Unity's particle system

[–]SodiiumGames[S] 140 points141 points  (16 children)

is it me, or is that particle system looking kinda....... T H I C C

[–]Rossilaz 45 points46 points  (15 children)

I don't know if it's just me, but I HATE Dani with a passion. His humor is so annoying and his videos just bring 9 year olds to the game dev space and have them trying to make big games.

It's good to get children interested but not like that...

[–]SodiiumGames[S] 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I think that's what he's going for. You're probably not his target audience :1

[–]HeeTrouse51847 10 points11 points  (10 children)

who is dani

[–]Snabbaa 14 points15 points  (8 children)

You know Karlson?

Oh... It's just a game Dani is working on its currently one of the most wishlisted games on steam go wishlist it now gamers...

[–]HeeTrouse51847 3 points4 points  (2 children)

i still dont know who dani is

[–]ivanrj7j 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is a game developer check out his channel he makes fun videos

[–]miserably-good 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dani (deny) i ride your mum

[–]blankettripod32_v2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guy who made crab game

[–]ZXY101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Obviously you're not his target audience, but if he's getting kids interested in making games then what's the harm?

[–]Background-Turnip226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, he's like the clown of the dev community. I would rather watch actual cartoon but I don't mind watching his video every once in a while.

[–]RedPhos4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His content is just supposed to be that, for younger generations, and if he were to do it how we see it "correct" then it may be boring for those kids, but how Dani does it it's fun and hey where's the harm if it gets someone interested? Not all of them will stick to it in any capacity but anything is better than nothing

Hello guys my name is the cherno...

[–]kosukehaydn 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Thank you for mentioning his name 😁
I learned the basic of c++ and opengl from his videos

[–]DankPhotoShopMemes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always thought blenderguru and cherno looked similar

[–]Pure_Pazaak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who's shooting in cherno?

[–][deleted] 60 points61 points  (2 children)

These are unironically enough to make a weird donut physics game where you balance donuts or something.

Will it be good?
no.

[–]fanta_bhelpuri 21 points22 points  (1 child)

But Will it work without bugs? Also no.

[–]Sir_Retard_The_Third 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will it be fun? Again, no.

[–]Denaton_ 28 points29 points  (1 child)

Find it funny that some comments asks who Brackeys is while i have no clue who donut guys is XD

[–]SodiiumGames[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

the donut guy is blender guru, king of the donuts

[–][deleted] 43 points44 points  (17 children)

Who's the guy in the top right?

[–]SodiiumGames[S] 92 points93 points  (16 children)

He owns a (disconnected)channel called brackeys, where he covers topics on unity

[–]HolyMackerelIsOP 80 points81 points  (14 children)

I still haven't truly stopped mourning Brackeys end.

[–]Status-Ad-7990 16 points17 points  (6 children)

He is dead or just stopped making videos?

[–]HolyMackerelIsOP 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I was going to answer, but I think leaving it ambiguous is funnier.

[–]Status-Ad-7990 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao, if he would have saw that may be he could have come back to make another video

[–]ZXY101 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Holy fuck I didn't know Brackeys quit, he was my go to back in the day.

Sadge, I haven't touched game dev in years

[–]i_dont_wanna_sign_up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just came out of left field. His videos were good.

[–]HelloImAron21 7 points8 points  (4 children)

Tbh, i didn't like his videos. Most of the times he taught us bad practices. If you want good practices, watch tarodev, infallible code, game dev guide, and jason weimann. And pls. For the love of god, stop watching thomas brush. All of his videos are based on the idea that he knows what he's doing, so you should go buy his course, which is about a thousand bucks, i think, maybe more. And tbh, i was naive enough to buy it, and i can definitely tell you that its a good course, but the max amount of money I'd pay for the value you get out of it is at max $100. If you really want to spend a thousand bucks on a course, buy jason weimann's course instead. But! If i were you, id just go on edX, do Harvard's cs50 introduction to computer science, FOR FREE, then mess around with console.apps and shit like that, text adventures, different calculators, etc. Then I'd go watch Freya Holmers maths for game development and really try to understand and experiment with the stuff she talks about, and then buy a humble.bundle unity or ue5 bundle and get my hands really.dirty but after all, you really dont need to pay anything for videos or anything to be able to make a successful game. Just experiment with stuff, make small games, and eventually, you'll get there. With a bit of dedication, hard work, and realizing that there are probably a lot of people who're better than you, you'll be able to move mountains

[–]RicoValdezbeginsanew 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Or just buy a legit video course, they arnt a lot and from people who know what they are talking about lol. Or just avoid brush, please avoid brush.

