Perhaps throwing a poop at enemies should aggro them

Dude, your door have 6 locks and timbered over, you think there's a train out to get you or somethin?

how do you balance such an intense schedule while also keeping a relationship? How do you explain to your S/O that "i want to make a game, it may be trash and i waste 6 months of my life. plz support me?"

Why mocking god. This is disrespectful for all believers of all kinds

I am a ux/ui designer and build mobile apps and video games. and this 2:16 is where 'functional apps' and games are completely different. for functional apps you can kind of predict whats going to happen with the help of a clickable prototype and user testing. but for games you really need to build the feature and try it. will it work probably, will it be fun thats a completely different ball game

Markus Persson want to buy the company back. Microsoft refuses accept billionaire dollar offer. it's like trading baseball card. Microsoft says want 4-5 billion.... Markus felt like his baby game company was kidnapped by Microsoft. lol.... ransome.

No unreal steals to much

Bad controls: thats really avoidable. Shows a lack of attention to detail in one of the most important aspects of the game. There are plenty of similar games that you could just copy the control layout from.

wait i was waiting for the answer to the video title..... why should I use Unreal?...

99% of the indie games are trash. why? everyone can see they are made with bunch of default asset and default game play mechanics from some game engine.

3:19 For those who wondering what it says - "Wishlist Twisted Tower"

Thanks for the video! I'll say this though, if I make $1,000,000 and I have almost $400,000 left over, I 100% won't care that I lost $600,000 of the original. I could make that $400K last a 100 years, haha.

good vid

1000

3:03 that's extremely solid advice in all realms, blindly trusting people without understanding at least the basics leads to misunderstandings, time wasting and being done over, a contractor will treat you completely different if "you know your shit" and it will reflect on their outcome, and the right one might be even empowered by that and create a symbiotic relationship with you.

why the door has so many locks?

I felt that when you couldn't do 10,000*10 at 10:35. As I get older, I can't seem do the simplest math in my head

I can't call myself a developer yet but, I feel I would be a better designer than a programmer...

you can also start an S Corp. That's what I did at least. Cheaper in NY State

Never waste an opportunity to promote your course.

I don’t want to use Unreal if they are going to force me to censor myself!

Hi @thomas 👋 Your videos inspired me so much that I decided to try again after a few attempts in the past. 👍 I have a question: How closely can you recreate other games and legally publish them? 🤔 I'm working on a game that takes heavy inspiration and several mechanics and similarities to another game, and I don't want to get in trouble and eventually waste time and effort for nothing 🎮

I think hiring freelance artists can be helpful when learning a new skill would delay the project possibly weeks or months.

Hi! I had a doubt and was hoping u could help me. All these terms and functions, are they all unity specific or are these terms related to game development in general?

Would be nice to see a video on all the different payment methods like hourly wage, annual salary, revenue share, etc.

I was literally about to say "you haven't followed your own advice at all" But then you say that at the end of the video 😂

In the meantime Unreal Engine got woke 🙄

There are many many 3d charcater models at asset stores in the price range from free to $100 (with extended license), some of the look fine but people could know them from other games. My question is ... how much would custom 3d character models cost me that looks similar like from Stellar Blade or Vindictus: Defying Fate ?

can i do this on 5.4.1?

I'm a solo developer, and I passionately create games. Especially at my current young age, I never felt the need to hire a team to create my small games. I'm thinking of hiring a gradually growing team as I make bigger games, but for the time being, none of my bucks are gonna get invested in anyone but myself.

As a bioshock fan, I seriously can’t wait for your new game. It looks so good! 🔥

WATCH THE VIDEO IN HIS DESCRIPTION! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!!

Wow!!! Incredible advice thanks Thomas sir. 😀🙌

While I'm just starting game design as a hobby, I've done some design work on TTRPGs and such which I feel like translates fairly well into the ideas for designing video games (while the engine and medium itself is obviously different). I still have to come up with what's fun, what the loop is, what themes I want the mechanics to convey, what emotions I want it to invoke. I just then have to take that and play with it in a video game space and say "okay so this works well in TTRPGs because of the slower nature, but it's not so fun so sped up, how can I fix that?"

I hired for art, music and sound effects. It's simply too much work and too difficult to do everything.

Look, I'll say it straight: I'm a solo dev, and I just frankly can't afford anyone else. I'll just learn how to do everything myself. Will that lead to burnout? Probably, yes. But I cannot hire on an artist. It's simply too expensive.

Sometimes I find flaws in your advice, I am not sure about the advice, or I simply disagree with the advice but this time I think you are dead on. I think this is actually the best advice you have given on this aspect of game design.

Literally the most real and on-point information I've ever heard come out of a Thomas Brush video. You're at your best when interacting with other designers/devs and not just trying to be a video faucet of obvious or subjective views on game design.

I didnt watch the vid yet...please say yes WE NEED jobs 🤣
