https://t.co/h70JPy4row Getting rejected because you fit the criteria that was asked for is certainly a new one for me. The current state of #gamedevjobs is terrible for newly graduated students.

The TL;DR?

If You're Not On The List, You're Not Getting In

And by incredible amount of potential, I mean in 5 years I went from barely being able to use a PC, to get a first-class computer science degree. If that's not potential I don't know what is. #programming #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Got a rejection letter from the video game programming apprenticeship I applied to. This one really hurt. No Dev Journey video this week, I need to re-evaluate things.

[Dan Lowry @DanDevJourney]

I understand that junior positions in the game industry are basically non-existent, even less so with the amount of layoffs happening recently. But if any game development studio is looking for someone with the incredible amount of potential I have, please get in touch.

After I made my dissertation in Unity, I wanted to learn other engines. After the last few announcements, they can no longer be trusted. I'm glad I switched to Unreal and Godot. #MovingOffUnity

@romero Really great stream! I learned a lot about the process of creating a level!

@StarlightSkyes I'm starting my journey in game development and this is a sentiment I keep hearing 😅. I would have hoped things would have changed in the 10 years that this was posted.

[Dan Lowry @DanDevJourney]

I have now created a website that will showcase my portfolio. Expect weekly updates on the projects I am working on!

If you see me slacking, kick my butt in gear. (3/3)

Got a rejection letter for the Junior Audio Designer for an interview. I am not sad or disappointed, it was a long shot, and there were clearly better candidates than me.

But for the first time ever, I haven't taken rejection as a personal attack. It's lit a fire in me. 1/?

[Dan Lowry @DanDevJourney]

Starting from Monday, I am going hard on the game development front. Every week I want to output a little mini-game/design concept that can be played in
your browser. Even if it's a rip-off of something that already exists, Arkanoid clones, platformers, puzzlers, whatever. (2/?)

Thank you Charles!

My new Adventure begins! You are all Numba One in my heart! #woohoo !!!!!!!

[Dan Lowry @DanDevJourney]

https://t.co/Ub8FbSjhXt Created a demo reel that showcases the audio design choices for my dissertation project TriviaQuest!

[Dan Lowry @DanDevJourney]

Applied for a few more junior/graduate dev positions today, and will be continuing my solo projects in the meantime.

Hi! My name is Daniel. This will be my professional Twitter page that I will be using to showcase my game development journey.

Hoping to share my projects here :)
