For me making games based on unity or unreal it's like cooking frozen food. yes it's easy, cheap, time saving but it does not deliver that pleasure. Food as any other food, but cooked by your own hands is always tastier. You always can experimentate, some times fail, but ends always pays the costs. Only dive into the deep forest can give this sort of expirience.

Not really the point. He's talking about pleasure not productivity. It is dumb to write your own engine if you want to release a product and make money as a one man show. But as a pleasure project that you do in your spare time because it's interested? it is totally legitimate to get pleasure out of the process of writing an engine. Even more so than making a game with an existing engine. And it's also totally legitimate to not get the same kind of pleasure out of making your own IDE, which is really just a front end for a bunch of command line tools and not even that exciting, or your own compiler, which actually is exciting and also something people do. Another thing to consider is this: a game is a system much more so than an IDE or compiler. It's system programming for people that don't hate themselves enough to do operating systems (which is super satisfying but hard to do since you work so low level that all debugging tools feel like a dirty hack) or embedded (you either take ARM or AVR or you'll have to deal with compilers of the quality we saw on DOS). It's "IDE programming" for everybody that wants to do something that's not as run of the mill. Have fun finding an editor that supports large open worlds. It's disgusting to do in blender and the only tool I do know that might work costs money and is very restricted. You'd have to do that yourself but you'd also have a use for it. Why write a C++ IDE if there's VS and CLion and Qt? Why write a Java IDE if there's IntelliJ? Why write a C# IDE if there's VS? You'll never write a better tool than that but you'll write a tool that's better than "non-existent". It's also compiler programming. Sure, you can use Lua but if you feel like it but if you want to you can write your own DSL that does exactly what you want. No dumb piping between the the Lua call, the C function in the back and then putting that in your engine methods. You can just integrate the systems as tightly as you want. So not just is it dumb to call somebody out for finding pleasure in a large project like a game engine (or an IDE or a compiler) but it's also dumb because a game engine would give you the excuse to do all those other project in a more useful form because you're not competing with anybody.

If you're interested in making your own world, give a home to your imagination, tell a good story. Basically if you like the art side of games, (music, character development, story, etc.), and have absolutely no (or barely any) problem with doing programming, go and make games. If you like knowing how things are done at their base structure, love playing with fundamental logics, and love the technical side of games, and like to build everything from scratch, then you'll probably more likely love making game engines.

Thanks. I was so confused whether to make games or game engines.

it's amazing that you are so pure and honest ⁦👍🏼⁩

I definitely agree about the difference and the amount of knowledge that is needed in both areas. One argument I have for learning Engine development even if you want to make games is that you dont want to be be there in the future when you are making a game and you have no idea how to implement a feature, even if you ask around the web on ways to approach it you quickly see that its either way beyond your level of knowledge or way too time consuming and that you need to start looking into other solutions. this way you need to rely more on the help or generosity of people to help you. If you are familiar with engine programming you can see how to implement it yourself or atleast see that the desired result is too expensive of an investment.

Excellent video! I've never seen a video covering this specific topic so kudos!

I personally would love to make games, BUT at the same time I want to build my own engine and learn all the nitty gritty bits of graphics programming. In my learning process, knowing the nitty gritty makes creating games actually easier for the most part since you force yourself to learn all this underling math and technology. At the same time, this knowledge can be translated to augmented reality or other sorts of applications. Like you can take your base engine and make a floor plan application, or do a room furnishing app like idea. The israel military used hololens to create a AR mission command with maps showing their assets and enemy position. So the idea of building an engine yourself means you can turn around and build more then just games and you'll probably make more money building those things then games, unless you have a killer unique game idea, then you'll make some cash. Now, i'm not saying to do this for the pure pursuit of money, just ideas of what directions you can go if you love this sort of work and at the same time want to keep a roof and your plates full.

Honestly I just love programming, when it comes down to it I just want to learn new stuff, I have gotten into programming through game creation but I do enjoy all aspects of programming and although I am always more driven towards a gameplay programming job I do like to have a deeper understanding of the tools that I use and are available to me and if I need a tool I don't have money to buy or simply doesn't exist being able to create it myself even if only with the most basic of functionalities its always a plus in my book!

Love the points mentioned in th3 video. Currently I am doing a Msc in games in Denmark and the only reason why the teachers have told us to consider doing our own engine is because of the risk of a comercial engine being sold and not be able to publish because of that. Thanks a lot for your videos 😁

TheBennyBox had an approach to this and had a slightly different response with it. That distinction is something he is trying address. In the past KZread and his channel had tutorials on making engines, but making an engine is quite different from a game. Not many people had an idea what to do after making an engine and he's going over how to make games with an engine currently. These conversations are good and it's pretty awesome having creators like you having these different approaches.

