Hello and welcome to the first chapter of my Developer’s Diary for “Afro-Future Rising”! As a solo indie developer from the southern reaches of Africa, I’m eager to share with you the steps of my unique game development journey.
The game began as a hobby project, sprouting from my deep-rooted African heritage and a fascination with futuristic worlds. It’s more than a game – it’s a personal odyssey into the realms of creativity and storytelling.
For this venture, I’ve embraced Unreal Engine 5. Its robust capabilities, combined with my skills in C++, are the cornerstone of bringing the expansive and vibrant world of “Afro-Future Rising” to life. Each element of the game is a piece of my vision, carefully crafted and woven into this digital tapestry.
As we step into the new year, I’ve made a resolution to dedicate more time to “Afro-Future Rising.” I am committing to 1-4 hours per week, primarily over the weekends, to develop this game. This commitment is a pledge to both the game and to you, the supporters and followers of this journey.
Looking ahead, I am thrilled to announce a target for releasing a demo of “Afro-Future Rising” by July 2024. This demo will be your first opportunity to experience the unique world I’m creating – a blend of African richness and futuristic intrigue.
To everyone following this journey, your support has been a beacon of motivation. As a solo developer, each message of encouragement and interest in the game fuels my passion and dedication.
