Hey guys, my boyfriend is in the path of becoming a video game developer, do you have ideas of what would be a good gift for him? :)

A Professional Software License
ex: IntelliJ, Visual Studio, Etc

@wowotek you said Professionell, so why do you list Visual Studio? 😉

@Sumafu i'm generalizing her as a non dev. Listing VS in a professional software list maybe only going to be make sense to only us.

@wowotek Cool! Thanks :) I will look for that... Still, if you guys have more ideas I’d appreciate it :)

@NickyBones Thanks!!! A beginners course sounds like something he would really like actually 🤔 I’m going to the mall so I will try to find a cool mouse, too :)

Unity asset store gift card

A mechanical keyboard

Gdc passes

You really wanna give him something 🥺 I just saw your Wacom post.

Get him a whip he can flog himself with so he’ll be ready for the lifetime of pain and suffering that awaits him as a game developer. I say that only partially jokingly, working in the video game industry is hell from everything I’ve ever read, games are fun, making games isn’t.

@cursee He is so important! I gave him the Wacom, two courses in Udemy and a portable coffee maker 😍 He loved it!

@codelikeagirl he is very lucky to meet you 😸

@NickyBones unreal is better

A significant other who picks up 3D modeling so they can create sample assets for them ;)

Not kidding. You’ll learn a skill for yourself AND it’s a gift for your BF. Win win.

Or you can buy him the game engine architecture book. I think it was written by the devs at Naughty Dog who are leading experts.
