Jaagup Irve

• I can code Unity3d C#
  • I presume I'll be doing a lot of lifting for you here
• Blender stuff
  • I have most of the tech skills but I hate fiddling with things until they look good
• I can also build things with Unreal and Godot

Gamedev

Remarks

• Unity is impossible to learn in the time we have!
  • Relax and observe; don't try to remember everything!
    (I try to point out things that we need to remember)
• You can learn this only by having interest and by creating
  • When stuck try for 15 minutes, then try to find help from youtube, chatgpt/claude.ai and then from me.
  • Looking for answers preps the brain to receive it better
• Just mess around as well!
  • Make a clean project and have no regrets

tooling

• Git (+LFS)
  • This is the single most useful transferable nontrivial skill to learn for game/software development
• GDrive
  • I propose a  folder for each project with somewhat structured approaches
  • Let's share our small progresses as well
• Discord
  • Every team should get a chat

program

Any program is a bunch of rules applied to a state

State

Code

game engine

The state is what you build into the world

The code is the program that you download or write yourself

game engine

What does a game engine do?

game engine

1. Read player input
2. Change the stuff accordingly
3. Draw the next frame
4. repeat from step 1

engine specifics

• Unreal Engine: insane requirements, visual programming, great visuals, awful documentation, for teams with money, mostyl
• Unity 3D: great for mobile, untrustworthy company, likes to crash and new versions are very unstable, feature set inconsistent, okay documentation
• Godot: MIT license (you can derive and still sell), small and fast, some missing features, elegant to code
