I started to make my game!

in #gaming6 years ago

Steemit is just a side gig for me, most things are. Partially because I am terribly preoccupied with my day job, that is, writing travelling sports articles, and partially because I feel offended by myself if I write in my free time too. The other things fall into this side gig category because of my deteriorating motivation toward everything, with a few exceptions.

Gaming falls into this "meh category" too. For many years I was a huge gamer. Starting from Dune 2000 up to maybe Path of Exile, and I tried myself in game making too on many occasions. Mostly with the RPG maker series, because they don't require coding. You see, I never learnt how to code properly, due to my issue with staying focused for more than a month or two on any subject.

The silver lining is that I am not just lazy, but curious too. If you ask me, that's a steady combination of personal traits.
My curious part pushes me forward to find the easiest way to achieve whatever I have in mind. Striving for simplicity, and efficiency! I feel like the guy who invented the 5-year plan! Anyhoo, this curiosity introduced me to a rather new game developing platform called #Buildbox. It's neat. Very neat indeed! Since I have it, I changed up gaming time, to game making time.

I decided to make a platformer, which is not the most supported genre of this program, but I don't care too much. Here's how my project looks after 2 weeks.

I've learnt a lot about the program and discovered the chummy community behind Buildbox. Yet, on Steemit, I don't see any discussion on game making. So chaps, if you make your own game, or interested in the topic, then show yourselves and show me what you got!

Hey mate. I'm holding a 3 day hardcore race when the new PoE league launches on the 1st of June.
Details in my blog.

Neat! I'll check it out!
