The time has come! And so have I. The end of the year is this magical moment when everyone you know and their mothers make brave resolutions of change. "New year, new me!" they cheer, full of enthusiasm and determination. I was never one of those people. Well... Not up till now, that is. 

After a few long and exhausting years at my crappy, low-pay-high-demands job, I've had enough. I couldn't stand the thought of being forced to do this for the rest of my life, so after saving some money, I quit. For a while now I was entertaining the thought of becoming a game dev. I've been a gamer my entire life and games have always been incredibly important to me. As a certified introvert (tm), I spent countless hours playing, but not until just a few years back have I ever thought of making one myself. 

Things changed around 2016, when I played Dark Souls for the first time. This game changed not only the way I see my own skills as a gamer, but also how much I pay attention to the way games are made. Ever since then, I have delved into the secrets of making games, watching hours upon hours of videos and documentaries, reading blog posts, articles, and consuming anything having any bit of knowledge about it. 

Fast-forward to fall 2022. My job got so unbearable that I thought "ah, what the hell, I might just as well quit". I'm not the freshest boba in the cup, so it's also my "now or never" kind of a thing. I just want to make games and this is my first step towards that goal.