Currently i study Digital Game Design at Bahcesehir University/Turkey. I was thinking that this is what i want but recently i wasn't that sure about what i really want. Thanks to you now i have a better idea about what i want and even myself. THANK YOU!!! (By the way, i was looking for some C++ tutorials, tips and tricks when i saw your channel :) )

This is exactly what I am and was realizing as a 17 year old programmer. I started and I thought I wanted to make games but in really it I just love making algorithms and R&D. I've recently shifted to Machine learning with applications to real time graphics and rendering.

This is a question I've been asking myself for a while. I feel like I’m a bit like you in the sense that I don’t play video games nearly as much as I used to.

Luckily for me, I will also have the opportunity to do another internship at WB Games in rendering right after this one. Hopefully this will help me make up my mind!

Designing a level is a job of level designer. You can be a programmer (write scripts).

No better way to start the morning than with a bit of Cherno!

Hi Cherno, lets tallk about that skillset that you mentioned. Checked : Algorithms and Data Structures, OOP, Math(Linear algebra, calculus, Numerical methods...), Operating Systems, C++, Physics. What I want to know is what are the next steps to take in order to develop game engines ? My guess is theory about computer graphics and OpenGL. I am eager to see what you have to say :D

You can make a game with a pencil and a piece of paper. If game companies are anything like other companies, they will favour those with a wide range of skills that can communicate what they want to people ranging from QA to engine development. Personally, I would love to do something like what Frictional Games did back in the Penumbra days. They made an engine specifically for a game and then developed and evolved their technology along with their studio and their design goals. That's ideal for me and that's what I'm here in this channel for :) keep up the good work, I'm following you now on insta

I'm on the same page with Cherno. I mean I play games, not all of them only high-quality ones like Resident Evil 4 remake stuff, however when it comes down to making games, man it's such cumbersome to me. creating engines, graphics, tools, all the interactions, and performance profiling and optimizing are just my cup of tea. cuz I feel like I'm in the matrix and can do whatever I want. such freedom... However! Ofc a game engine programmer must understand all the aspects of designing a game to improve its game engine and this requires using one of the pre-made game engines like Unity or Unreal since they're huge and developing a few mini-games to see how things going on on these engines.

Hey man, great video... I am a 13 year old boy who is extremely fascinated by the idea of creating games... I had taken a course in c++ last year and I always watch your c++ videos to enhance my knowledge on c++... I am currently doing a summer course in Java... What other languages will I need to learn in order to make games? Is it necessary for me to get this serious about my career now, like I am just in year 9, or can I still give myself time. I mean, am I rushing myself or not? I am asking this question because I sometimes feel that I am rushing myself while sometimes, I feel as if I am slacking off. Can you please advise me on what to do...

Honestly, I want to do a bit of both, but mainly games.

I very much like programming and not so much game scripting, but I wan't to make a game at some point so I guess I'll look into game engine development, thanks for the video

Personal opinion, there is also an important distinction between just wanting to learn about engines and wanting to write one. Even if you are going to use Unity/Unreal/Godot/etc, there is power in understanding the types of decisions they were making, so that you can better make design decisions based on the assumptions that come from knowing how an engine works in the large.

It's kinda interesting how everyone just picks the biggest two engines like Unreal engine or Unity engine while there are many more: for example CryEngine V with similar pricing than Unreal Engine and there are a lot of smaller engines, too. But I think developing your own engine makes the most fun even if it takes pretty long to finish it. :) Still waiting for the moment when you are ready to start making the Engine series. ;)

I would like make a 3D editor. Nothing fancy. Just something basic that can say "hey, this is a 3D game/level editor" that can serve as a base framework expand on, because writing a 3D editor is like a secret.

In the commercial field, almost all games used engines that were used for several games. The team that makes the engine is not the team that makes the games. It was like this even in the MS-DOS times and has not changed. For example, the game Hi-Octane (1994) by BullFrog was made using the engine from Syndicate and Magic Carpet. In professional studios, there are specialists for each area and it was like this for a very long time. The only change is that some companies are now offering game engines for free or very little money. Maybe your personal focus has shifted.

The game engine will be for simple 2D and complex 3D games.

I like Kerbal Space Program, a Unity space game which is plagued with performance issues. I want to make a highly complex game in a similar vein but without the performance issues. Hence no engine is preferable at least to learn optimization from the ground up.

One could argue that games require goals to be considered games.

Speaking as a programmer with over five years of experience, I feel compelled to bring an old word into this discussion: encapsulation. Game engines like Unity and Unreal ENCAPSULATE the lower-level functionality of base software from the higher-level software of a game. This, however, was as true 20 years ago as it is now. I know. I was there. When I first came into college in 1981, one of my classmates was putting together a version of Centipede for the Apple II. This was done in 6502 assembler and was a monolithic program. Though he was well paid for his work, the fruits of his labor were quite dated. Contrast that with the 4X I started working on in 1992. Want to switch platforms? Just recompile the code. So I have a question for The Cherno. Once a good, passable game engine has been written, why is it necessary to keep reinventing the wheel?

