Let's Build the RPG! - 0 - Why You Should Probably Not Start This Series
Now that it's complete, I can look back on it and say, you should probably not start this series.
Why?
Straight up, it's hard. This series is hard.
It starts out nice and slow and easy, and that's how I get you, and then it ramps up fast. And it's even worse than that because you're going to run into roadblocks. Things are not going to always work right out of the gate, because of version changes, my own incompetence, stuff like that.
I've done my best to leave road signs along the way where I know there are bumps, in order to point you in the right direction, but even so, it's going to be really hard, and there are going to be times when, straight up, you get discouraged.
I was kind of naive when I started the series because I thought there would be many who would be interested in learning game dev from the ground up. I wasn't wrong about the interest, but the problem is staying power. The problem is patience and resilience.
But If you already know how hard it is to become a master at something, like a violinist, or a basketball player- if you have that sense of the true difficulty of mastery (and let me tell you, even after 3 years, I'm not even close to mastery), but if you have that sense, and that hunger, then this series may be for you.
Because if you are able to fall in love with the PROCESS of mastery, then you're ready for this series.
So, with all that said, if you decide to jump in- Godspeed.
