GameSmart Games 2016-2017
I can’t believe I never blogged about leaving my teaching job to work full-time as a game developer!
Back in September 2016 I left my full-time teaching gig to work for GameSmart.com, a company in Minneapolis that makes web games, as a Game Developer. Mid 2017 I was promoted to Senior Game Developer and was promoted to the Development Manager January 1, 2018.
I made quite a few games during 2016 and 2017 for GameSmart! I also learned 3 new game engines in the process. Here’s some thumbnails.
- 12/2/2016 GameMaker/GML
- 10/27/2016 v1: Superpowers/TypeScript 2/16/2017 v2: GameMaker/GM
- 3/15/2017 Construct 2
- 5/22/2017 Phaser/JavaScript
- 6/27/2017 Phaser/JavaScript
- 10/16/2017 Phaser/JavaScript
- 11/10/2017 Phaser/JavaScript
As a “New Years” thing I tweeted about the fact that I made a bunch of games in 2017. The tweet went crazy viral, which was overwhelming and weird.
BTW, if you’re looking at this post and thinking, “I only count 6 games on 3 game engines”, hold your horses! I have more blog posts coming 🙂
I’ve never used the “read more” tag, so hopefully it works. Read more to view a list of the games, along with publication dates, engine/language, and videos. And playable links!
