In this Devlog we will look at what the hardest thing about game development is, and what we can do to overcome it.
I have been writing an FPS game in unity for the past two months. In this time I have learnt so much that I don't think one video could possible cover it all. But as an overview - I have looked at character control, artificial intelligence, animations, 3d modelling and texturing and much more.
Through these past two months I have faced many challenges, and I have been forced to continue learning an researching, which is honestly one of the best things about game development.
One could say that any of the above items are the hardest thing about game development, however, I would say that none of these things are too difficult for somebody to learn. Especially not with all of the resources that are available out there right now.
So - use your time carefully, as managing your time, and using it effectively, is definitely the hardest thing about game development.
Is game development hard? No - no it's not. It just takes time to learn everything that you need to know to put a decent game together.

It took me THREE years to master zbrush, substance painter, photoshop and… being kinda ok in blender, to build my own stuff. People think art is easy, but really designing art is incredibly difficult. I wish more people would understand that it’s not as simple as just make something and be creative.

@GraveUypo 4 месяца назад

the problem isn't so much learning how to do it, but actually doing it. every single asset is a massive labor and you need hundreds if not thousands of them for each game.

@DarkSession6208 4 месяца назад

I started with Photoshop, 3Dsmax, Premiere Pro, Audition because i was doing CS:S Skins etc. when i was 14. Now im 29, making my game and the hardest part is honestly coding. Substance Painter i learned like 5 years ago already. But the coding part is hard to learn because i guess learning C++ takes the longest of all those skills and is really mind bending to grasp as a designer.

@Amelia_PC Год назад

For us artists, coding is the hardest part, even with AI assistance (which is still rather limited for Unreal Blueprint). ChatGPT often gives me weird answers that I have to adjust later. It functions more like an "advisor" rather than a direct solution for Blueprints. But the art part is the most frustrating and time-consuming aspect, where you invest a significant amount of time only to end up with something "meh"...

@Amelia_PC Год назад

@@rocketpoweredchimpgamesphi7798 Thanks! And you programmers are awesome and generous. There are always programmers who act like superheroes, offering help and support on forums and Discord. ^^ Fortunately, non-artistic devs can find nice pre-made assets on marketplaces :) However, I've noticed that some people tend to misuse these assets. For a better art direction, I suggest using AI for generating environment concepts and then following the AI's suggestions to create more visually appealing lighting, maps, and characters. At least, until have the budget to bring an art director to the project.

@brucelee7782 8 месяцев назад

Urgh im a dev learning art for 6 months and it's the worst. You move your hand around so much with so little theory that it's the manual labour of the digital world. Sorry to say this but in the same hour programming has more value than drawing art, in majority of the time at least. And what's worse AI can just do what you do in fractions of seconds. One good piece takes 8 hours to draw and color if you're fast? AI? 1min at most. I hate it. But I have to do it anyway. - Rant

@Amelia_PC 8 месяцев назад

@@brucelee7782 "Sorry to say this but in the same hour programming has more value than drawing art" Yup. Agreed. Even as a hobbyist coder, I can whip up more in three hours than most 3D stuff takes. Ai for 2D, though... That's another story. As a comic book veteran of almost two decades (yeah, not the "golden" career path, but it pays the bills!), I've been using Stable Diffusion and ControlNet with my own custom models, but the results are still industry-unusable garbage. No improvement with updates, just the same old junk nobody fixes.BUT... here's where things get exciting! AI for 3D animation? Holy moly, NVidia and Cascadeur are blowing my mind! Don't even get me started on AI for sound and voice - those ElevenLabs folks are straight-up wizards.

@rocketpoweredchimpgamesphi7798 Год назад

Yep! Me after 3 years searching for full time game dev (as currently a Unity developer, but with lots of older C++ (professionally - 8yrs), NOW moving to UE5) roles... TOP TIP: Regardless of what tutors, recruiters, or "your mates" say, you must LEARN UNREAL ENGINE... and even then it will be hard to get into the industry! You will find it very difficult to get a position in Unity dev alone, UNLESS you have experience in having already created your OWN multiplayer / mobile games, around 80% of roles (over the last 3 years of looking EVERY day) seem to be C++ and Unreal Engine, as even those AA/AAA that don't use UE, use their own engines written in C++ (Glacier, Decima (Guerilla Games), CryEngine) etc etc! In my experience over hundreds of job applications and recruiter calls / interviews, they nearly ALWAYS ask for Unreal experience, and MULTIPLAYER! So learn them!

@@gamingoverpowered4127 you can certainly make high quality games in Unity, but personally I prefer Unreal as well. Epic actually make games with their engine, so the features of the engine are geared around making real world workflows more efficient. Aside from a brief time period where Unity did have their own game project, Unity does not make games with their engine.

I am gonna have to say both are really important but I am a bit more inclined towards codes a tad bit more important Because it’s what gives life, state, logic to the world You can use basic asset and animation but have solid game mechanics. You can have shit animations but use procedural animation to make dynamic animations. You can have pretty asset but a buggy character controller with rich animation but bad code is going to ruin the fun the moment you start moving.

At least that's what I feel whenever I see incredible art and or games. I start to go insane with the urge to create, but with the inability to create art and other assets I'm stuck at a stand still.

@ty_teynium Год назад

I hear that Coding is easy and Art is hard, and I completely disagree here. To me, Coding is not something I think everyone gets (ie especially me). Art is only limited by one's imagination, not their creativity, creative potential, or even lack thereof. You may think you have a crappy looking game because there's no textures and therefore no art direction. To me, That IS the Art Direction! That's an Artistic choice, and you have every right to stand by it! Coding, at least to me, is the hardest part. You'll never be told what the error is, and people will tell you there is now wrong way to code. Yes there is! It's called an error. The Compiler is there for a reason. You know the part where you run your code and nothing happens, or a crash occurs? That would be the wrong way. That being said coding can be interesting and not at all boring. Heck, it allows me to explore more things to add to my project, at least until I realize I'm doing too much. For example, the landscape part I get, but there's this channel Sebastian leag. He has a video on procedural generation to create landscapes. If you got the coding skills, you can accomplish the same art challenges I'm sure, No art skill required. I would definitely follow his methods as well as any other coders methods if they had one, but I don't mind going my own way because I can do animation, texturing, VFX, etc.

Sorry I'm so late to this reply, but I totally get you. It often feels like a lot of the knowledge on the critical parts of game dev are locked up behind the doors of AAA companies. There are some amazing resources I've found on Artstation. But even a lot of paid courses and content just seems to lack that bit of structure and reason to make it useable in an actual project.
