Q & A

ゲーム開発を趣味かプロフェッショナルとして行うべきかを決める際、何を考慮すべきですか？

ゲーム開発を趣味かプロフェッショナルとして行うかどうかは、個人の興味、目標、そして生活状況によって決まります。どちらの選択も有効で、お金を稼ぐためにゲームを作る必要はありません。趣味として楽しむことも、プロとして生計を立てることもできます。

プロのゲーム開発者として生活している場合、どのような課題に直面しますか？

プロのゲーム開発者として生活するには、ゲームを販売して収入を得る必要があります。また、ゲームのマーケティングや販売戦略を理解し、競争の激しい市場で成功するためのスキルを身につける必要があります。

ゲームを開発する際に、自然な才能と技術的なスキルはどれくらい重要ですか？

自然な才能は学習プロセスを容易にできる乗数効果をもたらすとされていますが、自然才能がない場合でも、熱意と努力があればゲーム開発のスキルを身につけることができます。

ゲーム開発を学ぶための有料コースや無料チュートリアルの間には、何が違いますか？

有料コースは、学習の便益を提供し、ガイドされた学習パスを提供することで、学習プロセスを容易にします。一方、無料チュートリアルは、同じような情報を提供しますが、学習者自身が情報を集めて整理する必要があります。

ゲーム開発を学ぶ際にお金をかかなければならないのはなぜですか？

ゲーム開発を学ぶためにお金を使う必要はありません。インターネットには無数の無料リソースがあり、それらを活用してゲーム開発のスキルを学ぶことができます。ただし、有料コースを購入することで、より組織化されたカリキュラムやサポートを受けることができます。

Highlights

Making games can be a profession or a hobby, and both are valid choices.

Success in game development is subjective and should be defined by the individual.

The speaker has been a professional indie developer for 10 years, but also has hobbies without monetary goals.

Games with few reviews or sales can still be considered successful if they meet the creator's goals.

Education and internet resources make it possible for anyone to learn game development.

Natural talent can accelerate learning, but it's not a requirement for success in game development.

The story of Rock Lee from Naruto illustrates that hard work can compensate for a lack of natural talent.

The frustration encountered during the learning process is normal and should not be seen as a failure.

Investing in learning or software for a hobby is optional and not a prerequisite for game development.

Free tutorials and courses are available and can provide the same quality of education as paid ones.

The speaker offers free courses and emphasizes that the content is as valuable as paid versions.

The comment argues that making money from game development is difficult and requires exceptional talent.

Learning timelines can vary greatly from person to person, and fixed timelines may not apply to everyone.

Game development requires mastering multiple disciplines, which can be a challenge even for experienced developers.

Financial success in game development is not guaranteed, even with hard work and talent.

The speaker emphasizes that game development can be pursued for enjoyment, not just for financial gain.

Having a regular job and developing games as a hobby is a valid and fulfilling lifestyle choice.

