Hello y'all. My name is Slim Shady Lucas, 27, brazilian and still living here. I first started coding as soon as puberty hit me, so I tried to make a few games in the next few years after, because I wanted to create games since I played Sonic The Hedgehog as a child. After a long list of failures, I thought I was a different kind of dumb and gave up, pointing my attention exclusively towards learning music. Although I never finished any game I started, I became a pretty decent musician.

I could write a lot of stuff here about what happened between that and now (I actually did, but erased it), but let's focus on the necessary parts for now.

In the pandemics, I lost my job at a restaurant and was trying to find something to make money. I wanted to work with something I truly liked, so I started looking for options. Honestly, there wasn't much, and after throwing some ideas away, I thought it would be nice to code again. And then I came back to coding, but now as a web developer.

Nowadays, I still work as a web developer, but I want to go back to making games. So, mostly of the stuff I intend to share here is about experiment with game development. As for what I expect to find, I'm looking forward for any good advice you can give me on development in general, cause I believe that almost any knowledge can be transferred to another contexts.

That's all, folks.
P. S.: Sometimes I call myself a Ninja. For obvious reasons.
