Passive Income For Game Developers - 5 Ways To Make It 

MIT would be better, so they can learn from it, improve it and make money with it as well

In USA they would just plagarize the material and claim it as theirs it's why copyright is such a big issue in America

@@teatea4496 Under the GPL and also under MIT that is not allowed, attribution is required as defined under those licenses.

@@laylbongers7358 MIT licence does not require attribution. You are thinking of the BSD licence, which used to require attribution, but does not require it anymore. In any case, you're giving the code away. Placing conditions on it - like the GPL does - is not really giving it away. Whatever conditions you put on it are a form of payment. If you are really done with it and giving it away, it shouldn't matter to you that someone else can turn around and sell it; presumably, you have already exhausted the market for it anyway, so they will not be able to sell very much of it. Especially since grabbing it and selling it does not in any way prevent people from getting it for free, since you know... you're giving it away. If somebody is selling free samples, that only really matters to the people dumb enough to buy a free sample when they're free right over there.

Hey! What did You sell?

it's a Drone controller Asset, i'm planing to update it with templates for drone racing and drone shooter as well :) you can find it in my channel

HAHAHHAAHHHAHHHAHAHAHA fucking legend

You know what would be a really cool thing. If you made a racing game out of it. That would be cool in my opinion.

@@newsystem3667 Lets bet u have now waaaay more income ?! :) ! :)

@Manny Dorsey: Still better than to be a corporate slave. ^__^

Nah Manny, I have rental property and they handle it all. I don't need to think about it. Even after all of the expenses including the management company, repairs, etc... I make $10,000 a year per house. The management company only took about $1,000 of that. But even if they took a lot of money... I do *NOTHING* at all and get a 5 figure income per house. Occasionally I have to approve some kind of repair (which involves sending an email with "yes"), but mostly don't even think about it. Sure there is some profit cut out... but I get back all the time I would spend on managing it. I can use that time to pursue some other money making opportunity. Nearly every other use of my time can make more than a 4 digit/year income. Including working at McDonald's or something. So "Cuts out so much profit" is inaccurate. It's creates more profit.

What kind of job? I've been really thinking about doing this but I can only find kid coding instructor positions which I know usually don't provide enough hours...

What part of game dev are you interested in? Art or programming, or just game dev in general? It may be best to wait to go to college until you're sure you need to. Especially if you want to make games, you should avoid accruing debt.

Joseph Brandenburg game development in general. I live in india, here the colleges don't cost as much, so money is really not a problem. Plus I kinda wanna go to college cause I might get to meet people, who might wanna make games with me.

Fair enough. I don't know much about India except for the stuff that's big enough to make headlines on US news. My advice would be to teach yourself everything you can right now, you'll go into school more prepared and have an easier time. If you start making a simple game now, you'll have some perspective on what it is you like, don't like, want to specialize in, want to get help for, etc. Plus, if you know a lot going in, the chances of leading a project increase. Finally, you may realize that it isn't for you and decide to refocus. I've been teaching myself 3D art and I'm (hopefully) about to start a pretty selective program. Since I already know my strengths, I can more easily focus on improving in the areas I feel weak.

Joseph Brandenburg thanks man, that really helps, that is actually what I planned to do, and having someone give the same advice gives assurity

I don't think I was clear about this, but University won't get in the way of anything, either. I started learning 3D in high school, and it's taken so long to get through the pre-reqs in college that I haven't done any 3D stuff beyond mere basics. But the traditional art classes I've taken were good. I imagine game dev has some similar stuff- you'll probably be forced to sit through a basic JS class all over again even though you already know how to program, but you might be introduced to some new perspectives along the way. The point is, it may feel like a waste of time for the first year or two or three. That's why I've been trying to take control and teach myself- it will be worth it when I get into that program, and I hope to be ahead of the curve.

I'm intersteed in that too! I'd definitely read it.

Having said that, I haven't got anything up on the Unity store yet, because their approval system takes weeks and if you haven't done exactly what they require, they reject it. So then you have to submit it again and wait another few weeks

Even if this is true, it's still valuable to have a bunch of information collected all in one place. It's not going to change the world, but might be worth money to some.

You know every book is, right? Like...there is even a section called "bibliography" and "references" on every single decent book

why?
