Attempting to Learn 3D Game Development in One Week 

yo, this video has gotten a lot more views than it deserves for being as dumb and badly put together as it was, so I feel like I should clear a few things up. First off, to game devs who are just starting out: don't attempt to do exactly what I did, because it probably won't work out well. And I'm not saying this because I think I'm smarter or better at game dev than you. In all honesty, I'm pretty average and tons of people could've done a lot better in my shoes. But that's just the thing, not everyone is in my shoes and has the same experience that I had. Prior to this I'd been making 2D games and was quite familiar with coding, so carrying that over to Unity and 3 dimensions was fairly simple. I mentioned this in the video, but I've seen too many comments in the vein of "wow this was impressive, I would never be able to do this" which frankly makes me feel a little bad, since most people probably would be able to do this if they had the same experience I had and I don't want to discourage anyone who doesn't realize this. So I just wanted to reiterate that this was just a video made for shits and giggles by a guy who already knew how to make 2D games and wanted to apply that knowledge to 3 dimensions. Also, everyone learns at their own pace in their own way, and the rate at which that gets done doesn't really matter as long as you're able to learn what you needed to learn in the end (within reason of course, if it takes 8 years to figure out how to print "hello world", then we might have a problem). So even if you have as much experience as I did, there should be no reason to feel bad if you take more time. Because ultimately, it doesn't really matter how quickly you're able to learn how to make games. As a game developer, you develop games, and the quality of those games is really the only thing you should be worrying about, not how quickly you can make them. Of course, this mostly only applies if you're doing this as a hobby, and if you have a deadline to meet and bills to pay, you should probably worry a little more. And on the other side of the spectrum, to those who think this video was faked: it wasn't lol. As mentioned before, I already knew how to make 2D games and how to program things, arguably the hardest part of developing games. Because of that, the focus of this video wasn't on that but rather applying what I knew to 3D games by learning 3D modelling, animation, and how to work with Unity, which was fairly easy and straightforward thanks to the massive amounts of documentation and resources available on the internet and such. But mostly this was just for shits and giggles since I find messing around with 3D games entertaining, and I feel like people may be reading into it too much lol. Also there are a few continuity errors that a few people have caught in the dates shown on my computers taskbar, but that was caused by how I usually record clips while video editing, and not when I'm actually making the games. So I just have a weird workflow. And last thing, to RU-vid: why the fuck does this have 500,000 views. did the algorithm break? I can think of a whole lot of videos that deserve 500,000 views, and this is definitely not one of them. so if you're watching this, go watch someone else's video or something, this one has way too many views already.

A game developer learning how to make 3d games for years Steven: IMMA SPEEDRUN THIS MANS WHOLE CAREER

Unity and Unreal both have "un" in them but if we remove "un" we get "Real" and "ity" which makes "Reality"

This video taught me to spend way too much time on ragdolls when making a 3D game

3d is pretty cool

Steven: learned everything in a week Me: Learns how to make a cube in a month.

you learned to do all this in a week and i spent a whole month trying to make a sprite sheet FOR A 2D GAME

This guys humour is a gift to humanity

wat the you learned all this in 1 week?!??!??!!?!??!

So you learned how to: Use unity Make a 3d game Use blender for modeling Add multi-player support Add vr support Make ragdolls And have them adaptively walk in 1 week while I still can't figure out how to make an inventory system

That's really f'in impressive

9:19 Honestly that's pretty accurate.

4:18 That reload animation. I can't stop laughing!

Did almost more than I have done in a year, but in a week. Thank you for being another youtuber to crush my hopes and dreams. Also love the deadpan humor.

Me: this will be fun 1hr later: WHY ISN'T THE CAMERA ROTATING??!!!!

Can we appreciate how he made 3 functional games in 7 days with one being vr

"temporaly disables their joints" is probably my new favourite sentence😂

Me when I saw the robots: THATS a lot of BILLYS

5:13 -What effect you want? -*Y E S*

Man the fact that you did this in a week is really cool. I’m 14 and really into game development (but I’m really bad at it), and I’ve spent the last week trying to make a single low poly character model in blender.

damn bro..the rag doll / inverse kinematics stuff is super interesting D: Good work!

Thank you, Steven! You inspire new indie game developers and RU-vidrs, such as myself, to pursue our dreams!

This is epic I love the Dani inspired hints. Very cool

Steven: "improvements" *suspense music plays* me: *comes back from the bathroom and screams*

This was so entertaining! Laughed out loud at several points 😂

This video is so entertaining! Good job!

I am impressed with your transparency. Subscribed you!

9:18 "Bullies everywhere"

Me: *sees this video* Also me: this is like Karlson 3D but with extra steps

Of all the tutorial/gamedev videos on youtube, this is the one that finally got me started on a project. This was the eye-opener that helped me realize that no, this stuff isn't going to take years to learn. Thank you, Steven. =)

Props for this amazing progress in so little time!

