Learning To Become a Game Developer

Learning to become a Game Developer is really fun, but it’s not the easiest thing to learn if you’re unsure on how to use a game engine and the Coding language that is used.

Everyone has a different learning style and learns at a different pace; on this page I’ve provided some different options:

Learning by Documentation
Learning by YouTube Tutorials
Learning by specialised course

Try each to see which one works best for you. Personally, I started using YouTube tutorials, there are some great videos out there from some really good creators; but for me I just kept running into the one big problem… getting stuck.

No one likes this and it’s frustrating when you’ve watched a video, followed it to the letter and it still doesn’t work; you find yourself wasting time searching comments or other videos trying to figure out what went wrong or trying to figure out what to do next.