hello and welcome I'm your Cod monkey so

a while ago I made a video talking about

seven Game Dev mistakes that destroy

your games it's an interesting video

talking about seven common mistakes and

in that video there was a comment that

talks about a very important topic that

isn't usually talked about in general it

is on the topic of whether you'd like to

make games as a profession or as a hobby

both options are perfectly valid there's

no right or wrong answer you can make

games to try to make a living from them

but also you can make them just for fun

there's nothing wrong with spending time

or money in something that you do just

for fun personally I can tell you that

I've been making a living as a

professional IND Dev for 10 years now

it's how I pay my rent and all my bills

but I also have hobbies in which I have

absolutely no interest of turning into a

job or making any money it's things that

I do just for fun and personal

satisfaction so let me just very clearly

say you can make games just for fun you

can make games just for personal

enjoyment you can definitely have a

regular 9 to-5 job that pays the bills

and then on the evenings and on the

weekends just build some toys for you to

play with that is always a perfectly

valid option if you look at the team new

release list you can see all of these

games that don't even have 10 reviews

which really means they didn't even sell

something like 100 copies if the only

goal of making games was making money if

so then all of these would be failures

but that is not necessarily the case you

are the only one who defines what

success means to you really just you and

you alone so for all of these perhaps

for some of these people just finishing

a game was their goal and in that case

all of these are successful games and

perhaps for others they just want to

make a game that they themselves wanted

to play May by themselves or with some

friends so in that case even selling

zero copies would still make it a

success so I really just want to very

quickly clarify this success is up to

you to Define it if your goal is to make

a living for your games and that's fine

go ahead and Chase that goal but if your

goal is just make games for fun then

that is also a perfectly valid goal so

go ahead and do that just focus on

enjoying yourself and don't worry about

money like I said my example I've been

Lifting for seven years I've never made

any money from it nor do I intend to I

have no intention of becoming a fitness

influencer like will Tennyson I'm not

trying to become a pro powerlifter like

lir wheels and I'm not trying to become

a pro bodybuilder like Chris bum said

it's really just a hobby it's something

that I do just for enjoyment that's

really the only goal that I defined for

myself for that hobby so just know that

it is perfectly okay to do Game Dev just

for fun but anyways moving on so here is

the comment I removed the name just

because I don't want this video to come

across as some kind of personal attack

that's really not my attention this is

not the first comment that I've seen on

this topic I've seen plenty of comments

that share the same sentiment and this

was just the perfect reason to use for

this video there's a lot to unpack here

about making games as a hobby versus

making as a job as well as the pros and

cons between paying for courses or

learning everything for free and

difference between natural and

learnability and whether it's possible

to learn at all so let's go through this

really interesting comment Point by

point so here the comment starts out by

let me help you guys with specifics that

this video doesn't offer you will never

release a game and make meaningful

amounts of money from it then here is

why so right away this starts off as

seriously negative personally I'm a big

believer in educ UC ation nowadays I

believe you can learn pretty much

anything the internet is a magical place

and if you have a connection to the

internet there's really nothing you

can't learn so I definitely do believe

that anyone can learn how to make a game

when it comes to making money that's

obviously a bit more tricky and I'm

going to talk about that in a little bit

as for the reasons why it says it number

one you lack natural creative and

Technical talent and number two it takes

you too long to learn new things because

of number one again I'm a big believer

in education being able to learn

anything you put your mind to it and

again I'm going to talk about the money

side in a little bit but talking just in

terms of technical skills of course

natural Talent can be a huge Advantage I

believe natural Talent is pretty much a

multiplier it's how things can be super

easy to one person and quite a bit more

difficult for another person growing up

I loved watching Naruto and my favorite

character was Rockley so quick summary

if you haven't seen it basically this

world has ninjas who can do ninja to

it's pretty much magic and some ninjas

like Sasuke they are naturally gifted

and can do impressive things really

easily but then you have Rockley who was

born with no chakra and literally cannot

do ninju but he still wanted to prove

that he could compete with the others so

he focused super hard on just learning

martial arts his whole character is

about hard work and how you can push it

to the max even if you have absolutely

no natural ability and if you do put in

the effort you too can be a top tier

ninja now that's obviously fiction but I

believe that the same concept applies in

the real world yes if you are born with

a natural talent for programming art

design or really whatever if so then

learning something and improving those

skills will come much easier than to

someone else but at the same time I

generally believe that if even without

any natural Talent at all without it if

you really want to learn you can still

learn how to make awesome games I truly

believe that anyone can learn as long as

they have desire to learn anyway so

continuing this comment you won't be

stuck in this endless loop forever the

frustration you feel right now will only

get worse right away the sexually really

strange and again it's not something

just from this comment it's something

that I've seen quite a lot it is strange

this sentiment of how frustration is

essentially a bad thing it how

