Making awesome games on The Steam Deck

Yeah you heard me. I’m going to attempt to build a game straight on the Steam Deck, deploy it to the Steam Deck, play it on the Steam Deck... STEAM DECK!

The Steam Deck runs a game And I write stupid descriptions that nobody reads. Another week another adventure with the #steamdeck . This time I go out on answering the question that probably nobody knew they cared about: Can you build and then run games on the steam deck alone. I start the video by outlining why I want to attempt this, praise the Steam Deck a few times like the fanboy that I am, then get to installing #unity which goes without any issues, quickly #dev a “game“ and map it in the steam library as a third party game on the deck. Restart the deck and sure enough it works like magic. I ramble a bit more about how important this is for current and future generations because it gives them a fully unlocked system to tinker with and end on asking you to comment if you want a full-length tutorial on how to actually do this thing then. Thanks for reading. Pace✌️
