To all people out there wanting to start in video game development or have started and feel like giving up, here is a thread for you from a person who has came from the bottom to having a console shipped title.
Here is my story thread.
There was a point in time where I asked
@corybarlog
a very important question..
Even though it wasn’t the biggest game, I had went from nothing to something and how fast it came caused me to almost stop indefinitely.
Cory responded in a way that was SUPER relatable.
Real life dream come true. To see my name in something that means something to so many people is humbling.
This is why I got into the industry. I hope this game feeds families and creates memories. Go be great.
It’s been an honor yall, genuinely🫡.

So many peoples work being pushed into the light and it’s so dope to see.
Genuinely some of the most talented people I’ve been around that have real life passion.
Incredibly cool moment.
Dear Early Access Fam,
The time has come.... The rest of

joins us at midnight. We ask that you welcome them with open arms, AKA schedule them (at home) Week 1 and beat them as bad as FCS Midwest beat you.
Happy Worldwide Launch,
Your Friends at EA SPORTS College
Ight yall it’s been real.
We a week-ish out now. That means for me, just like recruitment, I’m shutting it down lol Going to go lock in till launch. Tradition for me around these times.
I’ll see yall on the other side 🏆
Shoutout to all the indie devs out there. My goal is to buy more indie games and throw some money their game.
Would love some suggestions?

Lowkey I hope with the bring back of CFB video games, I do hope it brings more folks into game development.
A lot of ex-players feel lost and confused as to what comes next because all they’ve done thier whole life is sports .
I was there back then.
Started this bad boy with some free time last weekend.
My plan is to make a *early* playable multiplayer map based on the beautiful city, Venice.
Late April??

Before I end this, I must thank
@corybarlog
for actually responding to fans and being an inspiration.
@Serellan
for guiding a young kid in the industry.
@tjb_22
my fiancé for literally everything.
@UnrealEngine
for naming me a Unreal Dev Grant
@PlayStation
for being amazing
Note to this.. This is how I actually broke in.
Solo indie dev at the time but during that process I knew I wanted to work in AAA at some point. So while developing, I was making a mental note of what I enjoyed the most during the process.
1/2
Depends on the size of the studio, but if you mean AAA then I have to confess that's a hard transition to make.
Make a portfolio with your single, favorite aspect of gamedev and apply with that as your specialty. List everything else as an additional skill.
Good luck ❤️
Shortly after I started to really dive into unreal engine. While the interface can be incredibly confusing and look like too much. You MUST sit down and take the time to learn it. Game development is all about learning and growing, over and over and over and over again.
I’ve debated about posting this but ya know what.. here is a thread is for all the devs that don’t successfully get funding from a publisher and feel the walls caving in.
Its not spoken enough from a emotions standpoint.
So Let’s talk emotions.

24hr Road To Glory streams is tough lol
Went to sleep, someone was playing as a 3rd string LB for Toledo.
Woke up, turned it back on, bro was a starter at Alabama.
Being a game dev is genuinely a dream job.
Whatever I can do to help more people who look like me and come from where I come from, get into the industry.. I’m all about it.
Taking a break from Rankings Week to bring you the Sights & Sounds Deep Dive

I will conclude this by saying that my DMs are open at anytime to any developer that is having a hard time.
I am here with you and I am you! I was where you once were!
Keep working hard and please do not stop. The mountain top view makes up for the hard journey!
