WHY I CHOOSE HTML5 TO MAKE GAMES NOW

Basically I think HTML5 is a way better option for small game projects. For those that know me, they know they I don’t like spending unnecessary money and now with HTLM5 that’s a possibility. I no longer have to spend money putting my games on the app stores. However when I was starting out in 2013, HTML5 wasn’t an option nor playing games on the web browser via your phone. Now that technology is better we don’t have any more restrictions, but It took me awhile to finally see the beauty of HTML5.

Can I Still Call Myself An Artist?

Soo... I dove head first into game development by attending The Art Institute of Atlanta (RIP). I knew I was an all around creative in high school, but didn’t realize how perfect that was for game development until I was getting ready to graduate with my Bachelors degree in Game Art & Design. During college I picked up skills in industry standard tools like Photoshop and Unreal. I even gained a deeper understanding of storytelling, art fundamentals, and sequential art, which proved helpful for all my creative passions. Concepts that today, I’d be lost without. Unfortunately, in spite of the robust art training put in place that made me more hirable, I felt our curriculum fell short on extensive design education. I really wanted to dive in on creating worlds that never existed and making them feel real.

The Buggy Totem Series

The Buggy Totem is a collection of incomplete games and game jam projects framed as a learning tool for aspiring developers. We grew up on demo discs, but today we have a USB flash drive of games before and after they were finished. Each bundle is a great way to support indie developers and learn directly from their dev logs and bugs.
