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. I'm still tinkering with the AI art models. all the Necro startup videos: ua-cam.com/play/PLhYmet_wsdVFh2kCT2b1dbEepeL_SOyZk.html
Analyzing My DNA So I Can Blame My Failures on My Genetics
Переглядів 8 тис.2 роки тому
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.

Studying for Machine Learning Engineer Interviews
Переглядів 45 тис.3 роки тому
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!

Keep going bro, youre Will reach greatness for sure
Who else laughed when first seeing my boy? 😂😂
You're so cool because almost didn't blink in the video
What the fuck did he said chat? Chinese Incantations?
His next video: How My Dumb Video Got 1.4M Views
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
Ohp. The software is working, algo just recommended this, Will, you killed it, you made it my g. Or you are currently making it more so. Keep it going. Excited to watch your meteoric rise.
Serious fun here, very likable.
What standing desk did you end up buying? And what was in shortlist?
what website is the best to train a generative ai model?
thanks for the video man. I wish I had discovered your channel earlier but hopefully its not too late
nah bro, since all these games are only good at displaying ads, voodoo isn't a games publisher, they're an ads publisher lol
creep
is this possible to do on a normal laptop? and if not can you tell us how you used AWS?
How to make saas app without coding as a total beginner?? Any step by step detailed video !! If yes, share link please.
as blunt as his eyes stares at me.
This guy casually made the ancestor of VidIQ and thought we wouldn't notice 😂 Great video, would love to collaborate 💪
That is pretty awesome that you got 400,000 downloads.

A dude in suit
Please blink bro...
He is hypnotized me, how did I watch this video until the end without fast forwarding?
Very interesting! You are extremely smart!! The Billie Eilish call-out had me laugh too 😅
Ha ha great video! I was trying to find a way that I could see myself dance too. Ha ha ha.! I have zero dance skills
6:10 did not know I was getting a devlog and a motivational speech 10/10
Great interview guys 👍
Just about anyone can develop a game but very few actually manage to release one. Keep moving forward and I'm sure you'll produce something you'll be very proud of!
I'd like to watch this video, but your way f telling this story is just so boring. Sorry
You took the time to explain everything, thanks man
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.
The Game is Cheating, you have to know the exact pattern after a whilt how to beat a player.
But u told me ur map is bad
I'm curious, how much money do you make from fortnite maps. Like for a 1000 plays, how much do you earn?
What happened to your previous startup?
Bro mogged me the entire video im scared and my life is over
sick vid
super willie is actually a good dancer 😁
As someone that developed Roblox games for a week then spent 2 months making a runtime lua game engine in unity. My experience is that the best platforms aren't ones that have the lowest barrier to entry. I wish you luck in this new paradigm.
Hey, this is Christopher off LinkedIn. I tried to connect with you on there, as I want to ask you something.
Really great video as always 👍
1:30, guys he blinked
damn ,nice one dude
I've rarely seen someone that intelligent. The concept of qualitative casual game is interesting.

Hey I need your help
Please, blink
I watched the first minute and got bored just get to the point already
