Who remembers using Rmorf back in the day? :) (MikroBitti 6-7/1994, roughly translated here & there by me...) "Richard Goedeken is an 18-year-old from Iowa, USA, who just finished high school..." --- "Goedeken is currently one of the most famous programmers in the state, as Rmorf has garnered a lot of fame, which is unlikely to hinder his future career as a programmer" --- "In true American fashion, Richard founded his own company, Fascinations Software, at the age of 16, of which he serves as CEO. The company's offices are currently located in the Goedeken family home, and the CEO's mother usually answers the phone, but many large software companies have started from a similar situation." --- "Richard Goedeken's advice for backwood hackers: 1. Learn Assembly and C. They are the best languages. 2. Make sure there is demand for your program before you start working 3. Learn your programming language well. 4. Most importantly: never give up. When it feels like your program will never work and all the problems and bugs are piling up, that's when you need determination the most. "

🧠 = 𝐒𝐈𝐓 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐒𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓 = 🧠 Several years ago, I did my first SIT with a SCIENTIST.  The topic was 'Intro to AI.' It went EXTREMELY well! My goal is to allow people to learn how things work without the BS. I'm selling nothing, I want nothing, and I'm not a marketer or salesperson. I simply like teaching. I took 1 hour: ⏱️ 20m to set up a basic understanding ⏱️ 20m of real-world examples ⏱️ 20m of Q&A This format seems to work very well. This SIT with a SCIENTIST will be about building a Video Game company. Not about how to make video games, that will be a separate talk. This is laser-focused on how the biz itself works, bottom up, top down. I've invented a LOT of video games, I built my own Dev house, and Publishing company, and I made games for Mattel, Disney, Activision, and many others. I also made, A LOT OF MONEY. So, what time, and where? If you want to join, post your Time Zone below, I'll try my best to pick the time that works for the most people. Post the day before. We will probably use Zoom, since I pay them an ungodly amount of money for their crappy software. Boy, do they need Game programmers to fix their User Experience, right?

This is one of the coolest activations (and videos) I've ever seen for a video game! Michael Krivicka's video went viral, and we'll discuss it this Thursday on my podcast. Episode 7 of the "Level Up Your Wealth" podcast is live January 16th at 9pm EST. Click the link in the comments to register, and remember to bring your questions! In your opinion, how do IRL stunt videos like this compare to videos created with AI?

When magazines for kids were really popular, I worked many years for Crayola Kids Magazine (published by the Meredith Corporation.) I designed, wrote, and created a lot of illustrated activities for the publication. But what became my signature activity were the many "ROW-ROW-ROW" features that appeared in almost every other edition. This pirate row game is my favorite. There's something in common-up & down, left & right, and diagonally. Can you find them? #pirates #characterdesign #gamedesign #magazine
