Game development. I do the coding, 3D art and animation, everything. I don't know if I'll ever even finsh another project, and it's incredibly time-consuming, but I enjoy it.

Same, but honestly for me it is such a lonely existence. Even when I show off my projects to friends/family they can't understand the effort that went into it... many seem to think there's a "make racing game" button or something and I just added some textures or built a track.

I often wonder if I should pivot into wood working or something else, at least I'd have something tangible to gift or sell at the end. People just seem to appreciate things they can hold in their hands more.

So what are you working on just now?

Ol' gamedev making a no-graphics multiplayer game here :-)

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I have a GIF of a quick placeholder character I made a while ago (I kinda want to keep it though). I'm also hoping to make it multiplayer, but not sure if I'll be able to optimize it enough to make it playable.

Nice prototype start, good luck!
