Howdy folks! Nice to see some of the old gang still knocking about Congrats on the career choice Gnome, it sounds like a wonderful use of your time and talents.
I’ve been involved in children’s playwork for a few years now, and they’ve been some of the most enjoyable years of my life. The job basically entails making children happy through creative activities, such as drawing, writing stories, making board games, composing music, performing dramas, and all sorts of other cool stuff. I feel kind of guilty getting paid to have fun, and I’ve looked forward to going to work every day for almost 5 years. I don’t even like taking holidays!
Today the kids played some of my old GameMaker games for the first time, and they really enjoyed them. They were excitedly designing their own game by the end of the session. We’re gonna crack open a new GM project tomorrow
Lovely to hear from you guys! Glad to hear people are keeping well.
That's amazing, it makes me really happy to hear that you're still helping people(children!) learn how to make games.
