KHALICANVAS STUDIOS'S PROFILE

@Red_Nova

Internships over here are not worth it. This is according to our professors. I am working hard on getting a paper or two published. Immediately after my undergrads I will try for a masters abroad, whose requirements I am figuring out as of right now. Targeting a few good universities known for their game development courses and other more traditional-safer disciplines of study.

--> get a masters
--> secure a job, any valid job
--> somewhere in between figure out how to make games for a living

This too suggested by another professors

These are my current train of thoughts. Sounds good?

I already lost most of my hair anyways, lol. I realize that all those negative attributes are how the industry works right now and I may as well may be just need to build perspective. There is that tiny chance that I will get lucky or find a way around, mostly can only hope.

But something I took away from this entire thread is not to limit myseld to only games, just incase I need something to fall back on or have a change of heart

I have a game page for the second game... Its called TiFA

Making a living out of video games would simply mean I get to spend a lot more time making better and better games. I don't need to have the money for every unit of the game, nor do I want to make a fortune. I just want to make a comfortable living out of it so that I do not need to do something else, something I do not want to do, just for the paycheck at the end of the month.

As long as I get the money I need I would be glad to give away the game.

I also have no predisposition to only make "indie" games. Although its a good thing to start with, more creative control, smaller games, smaller funds required, smaller financial risks, takes less time, good to work my way up from there, the opportunity to makes niche games for niche audiences and not have to compete with studios having a few 100 employees, forced to work closely with different disciplines which would make me a better designer etc. At least that is how I feel about it.

And I also disagree with the last statement. "Indie games are for indie audiences. The point is to have fun, and probably do it as cheaply as possible. "

Indie games are starting to slowly but surely creep into non "indie" audiences, as I notice with many of my friends from different walks of life. Even if not, if the audience makes enough money for me I would be fine with it. Most of the people in the AAA industry must also be there for the "fun" or else their are better paid opportunities for most of them elsewhere. The point for anything and everything in life is to do it as cheaply as possible (yes, I realize some people like to spend money just to flaunt or because of the social class they belong to).

Lots of people just woke up one day and felt like making games. Now there is a few companies making half assed games and dying out. We can all imagine what someone's first games are like, not to mention everyone overhere only uses unity.

Hence I am not taking Bangladesh game companies into my calculations as one has yet to make anything their but their first mistakes.

How ling ago did you live here? I had had interest since before 2013
