6 Resources I Used to Learn Game Development
Welcome to a different kind of video in which I share 6 of my favorite resources that I personally used to learn game development. Though this video was made as part of a collaboration, I truly did rely on each of these channels at different points in my game development journey to get me to where I am today. I do my best to include names and links to the specific pieces of content I learned from along the way!
Hope you enjoy, and big thanks to these awesome creators for taking part in the collab.

if you want just general coding stuff then. The Coding Train, mostly programed in java but everything can be carried over quite easily to any language you do use. Crash Course (not per say code but has a REALLY good overview of computer science over it's entire lifetime) she really enforces the idea of abstraction. Sebastian Lauge, ofc everyone most certainly knows him by now right? amazing tutorials, sadly some are not finished but the ones that are are amazingly well done. Infallible Code, more to do with how you code rather then just the code. Game Academy.school, sadly hasn't uploaded in a long time, more to do with Unity DOTS. so isn't really "general stuff", as such might not be useful to that many people. Code Monkey, great tutorials. Board To Bits Games, recently found, great tutorials. Holistic3d, she use to have a lot of great tutorials for free. she use to have a full minecraft clone tutorial. it's behind a paywall now however she still has a few other tutorials on her youtube but if you are willing to pay for tutorials i would look at what she has on her website (look for it in the about section on her youtube channel). she is a professor and it's quite clear when you listen to the tutorials. it's cheaper to go to sign up on her patreon page if anyone is willing to pay. i love free tutorials, as it's massively helpful to get started, however sometimes it's nice to have a 10+ hour long running tutorial on something. most of these creators really don't get paid enough for what they put out there. i have a feeling i missed a few others, which sucks. i was sure there where a lot more.....if anyone else wants to add to the list then be my guest!

I find it exceedingly amusing that love filming your shrimp in your dev updates. They need to be a final boss.
For anyone in the comment section who is looking for Game Maker Studio 2 content, please check out Shaun Spalding. He's a GMS2 creator here on KZread who has amazing and high quality tutorials and other stuff, such as reviews on software made for game dev. While I have switched to Godot this year, last year when I first started game dev (Crazy to think it's already been a year!) I started with GMS2 and his channel was an immense help. I highly recommend his platformer series and his Action RPG series, not only does he _show_ you how to make stuff, but he goes line by line and _explains_ what everyone thing does. I hope this helps someone out, and happy game making!

Thomas Brush has been a huge influence on my game dev journey and I think he makes very realistic content
This may be a no-brainer but the GDC youtube channel has helped me a lot. They've definitely helped me plan more efficiently.
This video is a gold nugget that begins a trail to more gold nuggets. Well done and thank you.
Pigdev is another good youtube channel with helpful Godot Engine tutorials. Thanks for the video on all these great channels!

Thank you!
One channel that I also recommend is Studio Blue, they are well known in the RPG Maker community and even though they play alot of RPG Maker games they have a great section on game development as a whole (such as using game design documents for example) that can be applied to any engine, they also have fire side chat streams that go into the gaming industry as well as there current game project that they are making in the Unreal Engine.
I don’t use Godot but the community seems amazing and it seems to be great! Im a unity developer but I’m rooting for Godot ^^
DevDuck is one of my resources, not because of his use of Godot (because I use Unity) but because of what he's achieved whilst doing Gamedev part-time and whenever I feel burnt out or find it hard to continue gamedev part-time, you re-inspire me to carry on. Thanks 😁
Thank you for sharing these! It's amazing to see how you develop and update this game, it looks very interesting and I cannot wait to see you evolve
Thank you so much for the resources! :D I want to make this year the year I start game dev to pair with my narrative design work.
Your very creative and i love how are very quiet and quiet music
Thanks, Ben. I just started my Godot journey in a week. After learning GDScript, I kind of lost my way and don't know what to do next. Your devlog helped me a lot! Thank you for your sharing.
Can we have a tutorial about shrimp? What supplies and equipment do you need, what types of shrimp to pick, presumably how to breed them to get more, etc.
I like how this is like an "answer" for Ask Gamedev for their last video about 6 channels to learn Godot XD Great video tho and I am happy you were in their list
My first experience was with Tom Francis developer of Gunpoint and his intro to game maker. Without it I don't think I would ever start. I have also learnt a lot from Godot Tutorials channel as well as from Gaming Endeavor and Game Development Center