essentially means that you're doing

something wrong when I see these kinds

of comments I truly wonder do these

people people think that I learn

everything without any frustration

whatsoever do people look at me and

think that I've never been frustrated

trying to learn something if so if

that's how you think that I can tell you

that is not true this kind of

frustration finding errors mistakes and

so on that is all part of the natural

learning process personally I've

definitely felt frustration just like

you I've definitely had code that found

tons of errors and things that took me

quite a while to fix literally just like

anyone who tries to learn anything

finding errors finding problems and

having to go through them that is really

just a perfectly normal part of learning

anything the only trick is simply accept

it and move on meaning don't let that

frustration stop you just accept it as a

normal part of the learning process and

move on continuing Solutions spend no

money on learning or software because

Game Dev will be nothing more than a

hobby for you now in general I

absolutely agree that spending money is

optional although I also disagree with

the premise that spending money on a

hobby is a bad thing I've certainly

spent quite a lot of money on my hobbies

but spending money is definitely an

optional thing it is not a requirement

like I said there's a near infinite

amount of learning content at your

fingertips you absolutely do not need to

spend any money to learn Game Dev I've

made a really interesting video quite a

while ago where I talked about the pros

and cons of paid courses versus free

tutorials and how when you buy a course

you're really mostly just paying for

convenience there's really no secret

knowledge hidden in any paid course that

you can find anywhere else you can learn

Game Dev internally just from free

tutorials or really just by yourself by

TR ER or even from some free courses for

example I have my own course that I made

completely for free and I did make an

optional paid version of that course for

the people who do want to support but

the content is all exactly the same I

did not make the free course

intentionally bad because it's free or

anything it's on the exact same level of

quality as my other paid courses same

thing for all the free tutorials on this

channel every tutorial that I make is

with the highest quality that I can make

with the highest quality code in general

practices just like I do in my seam

games in fact for some recent tutorials

that I did it quite literally contains

the exact same class that I used in my

game dinky Guardians so basically all

this is say that PID course do not have

any special hidden knowledge you're

mostly just paying for convenience since

it's actually easier to follow a guided

path as as opposed to trying to learn

from tons of complete separate tutorials

so courses do have their benefits but

you can absolutely learn everything for

free continue to comment if it wasn't

for course Sellers and hugbox YouTubers

not sure what that means nobody would be

holding your hand telling you what you

want to hear they tell you positive this

and that for one reason to sell you

things so again I definitely do sell

courses courses and affiliate links it's

part of how I make my living without

paid courses this channel would pretty

much not exist just in case you don't

know about YouTube tutorials they really

don't make any money at all a tutorial

can take anywhere from 20 to100 hours to

make and the end result on a decently

sized Channel like mine is something

like 10K views and usually my RPM is

about $2 so 10K views equals just about

20 bucks so that means that based on

YouTube ads Alone YouTube only pays me

about a buck an hour to make materials

even living on a lowcost living country

that is really not enough to live on so

this comment is definitely right in the

sense that I need to sell course in

order to keep this channel Al however

what I certainly don't do is telling

lies about how if you take my courses

you won't be able to become a

professional game developer and make a

living from your games in fact I

constantly talk about how this is an

extremely tough business I've made

several videos on marketing and just how

difficult the whole indie game Market is

so what I do promise is that in my

courses I will teach you how to make

games I will teach you the technical

part about how to write code and build

systems to build a complete game like I

said I truly believe anyone can learn

but I cannot promise that if you take my

course you will sell 10,000 copies and

make a living from your games no one can

really promise you that I just recently

released my n scene Game and with all my

skills with all my experience and how

hard I worked on it even with all of

that I could not guarantee that it would

become a success all my skills all my

effort that really just increase the

odds of finding success but it does not

guarantee it now thankfully it was

successful I did manage to hit my goals

but this is a really tricky business it

could have definitely gone the other way

so if I cannot absolutely guarantee

success in my own games then I certainly

cannot promise that I can teach you how

to make your games be successful I can

teach you what I know and hopefully

increase the odds of you finding success

but I really cannot 100% guarantee it if

someone is promising to to teach you

some kind of secret knowledge to

guarantee that your games make six

figures if so then yes they are really

just saying that in order to sell you

courses and yep that is definitely

absolutely wrong then the comment points

out some timelines so here is a good

godge on how to tell if you have a shred

of talent to create lucrative games that

your players will love so learning C to

intermediate two to three weeks un UI

one week un scripting two weeks and so

on now my only comment on this is

everyone learns in different ways

everyone has a different pace so I

really disagree with these kinds of

fixed timelines going back back to the

whole thing about Talent sure some

people will have a much easier time

learning something but if the end goal

is gaining some knowledge and I feel

that the timeline shouldn't really

matter much if it takes you one month to

learn something that someone else

