Guts & Glory: How I made my first game while working full-time and going to college and you can too!

I wrote an article for Gamasutra, discussing how I managed to build my first game while working around an extremely busy schedule. It's been a commercial success and allowed me to move on to making games full-time, something I dreamed of doing since I was a kid.

I hope others can find this article useful/inspiring! Please share

If you're a fellow Redditor, feel free to join the discussion going on here too!

 

Most of the stuff mentioned seems pretty standard but it never hurts to have another article.

This Reallusion stuff seems interesting. Thanks for that. I've deliberately shied away from characters because the tools there seem poor, and this looks worthwhile.

 

They are working on a new version of the Character Creator as well, specifically for game developers. I've given them a bunch of feedback as well, which they are already putting to good use. I can't really say more than that, but it looks very promising so far!

 

Sounds great. Honestly the more I looked into it the better all of that seemed, including stuff like the facial mocap. I'll have to give the suite a try.
