Dev Diary: Game Dev -Day 1

November 29, 2023

Last Saturday, I found probably the best online training program I have ever seen. It is so well put together and informative. This was, of course, the Unity Learn Programs! (Not Sponsored, Obviously!)

Unity is a real-time engine (or a game engine for game makers). And is a piece to game making that has had me overwhelmed up until now. It's so big and open that I didn't know where to even start with learning. I have seen courses for beginners listed on other learning platforms, but I hadn't personally found any that I jived with.

Unity Learn is their very own learning platform and has the best online learning experience I have ever seen! I started Dev Diary back in May when I was learning on LinkedIn Learning. It was a bit of a mess. This one has none of the chaos of the previous experience. Everything was streamlined and in order.

The only real issues I've had, were my own misunderstandings and fixed when I calmed myself down. 😅😂

I finished the Unity Essentials and now I'm working toward both Creative Core and Junior Programmer. They have so many after these that I want to take as well.

Today I'm starting to learn about Shaders and Materials in game dev and I'm excited. I don't get to do too much as my "misunderstandings" today did cost me a couple of hours. I took a shower and then everything worked... the human mind is weird.

Each of the courses that I'm in now have around 45-50 hours in them. As I don't currently have any other major obligations, I'm planning on going for about 3-4 weeks total, but I'm not being too strict with it.

Last time I overwhelmed myself with how much I took on. This time I'm allowing myself a bit of a cushion to get them done as it isn't timed by the month as LinkedIn Learning was.

Oh, did I mention that Unity Learn is 100% Free!!!

My Plan (so far anyway)

Weeks 1-2:

Learning Unity and getting lots of experience making little things

C# and the basics of coding in Unity

Weeks 3-4:

Design my own Game (I am determined to start small! 😋)

Practicing building smaller sections of my game...aka, the ugly stage

Finishing any training left

Tomorrow will be working on Shaders and Materials and maybe some of the beginners lessons for Junior Programming. I do have appointments tomorrow, so its just gonna be whatever I get done. 🥰

I have been looking for these course what feels like an eternity (roughly 1 year) and I'm so excited to see how quickly it all starts coming together!!!

Let's Make Games!!!

Finished the Unity Essentials Pathway and was even able to add it directly to my LinkedIn profile!

I feel much more at ease in Unity and can't wait for the other courses!!!

Game Dev/Design Free Courses!!!!

I have been looking for courses that help guide through the beginning stages of actually building a game in an Engine.

A Random tiktok video showed me Unity Learn, this isn't sponsored (obv) but it has been so helpful. I already feel more at ease inside Unity and I have barely started the courses.

It's also 100% free!!!

It shows you every piece of info, down to downloading Unity itself and all of the other things you need!

Truly so helpful!

Unity is also used for more than just Game Dev, it's used in Architecture, Automotive design and many others. Highly recommend checking it out if you are interested!

One-Page Masterlist

안녕하세요! Hey everyone! I recently got an ask about my old masterlist, which is the same as my broken-down masterlist except it has all of my lessons on one page, rather than on multiple separate posts. Some may find this expanded version easier to navigate, so I’ll keep this up for y’all! My broken-up masterlist, of course, will still be available for those who find that more helpful :)

Relax and Self Care Challenge!!!

Read for an hour every day!!

That’s it! That’s my whole chillax challenge today and I almost didn’t make it!

It’s been a struggle lately to relax and just chill. I cannot do much else at the moment but it’s still a struggle to allow myself to do it.

Example:

In order to read or eat today I had to clean my space and finish all dishes!

Is that bad?

No, just teaching me what I really need to relax. I now know that I really don’t relax well with my room in disorder and dishes piled up.

I know that common knowledge, my mom has told me for years, I just don’t like to listen to things and insist on figuring it out first hand.

I even wore my spooky Halloween shirt! It says “You Do You Boo!” With a cute little ghost!!!

Today has been a learning experience for sure.

It’s the though that counts though lol 🥰😜

If you don't use cozy hobbies yet to unwind and cope: Get with the program. Start drawing or journaling or reading or playing cozy games on a handheld. Learn how to crochet or knit or do puzzles or get into making teas or pastries. Coziness is the best thing in my life and I can never go back. I highly highly recommend.

This isn’t a sponsored post or anything, I just know that a lot of the people I’ve connected with on here would love to have in person connections too.

If anyone has already read this I would love to hear what you thought about it.
