don't do gamedev youtube 

"Ghithub first, RU-vid second", you're right, better to be a developer than an influencer.

It's def not worth doing as a grind, just for fun. Hope you get that job and Georgia stays good!

Looking forward to your new content and best of luck with your fight against tyranny! I'm at 4.5 years of gamedev YT and the advice I give is to know what you want to get from your youtube channel before you start. Is it internet fame? Then you need to feed the algorithm (as you say - a performance or tutorial). However that's not the only reason... Is it to drive wishlists for your games? Then you need to be entertaining and have a fun game ready to show. Is it to get feedback? Then you need to be humble and honest, ask for help and admit ignorance. Is it to be part of the community? Then you need to be prepared to watch a lot of other people's devlogs! Is it to get a job? Then you need to be professional and unique enough to stand out. Perhaps only one video as a show reel is all you need. All of those could be the right answer, but the goal should drive the kind of content you make.

Don’t do game dev RU-vid, not even once. I lost my wife and kids

This is true for all software related channels. It's best to not treat RU-vid as a job but as a form of expression or to show off your projects. You don't need to play the content game to make good content.

Sounds like you have a great idea on direction! Good luck to you and I look forward to what is to come!

Focusing on the projects first while making RU-vid videos as a byproduct is definitely the way to go. Your skills will improve faster and it shows in the videos. I've found my audience/viewership to also be more stable over the last 6 years than what is common with the more performative content. Educational content can also be part of that process since it's easy to make a good tutorial when you understand a topic very well. Good luck!

I didn't know it was possible to change a channel name. I thought we had to just create a new channel. Good to learn, thanks.

I love when the RU-vid algorithm throw hidden gems like this channel to my recommendations :D

Good luck Tamta! I hope to see some great game development from you in the near future.

I understand. I perceive RU-vid in 2 ways: work and pleasure. I think pleasure is better, because working on RU-vid is not about pleasure, it's better to go to a regular job (for me). I like to perceive RU-vid as a random intermediary for creating a community, just a place where random game updates will be published

I don't really know much about the topic and definitely have not been making any content for that matter, but I do feel like the reason I watch Sebastian Lague even though he posts once in a blue moon was because of the fact he made his videos based on his interests primarily, and the cool little animation demos to help explain his code. Don't give up though! Have more fun with it!!

good video! correct with the 2 types of video, i think theres a 3rd type of RU-vid gamedev content. the Dev Log, diary kind of content which you talk about the stage the game is in, what worked, what didnt, what are the next goals etc

Another thing to note, educational content is a lot more difficult to make have mass appeal than performative content, so you're more likely to reach mostly other game developers with it.

Whoever you are, you sound like a voice actor. I've heard your voice somewhere else, but I have no idea where.

Following your journey! I know a tiny bit about Georgia, mainly the bench seats in cars and no mandatory child seats. Miss those days over here.

19 years of working in game dev studios and publishers as 3D/game engine R&D programmer and producer. I'm now retired from the industry and doing other things as work. But I decided to subscribe to your channel as what you said in the video sounded interesting to me :)

when i saw pontypants devlog on difficult game about climbing and miziziziz's devlogs after releasing the game, i knew that it was going to be my strat as well

Hey! Loved your video! At what age did you become a gamedev? Also do you have any other source of income or is this your fulltime job? Thanks

youtube just recomended me this video and I'm agree, I wanted to do the a kind of "perfomantive" content but instead of the "I DID [existing game] BUT WITH RTX AND IN 24] type I want to do like "HOW I FIX THIS BUGS IN MY GAME", but the thing is that I don't want to have to do 2 works 😩... even that I'll give a try until I get tired of record my screen with gaps of 30 minutes doing nothing (?).

damn I respect your courage to just stop and move on to new things

It's ok.

I'm gonna be honest. I was watching your every video a long time ago. then youtube stopped suggesting your videos even if I do check your channel time to time. its about consistency of uploads I guess. algorithm doesn't like 2 week no upload then stops suggesting. (also viewer retention)

Well done and best of luck!!

I made a game in... hang on, Unity's loading. Still loading. Um, you know what, this could take a minute. Let's just watch RU-vid.

