Go to my sponsor snhu.edu/levin if you’re interested in starting a career in game development!

I really just sat here for 35 minutes and listened to some dude named Levin explain his entire childhood… totally worth it! No really, this video was very interesting and somewhat insightful, definitely subscribing. Also Seaborn sounds like something i would be interested in so im gonna go watch the devlog for that rn

seeing other people’s game dev stories is always so interesting and i love how game design almost always shows up on paper first. i remember making board games, then card games, then ttrpgs, and then making a game for the first time it just felt so surreal edit: i’ve also been working on my own mostly linear rpg so it’s cool to be following your project as well!

Bro you are so underrated! I also wanna become game developer with my 2 friends! Its been my dream for years! Thanks for inspiring me! Have a nice life! 😁

Dark ending…

What an awesome video. What a journey good luck on future projects

Fantastic to hear your story! I had some similar beginnings in making lego stop motion before getting to games.

I remember watching you back when you were making a metroidvania! Im glad youtube reccomended you to me again :)

I have never seen someone talk about hopscotch before! This was also my first taste of game dev.

I’ve been into game dev for a while now, but only just started my journey and begun using unity now. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and they’ve honestly been inspiring and very well put together. Thank you inspiring me to reach my goals, I hope eventually I can make my own games too.

Good luck! Just remember that consistency is key, it’s a long journey, but I think that anybody who puts the time in and is passionate about it can become a great game developer

Today, you made me try programming again, and I'm having way more fun with the process, and feeling hopeful for the future if I keep this going, thank you

That’s awesome! Good luck

Not even lying around that same time I had an idea for a game called Astro and it was basically the same idea as yours I also started making it in gamemaker

Underrated KZreadr, keep up the great videos!

My first butwhylevin video. Very epic

I started on hopscotch too! I used hopscotch for about 5 years until moving onto construct 3. I actually remade Pokémon, Clash Royale And Bloons. My Games Then Got Deleted and I quit and went to Construct 3.

His first game has more clicks than he has followers now, bros underrated

This was a cool insight into your dev journey! And yeah going viral is an uphill battle, LMAO the pewdiepie subreddit story

I'm still sort of waiting for my journey to begin D: I'm so happy for you though :D

Man, I also started my video-game creation with paper and pencil in school. I played not much with friends as I didn't got much friends anyway. But a lot of my interests were born back then. I am not good but I am currently working in get better as I jump from game idea to game idea until one catches me enough to finnish one.

I have everything I need to make a game, just no ideas. I really want to make a game but it's like I can't really get any ideas for story, genre, mechanics,... The only things I have are a platformer without jump mechanic, a bad stealth game and a weird endless runner (all of them unfinished). All of them unfinished bc guess what, I can't get ideas for the games!

Been an indie dev for 3 years ive gotta say youve made like 20x the amount of games i have haha. You were the youtuber who inspired to to start making devlogs acutally

Listening to this as I model my characters' butts in Blender. This is what you've contributed to :)

2kilksphilip's game making journey series is one of my favourite series' on KZread

it was a good video i didnt know it was 33 minutes until the end

Excellent Video

Hey! I had no idea you still followed me, I remember making that sprite animation for you forever ago! Thanks for the support

I did the exact same thing as war world, except I just called it the paper battley game, and we changed the rules and characters every time we played it.

No way this only has 17k views?! This totally feels lie a 1M kind of viral video

34:20 who is that? i opened subtitles to see how to spell the name soo i could search them, but subtitles doesn't give the correct spelling. i checked the description hoping he might've been linked there. 1. I've followed the path of no school for years.; KZread Tutorials and watching other Indie Devs are definitely my guidance. 2. OMG you do animation too?! that's a trip, to find someone who also likes game dev & Animating. And here i was thinking "i must be one of the fiew who do animating & game dev" 3. When i started youtube, i thought "my Thanos video will get at LEAST 1 million views." and boy was i wrong lol 😄 4. Storytime animating? ngl i too had the same idea; it's super prominent since %99 of my stuff is animations. 5. Unity? i honestly want to start using Unity eventually; thanks for reviewing GameMaker 2. 6. Thanks for making this video. I had fun listening to and watching your journey. honestly i wasn't interested in the video untill 1/3rd of the way through it already, then i was like "This video is amazing."

Lol, thanks for the long comment, it means a lot! Also sorry, I really need to subtitle my videos more, as I can mess up the names of things pretty easily, it’s Archvale by Idoz if you’re talking about the pixel art game. Also, if you like animator game devs, then check out Robert Thomson, he’s a professional animator who does game dev and makes great videos. kzread.info

seeing that teen titans go existed when you were in elementary school made me feel werid, I checked and it was made in 2013, and I died a little bit inside

i just started my game dev journey 2 days ago , never touched any sort of program to make games but now tryna learn vs code in unity annnnnddd i have no clue how to make my person deal damage lol , attempting to make this has made me realise how much effort goes into the games i play

I love video essays

MY SITUATION IS SO MUCH LIKE YOURS. Yet I’m still not old enough to make a career out of it I have been doing game dev since I was 6

I’d love to make my own game but the one problem I almost always have is i use my school pc so engine’s like unreal are to big to run on my pc

You should make a game where you get play as Vietnamese

You all are thinking I'll say it we all know thus guy got really friendly with his hand and a pic of his dev girl
