From zero to hero - becoming a game developer in 1 year with no previous coding experience
In this video, I'm chatting with Jordan, an indie game developer and the creator of Haiku The Robot!
A bit over a year ago, he didn't know anything about game development or coding in general, but now he's in the middle of creating his own game. We talk about various topics like getting started with game development, what's the process around it, what is it like to jump into programming and fundraising money through Kickstarter.
Definitely check out Haiku The Robot Kickstarter campaign:
