haha, right? What an odd place to catch up with an old acquaintance :)
If you ever want to go down the full stack or front end dev path, just drop me a line. I’ll give you my personal work email in a DM and you can reach out for answers to questions/guidance. Been in that industry for almost 27 years now, and picked up a thing or two that might help. ;)
One of the games I’ve helped with is more of a tool, and it’s for D&D GM’s believe it or not ;) I don’t do tabletop as much as I used to anymore, but I got into this project because my regular group wanted to try and play remotely and they found this in pre-release and I tracked the owner down and offered to help work on the features my gaming group needed, pro-bono.
He took me up on my offer, and I’ve been helping out here and there ever since :)
It’s called “Game Master Engine” (GME), feel free to check it out, there’s a free version of it up, and if you want to GM/DM a game and invite others into it, then you can pay the GM license for it (absolutely no obligation to purchase this btw, I don’t get any of the proceeds, only buy if you want/enjoy it), and there’s a couple DLC modules for it now.
The owner (Dan the DM) is a super cool and chill dude. He’s done the vast majority of work on this thing, I just jump in if there’s something difficult they’re trying to do and need help with, and also provide technical guidance and direction on the project whenever he needs as his background isn’t really on the engineering side.
Next year, planning to go in with Dan and work on some actual games (instead of tools). I’ve done a few F2P games released in the wild years ago in Unity 3D, but never a concerted effort with an established shop to do a game from scratch. :) I’m looking forward to it, and working with Dan in a more side-by-side capacity.
