My own five steps for getting into something new
A process for learning new things, my framework
As I often start side projects and learn new stuff, I wanted to write a bit about the process that is happening within my brain when this gets into motion.
1. The idea
Some people might first want to get into something, like woodcutting, cooking, or electronic engineering, then learn it and then find a project within this field. In my case, this is the opposite: I get an idea, then this idea germinates over the next few weeks or months, and then I get the urge to act on it. I can talk a bit about my latest idea, it was to make a Vampire Survivors clone. I have wanted to get into game development for a long time, but I never had a solid idea to really tip me over. Well, after playing too many hours of Vampire Survivors, I knew what I wanted to do: to make a clone of this highly addictive game.
I even found a name for it, the most original one… Grassland Survivors
