Second Month

mountains

This was a solid month of work, video games and travelling.

  • 1 February - 3rd place at local table tennis tournament, my first podium in solo tournaments
  • 2 February - Came back to Civilization 6
  • 5 February - Started working on a new racing game that is about to be announced
  • 6-9 February - Trip to the Dombay’s mountains. This was extremely cool. A lot of practice of skiing. Good emotions.
  • 11 February - Prepared racing game prototype #1
  • 12 February - Received an invitation to work at big company, but rejected it later - my passion lies within my own company and gamedev, i’m lucky to have a choice
  • 15 February - Played a lot of Parking Garage Drifter Rally - cool game, took many ideas for my own title
  • 20 February - Started playing League of Legends with friends again - this time my goal is to remain calm and focusing my own game - much more enjoyment from the game this time
  • 22 February - Finally wrote my small task manager - it works entirely in CLI and very convenient in my workflow - i already see big gain in my organization
  • 22-26 February - Big push of our racing game progress - we prepare prototype #2 at the start of March

This wasn’t as much productive month as the January, but it is definitely a month of important decisions and unique emotions. I’m very excited towards March, where my main goal is to push gamedev project as hard as we can. Push the quality to a reasonable level, follow good scope, release faster and get the experience. I don’t expect much in terms of finance gain from the first game, but i expect much in terms of experience. At the end of the day, the primary goals are always the same - bringing value and having a good time.

Let’s go into March.
