What I'd Tell Myself Starting Game Dev

🕰️ If I could go back to my beginner game dev self, here's what I'd say. No fluff, no sugar-coating—just the honest truths about learning software, juggling programming languages, and why you CAN'T do everything alone. This isn't a "how to code" video. It's a "how to survive and thrive as a solo developer" video. I wish someone told me these things years ago. In this video, I share the hard lessons: 🧠 You'll Never Stop Learning Software: Blender, Godot, Unreal, Substance Painter, Affinity... the list never ends. And that's okay. 🔄 Programming Languages Come and Go: Learn GDScript? Forget some C++. Learn C++? Forget Python syntax. Your brain has limits—accept it. 📦 Lower Your Scope (Drastically): Not just your game scope. Lower your expectations of what YOU can do alone. 🎨 Stop Making Textures From Scratch CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Intro 01:40 - 1. Thing 03:32 - 2. Thing 04:03 - 3. Thing 05:11 - 4. Thing 06:26 - 5.
