Hello ladies and gentlemen

As I mentioned in my #introduceyourself post lately, beside Parkour and Free Running I am kind of an indie game developer. I would like to share a very short summary of my story about it with you fellow Steemians. Lets Start :)

Sport Injury: Start of a new passion

Last December I sprained my Ankle badly in the gym while doing Parkour. Unfortunately it was not a regular Ankle sprain which heals after couple weeks. At that time I could barely do anything, I couldn't walk for a long time and this was really depressing me. My dream was to be a stuntman and make a living from my passion. However this was a wake up call for me. I asked myself : "What if my ankel never heals again properly? What if I sprain my ankle again like that?" At that point i knew I need a plan B.

Plan B : The Second Hobby

I was always interested in Video Games and loved to watch developer blogs and updates. I also wanted to start study Game Development. However, it was only possible in an expensive private school for which I had no money. I researched about their courses and find out they work with a Game engine called "Unity" which also has a free license edition.

This was the starting signal for me. I downloaded "Unity" and started looking around by myself .The process speed was slow because of my weak GPU and it really was complicated at start- yet it was so much fun. So I started to watch the official tutorials and learn videos like crazy. I even found an old Monitor and used it as second monitor for my PC. This way I could watch tutorial on YouTube and work with the Game Engine at the same time.

After months of learning programming and experimenting with "Unity", I decided to work on my first real mobile game.

Road to Google PlayStore

My first game should have be simple because I still lack of programming skills. I decided for an endless Platformer because I really enjoy playing those kind of games on my phone. I started this project and tried to always work on it at least half an hour a day beside my daily jobs. I continue watching learn videos and implement the knowledge in my own game. It was a tough ride. Because of lack of experience and knowledge, I had to fight with many errors and searching answers in Stackoverflow.com -a Q&A website for coders. I also reached so many dead ends, yet I still was enjoying every moment working on my project. It was not like work for me, it was like a game-like a hobby.

Developer Update: Today

After 3 month I have completed the fundamental of my game. I still have a lot of thing to work on but I still want to share my progress with you. I am really excited to show it to you guys so here we go:

Thank you so much for your time reading it so far. It means a lot to me.

I hope I can publish my app on 15th of August. So don't forget to mark this in your calendars :P
