just found your channel and so glad I did! you seem super genuine and cant wait to see more of ur vids in UE as a fellow indie dev 😄
-
You're doing a good job at communicating the intention of your videos and staying on topic. Especially the AI series. Its comprehensive and useful... not a combination that is guaranteed to come together.
-
Saw people talking about you on Reddit with so much positive stuff. Keep going forward! Proud of you man.

Nice video. Been learning UE for about 8 months now, your tutorials are awesome and it's nice to hear someone else's journey that is as passionate about this field as I like to think I am. Definitely agree it's not about the finish line but about the journey to get there. Keep up the great work!

Honestly I’ve been watching your videos for like over a week or so now and I enjoy them so much. I feel like you’ve covered so many different topics that I struggled with so much and simplified them and opened up so many more opportunities to use basic things in unreal. Honestly you’re doing amazing!!

You're one of the best Unreal instructors on youtube, I'm following your AI tutorial and I learned a lot. After 10 years working with IT, I also decided to follow my dream of being a game dev. Keep up the good work sir, the game dev community thanks you!

I am a web dev who has had a vision of a game in my head for the last week. I can't stop thinking about it. The mechanics and the stories. I've been writing it down, I'm thinking of making a web prototype of the skill system and the damage system first, so that I have a working, thought out mechanics before I even download an engine. Thing is, it's nothing like anything I've ever seen anywhere. I've been boxing and doing martial arts and power lifting my whole life, and the way games typically handle physical attributes in combat seems very limited. Maybe it's because the reality of game development dictates simplicity, but I'd like to give it a go. Your videos are amazing. You don't make game dev seem hard though. So far I've been able to follow why you do you what you do. You explain things very well. Thanks for the videos.

Thank you Ali for making these tutorials and I am also working on a game of my own, I will share it with you when it is ready. Your tutorials are the best

I've really enjoyed your tutorials! They're in depth, explain this succinctly enough that it's easy to understand, and you go through with information that's really widely applicable! It's great! I think the best thing about it is you explain how it to adapt it to our liking, and show us too! I'd love to see a tutorial or like, critical hit systems + maybe even an elemental type system? Like fire attacks being super effective against nature etc. That would be really helpful and is very current in a lot of games I feel :) Thanks for your content!
-
Unreal engine has been a blessing for me. I love a lot of whats been made on it and it can make individuals make greater steps now
-
Great journey so far! I feel lucky that you have created this channel and i hope you to have continued success!
-
You are very talented at making tutorial videos. It's very comfortable and easy to listen and follow your videos.
-
You are an amazing person, and you deserve all the success in the world. All the best, take care and happy development :)

Ive watched your series and it's been great. Your story was very inspirational. I started game dev a year ago, but as a writer and design lead, where a partner does the art and programming. I dipped into your series maybe 6 months ago, and found Unreal surprisingly fun to work with despite no programming knowledge.
-
You are absolutely the best thing that happened for my Game dev journey, I was completely lost and confused before . And then I found you. Thank You <3
-
Bro you are doing an exceptional work. Keep putting out these videos.

Thanks for sharing your story! Glad you’re sharing from your knowledge.
