Oh! Thanks for the in-depth reply!
Yep, VR is why I got into game dev in the first place! I feel like I would’ve learned a lot more by now if I didn’t. Building things for VR is a lot more time consuming and there are less resources to draw inspiration from. But hey, I’m not giving up that easily lol I definitely want to learn as much as I can.
Not to mention, I started doing this whole game dev thing a bit late. So I definitely share your sentiment. I’m on the older side now and some younger people are just waaay to talented… I always tell myself that there are things that only I can do that people who are super talented cannot or won’t do. So that’s what I focus on!
I tend to be practical, but I think that’s why I’m having issues with art. The way my brain works is: If I spent my time on something, it better be useful and worth it. But often, I find art is the opposite and more about wasting your time until you get good results. It seems like it’s better to do a ton of things and then remove what doesn’t work, even if it feels like a waste. I definitely have to get over that more.
Your inspirations are all very interesting, especially that “Choose your deity” song, that’s sick looking and I’ll definitely put it somewhere as refernce myself.
My brain still gets confused about how you managed to actually combine everything in such a way though. I do think it’s all about experimentation and understanding what you like. I feel like that’s another thing I have trouble with. I need to make a lot of cringe and bad things to get to where I want to be, but it’s rough. There is a lot of hesitance on my side that I need to work on.
I do think that you are on the right track with just doing your thing, especially making that youtube video will probably be useful to yourself and other people. It’s how I got to the small successes that I had in the past, whenever I could just let go and do things.
Well, either way, that would be it from me. The last thing I’m curious about: Is skillshare actually worth it? I saw it advertised a lot, but my immediate reaction is that it’s not useful because of how much money they put into marketing. Maybe I should check it sometime.
