The journey to becoming a full-time Game Dev

Can oftentimes feel like you're lost on a journey to Mordor

So consider me your guide

I'm basically Smeagol no no no

Wait nevermind

I'm Gandalf

So here's a map

Two full-time Game Dev land

I'm doing nothing about making games

And oftentimes offers no reward

Getting two full-time Game Dev land

We can begin building hype and

Preparing for launch

Will learn the exact steps necessary

To achieve a huge Splash on launch

Which I'm going to call the steam