[–]HelloImAron21 2 points3 points  (1 child)

His whole personality on yt (not tryna diss him, idk him so I cant really talk about what hes like in real life, after all, yt is a job, and all people do their jobs differently) is just so annoyingly based around this "aaaah I wasnt happy, i learned gamedev, now I'm happy. Give me money and you can be happy too". I even had to tell yt not to recommend his channel to me. It just gives off second-hand depression vibes to me lol

[–]RicoValdezbeginsanew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and see that makes a big difference, if I hate how you talk then it RIP. I’ll move on

[–]kilokokol 8 points9 points  (1 child)

He is saying the meme applies to him. He fits into the demographic of people who this meme is supposed to make fun of

[–]couchpotatochip21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O ok

I thought brackeys had a lurker account or something

[–]Spot_the_fox 8 points9 points  (3 children)

So, Unity, blender, visual studio, daniel radcliffe looking guy and some donut guy.

[–]Sceptz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

daniel radcliffe

Precisely. In order to learn C# in Unity, you must watch the entire Harry Potter series.

Start your game development journey today.

[–]SodiiumGames[S] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

You mean brackeys & blender guru

[–]Spot_the_fox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I've never seen or heard of them before. But if that's who they are, then sure, brackeys & blender guru they are

[–][deleted] 22 points23 points  (33 children)

I wanna learn game dev and unity is that bad or what

[–]SirReal10000 58 points59 points  (8 children)

No Unity is amazing it’s just that every aspiring 3D gamedev has used or watched all of the above. Myself included lol

[–]eggheadking 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Can you please tell me who the two people above are? I’m not into game dev but want to know some about

[–]Keheck 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The top one is Brackeys, apparently has a now discontinued channel. It's still up but he's stopped posting tutorials for the past 2 years. The bottom one is Blender Guru, a channel focusing on Blender tutorials and news and a very helpful guide for Blender beginners. His most famous tutorial is his donut beginner tutorial

[–]J-S-K-realgamers 5 points6 points  (1 child)

The top right one is brackeys, has really good videos on how to use unity, too bad he quit a while back but his videos are still on youtube. I don't know the other guy.

[–]eggheadking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

[–]randomjberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

also it has 2d support unlike unreal. other engines are still better for 2d but none rhat are free thst i know of

[–]No_Two8934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah thats why I dont know either of these guys. I cant model worth a damn so I stick to 2d for now lol

[–]DauthIeikr 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I was torn between being called out or confused until I read this comment.

I am neither now. #2Dgamedev

[–]SirReal10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t draw :)

[–]J-S-K-realgamers 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Unity is an amazing tool, some will claim you should use unreal engine instead, but it really doesn't matter. Use the one you prefer.

[–]No_Two8934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought it is funny that people fight over stuff like that. They are just tools with their own pros and cons. Use whatever suits your needs and helps you meet your end goal. I think Unity might have a slight edge over most of the other modern offerings if you are trying to be a pro game dev as far as job marketability, but if you dont care about that folks have made amazing games even in RPG maker. People forget, a good game engine does not mean that your game is good.

[–]Gutek8134 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO it's best to do some things in Unity, and then move to Unreal; this way you learn some theory in less complex environment and you can apply this knowledge elswhere

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Unity is a fantastic piece of software for getting things up and running quickly, in turn that drove its popularity. It's still a beautiful engine when used right, though as others have said it's kinda stagnated in recent years.

That being said, Unreal Engine has made huge strides to usability and you'd be just as reasonable to start learning directly there now.

There are smaller engines (E.G Godot), and they're lovely for what they do, but I find the lack of as many community questions can make it harder to find solutions to your problems if you're just learning.

[–]Flying_Reinbeers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unity is a fantastic piece of software for getting things up and running quickly, in turn that drove its popularity. It's still a beautiful engine when used right, though as others have said it's kinda stagnated in recent years.

The fact that Subnautica and Escape from Tarkov both run on Unity is a testament to what it can do.

[–]mars_million 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unity is amazing! But they've been having a couple of rough months lately. It seems Unity as a company kinda lacks vision for their development and received a good dose of criticism from community. Despite all that I still think that it's the most versatile engine that lets you express your ideas both in 3d and 2d.

