How to Actually Start Making Money as a Game Developer

from The Game Creator Accelerator

Getting into game development isn't about finding the fastest path. It's about making sure the time you're investing is actually taking you in the right direction. In this video, I talk about what it really takes to start building a career in the gaming industry, why focusing only on getting hired can put you in the wrong mindset, and why creating meaningful projects and sharing your progress can create opportunities over time. I also share some lessons from my own journey, including mistakes I made early in my career, why I chose Unreal, and how consistently building and sharing my work helped me create more opportunities and independence. If you're trying to figure out how to turn your passion for game development into a real career, this video is for you. Watch the full video and let me know what you think.
