Hello!
I’m Jessyka, a brazilian/international developer. I came here from Udemy (UE4 course) and I’m introducing myself.
I’ve been playing around with game development since I was a kid. I have my fair share of failed RPG Maker projects, mostly because of the lack of programming skills (at the time) and asset development. Afterwards, I decided to study on a systems analysis and development course (university/college) - 2011 - which I then stopped in 2013 to study game development (on another university). The university sucked and, well, I came back in 2015 and I’m OMW to finish it.
During this time, I’ve developed a lot of prototypes and small systems - from android/Java to nowadays servers in NodeJS. I always liked RPGs but I just really wanted to develop one of my ideas, which… seemed scarce.
I’ve started the UE4 course yesterday mostly because one of my ideas, although not mind blowing, is pushing me to MMORPG development. I know it’s harsh and it’s a known “graveyard of broken dreams” when it comes to indie development, but you can only know when you try. I also believe I’ll get a lot of experience developing it, so what matters for me is not the financial value I’ll possibly get if I finish it nor the fame, but the experience when developing the MMORPG. I have a few failed projects and finished small games and I have a lot of experience when it comes to developing projects, so I know what’s ahead and I’m going for it.
Hope to meet friends here! Wish you all a good day.
