This is how I started making games with no experience - from flash games as a beginner, to ambitious Unity game dev projects. 12 years of progress, from amateur to full-time indie game developer!

12 years ago I got a license for Adobe Flash CS3, and so my game making journey began... I created pretty terrible flash animations, eventually moving onto games, slowly improving my skills before graduating to Unity. Since then I've made a bunch of projects in Unity, both 2D and 3D - including Lumbermill, my biggest project - an indie management / factory builder game. This video shows my progress over the last 12 years, from total beginner to full-time indie dev. Hope you enjoy!

  • Great video, super cool story! Just wanted to say, in case anyone else gets this feeling, you don't have to start young or early to be good or make games. I started programming when I was at the end of high school (17 or 18) and am now a senior programmer at a AAA game studio. The key is to just get in there and start making things and learn!
  • @tryoxiss
    Funny that when I was younger I unknowingly played games from both names you went by, and now Im watching your youtube videos :)
  • Super proud of your progress Ben. Can't wait to see where you go in the future! Let's make games for the decades to come 🔥

    12 years is a long time, but getting started early really helps. I started coding at 12 years old and loved it every since :)
