From Devolve to Devlog #1
So I'm in my mid 40s, went through the classic midlife crisis about this time last year. Sold my business and started to learn to program.
Did CS50x, played with Unity and Godot and made your classic pong, brickles etc. Tried an online C++/SMFL course that was fun and made some other classics like a Zelda clone and a basic platformer. I decided I wanted more.
I watched a bunch of Handmade Hero. I set up an C/C++/SDL project but before I even wrote a line of new code I saw this project and knew it would be my best course of action.
I am still just a beginner in programming but I have learnt so much in the last month or so. I have my ups and downs but joining this game jam 3 days ago has given me a huge boost in productivity. I highly recommend it!
I am making a point and click adventure (probably because I am an old fart). I don't expect to make anything I can sell on Steam anytime soon or expect to ever make any money out of this, but still, this is the dream.
Anyway this is my first pass, wireframe art, mystery on a train game after 1 year of learning to program, one and a bit months of procrastination and 3 days of actual OogaBooga jam programming. Lots of issues to sort but I have 11 days left for this first try.
