Video

That skate Video was 4 days before I was born and now I’m 21 looking at becoming a game dev. Time flies

The video is very interesting, thank you. If I dare, I would say that every point are probably true, however it’s ”only” your point of view and your suppositions, maybe there is still some magic somewhere ? :-)

This might be the most humble video I've seen in a while. Really congrats to you and that you were able to fulfill your dreams. Well deserved.

Thanks guys for the great content! My first indie game, Interstellar Sentinel, It's as if Einhander and DeathSmiles had a baby delivered by Dr. R-Type (a shmup, super micro niche these days) and it was fun to think about this problem of discoverability for my game over the course of watching this video. Cheers!

Ohh a David Wehle video came up in my feed. Great video as always. Miss this guy. Hope he’s doing well.

Workshop

Hey man, your videos are good. The information is inspiring. You recommend watching Indie Game but i can't get 20 min past it. Your videos are more down to earth and relatable. Youre humble and open to learn. The glass isnt full. Thanks brother. God speed and good luck out there. Watch for Soldier X someday

One of the most inspirational videos ever

Hello David, really great video. I feel really proud and happy for you man. I am an Electronics Design Engineer but I always had a dream about making a game of my own. I have an idea that is pursuing me since my childhood. I think this is day that I start turning that idea into a product. I wish luck and good fortune to everyone who decides to take on the same path.

I started with playmaker (and finished a game with it) and moved onto Bolt/UnityVS, and bolt helped me learn to write c# as it uses the same logic unlike PM, but no matter what the snobs say I still much prefer prototyping in VS over c# it's so much faster and easier to get your head around logic! And I'm making games with nothing but visual scripting, it's very doable and much more powerful than the snobs give it credit for. It is a sad reality about 'code snobs', so many of them crap all over visual scripting, which comes off more as fear of their high paying jobs surrounded by mystique being taken away if anyone can code and won't need them anymore... and with GPT that is exponentially speeding up.

2:50 not necessarily... most profitable movie of all time was released with next to no marketing.

You inspire me❤

thank u very

Damn. Again, the trailer is amazing. I wanna join ! Wait for me ! X)

It was cool, I ate with you and all, really convivial live.

I haven't seen the shining yet. It's my call to change that ;)

I'm saving money, I hope there will still be some room for me in your course X) I know i'm late XD

Damn the trailer was incredible ! Really caught me off guard !

Damn all this games are amazing!

Man I'm sorry to say this but the french guy doing the voice over at the beginning isn't that great... He said "sweet" instead of "sweat" XD (It's okay i can say that, i'm french)

fantastico irmão, obrigado por compartilhar

can't believe how similar our stories are. I too am from rural America. I made mods as a kid (but for Oblivion). I Ended up going to film school. Started making games in Unreal Engine using visual scripting but everyone online told me stop and actually learn to code, except instead of doing that I gave up for a while. I've head a moderately successful career in post production and worked my way up to supervisor at a little production company in LA but I hate it. Luckily I've been teaching myself to code over the past few years (and 3D modeling/animation for the past eight years), and finally felt confident enough to start making me own game a few months ago and it's been going great. Hopefully I can share in your success someday.