The thing we don’t talk about haunts my dreams

I hear Zelda and chill in the background and then I immediately subscribed

Thank you brother!! This is very useful. this video will help me a lot.

Oh God! I was trying to make a FPS myself and didn't understand any shit about what was going on in 3D, I want to learn Blender, but cmon, I have an attention span of a baby seal, seeing you video, buddy, it gave me a path that I can follow pretty easily. So, here's a subscribe! Lol.

Ragdolls make me go very Y E S

Dani: has billy Steven: has the dog robot XD

Awesome, exactly the video I was looking for

I don't even have Unity and I got every thing in my head! Steven you explain every thing so good!

6:29 what you were trying to draw😂😂😂😂

It's crazy how inspiring and good this guy is, A GAME MAKER Is born, If I had the option I would put your Game GAME OF THE YEAR!! Or Decade 😂👌

I really enjoyed this video. Thumbs up

euphoria competitor is coming ;D the best "ragdoll2physics&objects" is wat we want ;D thx for the cool video, perfect fitting to the guy who "made" "minecraft" with unity

That "improvement“ is absolutely terrifying

Just a reminder. I was here before 1 mill subs

this was really cool und funny to watch! :D

I loved this video, thank you for making it.

I get some Dani vibes, and those are awsome! you deserve way more subs!

I could relate to this. It didn't really take me long to learn game development. I had good tutorials, a forum to ask questions, Google, RU-vid. So, it took me about 2 or 3 weeks to get my first game going. And I didn't start easy. I went straight into making a game like Super Mario from the Original Nintendo in a game programming language/library called BlitzBASIC.

Great humour and ragdolls go brrt haha 69. I quite enjoyed the unserious video style 😁 Keep it up

OMG I LOVE THIS CHANNEL HOW COME I NEVER SAW THIS EARLIER

*_why dont you try make a 3d game (or you cant do that?)_*

The quaternions thing is so accurate. I got stuck for almost a week on that while learning unity and quaternions still touch me inappropriately to this day.

This is amazing. Hilarious and informative content

I am subscribing that is awesome!!!!!

8:39 POV: you're a bag of cheetos in the pantry

Tbh This is my favorite video on this channel, because It really inspires me to make 3D Unity games! Keep up the good work! :D (I also have only made 2D games XD)

This is so inspiring 😂 you learned fast man

Super funny and interesting content. I want to see more!

I wish you could do a tutorial series on the process you went through... I've been looking for the same things you learnt

id like to say this guy makes more progress in one week than most of us would make in two years.

Your videos are the best!!!

This is amazing !!

“And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was.... it was okay.” -The Book of Steven

Loving it!

I'm 2 days into unity as well and my timeline is going pretty similarly too, also I hope to keep up with what you did because it looks pretty well structured :D (tho I dont know C# so that's a first :c )

Remember me when you hit 1 million subs

8:38 I slightly choked on my pepsi and spat a bit out LMAOOO

you r the best RU-vidr and the funnest

I love this channel and Steven

remember me when u reach 1mil

Steven: master coder Also steven: uses paint to explain

Sounds fun, im going to do it right now

Love the “Zelda and chill” in the background

One week? All of that! U should be proud of what you did.. I mean SO PROUD.

I've been using Unity for about a year and I don't even know how to do all of this...

because of this "even sicker reload animation" , I liked the video. But that default dance made me question life, subscribe to your channel, shred a tear then turn on bell notifications. Life cannot get better than this

I love the Zelda Fairy music in the background at the beginning

this is proof that looking stuff up learns you more then a school does in a year

"Looked bad and was kind of jank" haha yea that is basically every 3D model or game feature I work on, still awesome!

Liked and subbed because of this video

love you bro you motivates me

4:20 was that Karlson vibe !!!!!!!!!!

This is amazing!! How did you setup 3d ragdolls with Unity's system? I can never get it to work correctly. :( Also, how did you make them active ragdolls? I couldn't ever figure this out with 3d. Only with 2D. :(

This guy just inspired me to develop a game and create a game company. I’ll now go to learn a bit XD

in the second u say that u make games or atleest u try right up i subscribed

hidden reason for why steven picked unity: unity's particle system.

He made a walking game into a horror by just fusing a human with walking cubes. Genius

Nice graphics style!

Love you brother❤

Dani: *Make 3D game in 3 days* Steven:How the f-

uhhhh, it's straight up mind blowing you did al this in a week, not gonna lie.

Bro I just love the great fairy fountain lo fi music in the backround hahahha

I love your content

Dude, I’m trying to do exactly this, you have discoed I want you to teach me man. I could just do a free template coin animation with physics. I want to learn blender and unity.

3d games?ragdoll? Consult dani his the best at it especially UNITY'S PARTICLE SYSTEM

I love this channel

yo this video reminds me of dani so great job

6:08 "After a few hours was able to convert the game to multiplayer' what the actual hell please give me these magic sources of yours
