This has nothing to do directly with game development, but I hope you find some time to do some good old-fashion #reading this week. We often forget that literacy is a skill (as well as a generally wonderful and worthwhile habit), and skills must be practiced.

Read a novel, read a comic, read a ruleset for your favorite ttrpg, read a book on arts and crafts, read a technical manual or textbook, the artifact itself doesn't really matter. Regardless, get something in front of you and read.

I'm working in #sdl2 and using plain C #clang. This is going to be my summer project. I want to make a fully featured #pacman clone. I know some people are making websites and apps but I wanted to make something I cared about and I care about games.

I read @romero 's autobiography and that has me pretty charged up to do things the old-school way. The way I see the arcade was where I feel in love with games as a kid so I'll start by making arcade classics.

All human made code of course.

I think this is my first "#screenshotsaturday" but I finished the official #monogame tutorial for the Dungeon Slime Game. I really learned a lot and had a lot of fun. It feels really good to complete something. This took me WAYYYYY too long to complete but I completed it and I'm going to take that momentum into the next project whatever that will be

I made some good progress on the #monogame platformer I have been working on. I really need to finish this textbook before summer's end. I don't have a job right now and only taking one summer school class so I have no excuse. I'm gonna finish this textbook and find a way to develop a personal project.

That's my big goal for the summer. That and continue to work on the #godot development too. I think pairing Godot and Monogame will bolster my game development skills in tandem.

semester is winding down. My goal for summer is to read a bunch of #computerscience and #programming books over summer and build stuff. I need to find a job in software, IT, or ideally games. I need to build my resume and skill set through making stuff and learning stuff and learning stuff through making stuff.

The modern tech industry is very weird (Not just the big name MEGACORPS) and finding a job seems to be a multi-stage boss fight. I gotta get some decent “gear” by building my skills.

Are there any resources for finding #gamejobs or #internship in the gaming industry? Where does one find those starter/#entrylevel positions in gaming? I feel like the tools for job-seekers constantly shift and change.
