For most developers, ideas can come from all sorts of places. You can find them in people, the environment, or even the popular culture of your surroundings. Most of the influences for my games come from popular culture. This mostly includes the games I played when I was younger, but I’ve also taken cues fromContinue reading “Every Influence on Every Game I’ve Developed”

On the day that I begin a new game project, the first step of it all is preparing the engine by importing all of the parts necessary to form the backbone of the entire game. Before a game can enter the development phase, it generally goes through the process of pitching, prototyping, and pre-production. TheContinue reading “The Day a Game Begins Development”

Like a lot of people, I always prefer to work in the daylight instead of the night when I rest. I always like to get up early in the morning so that I can tackle the things that matter to me the most. It’s always game development that’s on my mind during that period, butContinue reading “Productive During Daylight – Why Daylight Matters to Me the Most”

Computers are essentially what’s necessary to get into software development. To me, they are the most expensive piece of equipment that I have invested on. When I built my current workstation that I’ve been using for the past four years, it was over $1,500 from a student loan I had during the autumn 2020 semester.Continue reading “Why It Costs So Much to Buy or Build a Computer for Game Development”

If you’re a computer programmer, mathematics will become a key part of what you do. And so will algebra. This is especially true if you’re creating a video game. When I was in school, mathematics seemed to interest me the most, unlike most other subjects typically taught. Pretty much every aspect taught in all gradeContinue reading “If You’re Gonna Become a Programmer, Math and Algebra are the Key”

For me, every day makes me lazy. As a game developer, it’s tough to focus and not procrastinate. I spend a lot of time goofing off in the evenings, unless something comes up. I don’t rush through my projects, unless if I have to crunch on something. The video game industry can be a fun,Continue reading “Procrastination Even as a CEO”
