amazing…keep up the good work, fellow dev’er!

Wow your game looks really cool! How long have you been working on it?

Thank you for sharing your story and for your kind words! It’s amazing that we found the same passion during the lockdown. By the way, your game looks incredible—keep up the great work!

I completely agree with your point about not overworking yourself. As long as you still find joy in the process and avoid burning out, it truly is a wonderful experience.

Hi all, 

If you have a full time job and working on a game I would like to know your experience and the challenges you have encountered!? I have been working on my game High School Hills (my first game) since the lockdown and try to work on my game when I can, you can play my latest demo below.

I have released a major update  which makes the game more playable and fun but I still have a lot to do, I have a small team I reach out to when I need help for deadlines e.g. my EGX deadline but how do you guys work day to day or avoid burnout?

hello all!

I started my game dev journey during the lockdown and quickly fell in love with the idea of making a video game! Fast forward a couple of years and I am now working on a huge pixel game top down adventure game, the game:

Play as Bow, a teen who moves to High School Hills—where dreams and nightmares merge with reality. After your mother mysteriously vanishes, you're caught in a quest that spans two worlds. Encounter real-time combat, puzzles, and a choice-driven story in this top-down, pixel-art adventure

Today I released a demo on itch and although it’s hard to get views/download because of the saturated market, I’m still proud of what I have achieved so far! 

So this is the message to you devs, with enough bricks eventually you could build a house, keep going!
