We recently hit 30,000 subscribers on the YouTube channel, and I thought it could be fun to make a QnA video to answer common game dev and computer science questions! Thank you to all of you for everything!

Over the course of the last 3ish years, I've made mostly game development videos and devlogs. I first got into game dev from all of the devlogs I was getting recommended on YouTube, which made me only want to produce more devlogs!

Before creating game dev content, I mostly focused on tech, computer science, and career advice. And I've loved all of the content I've made so far. Although game development and devlogs are still a big passion for me, I've wanted to potentially expand into other areas outside of just game development and devlogs. Recently I produced a productivity video that did pretty well, which was super awesome to see!

Don't worry, the game dev videos will still be produced, but I want to make more broadly applicable tech type videos as well. If you have video suggestions comment down below!
