Hello fellow coders, designers, artists and gamers,
as a gamer, I have always been fascinated by the people that spent so much work, thought and blood in creating the games I enjoyed for many hours each week.
Since I started gaming, I wanted to do this too. I wanted to spent my time creating games. I got into programming, mostly web development, but I never really pursuit this dream.
A month ago, I reduced my job to half time to start a second half time job as software developer. I have been learning so much since then and I really appreciate that my company opens that oportunity to me.
Said company is a web development agency specialized in e-commerce, which is really handy for me as this field interests me the most in webdev.
So earlier this week, I got notice of a new humblebundle comming out which contains game assets (there were a few before I think, which I missed). For those of you who dont know humblebundle.com, they bundle up games, books or other software and let you pay what you want (mostly), with the cash going to charity (you can customize who gets how much). They are really great in what they do!
So I bought this bundle, downloaded Godot, looked for a tutorial on youtube and just started building!
Why I went with Godot? Its open source, which I really like. Its programmend in its own language GDScript, which is similar to Python. Due to it being open source, its stays free for you, no matter how big your game gets (thats not the case with unity and unreal)
So this is what I came up with in the last 3 hours.
I have no idea and no concept for this yet. Guess I will just see where this takes me.
Code on!

And you've already achieved that in just 3 hours? Wow.
I used to want to develop games, but I ended up going in a different direction.
That makes me want to get the software as well... But no, I have to focus on my studies!
I'm curious how your game will develop further.
I got to say that nothing was drawn by myself. Im not good at art, but luckly for me other people are.
I am more the coder.
Yesterday I have onboarded a friend to the project. He is now writing the story for this.
Yea, for me it was and still is a dream too. What are you studying?
I might just post updates here. Currently there is no PR of course.
To tackle such a project together with a friend is a great thing. I hope you are patient and hold out until the first successes come!
I study law 😶
