development not equal Game playing. Its so boring..
You think? For me making games is almost a game in itself - it’s its own challenge with different solutions. I find it really fun!
@GarnetKane I agree with you. I want to be game developer and make best games out there
Agreed@@GarnetKane
