In this post I will maintain a list of my favorite content creators, with links and a brief summary of their focus on their channels. I think it’s a great use of time to watch some of their videos for inspiration, as well as entry-points into topics of interest.
Unity development
Sebastian Lague (my favorite by a large margin)
General topics in game development, all produced with the Unity Engine.
General Development
SimonDev
A mix of techniques for certain features, optimizations, and explanation of some CS concepts.
One Lone Coder
A variety of deep dives into topics such as graphics programming and procedural generation, presented in a very educational manner.
Vercidium
A handful of videos about optimizations and game engines.
Unreal Engine Infrastructure
Alex Forsythe
Although he only has a couple videos, he has probably the most informative videos on the internet about how Unreal is structured. However, I don’t understand it very well.
Hazel Game Engine
TheCherno
Videos about his own game engine called “Hazel”. Also has general game development topics.
Pixel art
Aarthificial
General game development, with an emphasis on 2D pixel art.
