Dev Log
Code name - Tech Green
This should be the start of my Dev log. Let me make my introductions.
My Name is Haydn and I am a Graduate with a First Class Honours in Computer games design. I thoroughly enjoyed my journey through my degree, even if it was challenging, not the most supported with a lack of technical knowledge in a teaching team which was heavy in the artists and not so much mechanical implementation. Even through the hardships I create my projects, taught myself what I needed to know and passed on every last piece of knowledge to my university colleagues, because sometimes putting in the hours really did feel like a full time job.
With the state of the industry at the time of graduation, post covid and needing an income I went into other work and then into technology and hardware. However, the desire to make and create games, alongside playing and enjoying them never went anywhere. That’s, in short, what brings us to today. The start to one of the biggest personal projects with one of the largest scopes for a long term development journey. By no means is this a journey for just myself but, for the others who have similar dreams and desires that I wish to bring on board for something that will only enhance a portfolio as well as their growing skills.
Welcome to (Code name) tech green, influenced by my day to day work, a game which I hope to bring the satisfaction of satisfactory and progression of other sims, such as super market sim and big ambitions. There isn’t much yet but there is more to come but the start – can be seen below.
