Homeless Game Development
228Rent in Australia is insane so I moved my PC into a van. It's a basic setup (bed, solar system, makeshift desk) but everything I need to survive my day-to-day. In this video I show you how I survive while I'm out on the road -- how I cook, power and charge my gear, transport my PC safely, how I handle data/wifi, where I work etc. We also do some VR frolicking in the Australian bush.
What do you think of this style of video? Longer form documentary style. Would love to hear your feedback.
As mentioned in the video, I've also got some "Blueprint Fundamentals" Unreal Engine technical content coming soon, so stay tuned.
Enjoy!

//// About this channel ////
Jackson is an Australian ex-chemist and extreme sports athlete turned game developer. This channel is dedicated to providing practical Unreal Engine blueprint tutorials for indie devs who want to make their visions for games a reality.
On this channel we also discuss softer (and sometimes slightly esoteric) concepts related to game development such as productivity, creativity, motivation, business, networking, collaborating with others, etc.
To connect deeper with Jackson and the community please join the Discord server (linked above) and write an introduction. There you can feel free to share what you’re working on, where you need help, and the team can help connect you with the resources and people you might be looking for.
Welcome ☺ ️
//// Are you a producer, publisher, or marketing expert? ////
I am looking for somebody to help me distribute my team’s games to players who would enjoy them. We can make them, and we want you to sell them! If you are interested in a partnership, please write to me on Discord.
