Final Project
My final project for this course is to fully code my own game by the end of 2026 and have another game script written. I want to create something that is full of story and lore while always working on making small puzzle while I’m still learning. I need to be able to know how to use a pixel game editor.
Ink to Impact
Course Description
While I may focus a lot more on game writing and i vary from idea to idea, my boyfriend is a very dedicated horror author. He is the kind of author that honestly amazes you just from reading the first draft and I’m extremely jealous of his talent and I’m not just saying this because of how deeply in love I am with him. This man can definitely succeed as a bestselling author, and I want to do everything i can to help him with that as he’s working on it. I want to be able to know anything important that will help him when he finally gets to the editing and publishing stage.
