    HOT! RANT 
    Yeah, I started looking into Godot and a couple others. I have some tutorials I'll go through this weekend possibly. Thanks!

    Unity Game Engine just exercised their power of control that would destroy Indie Game Scene

    HOT! RANT 
    I interviewed with Unity in 2018. Glad I didn't get the job. What a clown-world of a company it turned into. I'm down. Anyone know the Assembly (ASM) and C programming languages and rendering? :happy:

    Unity Game Engine just exercised their power of control that would destroy Indie Game Scene

    HOT! RANT 
    Yes, I'm solo game developer and been learning Unity and the C# programming language for years. I was preparing to make my entrepreneurial leap next year. You need an engine to build any modern game because it's too complex to build a custom powerful multi-purpose engine that compile for...

    Unity Game Engine just exercised their power of control that would destroy Indie Game Scene

    HOT! RANT 
    Game developers who have been using the Unity Game Engine for years may have to look into learning alternatives because we hitched a ride with someone who cannot be trusted. MJ's books of course warns about this, but its hard to avoid in game software since building your own game engine is an...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Exactly 100% agree. That's something I'm continuing to work on. I have a few Google docs and Trello boards started with everything that needs to be done, goals, and even down to forming the LLC in my state. I'll continue fleshing it out. Thanks for the tips, I'll take heed.

    Got the Golden Handcuffs and Can't Get Free...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Well, I'm not advocating people jumping without a plan. "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." What I'm saying is the time will come when a decision needs to be made or you will die waiting as too much time has passed. Personally, I have a very very large savings that I continue to pad for...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I'm in the same spot. The paycheck is "instant amnesia" as MJ puts it. The day is coming where you and I have to make a choice though. Remember the corporate job may in some cases be less safe than entrepreneurship. The company I work for had multiple layoffs. I survived, for now. Tired of...

    Game development - a risky Specialised-Unit?

    EXECUTION 
    Another big key to success is marketing. If you don't know how to market the game it will get buried within it's respective category on any app store. It's unlikely to go viral on its own, so it will need some pushing. Look at where trends are going and make games that people want to play...

    Game development - a risky Specialised-Unit?

    EXECUTION 
    I work in the game industry as my full-time job. Why would you gather playtest feedback to not dive in and act on it? Find a job (non-game related) and so you're not under a PIIA agreement (like myself) and continue developing it. That way you're not burning all your savings away in the...

    I Created A Videogame Based On The UNSCRIPTED Book [Fan Project]

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I wouldn't ask him. It's being worked on as an appreciation to his material, development practice and for the forum in general. It's only planned to be only a single full level of gameplay. There's still a ton of work that needs to be done in art, design and lots more code to write. I have a...

    I Created A Videogame Based On The UNSCRIPTED Book [Fan Project]

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I was planning to get a few folks from the forum in by mention. The opening cinematic is not done, but the goal is to have MJ speak to the player on that giant screen you see. He will tell the user they were free from the chair by remote hacking. The shackles will unlock. Before that point a...

    I Created A Videogame Based On The UNSCRIPTED Book [Fan Project]

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Agreed. This is simply a fan project and a way to practice my dev and art skills which is why I made sure to label it [Fan Project] in the thread title. It's nothing more than fan-fiction. Similar to Star Wars fan stuff. It's NOT intended as something to be sold or take from MJ. I don't...

    I Created A Videogame Based On The UNSCRIPTED Book [Fan Project]

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    A few weeks ago I thought it would be fun to see what an 'Unscripted' video game would be like, created in a retro style. I wanted to take some of the concepts from the book and make them really literal within the context of a game. I've been working on this for a little each day and now have...
