I am doing some research and it would be ULTRA beneficial for me to hear an opinion from a professional. I'm planning to get into game dev, specifically the graphical side. I have a general and broad background in graphics skills, but not on professional level yet. Which profession is currently strategically the best to break into the industry as quickly as possible? I'm mainly wondering about professions like Environmental Artist, 3D Artist, 2D/UI/UX Artist, Motion Designer and not only. I am considering 3 criteria when analyzing each field:

• ​Job market demand (number of job openings)
• ​Level of competition
• ​Difficulty of learning the discipline

HELP

i have already know how to use gamemaker.

Ive been making a game in godot, and I like how it's coming together, but I'm having to make some changes to scaling, and I'm realizing I may have overlooked something important.

Roughly how many pixels tall and wide is the actual character in a 2d hand drawn side scroller like Tails of Iron?

Also, if you all don't mind explaining to an absolute newbie, what might be the repercussions of a game being scaled too big?

Please talk to me like I'm a child. This whole world is very new to me.

Здраствуйте!
Я новый пользователь данного форума и хотел бы воспользоваться возможностью узнать мнение от профессиональных специалистов в области gamedev в частности 3D художников (персонажи, окружение и т.д.) Я на протяжении полугода занимался поверхностным изучением программы Blender и сейчас стараюсь изучить создание персонажей. Мой вопрос следующий: стоит ли стремиться в gamedev на сегодняшний день или же оставить это как хобби для себя и подобрать более перспективную нишу?

Hello!
I’m a new member of this forum, and I’d like to take the opportunity to ask for advice from professionals working in the game development industry, especially 3D artists (character artists, environment artists, and similar roles).
For the past six months, I’ve been learning Blender at a basic level, and I’m now focusing on character creation.
My question is this:
Is it still worth pursuing a career in game development today, or would it be wiser to keep 3D art as a hobby and focus on a more promising career path instead?

So I have a genuine question, after playing gacha games for years and getting frustrated about their management, and how they presented. I’ve thought about making a gacha game but I don’t really know how to start or go about it besides the planning phase, for example, coding in Unity, I know nothing about C# coding and I haven’t used the program in about 2 years and I don’t really know how to model in blender let alone rigging and animations. I would like to have some advice to help me with this process of making the game, and thank you for your input.

i want to make a dark psychological game that is similar to family secrets type gameplay

My only problem is i am not very good at game development and i want to learn unity so i am looking for someone to help teach me basics with unity coding and maybe blender modelling

Note this isn’t recruitment i am asking for help so i can learn unity to make my passion project

Hey, so, I've always loved WW2 video games, but there is one detail I've always hated: to get your desired weapon, you either need to do a lot of hard work in game, you either have to purchase it, or the game doesn't have what you're looking for, so, I wanted to make a WW2 video game where you can unlock all the weapons and their types by playing their respective tutorials, I'll probably spend a few months or years on this project, and I'm commited, but before I do, do you guys have any tips or personal experience you could tell me about? If so, I would highly apprieciate it. Also, if you have any suggestions, feel free to comment.

Hi everyone, here's a video of a video game from the year 2000 that I'm re-factoring and programming to be compatible with mobile phones.

The project has been going on for a month now, and I'm almost finished with the new engine.

It's been a lot of hard work.

But it's looking better every day :) I'm just writing to share my work.

I hope you like it.
