Yes... he said he has software development experience. Once you've been developing software long enough, you recognize patterns more easily and have an easier time getting up and running in new tools and environments.
My god, this is a lot of dedication for both unreal and blender, I started blender recently but have been doing unreal for 2 years and I still can’t do half the things you’ve done
To be fair, when making videos I have the luxury of only showcasing the things I DO know how to do. There's still many panels, tabs and radial menus I haven't even touched 😂. Anyway- thanks for your kind words!
Pick a game you easily spend 1000+ hours on in a year. Then get bored and/or frustrated enough to quit and spend that time on an actual project. For me that game was Barotrauma, when I started to get deeper into their 'blueprint' engineering for submarines I felt frustrated enough with the limitations of the game (and it's lack of stability late-game), that I felt I could spend my time better doing something else. Then compare how impressed people are with my projects and creations within those games. And figure out how long it took you to go from not spending a minute of that game, to building complex things. Spend that same amount of time on a game-engine and surrounding tools. Spend as much time doing research to get the things that have to work to run properly. And in Barotrauma the difference between an in-game engineer and evolving into a submarine designer, was as easy for me as picking a moment where I could have spend 500+ hours designing my favorite submarine in a game that is going to drop performance and ruin a lot of my enjoyment, or... appreciate the logic learning of their blueprint system, and translate it into actual game design. You won't find more dedicated people, than most gamers. They just gotta find their niche and stick to it.
I cannot believe you learned, experimented, and implemented all of these different softwares in just 6 months... that's insane! the progress and speed are so good! double subscribe
I just started my first game project on Unreal Engine and this video really motivates me to keep it going! I really like the way you tackled every stage of the development and how it came out so far. I can see the passion on your video and thank you for sharing your journey with us! You have a talent for it 🔥
Unbelievable dedication. Great work. That part where you said that boredom is the enemy and doing something you really enjoy I think it is one of the main reason towards your progress.
You inspired me man 😁 im working on my video game and seeing this video had me realize that instead of stressing out just have fun doing it and learn from your mistakes thank you Man 🙏
I NEED every playlist, tutorial, video, you have for minutes 3:37 - the end. This is everything ive been struggling to find resources for, for the last 3 years! 🥺
This was such an interesting and informative video! As a junior software developer, I completely related to all of the struggles you described in your video about motivation, the optimal way to do something etc, and I gotta say, you definitely hit the spot for me! Sharing my progress isn't something I thought about doing, but I can definitely see how it can build some positive pressure to get something done. The desire to make something the best you can at any given point can immensely hurt your workflow, and I face this with tutorial hell on a day to day basis. As soon as I feel like I'm not educated enough about a certain topic in my programming journey, I immediately go to the extreme and buy a whole course or watch an hour long video just on one small subject. Sometimes jumping in the water is the way to go, and by looking at your progress, I can see where I went wrong because you did such an amazing job. You deserve much more views on this video, such a well rounded approach. GL HF!
Huge respect on the progress you have made! Learning UE5 currently and this video sure helps a lot on how to tackle the problem of learning the engine.
It's so amazing to see anyone start a 3d program and just watch how you go from knowing nothing and then over time you can see the visible progress! skill after skill after skill and wow!
This is really inspirational and your learning philosophy to avoid burnout is spot on. Stay interested, stay motivated. The assumption everyone is able to follow a linear learning track is very dated. Best of luck with the game, it's on my wishlist!
hi! it's been a while since this video was posted...i watched the whole thing and was so excited to see the end result, so i ended up checking out the steam page, and oh goodness...it looks so amazing!!! in the video it already looked cool to me but you've upgraded and added a ton of stuff that just makes it look even better! i bet people'll love your game. great amazing job you did
Bro, that is epic. Great job in just 6 months. You've even done multiplayer! You must have really put a lot of time and effort into this! Great job! Keep going!
I’m at the stage of considering to learn to use UE5 but at 40 it feels daunting as… cheers for the simple advice… “just do what interests you” and see where it goes is probably my best place to start! 🤙 good luck with your game bro!
Looks great. Very inspiring. Been dipping into unreal and blender as well. Love the look, love the dedication. Congrats on what you've made and learned so far!
