Hello to all readers...

This is my first post in my Blog, I just wanted to say something about this blog and myself...

I called this blog "Game Developer in The Works" since this what I consider myself to be at this point in my life...
Recently I've graduated from University and got my B.Sc. in Computer Science, and I didn't know what to do next.
Up until that point, my life was pretty planned out, "go to school, got to university, get a job" and now I actually had to think about what I'm going to do with my life...
Well, I decided to merge my interest in video games and my profession and decided to become a game programmer...
As I found out becoming a game programmer is harder than I thought, especially due to the fact that I live in a country where games are just not developed, that's a problem right there...

But I decided not to give up on my goal, so now I'm working at a full time job as a programmer in a mainstream company, gaining experience and cash, hopefully I will eventually
have enough knowledge and cash to move to a place where I can pursue this goal...

Meanwhile, I'm not just sitting around waiting for the game industry to come up to me and ask me to join them, I'm trying to do the best I can from where I'm at...
I've recently joined an Indie-Game development company named FarFallen, I'm a Lead Programmer in that company and I hope to learn as much as I can while I wait for my opportunity...

So this blog will follow me in my attempt in making it as a Game Developer, it will also serve as an inside look into my side in the development of FarFallen (without disclosing any inside info of course :) )

I hope that some readers will stay along for the ride...
