Dear game developer,
We get it.
Learning game development is hard. Really damn hard.
You're probably being pulled in a million different directions.
Should I start to learn programming? Should I learn how to draw first?
Watch this tutorial series on YouTube?
What about this one here?
Should I start my dream game project? Or maybe jump into game jams?
Drop $3K/month on a programmer?
* somebody please pull out my eyelashes *
Look, most aspiring game developers don't know where to start.
Mixed in with a scoop of procrastination… And a drizzle of “I’ll start right after I watch one more devlog.”
And sprinkled with endless copy-pasting from tutorials… never actually building something themselves.
You're reading this now because, in some way, shape or form, your game dev isn't where you want it to be.
Or maybe you're doing pretty well, and you simply want more.
More clarity.
More experience.
Whatever it is for you...It all starts with what's below...