@Game Development Center world is so small. It's so amazing to see all my fav channels all pretty much watching each other videos. 😀
This was an awesome video! So cool to see the gamedev / Godot community here on KZread collaborating on a video! Your videos have definitely been a big inspiration to me, I'm even hoping to get seriously into Godot development, myself, soon. Cheers!
I'd also add Game Endeavor for the tutorials and I just found Dave the Dev specifically for his approach to the dialog system. Also, there's this little channel called DevDuck with the calmest, most serene, yet valuable and deeply satisfying devlogs.
Man, thanks for sharing. I've never heard of some of these like GamesFromScratch !
I look forward to this channel more than any other of my subs. I love this series so much and it inspired me to learn to code!
This is awesome! Thanks!
To those interested in Godot, check out Godot Tutorials. The content there is AMAZING as it goes deep down into the core of GD Script and the nodes that the engine provides.
As always, your dev logs are incredibly inspiring, especially for those of us on the game dev journey. Thank you for sharing these resources and insights into your world of game development.
Always appreciate this sort of thing from KZreadrs
I've subscribed to your channel and all those mentioned. I'm currently going through various courses on Godot, Unity & Blender and it always helps to have other resources available.
I will also recommend these two amazing channels, teaching gamedev in Godot: Game development centre And Rungeon. These guys are amazing!
I also recommend Game Maker's Toolkit, it's a great channel with info similar to AskGameDev but is about genre and design as well as how to make a great game in the sense of how it is played, rather than made.
Brackeys. He was awesome videos on Unity. However, last month he posted his goodbye video. :(
I'd offer a suggestion of Game Endeavour. Short, compressed videos on specific topics, but is very well presented. If I want to do something in godot I'll go there first as I know it'll be better implementation than others such as state machines health bars, etc.
Excellent work 😎
I have one channel that comes to mind when thinking about tutorials: BRACKEYS
Thanks! subscribed to all of these
Hey man I have to say that I love your videos. Keep doing it!!
What ever you decided to use for your game. Make sure you read up on the documentation or the tools you use. Mostly all questions are answered there and serve as a guide from the tool maker to get you started. Some documentation is better than others
Thanks for these great resources! Heard of a couple but the rest were new. Definitely going to check them out! Love the content by the way. Looking forward to your next video! Take it easy, man.
I really love your videos, I have got so much inspiration for my games from your vids
thanks so much for sharing
I love the background music
This compiled list is super helpful thank you 😀
Love u and Dauphin

This looks like quite a great list, especially for godot users. I must check these out!
Nice video this really inspires me
Wow that was really cool
For people looking to make a game engine in java, check out games with Gabe, he had an amazing and ongoing tutorial series that takes you from a beginner to the creator of a java game engine using lwjgl. His channel is small, but quickly growling.
I love heartbeast he's the one who got me into making games and then he started doing godot tutorials which I was very great full for
Great content and your journey inspires me...Keep going bro...👍

I recommend Adam C Younis for pixel art. He's like a personal undemy course at your fingertips!
Good tips, thank you
Gamemakerstoolkit is an awesome and very interessiert channel!!!
Nice ;D
You can also learn a lot from Game Maker's Toolkit and Extra Credits.
Subscribing now to a long list of channels.
Yesss!!!
very helpful video game maker man
I want to know what you use to track your milestones on dauphin
Cool! Thanks!
What is the c++ tutorial you were following in the last video?
Unrelated, but I notice in some parts of your videos you have a vertical monitor and other parts you don't. It looks like it's mounted on an arm or something, but when it's not there I don't see any mount lol. Are you just manually moving it on and off the desk?
Great video. It's always great to hear about game developer journeys and how one's story compare to mine. I made a similar video called "My Evolution as a Game Developer". It talks about how I got started, and things that helped me along my journey as well.

Thanks for the channels but my problem with trying to start making games is I find it hard to stay motivated when learning to code
Hello thank you very much for your tutorials I would like to know if you cna do a Outrun or F-Zero tutorial ???
Can you make a video talking about Trello and how you organize yourself
check out game endeavor. he's a great godot content creator. he made a platformer series, but currently he's working on an action rpg game like you and he has great devlogs about it.
Bro u inspired me to godot engine
Hey! It would be really cool if you could do tutorials about godot engine. How to do something cos your work look so clean.

I used to use godot but I switched to construct. Now indo tutorials on that 👍
How do you transition from doing tutorials to making your own game? Do you start from scratch or start modifying a tutorial project? I'm currently doing Ben's ARPG tutorial and have done a few smaller ones
There's a very underrated channel I'd like to recommend: *Open Source Games* (kzread.infovideos ). They showcase games that are open sourced, so anyone can see how they were made. They have showcased quite a few games made in Godot too.
I tried Godot. I want to learn the engine using c#. Are their resources for this that you could recommend?
Fine fine fine FINE... I'll use godot jeesus
I have basically the same list! Except my list also has yours :)
Thank you so much!!! Your Videos are very detailed and so realistic. I've been working with Gamemaker Studio for 1 year and I also made a game! it's very important to take your time. My game is as shitty as yours, but who cares....
my man uses KidsCanCode, now, we sre going places
Why don’t you make a demo for the game
*How is the when of the*
Brackeys, blackthornprod, jonas tyroller, thomas brush, gmtk, gdc, lets talk game design,
Do you consider godot to be a permanent or semipermanent engine for your self, if yes / no ... why...?

Personally I might be interested in Godot if I can achieve what I want to achieve in Godot. On the other hand, if I want to use a lot of the great free and even paid assets on Unity store, or models and materials in the free Quixel with Unreal, it's tough to choose which one to use.
Cool
I'm early! 😁
"Godot Tutorials" explains how Godot nodes work, and more about gdscript, he helped me to umderstand those better and when to use them :)

I thought your game was called Dolphin, and you just said it with a tragic US accent. I didn't realize it was daw-fin.
I see that you use ultra-wide screen monitor. Try this program (github.com/microsoft/PowerToys) Microsoft Power Toys have great windows management feature. I also use ultra-wide monitor, this program help me with my programming workflow. 😉
