The 20 Games Challenge
Enutie
So every story has its beginnings, but where to start? I have watched countless youtube videos about indie game development and there seems to be a consensus saying ‘Start small!’ and ‘Don’t make your dream game as the first game!’
So what do I do then? I found The 20 Games Challenge. The premise is that you start out small with games like pong or flappy bird and slowly work your way up to more complex games.
This is also a way out of ’tutorial hell’ where you don’t essentially know how to do anything without having a tutorial to follow, here you have to use the documentation and experimentation, alternatively you can ask other people for help, but no tutorials! I like this approach and I will try and follow it, to further develop my knowledge and skills.
