Made my first game! It was an incredibly fun and enlightening journey, all thanks to the amazing tutorial by Coding with Russ. I couldn't have done it without his wonderful guidance. As someone who aspires to be a well-rounded product manager, I believe it's crucial to be at the intersection of design, engineering, and business. The best way to truly understand each aspect is to walk in the shoes of business managers,  UX engineers, and software developers. In this project, I dived deep into the world of game development, learning about game physics, animations, graphics, and so much more. It was fascinating to see how each element comes together to create an engaging experience. Throughout the process, I constantly thought about how to enhance the game, add new features, and even considered marketing strategies. I pondered over how to make the graphics more appealing, what new dynamics could be added, and how to ensure the game resonates with players from both a technical and emotional standpoint. This hands-on experience allowed me to live a glimpse of a product manager's role in the gaming industry, which was incredibly cool! Gaming has always been a part of my life, from Activision Blizzard 's Call of Duty, Electronic Arts (EA) ' s FC24 (formerly known as Fifa), Ubisoft 's Assassin's Creed to Nintendo 's Mario Kart, Rockstar Games 's GTA, Sony PlayStation 's Uncharted and so on. Combining my love for games with my passion for product management has been a super cool experience. To be a great product manager, one must empathize with stakeholders and bridge the gap between technical and non-technical audiences. This project was a step towards that, getting my hands dirty and understanding the intricacies involved. I'm excited to share my learning journey on GitHub.

Ok, folks...confession time: I love #videogames. I always have as long as I can remember back--roughly to age 4. It was '91 and my parents bought me my first Nintendo Entertainment System (NES/Famicom) with the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt combo cartridge. Since then I've owned every single system with little exception, and today I am addicted to Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 on my Steam Deck from Valve corporation. However, this year has marked a seriously disappointing trend in the industry. Sony Interactive Entertainment, Microsoft Studios, and many smaller subsidiaries and #Indie studios have either folded or been forced to issue massive layoffs to the talented (and, let's be honest, #overworked) staff that help make the games that I love. I can only imagine the frustration, fear and anger that this has caused to so many, and while I unfortunately lack the connections to create new job opportunities, what I do have--if you'll allow me to borrow from #gamespeak--is a useful power-up I'd love to offer. In the event that the studio and/or position you left behind provided you with a standard retirement account (think 401(k) or similar) and you're not sure what the best course of action is when it comes to what to do with it, I can help. I allotted all my XP over the years into enhancing my understanding and skills in provided #guidance on these matters, and I want to do what I can to create some peace of mind in what might be an otherwise crazy situation. Remember, "it's dangerous to go alone," so let me be the Player 2 you're looking for! Also, anyone in the #gamesindustry that might be #hiring--please spam this post so we can help get some people back at work and creating again!
