I Spent 6 Weeks Making a Fortnite Map
I'm all-in on indie gamedev and building tools for game developers. In this video, I explain why I chose to launch a Fortnite map as my first game in 8 years, go over my 6-week design and development process for Guard Commander (without getting too technical), show off the trailer and gameplay, share my key learnings/analytics, and give some life updates :D
You can play Guard Commander for free from the Fortnite client (map code 4584-1200-8195, www.fortnite.com/@necrogames/4584-1200-8195), but it's a 1v1 map and you might need to queue up with a friend if there aren't any other players online in your region. The map is being continuosly updated and I plan on adding a single-player mode.

I'm a serial entrepreneur and indie game developer. Currently working at Google a software engineer while I figure out my next startup. My Unity plugin was rejected by the Asset Store for an unknown reason but that's OK, it was just a prototype.

Analyzing My DNA So I Can Blame My Failures on My Genetics

Biology is useful and I’m a programmer so I started working in bioinformatics a few months ago. This was a small project to calculate my genetic predisposition to various diseases and conditions. It’s similar to the analysis that DNA testing companies like 23andMe, Nebula Genomics, etc. offer, but I did it myself to learn how it works and explore free GWAS data.

My recent AI project videos have been taking really long to make, especially now that I’m getting better at machine learning and my ideas are more ambitious. Instead of only uploading once every couple months, I thought it would be fun to start vlogging again. Today I’m prepping for a machine learning engineer interview at TikTok/ByteDance. Let's be productive together!

    There seems to be a common mindset among software developers of chasing shiny and popular new trends in social media, or in general to create a digital product that will extract as much money as possible from consumers Logically this makes sense from a user / product demand point of view but its also a little depressing realizing software development ultimately boils down to selling popular digital products to consumer mass markets in an infinite everlasting grind

    I first started watching you when I was 15, no idea how I discovered your channel but at the time I wanted to just get started coding. Since then I watched almost all of your videos up until you went the AI route (and I didnt stop watching cos I didnt like the videos, I guess I just strayed off a lot of coding related stuff on youtube). Fast forward and now I'm 21, just finished by comp sci degree and have 2 yrs under my belt as a web dev. Seeing your journey has always been interesting, I hope you keep uploading man. I never really write comments like this, just interesting to see what you've gotten up to over the years.

    Wow, great video, good to see what you're up to. So many things in this video I relate to and funny enough I was contemplating making Fortnite maps recently as well, but haven't pushed the button yet. Also always thought I needed a cofounder but it seems impossible to somehow find one randomly. Best of luck and I'm sure you will succeed.
