There aren’t really haters on here, but I’m sure some people grade stuff unfairly since the flowjam is based on everyone’s votes, someone could vote poorly on some games and maybe highly on their favorite games. Not entirely sure if grazer has a specific feature or system for this, but from what I heard and stuff there could possibly unfair scores and stuff.
And yes it’s 2:30 Am for me right now and I don’t really have a choice, lol.
I’ve only ever actually tried one of your games, and I don’t even remember where I found it, but it was really cool. I’m pretty sure it was one of your games? Some kind of facility or something and the guards start turning into zombies(?) or something like that. It seemed like it had amazing potential. The only reason I didn’t finish playing it through is because I couldn’t figure out how to open doors with the keys, or how to shoot the guns, so zombies ate my brains.
But literally all that game would have needed to keep me engaged is knowing what I was supposed to do. That doesn’t have to mean giving away the ending, just little notes like “this is a gun, press p to pick it up, press f to fire”. Instead I’m running around picking up guns and yelling “help meeee!” as zombies chase me around the room because apparently all the guns are jammed or something.
It was absolutely not a garbage game, it just needed a few more details added to it. And that is where your education will come in handy, especially if you can land an internship at a gaming company, they’ll teach you those little details that gamers want.
And again, you are still comparing yourself to other young people who got really successful really fast, and that’s not how life works for most people. It’s not like once you turn 20, all of your previously learned skills are going to disappear and it’s too late, all hope is lost. You literally have decades ahead of you to hone your craft. And maybe the first job you take in the field won’t be glamorous. Maybe they’ll just have you looking for bugs, with a rather menial salary. That’s okay, most people start at the bottom. That’s just a starting point. Once you get your foot in the door, it’s usually easier to climb the ladder in that company. Or, if that company isn’t giving you the opportunities you’re looking for, you can take that experience and put it on a resume for another game company (and they’ll be more likely to take you seriously if you already have real world experience with a real company).
Anyway, I’m not typing all of this to “beat” anyone’s word counts LOL… I’m typing it because I don’t think that you should give up on your dream. Worst case scenario… you don’t get to end up making video games for a living. But if you finish school for it, you can use that degree for a ton of other careers, many of which have rather good salaries. Unless you can think of something else that you’d rather do? And if you say music… OMG good luck with that, that industry is even more competitive and cutthroat than the gaming world (but if you truly love it, go for it anyway).
You can have the win. It’s not a competition for me. My only intent is to prevent someone from getting discouraged and giving up on a dream. If either one of us can convince him to keep making games, everybody wins.
I put the controls in the description, and there is a tutorial. There is a small chance of a zombie apocalypse happening every so often, but that’s not the core of the game. More like space monster apocalypse lol.
My mom developed a gluten allergy after not eating it when she went healthy, same is happening to me (I only eat gluten free bread, which includes breads made with egg, they taste so good with bacon on them).
I have I.G.E. allergies that are more severe than anyone else I know. If I touch bread, my entire arms breaks out in hives. If I eat it, I must be hospitalized immediately or I die.
Off topic (i think that’s what this topic is for lol), but I woke up today with hand foot mouth disease, which sucks. I have major rashes on every part of my body.
