Hey everyone! Figured I would do an AMA to kick off some activity in the IAmA community over here. Feel free to throw down some questions below and ill answer them
I'm currently a student in university and have been doing both web development and game development recently (web for internships, game on my own). Out of the four admins ive been the one mainly handling community creation and managing in the instance to make sure everythings running smoothly
Some other misc topics that I can answer about: I compose music & make pixel art, and my favorite games are minecraft, SCP:SL, everhood, battlerite, and metal slug 3
If anyone else wants to do an AMA feel free to start one up in the community (assuming it fits the instance). Any activity helps get the ball rolling for getting it active
What do you think of this community so far?
What type of game (and engine) are you building?
Thanks for all the work you have been doing!
The community here has been awesome. From the posts and comments ive looked at everyone has been really friendly and ive been really enjoying building up the space cause of it
In terms of game ive been mostly working on some games for game jams recently. The latest one ive worked on was an arcade-type game similar to spy hunter and rally bike for the brackeys jam. The main overarching game ive been working on (very slowly) is a roguelite platformer heavily focused on modifying your weapons (so you can start with a sword and then turn it into a rapid firing dagger that smites enemies using different modifiers on it). I use both unity and godot with unity used for most jam games I do in a team and godot for solo jam games and my personal games
Yeah, this is pretty much my favorite place on the internet right now.
I'm an FFXIV player. I never thought about creating my own game until my son turned 5. I've been using Scratch because he really likes watching me create something specifically for him. I've been toying around the idea of doing a project for my portfolio though.
Thanks for the AMA!
