I recently came back to game dev
I'm mainly a Software Developper, with a passion for video games. But I struggled a lot in the latest years as I was mainly lacking confidence in my craft and beliefs. As time passed I realized that believing in yourself is so much more valuable that skills even if skills still is required
Examples of games projects back then when I was studing :
Down there, is an example of my first game project. Using SFML and inspired of an Entity-Component architecture.
Once I felt like I enjoyed the process of making games, I tried joining a group of developpers in a beginner friendly GameJam. So far this has been the closest I got from releasing a game I would have been proud of.
November 2017: Asteroid look alike.
At that time I was still struggling with my self-estime, and so going through the whole process of creating a game to completion, was what I thought to be the solution to my struggles:
Turned out it was trash, and I was actually even more doubtful of my skills, I felt responsible for a kid who asked if I could let him play my game for a Youtube video... I felt like i over promissed and the kid years later became a crack addict... you guess why I felt bad, Rip Titouan
January 10th 2025 : Here we are now
A lot a time has flown by, and now I realized how I gave up on what made me thrive so bad. I never really gave up on game dev, i just never acted upon it, as if I could not figure out what I did wrong, and that, through brain power and thinking hard enough, I could figure out what I was missing... turns out, I just need to try again and again, and one day i will make it.
