Who am I?

Hi Everyone,

My name is Engi and I am currently working as a DevOps engineer at a fortune 500 company. Just a half decent developer who just wants to start making his own games. Wish me luck on this journey and hopefully I stick it out and get to the end.

How to start?

Developing

I guess the first thing I have to do is pick an engin right? So, Unity it is! I think I want to try all of the big ones. Unity, Unreal, and Godot and see where it goes from there.

Music

I play a good amount of guitar and want to try to make a few songs just for games.

Story telling

This will be my first time actually writing and I am very excited to dive into it head first. I love telling stories about my life but I never really tried to create one. Always a player in DnD but never the DM.

What Im doing?

Currently I am going through this course as recommended by a few discords https://www.udemy.com/course/unitycourse/learn/lecture/28701116?start=0#overview.

From here I think im going to finish the course and try to build by first game.

I have a few Ideas.

  1. Imagination - Game about siblings and their wild imaginations. Sticks become swords, jetskis become spaceships, errands become ninja missions, and everything is done before dinner time. (Story game)

  2. Sun Shower - Legend has it that when the suns out and it rains that a Fox is getting married. Barry (the fox) is late for his wedding and needs to pick up all the items needed to get married. Barry needs a tux, a ring, and his groomsmen. Each of these items gives Barry a new ability (deciding that later) Could be a Metroid Vania or a story platformer

So, lets see how this all plays out! I guess im not really looking for fame or fortune but I think this will be a great start for what I want to accomplish.
