My First Game!

~June 27, 2018~

Late last year, when I had my first assessment in coding bootcamp, one of the questions they had us think about is what industry vertical we think we want to move towards. After Googling what industry vertical meant, I realized I'd love to work in games. I think it marries a lot of what I love and work with well: writing (creating), community, and web development. I've been lurking on itch.io, Steam, and various Discords picking up resources and advice and now I have my first game! (It's less than five minutes, it's very basic, and I am beyond proud of it!)

It reflects my newest goal, one that I've read in almost every writer's book, comic, and blog post:

It doesn't matter what you imagine if you don't get it out into the world.

My goal for this year is to finish. Instead of worrying what everyone will think, I'm going to jump into things I love and want to do and see them through. After sharing this with some of the gaming community and being encouraged to keep going, I want to put it here as reminder to myself that I can and will do this.