learned in a week does that really

matter at the end of the day you did

acquire that knowledge so regardless of

how long it took you I would say that is

a huge success and then the final

portion of this comment you are going to

have to learn multiple fullon

professions to make a lucrative game

most people can barely learn to be semi

good at one profession over a period of

5 to 10 years this is why the developers

SL artists that work for game studios

never launch their own games remember it

is a talent and skill arms race the user

expectation in 23 is incredibly High

don't let accidents like gorilla tag

make you think you have hope you don't

so on this yep I do agree that Game Dev

is extremely difficult you need to be

really good in a ton of different areas

in order to make a good game it's really

insane just how many disciplines are

involved in making a good game and how

as a solo Dev you really need to be good

at pretty much all of them it's really a

very unique activity that has some

really intense requirements while also

being really tricky to find success so

game development is definitely very

strange I definitely do agree that it is

very difficult to make a lucrative game

but with all that said now let me

address the main topic contained in this

comment which is really the idea that

Game Dev is only about making money and

nothing else like I said in my reply

making money is not the only reason to

become a gev if you're going to make

money then there's a million other

things you can do that are far easier

just go write some boring Bank software

and you will make a ton more money than

as an indie Dev but if you like making

games then go ahead and make games

regardless of financial

if you're going simply making money then

yeah you're much better off going off

into different Industries you can just

Google jobs for game devs and regular

software engineers and you will very

quickly see how the pay is quite

different not to mention how Game Dev

usually involves T of crunch whereas if

you're writing some general boring Bank

software you can be pretty confident

that you're going to have a stable job

working some like 40 hours a week so yes

if your goal is solely money and nothing

else then definitely my advice is do not

get into Game Dev especially not in the

Game Dev most in the games on scam don't

even make $1,000 however if you like

making games if so then I would say go

ahead and make games regardless of

financial outcome personally I find that

making games is a lot of fun Building

Systems is really fun taking some

mechanic from some game you enjoy and

building it your way personally I find

that to be a lot of fun so you can

absolutely do Game Dev just as a hobby

just for fun you can absolutely have a

regular day job where you make some

decent money and pay for your life and

then on the weekends or on the evenings

you can just work on your games just

like you do on any other hobby that is

100% % a valid way of living your life

personally I love Fitness I love working

out I go to gym every single day and I

spend at least an hour and a half there

however I have absolutely no intention

of turning that into a job or making any

money I have no desire of becoming a pro

bodybuilder like Chris bump said or a

pro powerlifter like light wheels that

is not my goal at all that is not why I

do it I do it simply for fun and for

personal satisfaction I enjoy the

journey of getting a tiny bit better

every single day that's really it I have

no intention of making a single s from

any of the time that I spend the gym and

I certainly don't consider that to be a

waste of time I don't consider it to be

a waste of activity just because doesn't

make me any money again that is not the

goal also there's nothing wrong with

spending money in the hobby if you want

personally I've spent thousands of

dollars on protein and creatine I've

bought all kinds of gym equipment shoes

for running I've bought gloves belts

shirts and so on or really just paying

my gym membership every single month for

over 10 years I spent a lot of money on

this Hobby and I did it gladly I've also

spent thousands of hours watching

Fitness YouTube videos to learn about it

again none of this time was spent with

the intention of making any money same

thing for electronics I've got tons of

arduinos and raspberry pies all over the

place lots of random electronic stuff

that I bought to make some projects just

for fun I've also got a basic 3D printer

that I bought to make a bunch of random

stuff I certainly don't regret any of

the money or time that I spent on any of

these Hobbies they were never intended

to make money just to have fun and get

some enjoyment which I did get so yes

making money from games is extremely

difficult nowadays and yes most people

will fail to make money especially

especially in the devs and especially if

you're not actively trying to find

success it is possible I've done it

myself several times it is extremely

difficult but it is possible so if

that's what you want to do then I would

say definitely go ahead and try doing

that but always remember there's more to

life than money if you want to make

games for fun then just make games for

fun in this there's really no right or

wrong answer you can try making games to

make a profit if that's what you want or

you can make games just for fun just

like you can spend some money or you can

spend no money at all you can do it all

yourself or you can buy some assets and

courses to help you on your hobby on

this topic there are really no wrong

answers you can do whatever you want to

do so hopefully this video serves as a

way for some of you to do some kind of

introspection and ask yourself what do

you really want out of Game Dev what

exactly are your goals if your goal is

to do Game Dev as a hobby then treat it

as a hobby do it just for fun enjoy it

and don't get frustrated with lack of

sales or wish list on the other hand if

you're going is to make this as a job if

so then treat it like you would any

other professional effort meaning take

marketing seriously learn from the pros

and invest time and money just like you

would in any profession importantly is

both are perfectly valid options so just

take some time to figure out what option

you're going for and go do it
