  GAME DEV DIARIES

 Season 1 Episode 1
 TITLE: And I thought doing dishes was hard enough

 Washing the dishes is so straight forward, no thinking at at all. Just scrub rinse and repeat. And yet, I keep acting like

it's the most difficult thing I do in a day. Anyway, who likes doing the dishes in the first place? Rather just go do what

I love doing am I right?

 

 Every time I sit down looking at my laptop just waiting for Unity 3D to open so I can get to work, which often takes a whole

episode of Simpsons I often think about this crazy list of things I have to do

 -Make the game

 -Make a website

 -Start working online

 -(Though this kind of sucks) Deal with Online classes

 -Get a better PC

 -Get other equipment for Game Dev

 On a realistic note I have a lot to do than how small the list is. I'm just a beginner and one mistake I will make in this

situation is bombarding myself with necessary information at the wrong time. Seeing my situation is rather silly for 

starting such a journey(Why Game Development was my choice, I will never understand), doing the dishes is much easier than

all this kick boxing I get every time I sit down on my PC

 Oh look! It's finally opened. I see my work. 5 levels I have to finish in a month. I just wish I could make all this with

a simple snap of my fingers and *bling* Game is done but nope, It's much more tiring. I have to be an architect, get the 

structures right and measure the right measurements. A geographer cause there's no way lava and wood are best friends (Unless

you're doing a magical game. Or any game, it's as real as you want it to be). Sound and music, graphics, User Interface and

so many other duties which require you to change your hat a number of times, And I've only mentioned Game Dev.

 I had to break a tonne of rules to get this far. But cautious of the consequences to come. Yeah, I'm talking about the rules

to follow as an Indie Game Developer. But if I followed the rules to the letter, I wouldn't ignore the most important rule,

"Just Do It!"

 I started and the work keeps getting harder and harder with each and every single day that comes. It's been 6 months since

I started Game Dev, but it feels like years. That's how much I gotten into and now I need to pickup a skill to support

myself. Should I blogging, copywriting ghostwriting, graphic design, transcribing... I wish I can do them all, it's so hard

to pick one. I haven't mentioned school, have I? Sigh...

 

 Doing the dishes is much easier. Just scrub, Rinse and repeat. But then again Washing the dishes didn't make me say

"Growing up is fun cause it sucks." lol. Welcome to my twisted thoughts as I follow my passions. Today I just finished

recreating forest levels of the game Mighty Maze. Took me a total of 10 hours to complete.
