Deepak Nair is one of the only people in the world who has worked inside Roblox, Epic Games (Fortnite Creative), and Meta Horizon Worlds. In this episode, he shares what he learned from all three ecosystems and holds nothing back.

We get into what platforms actually prioritize vs. what they tell creators, why most developer feedback never turns into real change, the habits that separate creators who last from creators who burn out, how solo devs can outperform big studios, and why building your own community outside the platform is no longer optional.

Deepak also breaks down the real timeline to becoming a top developer (it took roughly 8 years on Roblox), why copying games keeps you behind, and what healthy communication between platforms and creators actually looks like.

If you're building games on any UGC platform or thinking about getting started, this is one of the most honest conversations you'll hear about how the industry really works.
