Everything I Learned at Game Dev University 

can't seem to go inside the link provided(says something about proxy error)

@@irinrekhamurmu3134 Dang, it's probably a local issue on your end, unfortunately, have you tried using a different browser? (or turning off any active vpns)

This link isn't working for me as well.

@@ChinchillaBONK try doing it on mobile maybe? I just tried it and it’s still working for me :/

@@MyGameDevPal I have been using this on my Chrome while at my work. Does region matter? I am based in Asia.

I appreciate your kind words!

I'm happy to hear you found this useful (again) ;)

Awesome, thank you! Welcome aboard ^_^

Thanks Shelfman! I hope so too :)

Not as insightful as your content, but I try 😅

@@MyGameDevPal oh stop! You have actual industry experience, I just talk a lot! lmao

You can do it! (But do try and work with people if possible)

If you're set on the game development track, then Newcastle is the best possible option for you, with leeds being a close second. With that being said, you could go to oxford to specialize in computer graphics and get into the industry that way, it's really up to you!

Thanks dude! And thank you for your help with this one 🙏

@@MyGameDevPal No problem!

I'm happy you're finding this stuff useful :)

🆒 ^_^

Ah dang, I’ll get to that some time this week and respond here with the new links, sorry mate!

@@MyGameDevPal fine mate. Looking forward to that

I dont know

Well it seems like you could apply for game development companies that are looking for website development related things such as like a cash shop on their website, etc. However for actually working on the game itself would be kinda meh due to the differences in languages and engine choice(engine choice and knowledge is a real kicker) , I believe if u want a shot with your web development experience, you should be able to show them that you are capable of using popular engines and native language (Unreal engine/Unity and c++/C# respectively). Because I believe that HTML and Mysql are kinda different when we r speaking about actual game code. But then again you could be very valuable when it comes to database connections with player info on a cloud maybe. Dont wanna sound like a downer but, web devs are very common and guess it depends on company to company.

I have done exactly this except I haven't made it into the game development industry yet. Honestly, web dev is great in terms of pay and job opportunities. But to tell you the truth, the web apps I have built haven't really helped me to make good video games. Only benefits that I took away from my web dev job that I have applied are some general things like learning to code, important programming organization / components, user interface and user experience design, project management, and really anything you could learn just from making games yourself if you try to learn those topics yourself. Another benefit of the web dev job first I see is working on production code with lots of other developers. You can learn a lot of skills if you are working on larger projects with other people who also contributing code. But other than that, C# and C++ are very different beasts compared to javascript. I have not tried hard to interview or apply for positions in the games industry and honestly have just kept game development as a hobby for now until I can build up my portfolio and skills more. Best way to make games is by... well, making games. Not web apps. However, web development can help you in your career, development, and many other skills that you could apply to your future game dev job. Web dev also helps pay the bills in the meantime. I definitely enjoy making games as a hobby so far, but I will say one thing I need to do differently is keep myself more accountable with accomplishing and setting ACHIEVABLE game dev goals. It's also easy for life to get in the way of my hobby when I don't set aside dedicated time to reaching those goals.

@@joshwilliams4874 Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I'll consider potential options on how to improve my game code skills

@@embergamedev Your story is inspiring and motivating! It has given me some confidence to pursue web dev while aspiring to be a game dev. Thank you for sharing. I'll work hard as well and hopefully we'll both reach our dream career as a game dev one day :) !

Hey bud, my degree was designed to get you hired as an engine developer if you are really good, that’s the job I ended up getting, it taught me more than I could have ever hoped for in such a short time.

Hey, thanks! I use the adobe suite, so primarily premier pro, after effects and photoshop.

@@MyGameDevPal I really like the first couple seconds. The swoop effect and all that is really good!

Of course! It was Ike: twitter.com/ike_design He's remade a few of my previous thumbnails, and he will be designing my future ones. He's a very talented and friendly designer!

@@MyGameDevPal thanks

Never give up mate, keep pushing, it'll come!

I went to Newcastle university for my masters in games engineering and Southampton for my undergrad

Strange, can you double check your spam folder?
