Let's get started

So this is what I am going to do. I'm taking on game development and I'm going to be a game king of some sort, but first I need to get learning.

My name is Tommy and I'm a historian and a full time software developer. I make boring stuff for companies to do their administrative work. All well and nice and it gets food on the table, but a man's got to do what a man's got to do, so insert this blog.

I'm going to make games using C# and Unity. I'll be making my own crappy graphics (because while I can program and will get used to C# and Unity, drawing is my lifelong enemy, so I'll take it on) and designing all of it on my own.

Sitting in the bus to and from the office gives me time to think and blog and I'll try to write down my thoughts regularly. I hope it will help me through the projects and I hope it will be fun to read.

YouTube people all tell me I should keep my ideas small. I'm thinking about making Skyrim or Age of Empires though. Thinking mostly, because that's what I do. I'll try not to let it get to my head,  but bear with me, because it's hard. I'm sure. 

For now,  I'll mostly be trying and studying and building something small. Hopefully I'll be able to release something and progress as we go, with my epic RPG or strong  RTS in the back of my head. Probably something historical or fantasy-context in the long run, but with stick figures to start with.

I hope it'll be fun!
