New Game - Facebots Sleep Time

 


I am happy because I was able, this end of year, not only to finalize Cause the Numbers but also this new game i started in June, I think, and stoped because I needed to study.

    It's a concept that I really liked, inspired in the classic game "Who's Who?". "Who's Who?" is so cool, even knowing that it is broken - I mean, if two experient people play, the one who starts have like twenty times more chance to win - but anyway, it is so fun to play with little children. I played with my son a lot - can't forget when he asked in his first turn if my man was bald - the are only two bald guys, and mine was one - so with three years old he beat me in two turns and we laughed a lot. And I wanted to derive something from it, so I did.

    Now I liked this concept so much that I think I'll extend it to a board-like game - that could perfectly be an actual board game, like Battle of the CookBees, my first game.

    So probably I'll be releasing FaceBots Battle anytime soon!

    I think an important thing is to recognize inspiration. Inspiration is not necessarily a moment when you have an "a-ha" idea. It's the feeling I had playing with my son, and the wish to extend that feeling to something of my own creation. Which in the end I did, many years later.

Continuing...

 Continuing the reasoning of last post...


Another effect of this programming journey is that it encouraged me to go back to college.

I’m doing mathematics college on internet – the exams are in person. I believe I am going to be a math teacher. That is the plan, since a few years ago. Some people may say I’m too shy for that, but what do I care for what “some people” think?

Other reason for choosing maths – besides the fact I like it – is that there Is a shortage of teachers, so they hire college students who have at least one fourth of the grade done. At least it has been so for many years.

It’s always surprising how much can get in the way when you are almost there, but I’m mostly fine now.
