Last one is probably my personal favorite 🙌😉 “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.” — Lao Tzu Game development is not easy, but with great creators like these it makes it much easier. And that's also why I love this industry so much. Looking back at my own journey, it were creators like these who helped me an awful lot! Especially creators like ThinMatrix, The Cherno, Sebastian Lague, Games from Scratch and many more (unfortunately some not being active anymore..). It's because of these people, sharing their knowledge for free, making many journeys possible. So, they deserve all the credit and appraisal. 😇 It's also because of these people I am doing what I do for years as well. Trying to share my enthusiasm for programming and making games. Sharing my journey. And hopefully helping some of you. And I am very much looking forward to continue doing so in the next year to come. 🙌 Stay tuned! 🤩 If the video was too fast for some of you, here the complete list of creators I shared in this video: ThinMatrix - Javidx9 - Sebastian Lague - Thomas Brush - Sunny Valley Studios - Smart Poly - Freya Holmer - Acerola - Pezzza's work - Zyger - Speed Tutor - Aarimous - Gamedev tv - Code Monkey - Unreal University - The Cherno And there are many more amazing creators. So feel free to share your favorites in the comments for others to know! 😇🙌 - - - - - - - - Besides that, I also like to share that these creators are true knowledge treasures, but practising yourself is what matters the most. Keep creating and try to make things on your own as well. That's the best way to get out of tutorial hell. 🫶 Happy coding everyone! 👨‍💻 Follow me for more programming and game development content! 👨‍💻🎮 ~@justinbieshaar . . 🏷️ #gamedev #gamedevelopment #gamesindustry #programming #indiegamedev
