 Hey, what's up everybody? So it's been quite a while since I've made a video. I've got lots of new subscribers since then. Finally crossed that thousand subscriber threshold. So thanks so much to everybody that's new and hopefully you'll enjoy some of the new stuff I've got coming pretty soon. So I think when I last left off I was working on some game dev. I was creating a new game in Unreal Engine and I made a lot of progress, created the inventory system, created mapping, all of this other stuff, a quest system and really enjoyed doing all of that and then I got to the point of what is this game, what does it actually do? And I realized that I really wasn't very good at that and I didn't really have any great ideas and the gameplay really wasn't fun so I really kind of came to the realization that my game sucked and that it wasn't very fun to work on anymore, that I had done all of the fun stuff that I wanted to do, build all of the back end mechanisms to make the game work. So I don't know, I struggled with that for quite a while. I didn't want to make just another shooting game where you were trying to shoot something or just another Minecraft type of crafting game. To be honest, I don't play a lot of games so probably I'm a terrible person to try to design a game but I sure had a lot of fun learning C++ in Unreal Engine and creating these back end systems but it's time to move on because so what am I going to do with that? I'm going to take the pieces that I had for that and the little bit of story that I had and evolve on that and create some short films and kind of build that world and still using some of the same assets and the set building pieces that I enjoyed about making the game. I'm just going to turn that into short film type stuff. So make sure you subscribe if you like that type of stuff. A lot more of that is coming to this channel very soon. Speaking of Unreal Engine, I've got a few more videos on the pipeline working with virtual production. I've got my green screen set up. I've got a couple of people lined up that I'm going to try to start filming, do some photo scanning and start working on some of these short films some more. So I guess the biggest news of all is some changes to the channel that I am pretty convinced I should make. I've kind of struggled with content in the past because all of the things that I make videos about are things that I'm just learning as I go and I don't really talk about things that I am actually good at and that I know very much. So that's going to change. I've decided that I'm going to start making some more content based around my programming job and some of the more DevOps and platform engineering things that I'm into currently. I think that that could be beneficial to the community. People learn more about that and I've got lots of experience doing these types of things and that's something I plan to start sharing. So I'm still going to be doing the Unreal Engine short film stuff so you don't have to unsubscribe if you don't want to see that. I'm going to try to make it about half and half but hopefully we'll also kind of build a subscriber base with some of the technical stuff that I'm going to enjoy making some videos about. So anyway, that was a quick wrap up. I just wanted to give an update and kind of get this video out there, rip the Band-Aid off so to speak of not making a video for a while. It's always kind of hard to get started again but I've got a big list of videos that I want to make so I'm just going to throw this one out there and move on with the next one. Thanks for watching.
