HELLO THIS IS ME

hi everyone. I just got my invite!

I'm 22 years old and study Architecture in the United States. I work at the ohio state university as a research assistant with one of the professors. I also design t-shirts and enjoy playing music in my free time :) Recently, I've been trying to develop a level of knowledge with the GameMaker software, attempting to design my own video games.

i really love everything that is design. i think it invades every part of our life. i love when it is used for good (but it's also kind of interesting to me when it is used for evil, purely from a polemic standpoint).

I sometimes get depressed and use creating as a way of dealing with it. I like discussions about mental health, as well as gender identity and total acceptance. My family has dealt with a lot of mental issues and I've seen how unhealthy it is to totally ignore them in hopes of them going away. everything is so much easier when you have people to talk to who accept and understand you!

hope everyone is having a nice day :)

    Welcome to snapzu /u/walrusistheme! It's a pleasure to have you here!

    Here are a few tribes you should check out and maybe join --> /t/design, /t/mentalhealth, /t/gaming
    I also recommend that if you don't find a tribe, you can totally make one of your own and have others join you in your efforts :)

    I've been using gamemaker for the last three years. It's a great! I still suck at it, but I've managed to make a few decent games with it. My problem is I can never seem to finish anything...

      i've been at it for about a month now... it's such a frustrating experience. but it is sooo satisfying when something works.

      i haven't finished anything either... it has gotten to the point where I'm just recording ideas for complex game types that I can hopefully return to when I have the experience