🦊 Thank you 🦊 ... all the best to you and your family and friends💝

Great Story, but not everybody gets to have one. As a person of visual disability, one of the reasons why I am not yet using either Unity or Unreal Engine is because their text is too small and cluttered, and their entire color pallet is black/white/grey, so as a person with no peripheral vision and poor depth perception, I am immediately and completely lost and confused when I constantly squint at the desktop to see anything. They need to modify their presentation to match something like Microsoft MakeCode Arcade, with bright colors and bold text, this simplicity and modular no-code-required approach is what I need. The irony is that, one of the reasons why I want to get into game making is because nobody is making low-vision-friendly games, they're all super-graphic animations with fast speeds and smallest details, I simply can't play what cannot be visually tracked, but until I can get the suitable development resources from these companies who make these things I cannot use, I cannot create the change I want through them as they dominate the market and means in their presently successful-for-them philosophy. My second problem I have as a person of visual disability is government benefits and the punishing rules I am subject to. As I am unemployed, I thereby persist on the Ontario Disability Support Program as my sole source of income, pending the upcoming Canada Disability Benefit by which ODSP wants to further claw back against CDB, thereby keeping disabilities electorally oppressed under a regime of legislated poverty in violation of our human rights. Further, there are erroneous income limitations and reporting schemes that prevent and discourages online self-employment, in effect, because it is not presently possible to accurately track and report online profits and should any profits exceed income limits I thereby lose ODSP and may thereby also lose CDB which relies on it as a lynchpin to access. I will be destroyed by my governments if I attempt to exit the program through success as an indie streamer or game developer, so I can't even risk trying it unless everything I make and do, no matter how successful, must be free as I cannot safely profit from it. I pray for lawsuits and human rights challenges against the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada for the improvements of disabilities, for I am disabled by disability.

my mom realised i was really into games nad was worried about my future. so she suggested i make my own game. well now here i am trying to learn the unreal engine blueprints and i have so much fun

inspirador!

No way you counted your google searches to one million. How can you figure that out? Does google tell that to you?

AMAZING!

Thanks man!! It inspired me a lot😊

Bro. That were words i was looking for for years! Thank you for inspiration. I'm learning web development and also want to learn how to create games, so I'm starting this right now.

I just finished The First Tree. And I only wanna say thank you.

I will never go for playmaker again as i coded a mini game, had a technical problem with namespace references getting messed up. Playmaker does not get properly backed up like C# code does, since it saves your FSMs internally, and once something goes wrong with your references (missing script error), that's it, up in smoke. I think if you save the meta files too, there might be a way to rebuild, but it's a lot of work Either way, it put me off Playmaker for good.

Nice guy

Я плакал, когда смотрел твое видео, это очень вдохновляет. Желаю тебе всего самого лучшего, надеюсь ты еще найдешь свой успех в других проектах, или добьешься новых вершин, я в тебя верю!

this is the only video where an uploader clearly states how much the game make. 150.000 $ in 1 year.

I mean, Utah.. what else is going on there bro. You made a wolf game.

GIF is a 256 color 8 bit palette file format that looks like hell nowadays. Those clips shown look like mp4 video clips and not GIFs...

I also hated it.

where do i get playmaker or bolt from,?

Well done but also! Glad you are still skating! It's harder as we get older but the love never fully dies!

Can you help me please please show how to create a game

Its not really changing ur life when u already have money to buy expensive computer.

Just saw a video today where a massively successful indie dev said he built EVERYTHING in blueprints in UE5. Never touched a single C++ line of his own and made a damn near AA game. Don't listen to these A hole code snobs. This is about to be 2024 and their world has rapidly fallen into the "doable" category for all types of people. Edit: damn dude you made me cry. I've been an entrepreneur for two years (auto detailing) and I've managed to support my wife and 3 kids but i have ZERO passion for detailing. It was more a challenge to myself to make it in my own and prove i am actually a capable independent worker. I want to take what I've learned starting and growing Mirror Lake, LLC and use it in the world of game dev.

Thank you so much! I needed this. It's time to make a cut scene and finish the game

The El Burro hat was so cute though 😂❤

Bolt is now built into unity so.. And it's also free!

I'm so used to visiting that WC so I don't know. Have to be somebody, who knows more than somebody else and I say you better drive here few tons of sand or concrete. I'm sorry you have it set to MSAO graphics settings Tutotoons/Sneakybox. That is so meaningless to relational databases 8:46, because you nobody from nowhere unless you win silicon lottery. You stupid non Warcraft player - that's all 12:50, but being a duel knob pvp artist is so much better jokes aside so no I be selling all that diablo Immortal here for non believers 14L14 - it's time again 14:14.

Looks waaay too complicated for a non coder!