The amount of dedication is unreal! ( Pun intended ) Learning all this stuff in 6 months is crazy and you even didn't mentioned the amount of work, you put in your videos.
You should be super proud of what you’ve accomplished and keeping it up! Also reaching out for help when needed to get you over hurdles and unstuck. Wish listing now for when I eventually find friends who want to play with me locally ;-)
Immediate follow, great inspiration! I love using substance painter + blender workflow for textures. I'm extremely amateur but that workflow intrigued me enough when starting my gamedev journey to really hook me
Awesome. Gives me a lot of motivation to pursue this cause I have almost the same story as you. Right down to making space on my SSD to install Unreal lmao. Subscribed.
Amazing video. You not only have great learning skills but also amazing storytelling. I hope I can make a similar video in... 5.5 months 💪Cheers and gl in all your projects!
I absolutely love your content and mindset towards projects like this, I'd love for this game to possibly be console ported after all of the finishing touches have been made!
1:48 this is so true I feel it to my core. The only I improved in Blender is because I searched up what interested me instead of just watching beginner tutorials. Doing that really helped me improve at a much faster pace. I did hit a plateau with lighting which detailed all the momentum I had going though but I will get back into it for sure. 🦆
I feel for you. I picked up UE for a work project and they wanted something fairly quick. October to December and I had a flight simulator. At least I didn't have to do the simulation part, just plugged in one we already had to drive the objects in the display. UE is one of those tools that has so much that it can be overwhelming if you try to take it all in at once.
im on 1month and half and i only have learned a lot and i love it! i tryed to make an game for about 3-5 years with no sucess due to don't learn the basics, now i hit the road of learn anything to make my game, im loving it even one day per week i get stressed and stop from time to time but i wont surrender, honestly UE5 is an amazing tool and has a lot of improvements, that video also inspired me but im a huge fan of unreal from very early, i think i couldnt go until that video,nanite is the ''must'' im also having a lot of issues on material export to unreal, after search much and see many videos on youtube i found that the best way to make material is: just export the texture if you hand paint it and setup everything on unreal, i also dedicated sometime learning some ''material'' stuff from unreal,there are some oficial videos that can help you on this from unreal guys. im still thinking about substance painter but there is an guy who did an cabin's video on unreal, he is PRO on these things about film making on blender and he says that unreal dont recognize everything you exported about material,so whats the best way to save time and avoid re-work than setup directly on unreal?? im loving to see your progress and its very very cool and fun as i can see.
Awesome to hear. Glad you're getting over the hump and start to enjoy making a game in Unreal Engine. As far as materials go- Blender can only export very basic material setups so in a lot of cases you'll just end up recreating materials in Unreal from scratch. That's just kind of how it is at the moment 🤷. Learning the "Blender to Unreal" workflow is an art in itself I've found.
All that in only 6 months??????? That's amazing good work. I just downloaded UE5 today and found your video looking for a How To Get Started. Ill take your advice and learn a bit at a time. Also if you are ever looking for play testers who give solid feedback, I would love to test...
Bruh, nice work. Great progress! I hope it keeps improving. : ) Perhaps your might like trying 3D Coat for modelling/sculpting/UVs/texturing. It behaves fantastically well with UE5. Cheers!
Dude i'm jealous... I always wanted to start this journey and started a few times...but i'm 32 and so much stuff is going on that I dond't find the time for all that. But there is a silver lining. I hope to get started once I sorted some thing out in my life. Thanks anyway for the inspiration and keep up the good work.
Hey I'm 30 so I think you've still got plenty of time. It's definitely a time consuming thing tho so just get at it when you're ready! Thanks for the kind words.
Awesome! Question for ya! How challenging or slow a process do you think it would be for a graphic designer to take the same path? Always been curious about games and definitely trying to figure out what’s next. Curious what music you think you’ll have for your game as well.
Dude if this is all in 6 months.. you have an amazingly bright future ahead of you!
I agree
He is lying. He had previous experience
There is no way he could have done it in six months.He had the experience to do it.
@@kpo1233literally the first 20 seconds of the video he said "I've been a software developer for a while"
How short is your attention span lol
Yes... he said he has software development experience. Once you've been developing software long enough, you recognize patterns more easily and have an easier time getting up and running in new tools and environments.

