Hey I'm Casey! I have been making games since I was 12 years old (Gamemaker 6.1 back then!!!) and now I stick to Java games with LibGDX.
I really want to motivate myself to complete a small game just so I can show it off that I can complete something!
I really don't have any recent completed works to show off on itch.io mostly because I used to study and work full-time but now I'm just working full-time.
Oh, I also do some DooM modding on the side too :)
Nice to meet everyone!
Just like learning to play an instrument (I'm learning ukulele), the tip is to go slow, as slow as you need to, and practice, practice, practice. So what I see some people do for practice is to hack a game you love or hack a bunch of them and mash them together. For example, a friend took a game set in old England and changed the setting and character tropes to fit an 80's movie. I played both original and hack, and they're both terrific. Actually I loved the hack so much more because I know 80s more than old England. So tweak a favorite game to fit what you're into, and then play the new game. It'll give you a sense of mechanics and pace, etc.