Oh cool! This is the first video I watch on this channel, which feels a little wrong. "big changes coming!" BUT I JUST GOT HERE! Anyway, I have been trying to get into the game industry for a while now as well. I got a failed kickstarter under my belt now, and a few projects I can start sending pitch decks to publishers. And one thing I did consider was youtube. I was on the fence about it, but you have discouraged me from taking the plunge. Ultimately I want to make games, not game adjacent content. So far, the furthest I've been in this entertainer direction is just writing a blog on patreon. All in all, I'm glad I found your channel, and it seems I found it at the right time. I really don't care for the "making my dream game in a week" kind of content, but I do love some passionate sharing of knowledge and projects. Take care! Fuck Russia.

Nice to hear, it's a reality check (and shock) for a lot of people to understand the amount of effort required to keep things running.

Hey, I'm happy to make you a portfolio website if you're up for it. I am currently on a web development course and need some projects to fill out my portfolio.

Too bad a lot of big GameDev RU-vidrs sell the dream of RU-vid GameDev because it worked for them. Not everyone is good at it or want to be a youtuber... i never did youtube because i didn't like to make content, i like developing games. I work in the industry right now and i'm not a famous youtuber! Of course i can't just make my dream game and everyone will know about it, but being relevant on youtube is actually more difficult than make a good game that sell itself. At least for me, because i don't want to make youtube! So if you don't feel the youtube thing, don't do it. There are many roads to take for gamedev journey, take the best one for you. Nice Video!

After playing the Georgian campaign in Age of Empires 2 the other day, I see Georgians everywhere! Anyways, good luck in your endeavors 😁🙏

stay strong bud

მაიცა ქართველი ხარ? შანსი არააააა. Broooo nooo wayyyyyyy LETS FUCKING GOOOO. მართლა მომეწონა ეს ვიდეო პირველად ვიპოვე შენი არხი. რუსებს რაა დედის ტ*****. subscribed. I honestly respect the grind respect the change of strategy. I wanted to do youtube for fucking forever tried some things here and there but never had the courage to fully commit and fail, you really motivated me ngl. I have special respect for people who try fail and move on change the strategy. წარმატებები.

There is a third kind of content - devlogs.

Thank you

3rd type: devlog, usually less view but ThinMatrix made it work well.

Totally agree ! It's been close to 3 years doing gamedev youtube for me and I realized that there was a direct contradiction between what I need to do to make good youtube and what I need to do to make a good game, forcing me to do stuff just for youtube, taking away time from the important part of making a good game (or at least trying to). Like you said, it feels like 2 jobs. I almost stopped, but I'll do quick short devlogs every X months just to keep it alive and have more than 0 eyes on my game. But while we all wish gamedev youtube was marketing, it's really entertainment, the great majority will never care to buy the game in the end, they are here to watch. Good luck in your gamedev learning journey, I hope you can manage to find a job in the end.

for me at least, gamedev youtube is a means to motivate myself. If I have an audience that expects to see the next devlog, then I'm pressured to work on it. Furthermore, the positive comments and constructive criticism I recieve also help motivate and improve myself. In my experience, gamedev youtube has only been a positive.

You've left out the third category of dev yter - person working on a same game and making development vlogs.

"if you want to do gamedev, you shouldn't do gamedev youttube" This. Either youtube or gamedev.

You can certainly put a bunch of assets together within one day but it will be crapware and shovelware for the steam store . 😂

good video

პირველი ქართველი gamedev ვნახე და ეგეც მიდის 🥲

I understand what you're saying but PLEASE stay the course! We need more females in this field!

0:47 Yeah. Performative content everywhere... Educational content is helpful, but then, it's often not entertaining, namely when it's the kind you search around for to get help on something more specialized and can't find anything but low budget out of touch "content creators" who are really just tech gurus who don't dual-wield skills in tech and content creation. 5:17 Oh... you're in Georgie? And that shits going on? Where's the- NEWS from those big dumb mainstream networks?...

Yeah, the Georgia situation is scary. =/ I'm wishing y'all the best but... idk. When leaders don't listen and are corrupted as yours are It's time to remove them. As you said, they don't care about Georgia. They care about Russia.

Боже какая база и про геймдев ютуб, и про политику. Сам планирую наконец-то в этом году свалить из своей Сибирской дыры в Грузию.

bro it is not the niche, your channel is bad. you create content that is not relevant to your niche and that is why your channel does not grow