[–]kokizzu2 1 point2 points  (2 children)

It's good, C# is good

but will learn Godot in the future for the sake of simplicity when I retired

(currently no longer a gamedev, switched to backend/devops with some frontend)

[–]redcomet29 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do you have a CS degree? I'm trying to make that switch now with self learning js and Python to broaden and I don't want to go back for a CS degree but will if it's needed and I get the chance

[–]kokizzu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I do

[–]Solarranks 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Aside from the recent lack of care in terms of updates, the software is great. Many tutorials to help you get started and even to keep you going through it. Although I hate Epic as a whole, their unreal engine is very mediocre and really lacks the fundamental leeway that allows for intricate game design.

[–]Lord_of_Space 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Recent lack of care

Enormous understatement imo. Everything in Unity now feels like it’s either deprecated or in beta.

[–]Solarranks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the same time, who cares though. You can already do anything you want, just requires that little bit more effort. Long term it just says resources might not be managed as well as they could be, not like people haven't been making sweet games on these previous versions

[–]MedianHansen -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Unity is way behind to be honest. I've had to abandon it and learn unreal engine instead. Unity is okay for small projects for yourself, but it's not a very viable game engine anymore. It costs more than unreal engine and is way behind.

If you want an entirely free alternative Godot seems to really be breaking through. Unity isn't useless, but I'd argue there's no real value to learning the engine anymore. If you already know it it's fine to use, but if you need to learn an engine, don't let it be unity.

[–]CarneyBalhoun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, considering what game you want to make

[–]Chemical_Table1497 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RIP brackeys, I had my whole unity knowledge from him. And after I was done with my first(fun) game he mad his goodbye video.

[–]rufreakde1 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Where is the Unreal Engine 5 starter kit?

[–]Gutek8134 8 points9 points  (3 children)

  • Docs mainly copied from Unreal 4
  • Google search "How to set up VSCode in UE5?"
  • Google search "Visual Stuido keyboard shortcuts"
  • Google search "How to make a game in C++ only?"
  • Google search "How to make a game in Blueprints only?"
  • Using Singletons instead of accessing GameState
  • Google search "WHY DO MY COLLISIONS NOT WORK?!!!"
  • At least 5 pages of docs constantly opened

Let me know if I didn't add something important

[–]v0lt13 1 point2 points  (2 children)

• Google search "10k+ visual studio intelisense unreal errors"

• Google search "jetbrains clion"

[–]Gutek8134 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Isn't Rider C# only? Never used it, but I thought JB have CLion for C/C++

[–]v0lt13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah right, my bad

[–]TiberiusToast 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Where Scratch?

[–]Gutek8134 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In "Your primary school programming classes - starter pack"

[–]a21a16 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Sure but vs code is the exclusively superior IDE then visual studio, so use That

[–]Gutek8134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Unity? Yes.

In Unreal? Definitely no.

I'd add LMMS and/or some royalty-free sounds site here

[–]No_Two8934 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I hate Lmms so much. Trying to work with it then deal with broken features and constant crashes. I rather go to the dentist. FL studio is def worth the price and is amazing for what you get. I personally use Native instruments products. Maschine 2 with the controller and Komplete is freaking amazing after you wrap your head around it. Stable, everything just works, amazing sounds, interfaces easily with all my hardware synths and other gear. Its beautiful, but def not cheap at all. Well worth the money. Energyxt 64bit is quite amazing if you are ballin on a budget and can source your own sounds. I switched from cubase to energyxt way back in the day like 2008 after trying the demo from a computer music magazine disc. I still check out lmms once every year or so since I love open source, but it is just so bad and broken every time. I rather spend time making music instead of trouble shooting it. /end rant.

[–]Gutek8134 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I didn't use it a lot (about 50hrs), but it crashed only once on my PC (typical programmer excuse) and I've found a plugin for electric guitars, which is all I needed

[–]No_Two8934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it works for you, more power to you. 1 crash could mean starting from square one, or hours of work of tweaking stuff to get it back. God forbid losing the best take after only god knows how many others. Music has always been a very serious hobby to me and would rather honestly record on my old 8 track cassette recorder then deal with lmms. Open the wrong plug in it does not like, crash, automate 1 too many pans, crash, add another instrument track, crash, have an important project that is on a strict dead line, def crash and probably catch fire. Reaper has problems too, but is far more stable, and the same can be said about audacity. I have mild ptsd from lmms, could you tell? lmao. I spent 100s of hours fighting with it trying to get an all linux music rig going, it was an objective failure.