@@solomon-gumball btw how older you?
@@migame25 Age doesn't matter when it comes to software development.

wow wow wow

inspiring video! i am starting my unreal journey for like the 3rd time now. when that gun came out of your cleaning robot I was in aw! Thank you!
These videos are a big inspiration for me as I continue on my own 3D design journey….can’t wait for the next one! Great job!
Glad to be of service 🧑🔧
You inspired me man 😁 im working on my video game and seeing this video had me realize that instead of stressing out just have fun doing it and learn from your mistakes thank you Man 🙏

This is incredible. Thank you for taking the time to share and for making such inspiring content. Congratulations on the fantastic effort !
That’s a lot of progress in just 6 months, congrats ! Hope your game will attract lot of people !
Amazing to see the progress Solomon! 🤩
The game is now added to my wishlist! 😎👍🏻
Thanks Buraas 👊
Bro, that is epic. Great job in just 6 months. You've even done multiplayer! You must have really put a lot of time and effort into this! Great job! Keep going!
6 months? That's A LOT of progress, you're so dedicated. Keep it up!
so EPIC when you updated your own characters in game. Feels like I am gonna cry....
The progress is amazing and it’s been fun keeping up with the game.

I love the starting animation it’s amazingly clean!
Dude I found this video just when I needed it your a big inspiration to me!
Looks great. Very inspiring. Been dipping into unreal and blender as well. Love the look, love the dedication. Congrats on what you've made and learned so far!
The amount of dedication is unreal! ( Pun intended )
Learning all this stuff in 6 months is crazy and you even didn't mentioned the amount of work, you put in your videos.
Great going Sir. Excellent, wish to see you develops on 3D as well in near future. Appreciate, if you could put some guideline for beginner like me.
You should be super proud of what you’ve accomplished and keeping it up! Also reaching out for help when needed to get you over hurdles and unstuck.

wow... really interested this video... thank you for share your experiences~ i want to try more
holy moly all this in 6 months, your going far!!!
Heartwarming ending. Love to see you grow. Best to you.
This is awesome, i hope to get to your skill level! Seems like you have great follow through on the game.
Immediate follow, great inspiration! I love using substance painter + blender workflow for textures. I'm extremely amateur but that workflow intrigued me enough when starting my gamedev journey to really hook me
From zero to this in 6 months?? dannng!!! Kudos!
Great video bro I really appreciate the open and honest advice, Good luck with your game :3
This is absolutely awesome, glad I ran across your video and channel.
I hope that this game gets more attention, it looks amazingly fun!
The physics look like they are going to be a lot of fun. I'm psyched!!
Starting the adventure, and it's funny similar, very excited to learn and gain skills
Thanks for the video as it has inspired me to try Unreal and have a go! Your game looks really professional already.
Awesome. Gives me a lot of motivation to pursue this cause I have almost the same story as you. Right down to making space on my SSD to install Unreal lmao. Subscribed.

Wow amazing progress! I’ve been wanting to learn unreal for a long time, these kinds of videos really give a ton of motivation!
Very cool, keep doing it 👍
That cheap "mocap" idea is genius! I'll be using this
game is on the wishlist amazing work dude
I think you should add an ant character. They could have mini skies on their middle arms/legs, which they use while leaning in turn.
I wishlisted it!! Can't wait to make a video on it when it drops!
Great video. I enjoyed seeing your game's progression and it gave me great motivation.
Hahaha lovid this video!! Awesome progress on the game! Congrats!!
It looks awesome dude. Congrats.
Epic progress man! Also the characters are かわいい🌝

Wish I was this fast I’ve been at it for a year and haven’t gotten this much done ✅ thanks for the inspiration amigo
This is great 👍 I wish I could make progress for my stuff like you
you're awesome!! got me motivated!
That water game looks dope!!!
Interesting 🥳👍🏼 let’s goooo!
Bro, you are gifted.
Excellent work !!!!
As a wannabe gamedev, all the progress you did in 6 months I would expect to do in 2 years, congratulations.

Brooo.... that start menu looks sick...
Omg, this is amazing.
the sock was the highlight of the video for me
New solomon gumball upload!!
Thank you TH-cam for sending me the notification 8 hours late
me experience with ue is literally the same, cool vid btw!
You are going to blow up as a game dev I'm telling you
I'm so blown away by this that now i don't even want to start making my game 😂
I cant belive how good its looking
Is all of this accomplished within six months? Did you have any prior experience in game development? you're amazing!
well done! Very inspiring story!
GJ man, keep on it!
I was more interested in knocking socks off sinks as a little spider.
This a crazy amount of progress in 6 months for solo development.
The world needs more chibi robo like games, but your new game is very cool too
BRO WAKE UP NEW SOLOMON GUMBALL VIDEO
The last part reminds me of Bobby Lee MTV days lmaooo
great work 👏
would be a great addition to have the character selection be inside a warm cabin
Amazingly well put together script!
heck yeah dude this is sweet!
Bruh, nice work. Great progress! I hope it keeps improving. : ) Perhaps your might like trying 3D Coat for modelling/sculpting/UVs/texturing. It behaves fantastically well with UE5. Cheers!
love the new edeting style
can't wait to get into UE myself
