- 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)
- Relax and observe; don't try to remember everything!
- 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
- Read player input
- Change the stuff accordingly
- Draw the next frame
- 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
