    Code Monkey deserves all of his success and more. He is invaluable to the game dev community.
  • @MarcV_IndieGameDev
    Code Monkey comes across as a humble, and honest Dev, great role model for everyone in this field. Glad to see someone working hard towards their dreams. Glad I've found yourself here as well, subbed due to yourself having the same attributes! Keep up the awesome work! Tis a tough uphill battle!
  • @user-bf8hv5fc5x
    Much respect for both these studios... aswell as jason weimann, and freya holmer.... they thaught me soo much
  • @butterboy_games
    As someone still in my first year of gamedev, this video was very inspiring! Hopefully I'll be in a similar position in 10 years
  • @sealsharp
    The part around 25:00 about handling errors, debugging etc. is where experience pays off and why it is so useful to train people how to debug and think in diagnostics. Because the worst thing you can do on unstable grounds is build upon it. That then leads to this "i write these 500 lines and it does not work. Why?"-questions.
  • Code Monkey's channel helped me a lot in learning harder concepts about gamedev. I learnt a lot from his channel. Now I am finally publishing my own game on steam soon!
  • @GiantsOnTheHorizon
    So cool that Code Monkey took the time to do this! Thanks Code Monkey!
  • @thelasttellurian
    Two of the most honest and humble devs, and that's not a given today (watch out for people promising you success if you just buy their curse... like some other game dev we all know...). People who enter this and bet their life or parts of it should know how hard work and what it takes to even have a small chance of success.
  • @a_shmiggy
    Thank you for asking and answering the big YouTube channel question. I was wondering about doing devlogs as well. Great content ❤
  • @Lazzarus7
    Great podcast, I love code monkey and his great tutorials. As you I highly recommend his tutorials. I did the turn based one and it was great. He also have free ones even for multiplayer. It is nice to see this type of podcasts among developers, I find it inspiring.
  • @Damian_h
    i feel like Code got the torch from brackeys dude's been unstoppable since then.
  • @ProgramSam
    Awesome man! You should publish these on some podcast platform 😁 would be great to listen to these episodes on the go
  • @FrogKin9
    It looks like almost every solo Game Dev has a background in programming. Is there anyone like me who comes from art and started to learn programming to become a Game Dev? I'd love to see someone like this in a interview with you. I think as an artist, I see many things from a different perspective and therefore I'd love to hear someone talk about those perspectives.
  • @Skeffles
    Great chat! I'm not a unity dev so don't always watch CodeMonkey but his videos are great and watching this really shows how much he cares.
  • @LivanderGamedev
    2 of my fav gamedev are having a podcast, I love this vid 🙌
  • @veronika6879
    CodeMonkey has an incredible channel! I'm so grateful for all the tutorials over the years Also, had no idea what he looked like until now
