"Hello world!", as the usual tutorials go.

Three months ago I have decided to change my life and continue developing videogames full time, dedicating my heart and soul into it.

It has been a fun and interesting journey, but it has been a rather lone journey too, since mainly I've been working by myself. And honestly it's starting to take it's toll on me. So that's why I decided to join an online community, specifically an online forum, something I have not done in 10 years and that I loved so much back then.

I'm currently working on two projects, using GameMaker as a game engine since I did not have a coding background.

So far I have been focusing on more "simple" games, mainly one button games, just so that I could learn the ropes. Eventually I would love to tackle 2d/3d games with story progression, such as Oxenfree for example.

I leave here two galleries with a couple of gifs from my projects:

Squaserz: a game about avoiding lasers and everything red:

Fluxnet: A game made for the GameMaker 2 Beta Jam, where 4 players battle each other in different arenas.

In addition, I'm also working on another game with a friend.

At the precise moment of this writing, I'm at a crossroads, not knowing where to go with my life, so I thought that joining a group of game developers and sharing the pains and glory would be a good way to focus on the task ahead and finally decide the next step.

I thank you all for taking the time to read this introduction, and I hope to meet you all to!

Thank you all :lol:

@Khawk I will be sure to do that! I have been quite interested in doing a developer journal for some time now, and now's the best time to start.

@slicer4ever oh, is there a Discord channel? And how can we access it? Thanks for the tip!

Hi.

I´m also new on this community. Your work looks good, congratulations.

I hope you´ll enjoy your time here.

I did 2 topics but did not get any reply, i think i´ll need to make more interesting stuff to post.

Usually is hard to start in a community, well that´s just my tough cause i´m not used to.

I also code in Game Maker Studio, i think is not usual here.

Anyway, welcome and hope you´ll get some good experiences for joining here.
