People often ask us, "How do I learn game dev?"

If you want to learn game Dev while having loads of fun along the way, choose a classic arcade game, like Space Invaders, and go from there!

It's officially been 4 years since I started development on #LookingInward!!!!
I've made so many friends and worked with so many cool people up to this point ^^
Given that we're currently about halfway through Chapter 3, it's come a long way!

And that's a wrap for 2025. Thank you all for supporting our tutorials. We're happy that our game dev content has helped so many.

We're taking a break for the new year and will be back on the grind soon. Until then, take care and enjoy!

Our final video of 2025 covers object pooling for shooting. Object pooling is a great way to be efficient when shooting large volumes of prefabs.

With The Game Awards over, regardless of the results, it got us thinking—do indie developers get enough exposure and representation?

What would you say is your split between game dev time and playing games?
