game designer | developer | creative technologist
After making “Horde?!”, I was able to see the whole process put together into the best thing I could make at the time. I was always online before, watching videos and hoping that some day I could be the one to make great games. But there was one thing that no one ever told me…
You do not need to know how to draw art, write code, or compose music before making a game for the first time. I made the mistake of waiting until I dove through tutorial after tutorial, trying to learn how to do everything, before making my first game. This is the wrong approach.
The real way to do it… is to just do it! Make a game, then make another, and keep gaining skills and knowledge, through incomplete, failed, and successful projects, until you realize that you are doing what you always wanted to do.
I will help you get unstuck on your projects and make progress towards getting them onto your portfolio. Please reach out over email for help and/or tutoring opportunities at codygamedesign@gmail.com
