How to become a Game Developer ⬇️
A fact: I am the 2022 Indie Fan Favorite Second Rank World Champion in Game development out of 149 countries represented India at GDWC.
Most games are usually built on game dev softwares that are known as engines.
There are many game engines:
Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, Cryengine etc.
Some companies make their own engines
for max control over customizability:
RAGE (Rockstar), Frostbite (DICE) etc.
Every engine has pros & cons, future potential, research before choosing any engine.
All engines have diff ecosystems, community support potential and marketplaces.
Engines with best community support are:
Unreal Engine (UE), Unity
More users of a engine = better chances of getting help/updates in the case of any issue.
UE is quite hard to get started with due to steep learning curve thanks to overwhelming amount of in built features.
How devs see it globally:
UE = Better for Hyper realism, PC, Console
Unity = Better for mobile and portable devices
You can however create games for most platforms in both engines. But before choosing any engine see if it's feature availability meets your career or personal goals.
To start learning game development:
There are two ways:
Self Learn or Institute
Now if you're like me who's a student short on budget but still wants to achieve big heights,
go for self learn. I won't guide you wrong even if haters will spread hate in comments, but here's the truth- game dev institutes in India has syllabus that is very outdated isn't worth lacs of fee they charge and provide very little value & knowledge according to international standards in game dev today. That's the ground reality I learnt after winning competitions globally. Btw, I am a self learnt game developer.
so If I can do it myself most can.
However even then if you want to join classes it's on you and lacs of fee is on your parents.
Now the main thing, how to self learn:
I learnt Unreal engine from:
Online documentations, UE community
& Youtube tuts
That's it. On internet you can find and learn anything, given that you are commited to stay dedicated, do hardwork and practice daily, you can also become a world famous game developer one day. The self learn journey I followed is unique, but very rewarding.
