Who
Hi, online I am known as mizipzor. I’m a game developer and a geek in general. I got a personal blog, also here on WordPress, where I write about most things computer/programming related. I started this blog to have a more focused topic.
What
This blog is about showing that creating a complete and polished computer game isn’t rocket science. It can be done.
Why
I attended the School Of Future Entertainment (SOFE) (located in Sweden) where I studied game programming. At the school, many students developed small games as hobby projects. Sadly, very few were finished and even fewer were even showed to others outside the classroom. It’s a real pity, some of those gems deserve to be released upon the world.
I was no exception. So I created this blog to find the pitfalls, why projects die and why so many games are left unfinished and ultimately find countermeasures to each and every one of them.
The name
I named the blog Game Gardener since I want to make game creation the sporadic and creative process it’s meant to be, like tending a garden. I think that to many bureaucratic systems bog down the process. Like growing a plant, game development can be an adventure, almost mysterious in nature. But with the right tools and knowledge a game almost grows by itself. This blog is about finding and supplying those tools.
The name is also a small tribute to my girlfriend, which likes gardens, plants and flowers.
