Welcome to my humble game dev blog! So, I've struggled over the last few years to come up with coding projects that I could work on in my free time, outside of work, for the purposes of learning and improving my development skills. I would think of an idea, maybe get beyond that phase to actually beginning to work on it, and then I would always eventually lose interest. But one thing that I've kept thinking about is video games. Why not try my hand at learning to make games? Surely that would hold my interest better, right? The problem is that I had convinced myself that it wasn't even worth trying, because what good idea could I come up with?
Well, a couple of months ago I decided why not, I want to give this a try. If anything is going to motivate me to code at home and stick with it, it'll probably be this. So I have finally gotten around to dipping my toes into game development a little bit. And that's what this blog is for. I'm going to use this to document what I'm currently working on and what I've accomplished, as well as anything that I've learned that I think is interesting. I'm starting at pretty much the most basic level and trying to go at it slow so that I don't overwhelm myself and give up again. But that's going to be the focus of my next post: where I'm starting at and what I've accomplished so far, complete with pics and code bits!