I apologize for my short answer, the topic can get pretty long, I didn't mean to offend you in any way, once again my apologies. Here is my take: If we are seeking to make the perfect game engine (theoritically), we need to make each part of it "perfect": -> A perfect Graphics Engine = 100% photorealism using real world mathematical equations and light interaction using a quantum/photon simulator at a speed high enough for realtime applications (like games) at high enough fidelity for our eyes to perceive it as reality. We have the math but lack computing power, quantum computer is supposed to solve this problem in eventual future. (if we can render things of highest complexity, we can render stuff of lower complexity, like 2D for example) -> A perfect Physics Engine = similar to graphics engine, 100% real world physics replication with simulation, we lack processing power. Quantum computers maybe will solve this problem, nobody knows, it is harder than light computation. -> A perfect AI = an AI so advanced you tell what type of game you want to build and it creates it for you, rich story that doesn't feel machine made, huge 3D assets that all feel unique, gameplay mechaniques fine tuned as a human designer made it, NPC that feel life like with rich backstory and have human like behaviour. AI assisted design is something that is _just_ getting started in the AAA scene. -> Perfect performance = No GC, to avoid any kind of unpredictable frame drops, 100% multicore scaling (we are not there yet), hardware strong enough to do all the said above at an affordable price for the consumer (or having a breakthrough in data transfer technology so we could stream the game on any device with close-to-0 latency). "Hardware budget" should be removed from a developer's dictionary. -> Perfect game design = understanding and breaking down 100% the human mind and emotions, encoding it with wished emotional response seeked by the designer and fed into the AI mentioned above. Now all this is just "idealistique theoritical" game engine, what would be a "wheel" in game development. If we are looking for a more short-termed "making the wheel less squarish", making engines without a GC (here goes Unity and Unreal down the drain), 100% data-oriented design from the ground up, a modern language that is both highly performant and compiles really fast and is easily approached (sadly C++ is an old dog, bloated and compiles slowly. JAI is a promising one, but still too young). The current problem with making the "wheel" of game engines is that either lack of engineering power or those that have engineering power are working for "for-profit" based companies that have tied hands because they have investors on board, and those investor hate risks of "innovation" and prefer a stable sure way of multiplication their portfolio. Also the general shortage of "good" developers doesn't help. I hope this answered your question a bit. This is just the tip of the iceberg, pretty interesting stuff.

Honestly if we started making video games earlier in our human centuries then we would be far more advanced to produce better ideas. I would like to build a video game in which my engine if i ever coded can do everything for me without having to code all the base components and features. I would like to enhance more of my coding skills so i can become more skilled and advanced.

Well. If u want to make a shitty games sure its little programming. But if u want to do a good game even with a ready engine. Well u know. Lot of code.

Well if you just use someone else's assets in your game and just code some character movement and interaction then yes, only little programming. But if you're building everything by yourself than ya know, lots of ccoding

Yeah, so much of it is art and design. It has taken me a few years to realize I just don't care that much about game design.

Personally my brain just isn't wired to really understand game engines because there are way too many options and subtabs within main tabs, and I have no idea what's happening. Yes, for some reason, I understand code a lot better and working closely with all the code. So for me, it's necessary to do both the engine and game because I understand the process better.

The wheel was invented a long time ago. Some new wheels are better, but.

patterns and how to use them

I'm definitely here for game engines

I'm one of those people somewhere in the middle. I mean, I want to make games, but I definitely don't want to just use Unreal or Unity's editor and avoid the programming. Using an already existing engine such as these would probably be the best path for me, but I still want to know as much as possible about the underlying technology. I don't want to be restricted to engine / tech development but I don't want to be a pure designer either. I want to code game mechanics, AI, interactive systems.... I guess this role's way better suited for a small indie studio where people can contribute in whatever way they're capable of, as opposed to big studios run by large companies where everyone's confined to an exact task and there's very little deviation from it.

You sound like a person who would benefit from building your own engine with already made libraries, or use a good open-source engine that you have access to source code.

I've already made some kind of a very basic framework using SFML that can "run a game" (read : animate sprites , make them move on a 2D background made with a map editor and detect collisions), but that's been put on hold since I'm busy atm. what open source engines would you recommend for me to learn from the code ?

Godot = a bit too OOP for my taste but made by a really talented developer and really nice code base. Kha = Haxe's game engine, strange but worth checking Cocos = more mature game engine (it used to be the most popular on mobile before Unity). Piston = if you like Rust, go ahead.

@@Legendarior +1 for Godot! You can use it "as is" or modify it how you want! If you create something great - you can ask developers to add it for all users or just as plug-in :-) Xenko engine is also not that bad. It's like "another Unity" but free and open source :-)
