It's Hard Out Here for a Wannabe Game Maker
13 years ago
General
I am more noble than you? And you are more noble than me?
I wanted to go to school to be a video game designer. I know, you don't see any art that I've drawn on here but I thought all that could change if I went to school. Sadly though, there are no schools where I live that teach that. There are beginners' classes that get you used to the type of programs you would be using when you go further, you know what to do. But after that, that's it. You'd have to pack up and go either to Florida or California or New York to future your education.
Unfortunately in my case, it's not that simple. At first, it was because of transportation problems. I gotta a piece of crap car that I thought my dad would take care of since he's so scared of me going to the local car repair shops to be ripped off but lately as he sees more independent I get, the more he puts off looking at my car and now it's just sitting in the driveway rotting probably infested with bugs and squirrels by now.
And of course, there's also financial issues. I thought with the way my job was going, I could save up and have enough to get a used car and enough money for myself to either Florida to Full Sail University or even to Minnesota to move in with my adopted brother,
tozi , and a attend a tech school there. But lately, my job has been stingy; I've been cut back so many times and instead of making $300 every two weeks, I went down to $200 and sometimes even a $100 or less.
With each year going by, I feel my dreams slowly fading away. I hear of people on here, on Skype, outside of the Internet, getting good jobs or jobs they dreamed of, going to school, graduating, their parents sending them on trips. It's horrible to say I hate hearing the luck or blessings they have but it's how I feel.
I thought my writings would at least help me make a little cash on the side but it's not simply just write, edit, and publish. My writing mentor always nagged at me to writing something non-fiction and that's an area I really don't wanna touch. But my ever thinking, always wondering brain concocted something so I'm planning on writing my thoughts on my interests, including furries. I know how butthurt it is to everyone in the furry community so I give a heart felt promise that I'll be careful with this area.
Until then, I'll be playing around in this game making program called 001 Game Creator. I probably don't deserve help or another chance after typing my ranting, "no excuses"...rant above but if anyone experience in 2D game programming or sprite making could give me advice or links to tutorials, I would be grateful...
...why does my throat and heart hurt?

Rpique is making a 2D game. Maybe he can help you.
