http://www.yotesgames.com/During my freshman year at college I taught myself the magical art of mobile game development and started making games to build the experience I needed in order to make my dream games a reality.
Starting an Indie Dev career in college so there's no need to be a starving artist. I'm currently making a Pokemon-style game called Battle Gem Ponies with the Unity Engine.

Battle Gem Ponies 1 Year Later...
http://rainbowdash.net/url/876219
Check out this video about the development journey so far and the upcoming changes to how we do things here at YotesMark
If you're in a rush, the short summary is that the game won't be out for another 12-16 months, the merch store is closing in October so if you want extra shirts better grab 'em now, the physical Kickstarter rewards will start going out in October (excluding all the stuff that won't come 'til release), and we have far reaching plans to make Battle Gem Ponies a full-fledged series when this is all said and done.
We're looking forward to all the updates to come over the next year and are eternally grateful for every backer's help in making it possible. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876220Saturday, 10-Sep-22 05:58:35 UTC from web -

The Battle Gem Ponies Combat Demo
Our first public upload in 3 or 4 years after starting this entire project over after tragically losing every project file for the 2017 build. Since then this game has gone from a solo-indie project to a team-powered labor of love and it's looking all the better for it!
Go ahead and give it a try! http://rainbowdash.net/url/835730 http://rainbowdash.net/url/875927Saturday, 05-Jun-21 19:53:33 UTC from web -
Ohhh, it's coming... FINALLY after months of delays, the Combat Demo is nearly complete!
You'll be playing the new and improved Battle Gem Ponies within a week!
Come bask in the pre-launch hype with us on this month's gamedev Blog! ~Monday, 31-May-21 21:08:03 UTC from web -

@nerthos For me, programming is a means to an end. If I could get the same work done with just menus, drag&drop, and sliders, I'd prefer it. My favorite things about Unity are the plugins and editor.

Some pretty cool prizes were given away at my college's BYOC this year. I won a Logitech gaming headset from the raffle. Never had non-earbuds before. This could be cool. http://rainbowdash.net/url/837821

@nerthos I know a lot of electronics majors who have certainly shortened their lifespans with all the work professors stack on.
