Something really struck me while reading @wallf1ower's recent post in response to a tag game, and I wanted to give my opinions in it.
Programming really does have a special place in my heart. It does not really look like it has any emotional value to it like art, or writing, or music but programmers know. I am so attached to it, it's my escape.
And it is also true that we sometimes get emotionally attached to a particular coding language, like a pet <3 due to many reasons. I did do a bit of Java as my first programming language in school, but Python was my key to the coding universe as I like to call it.
I love every second I spend in front of my laptop creating something, and knowing that although how hard the process may be, the output will be beautiful, and it will be my own creation, and I would be proud of it. This can be applied to any situation in real life, and it's surprising how programming has given me the confidence that I need to get through life.
It's funny how some things you like at a young age may seem temporary, but turn out to be the very element that shapes your future the way you love.

Shout out to my partner who, last night whilst I was fading in and out of consciousness on call (I was eepy):
talked about the Theorist Channels
played fan-made Theorist song paradies (like the American Pie one)
played Stupendium's song
played YouTube's "Hello Retirement" tribute
every time I woke up. for an HOUR (after an hour I proceeded to sleep-sleep till morning)

Indie Game Development Tools for Beginners
Intro:
Hey there, fellow gaming enthusiasts! It's your friendly neighborhood game developer, Techy Saad, here to guide you through the exciting world of indie game development. Whether you're a seasoned programmer looking to dive into game design or a complete beginner eager to bring your creative visions to life, this post is for you. Today, we'll be exploring some of the best tools and resources tailored for beginners venturing into the realm of indie game development. So, grab your coffee, fire up your imagination, and let's get started!
Welcome to the Indie Game Development Scene:
Starting a game development business is a thrilling experience that offers a plethora of creative opportunities, challenges, and tools. If you are just starting out, you will need to arm yourself with the necessary resources to see your game ideas through to completion. Luckily, the indie game development community has a wealth of easily navigable tools and resources to assist you in getting started.
Game Engines: The Heartbeat of Your Game
Game engines are the building blocks upon which you can construct your entire game. If you are just starting out, it is important to choose a user-friendly game engine so that you can minimize the learning curve and concentrate on letting your creativity run wild. Unity and Unreal Engine are two of the most well-liked options among independent developers because of their feature-rich features, wealth of documentation, and active communities.
Unity:
Unity is well-known for being user-friendly and adaptable, making it a great option for novices who want to start making games. Its user-friendly interface and extensive tutorials allow you to quickly prototype and create 2D or 3D games without any prior programming knowledge.
Unreal Engine:
Unreal Engine, a well-known tool for game development, is so good that even a novice can create engaging games with its Blueprint visual scripting system. Its marketplace also has a ton of assets and plugins that can help you make better games.
Visual Assets: Bringing Your Game to Life
While gameplay mechanics are important, visually appealing content is just as important for drawing players in and making them feel like they are in the game. If you are just starting out, using pre-made assets and graphic tools can help you produce games faster without sacrificing quality.
Blender:
As a free and open-source 3D creation suite, Blender is an invaluable tool for indie developers seeking to create stunning 3D models, animations, and visual effects for their games. With its user-friendly interface and extensive community tutorials, Blender is a must-have for beginners delving into 3D game development.

This site might be strung together by the MacGuyver code version of duct table, bubblegum, paperclips, and shoelaces.
But at least Tumblr hasn’t lost like 80% of it’s staff, including most critical departments, so it will eventually be stable once the influx has settled down a bit.

!HELP WANTED!
Hello, I am Dex! Lately, I have been working on a psychological RPG video game called "Freakshow from Hell" ever since late December of last year. However, I don't have a very big team of people that can help me put this together.
I am in need of background artists, (examples will be provided) pixel and pixel sprite artists, music composers, animators, coders, and any other forms of help would be very much appreciated.
Sprite sheet examples. I'm looking for simplified styles similar to "Undertale" or "Omori". Animator positions will be specialized in pixel animation.
If you are at all interested in helping bring this project to life, please DM me on Tumblr or on Discord. My username is B0Z0_D3X. See you then!
