Talking To Code Monkey About Game Dev

July 17, 2026 · 1 h 17 min

Show notes

In this episode of About Game Dev, I sit down with Code Monkey — one of the most well-known Unity educators on YouTube.

Hugo has helped countless developers learn Unity through his extensive library of tutorials and courses, but he's also spent years making and releasing his own commercial games on Steam.

As two developers who spend a lot of time teaching online, we discuss the trade-offs between spending months working on a game versus consistently producing content, the realities of making a living independently, and how to set realistic goals when trying to build a sustainable career in games.
