//// 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 ☺ ️

//// Looking for help with game distribution and community building ////

I am looking for somebody to help me distribute my team’s games to players who would enjoy them. If you are interested in a partnership please write to me on Discord.
