I joined two weeks ago. I am learning C++ and game dev. I want to talk about my journey to become a most likely solo indie game developer. We could learn a thing or to on the way.
I chose Steem over other platforms is because I care about data ownership and blockchain technology. I hope I will find myself at home here.

I stated one primary goal :to work everyday on learning gamedev, even if it's not directly related. So far it's quite successful as I have a working C++ SDL environment, made a Tic Tac Toe game, some pixel art, another Pacman and pixel animation, and I started to explore procedural generation to use it in a creative way later.
Today and the next, I am building an Entity Component System for the next games, and next I will start digging into AI and tree behaviors using design patterns.
Learn stuff to make games.
tl:dr; I build things and talk about it. Nice to meet you.
