Hey, I'm new to game development and I enjoy working with Godot and GB Studio.
Hello,
I've started to create some 3D art in the form of low-poly models with Blender (mostly science-fiction themed assets). I've already created and uploaded some model spaceships created on Blender with more assets on the way.
It's quite fun being able to create unique things in this way (especially the far-future themed assets - those have otherworldly and geometric themes and look impressive when enough detail is put into them). However, I've still got some stuff to learn about Blender (I want to learn how to animate eventually), so for now I'm just making static object models.
Good luck with what you're doing!
Hello,
I definitely agree with that, it's quite far from my comfort zone but engaging it invites curiosity and thus improves activity. In any case, it also provides an opportunity to see what others are doing, which can be inspiring at times, as well as the writing process itself being rewarding after crafting a well-written post.
It's interesting that you are into game development, what type of games are you working on? Personally, I've been into asset creation, it's quite fun creating 3D objects from imagination.
Hello! I was a teenager in 1993 when my brother and a friend imagined a revolutionary platformer game featuring a smiling blue ball in a platformish world: Bilou's Adventure. Of course, we never gathered the required knowledge to code that on Amiga and the quest to make the PC version became a neverending quest for how-to-do-X with limited books and inexistant software libraries ^^"
But I'm the kind of guy who taught himself assembler with a small book when CS teachers wouldn't want to lend me a floppy with Turbo Pascal, so I went on, lost myself into designing an operating system. My brother somehow tried to wake me up in 2001 when he came back home with the reverse-engineered specs of the then-brand-new GameBoy Advance ... Bilou's adventure had turned into a mini-comic "Bilou's Book", Unfortunately, I had 0 experience with cross-platform development (yet) and plenty of exams to work on, so apart from a few sketches, nothing really happened 
I finally woke up in 2006 when I heard about the Nintendo DS. I had a bit of experience of stylus-based applications by then, and stronger skills for embedded ARM development. I was in touch with people who could recommend me "linker" hardware, so by the end of the year, I had small tools of mine running on the DS, which I could use to edit graphics. It became https://pypebros.itch.io/sprite-editor-for-ds over time.
And near 2007, I first heard about Cave Story. That was a shock. One person could make a full-featured game in a mere 5 years! All you had to do was define yourself the right virtual retro machine and stick to it. I sure could do that. And I wouldn't need a virtual machine because the 66MHz and the 4MB of the NDS was all I'd ever need to make all the games I could dream of.
Wisely enough, I did not start re-creating Bilou's adventure. Instead I assigned myself the rule of always making a game after I made graphics for a game. So I made an arcade-ish 4-screens game dubbed "Apple Assault" with my green zone graphics, then a 4-level running game dubbed SchoolRush in my school zone graphics.
There could be much more to say, but the rest is already fairly covered on my page and in my blog. My current project is still going to feature Bilou, because I set myself that other rule to focus on Bilou whatever the game -- else I'd lose myself in endless design documents :P And hopefully, while not being the originally intended adventure, it should be a Kirby Dreamland - sized slice of what Bilou's Adventure would feature.
Oh, I'm from Belgium, in case you wonder ;)
