Sorry if our conversation is getting too extended but I just wanted to say that that is awesome... me too, when I start making my own money, would love to do online courses/programs. Good luck!!!
haha its chill! thanks!! i'm pushing through! thankfully this is a free program so i won't lose much should I fail but yeah haha
yeah its good to have an income just to take advantage of things like coursera, skillshare and lynda.com if u have time though for most when u have time (i've had plenty) i usually did 7 day trials of coursera courses and just watched all the videos for all 3-4? courses that gets unlocked and copy assignments into a google doc to do later if i feel like it (also some videos can be downloaded or if not, all have a transcript i also saved in a google doc with some screenshots); skillshare.. i did a free trial by using a youtuber's promo code and then when i was cancelling, they didn't want me to leave after i clicked that its was the money and they gave me another month free??; oe could be free through ur library card which is hella sweet! sorry if you do know all this but thought i'd share! i like this bc its not like actually doing a course/class but your gaining more knowledge. If you just want to learn on your own terms and also don't need certificates (i think thats rly only coursera), thats my methods :P
The thing i'm doing was supposed to be a like actual program, not online so that's why its so formal/serious (zoom meetings etc.) They also gave me a 2 month free linkedin learning licence which is cool. That's also a thing- its similar to lynda (i think its now the same company etc), maybe almost the same video library (i havn't checked) but just more select and branded mm
as said it all depends on time! also i mean youtube does have so much.. oh humblebundle does a lot of bundles where some are video courses and first tier is usually like $2 (well its either 1 usd or 1.50 cad i guess) which if you have any money at all can be nice..
i have no clue if any of this is relevant,, ur a teen, u prob know a lot or maybe schools talk abt resources >.<;; i have no clue how teens are these days,, (im 24 and still feel like a baby but yeah i've been out of college for a couple of years by now ^^;;)
this has been my natural progression from i guess saving every art tutorial i found on deviantart bc that's what i did when i was in highschool lmao and read a lot of manga........ idk if there was a lot of youtube videos back then and they just weren't on my radar.. now gosh theres a lot of good tuorials and things there. mainly skillshare is good for art.. but thats moneeey so..
.................right dont ever thing to apologize abt talking in comments at least with me,, as u can see i cannot shut up and i write a lot (ーー;)
Wow.... that's a lot of information... great I love it!
Yeah, I more or less knew about all this courses and programs but is great to heard other people that aolso enjoy them,
The main reason why I'm not doing one at the moment is for school (I'm from Argentina so I still have several months until holidays) and when I'm free I'm currently focusing on my own projects such as improving my art, game development skills or writing.
I think is great you are exploring all this free stuff, showing how posible is to learn on the internet without spending a cent.
"Ur a teen, u prob know a lot or maybe schools talk abt resources >.<;" haha actually... no. I wish, al, I know I got it from youtube or my moms advice (she is better than my with internet stuff, fighting the sterotipe)
".right dont ever thing to apologize abt talking in comments at least with me,, as u can see i cannot shut up and i write a lot (ーー;)" Me too sometimes... and you've lovely to talk too, so thanks! Nice people are the best... I'll keep track of your new games...
Also, this is maybe too personal, but, are you making game as a living? if so, do you have any advice? Just a asking because I'll love to do it in a future... maybe
yeah no i feel that! there isnt enough hours in a day eh ~o~ good on u for focusing on art and stuff tho! i kno it can be hard *stares at all the art things im not doing* i'd love to say its bc of my program but rly i didnt do a lot before it as well,,,
im glad your mom supports u!! seeing that your mom played your game in your game's description made me so happy! my mom supports me in that she wants me to do what i want to do but she doesnt actually have an interest in my art or games (maybe for the best? im not out to her soooo) but anytime she does, i feel so tender (*˘︶˘*).｡*♡
aw! i'm following u as well! cant wait to see what oth3r games u make!!
sadly no.. its just a hobby but i also wish to work in games or just support myself by making my own games.. if thats something u wish to do in the future— good luck! i know it can be possible <3
*stares at all the art things im not as well doing* Hahaha
Yes, having a supportive mom is the best. Sometimes she is oversupportive and encurages me to do crazy things... And yes I get that feeling of dont want our mothers see some stuff, I'm bi and out but I still feel embarased when she sees my "gay" art hahaha...
I'm wainting for more games as well!
