In the movie did you see a Nigerian?

Many didn't believe that taping on screen would pay, not until nottcoiin paid and tappswapp took over, the whole world is going crazy tapping on their screen all day for coins.


This doesn't seem to make sense, but this viral stuff has been predicted before.


If you have watched the movie "Kingsman service" you will argee with me.

Free money was shared globally for tapping screen and downloading free app for free internet and all those stuff.


It became so viral that everyone, even grandma would send you referrral linkss to join.

What later happened?


They later sent something through the apps and made everyone violent, killing each other.


From the movie, this free coins is dangerous o.

It's a tool of population control.

Just as they did with coveed 419 and drastically reduced world population, they are back again o.


Don't tap o.

Watch the movie Kingsman service to understand better.

Developing any AA game can get pretty expensive. Let me highlight some things you should take note of to develop a football game or any other top game:

1) You will require a license to use the real names of footballers, clubs and stadiums which is damn expensive. When dream league was launched for the first time, they didn't use real names of football clubs and players due to the license required.

2) You will need a skilled work force. I'm talking about 3D modellers, programmers, markerters etc. You may not be able to build a full fledge football game all by yourself. Even if you are a skilled 3D modeller, you will get exhausted quickly except you intend to spend 25 years building a single game alone. Now you understand why there are only 2 major football games in the world: PES and EA FIFA. E no easy at all.

3) High graphics 3D games require detailed 3D models which will cost you money. For a football game, you realize that each club has up to 22 players, and each league has between 16 - 20 clubs. You may also need to model at least 10 stadiums, referees, coaches etc. You can either spend months upon months modelling these models yourself or assemble a team of designers to model them and you have to pay them per hour or you can buy some of the models which can be cheaper than paying salaries but, you may not get the exact model design you want and it's difficult to get detailed and quality models for free.

3) You need a powerful computer with high-end dedicated graphics cards to work efficiently. If you are working with Unreal Engine, you will surely require a very powerful graphics card to render the kind of game you are planing to build. GPUs can be very expensive to purchase.

4) You need to learn how to program in C# if you intend to use Unity 3D game engine or learn C++ if you intend to use the more powerful Unreal Engine. Games like PES and PUBG were built with Unreal Engine and you need to learn Unreal Engine blueprints and C++ programing language to build your game using it.

I would advice you start by buying a gaming laptop and start learning how to build a small game just to get familiar with the game development process. Learn how to model with Blender (free) or Maya (paid), Cinema 4D (paid) etc. Learn how to use a game engine. The most popular game engines are Unity 3D and Unreal Engine. Unreal Engine tends to pull more computer power though but games created with Unreal Engine are usually very realistic. Infact some designers recently used Unreal Engine for hyper realistic movie creation, that's how good Unreal Engine has gotten.

Get familiar with C# and C++ programming languages. You can find tutorials on YouTube and Udemy.

Notice I did not cover marketing and creativity and the issue of if your game will even be accepted by the public. These issues should be left for another day.

You claim to be creative but your first concept for a 3d game is soccer?

Same way when men see women and start fantasizing about her is the same way when women see men and start fantasizing about him too until men changed the whole thing.

In as much as men are naturally leaders and providers. When it comes to sex, Women crave for sex more than men. The issue with many men is they can't control their testosterone or channel it into other activities unlike women who eases out the urges themselves from time to time. Some men would say they don't like easing themselves. Women are the great masturbators.

Societies created this illusion of women craving for a man's pocket and men exchanging money for sex.

Unity01:
Hi... first off, I'm happy to see someone else having interest in game development... I make mobile games using Unity game engine and I'd love to contribute to your post.

Here's what you'll need:
For the PC you'll use, trust me you may not necessarily need an overkill to start. I started with a Core i3 and 4GB ram (that was by 2019). Although it handled the tasks I needed, I find the recent versions of Unity more demanding. I currently use a Lenovo Thinkpad T480 core i5 8th gen, 12GB ram and 256 SSD....8GB would do fine too. Also prioritize a SSD and a higher generation processor. I run Unity 2022 with this very smoothly...

