HariRaya and GCA
Hey peeps its been awhile since i posted,5 days to be exact. I’ve been really busy with all the project C&Cs
tons and tons of stuff to change and add, but i know the games gonna be good!
Anyways i’ll start off by saying Selamat Hari Raya to all my Muslim peeps!, it’s been a good relaxing time for me to go out with my family and have fun with my relatives!
Actually i want to talk about GCA (Games Convention Asia), if I’m not wrong this is the 2nd year that they are having it in Singapore, it’s not about the game booths for me(NOT AS BIG AS TGS OR PAX..NOT EVEN HALF).The highlight for me for both years where the presentations. The first year, one of the developers from Assassins Creed came down, shared with us crowd control , it was amazing!. Then there was the panel, not very interesting cause they talked about the gaming industry in Singapore, it being new and all.
NOW THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT!
Amazing Amazing Amazing, so many more technical people were at the panel, they talked about really really important stuff, stuff that we as game developers should bring on top of the table, tips on what to learn and packaging ourselves to the company.
I’ve learned a lot from them, and its refreshed my love for game development, I’m now 20% even more certain i want to be in the games industry(This makes it 220%).
I have to admit though last year i wasn’t really in the mindset of what specifically i wanted to do, designer?, programmer?. I know i wanted to be a programmer, but what kind?.I was stuck, but this year is different all the little things that I’ve been through and all the big ones, have finalized what i like about game development, and that is the technology behind it. Something i can build from scratch, technologies that make other game development people look at a game and go WOW. “His little engine is pretty powerful”. I want to be a game engine developer, i want to make the next UNREAL ENGINE.
Here’s my advice to everyone out there who wants to make it, go to talks like these, interact and talk to these professionals, and you will learn tons. SOCIAL NETWORK. AND WORK WITH PASSION, to really succeed!
Cheerios Peeps,
Ikhwan
