Greetings, Game Development OCD enthusiasts! Dusan here.
Are you:
- Struggling to find a job in the industry?
- Eager to create a game but unsure where to start?
- Looking to deepen your understanding of Game Design and Production?
- Frustrated with the conservative nature of the game industry? If so, you are not alone...
Throughout both my college years and early career, I wrestled with these same questions. I spent more than half a decade tirelessly working in what often felt like slave labor just to acquire the knowledge needed in this field. While some challenges persist even now, I can say with dignity that I have built a stable career for myself.
You might ask "what is the secret sauce Dusan"?
In all honesty, all it took was relentless effort, obscene dedication, and a bit of sacrifice. However, I reached a point where I now have the freedom to serve as a creative director and assistant for several high-quality indie and AA games.
If you resonate with any of the questions above, this is the right place for you. As a blessing in disguise, I intend to share my knowledge about game development on this platform, using horror as a lens to explore deeper concepts.
The horror genre, in my view, is one of the most intricate and sensitive genres to fully understand. Much like the teachings of Aristotle and Seneca, I believe that confronting horror allows individuals to master their own mind. In addition, from a game development perspective , understanding the genre can greatly assist with understanding fundamental elements of game design.