I mainly make mobile games, specifically in the Hypercasual/Hybridcasual genre (I really recommend you make research on this niche). Why I recommend this genre is that the games you'd be making are simple, short and specific....your main focus would be on gameplay mechanics design and implementation which would really open you up to various coding techniques and other procedures you'll be learning while making games as a beginner. Also, the game development process won't be tasking on your PC as you won't be using heavy graphics and assets (but you can also do this if you want to, no harm here)....and the best part is that the project lifecycle would be shorter compared to games from other genres, which is very very suitable for beginners to learn faster and also essential for a solo developer....the idea is, instead of spending months making one big game, you spend the same time making many many small games...

The Hypercasual market is also large, and has a wider range of audience....but for the marketing and monetization aspect you'd need to also research on that... Basically you can use in game ads to monetize your games (I use unity ads, it's beginner friendly and they also have good customer support) but I'm also planning on using Google admob in future....for user acquisition, you'll need to learn about "App Store Optimization (ASO)"...Then later as you progress and make more marketable games, you can run ad campaigns...
Start small though, you might not need to worry about the marketing aspect for now....

Your first focus should be learning the foundations....how it works, the logic, the programming, etc.

You can choose any game engine you want. I use Unity3D.... although Godot has been gaining a lot of popularity lately. There's also the industry giant (Unreal Engine)...but it's kinda and overkill for simple mobile games... mainly use for AAA games and also... it's super heavy on the computer compared to the other two. Unity is flexible too, you can build a single project for multiple platforms, it uses C# (don't let this scare you, it's really easy to grap)...and it has a large market place you can get assets for free or paid.

Use Visual Studio Code (not Visual Studio) to write your codes.... Visual Studio would be more appropriate especially for a beginner but running it along side unity ears RAM like crazy. Visual Studio Code is lighter.

Start with Brackeys tutorials...search him on YouTube and you'll see his videos.. there's one playlist he taught how to make a game for beginners... it's a cube dodging game like that, simple but you would have covered a lot of the foundations by making that one game.

There's still more to say but that should do for a start


Oh I forgot to add...you might not make any reasonable earnings for a long time. Like years, so you'll need to be patient with the process.

I am not here to disCourage you but hope you understand the Game ecoSystem and how the business goes. It's much easier working for a game studio, as frrlance Game Dev, vs working as solo Game dev.

Hopefully you've got other sources of inCome to suppliment. Not asking you don't try BUT just be aware and make your findings. Guess there are communities & fora where you could get projects or join existing ones.

If you already were a Senior dev with a wealth of experience, would have said your chances of success would be high but...

Also games such as Dream League soccer, PES, FiFA, etc weren't only built by non-Solo-Devs but also weren't built with cheap Game Engines. From my developer experience, the closer you are to the metal, the better THAN having layers in-between.

If I were in your shoes, would suggest you first work for a couple years in a Game company. That way you earn [some] experience(s) with how game development and business works & operates in real world, and the lots of pitfalls which can cause game projects fail.
Alternatively, don't quit your current sources of inCome, just start the Game business as partTime.

Advantage of working in a Game Studio/Company is more like a Musician who is signed to a Music label WHILE Solo Game Dev is like a Musician who handles everything himSelf.

As a solo Game Dev, except you've got unique ideas, and will to execute them + super marketing. You alone are the developer, salesmen, artist, and business man all at same time. You end up competing with those better positioned e.g PES, dreamLeague, etc.

dreamxhaser:
Sorry for the late reply, I was very busy of late.

Thank you so much for the insight. Though we are close friends from secondary school and all that, I will religiously look into your advice.

But can you please explain a little better why you advise that? *just asking politely* as I am very interested in this😊
