So, Here we are!
Welcome to my first blog post ever on Gamasutra.
Please bare with me while I work on my blogging and making it interesting for everyone, take note that I am new to this and I really want to like yo u guys to know that I am really loving my school that I am at.
Anyway about school.
I am in 5/6 months now? sounds about right. Well, I can officially say that i have learned so much already. From interaction design to game design from art to coding. We are getting everything in the first year.
Even though I have already had 4 years of Game Developement/Art school. I graduated there in February 2016. But even though that was college and i was supposed to learn alot I kinda didn't learn much from them and I mostly did selfstudies to get better at everything I know now.
For art I worked in Photoshop first but i slowly caved to Adobe Flash/Animate.
Noticing my self getting better at it that way i started animating in Flash for games aswell.
I started creating particles and working my way up that way.
I have coded for whole my life not getting much of it on school since I chose the way of art.
at first i doubted if I had chosen the right path for me.
Art was cool and all but I really wanted to make it work.
After I graduated at college I tried to geet work as an animator but I noticed that I started to lose interest into animation. After that I slightly gave up on it I started programming again.
I coded away on numerous plugins/mods for different games.
But had not inspiration for my own games what so ever.
Fun fact I met my girlfriend at college.
Apart from that I had a stupid job as a job delivery guy and then it started to come to me.
Lets create my own game to get in to Uni.
So there I went, creating my path towards uni for my intake game and there I was.
I got selected to join the kids at the HKU in Utrecht in The Netherlands.
I saw this as the start of something new, something really cool.
But now I am here I am working on a summary for game design and everything I need to finish 2 summaries with around 1.5k words about 50 pages of content and I am working my butt off!
So as of today I will be blogging about alot of stuff what I am working on or stuff I learn or which I find entertaining
I hope you liked my first plog post!
