Do you have any information on your current project? Like an official website, Instagram, or even Ich page?
I'd be interested in following your process.
I've beeen working on several projects myself. Well mainly 2. The RC game I've shilled here before, and I'm putting together a smaller mobile boat racing game.
Mainly the boat racing game is for a few reasons.
#1, was to explore mobile development. I've only done PC development beforehand.
#2 was to explore some features Criminal Mischief (RC game) will have, without making the project files a mess. The main feature being opponent AI, because I really don't know jack squat about programming any type of racers. The second feature, was general memory management. How do I let a player choose a vehicle, track, and load that specific scene with the specific vehicle. How do I save that progress (times, unlocks, etc) to the system. It's those features that a lot of developers just forget about. I love gameplay and art too, but there's some more technical stuff that gets forgotten.
I've done scene loading and score saving before, but I honestly forget, it's been so freaking long.
It's all in the name of learning and fun though. If I get this little racing title on the android store, I'll be happy. I don't really care about making money, it's more important to get to the finish line with a complete and published product.
If I get any playable demos I'll share some links on here.
The hardest part for me right now is finding a real well paying job. I just graduated and am striking out everywhere in the game development field. They want senior level experience for junior level positions. It's fucking ridiculous. I've also heard nothing but bad things about developing in the US. Basically we get taken advantage of, but what else is new?
It's so much bullshit, that I've started looking at graphic design and marketing positions (I interned at a marketing firm for a year).
I feel like I'm leeching off of my family, mainly my mom, but I'm too afraid to get a temp job in my home town. What if I get stuck in this dump? I know I'm probably a lazy good for nothing, but it's just those thoughts that run through my head. I don't want to settle on anything outside of what I learned from my degree.
I just want to move to Texas, California, or Washington. Anywhere but here, far away from my deranged family, and dying home town.
Ugh. Life is fucking hard.
