I try to make a living making games. It's tough.
Good thing I have all the allies to keep me sane!
@trugs26 Thanks! We're not at the finish line yet, but we're almost there :D
That is quite serious with you hiring artists and musicians. I like it :D
Sounds very smart to give yourself such a hard deadline. That means you will have to kill some very loved babies in order to get it actually done in time.
I wish you the very best and post it when you're done. I would very much like to see it :D
@Doctor-Professor Totally understandable to not expect much ^^ Thanks! It truly is wonderful feeling knowing people are enjoying a game you made :D
@Lotias haha best super hero job ever! "At night I take to the rooftops and develop games!" Sounds like a lot of fun! I would love it if you shared some on the forums (unless you already have, then i apologize for not looking) Get some game devs in here! :D
By my experience the absolute hardest part of making games is to finish them. Not going completely overboard with the scope and not getting bored half-way when there are more bug-fixes than creativity left :P
@Lotias Awesome! Are you making a game, or is it illustrations and stuff? :D
Hi Allies!
First, I'm sorry if this post seems super self-promotional. This is something I'm super proud of and tons of fun as well!
Me and a few of my friends started a game company and try to make a living out of it.
Our first commercial game is on Steam Early Access and we just launched it into Alpha!
Its called Spellsworn. Here's a link to the steampage for more info.

It's an arena brawler inspired by the old mod Warlock for Warcraft 3 (made with the warlock creators blessing)
If you want to check it out, it would be awesome! If not, it's fine too :)
Thanks for everything Allies, and thanks for being the best community on the web!
Love and respect!

Cannonfood
Back in the days of the first Quake we played multiplayer at our school. I got to use the worst computer, and also didn't get to join either the red or the blue team playing (because I was too bad at the game) So I named myself "CannonFood", picked the orange color, got in the players way and had a good time in my own team. It Stuck with me ever since!
Whenever I use the wheel I end up turning it way more than what's intended and I have absolutely no control of the carts :P
I just stick to the D-pad ^^
