Hey man. I'm more or less in the same boat as you. I'm an aspiring game developer with dreams to one day open up my own game development studio. I'm joining many game forums to meet others, collaborate and exchange ideas. I uploaded a post on here not too long ago, about a Sudoku game with a unique twist on fast paced, vibrant and colorful aesthetics with the focus educational elements, all inspired by the fast-paced, colorful world of the classic Sonic pinball machines. Let me know if you're interested.
