Anyway,

Hi! I'm Edward Labarca.
I'm here to share Time Management Habits, Tools, and Tips to let Game Developers reach their maximum potential.

Here's a bit about me: Creating video games has always been my dream, and now, I'm here to teach others how to turn their game development dreams into reality. Here’s a glimpse into my journey:

• Published Two Games: DodgeKing & DodgeKing Deluxe On Steam
• Worked at a Double-AA Studio: Gladius Studios
• Recreated Classic Games: LBP's Kirby, Mega Man, Pokémon
• Sponsored for GDC 2023: Latam-2023 PRGDA Sponsorship
• Collaborated and Play-tested: Titles like LunarLux and The Bunny Graveyard
• Upcoming Releases: Mechamancer/Meta-Meta
• Active in the Community: Puerto Rico Game Developer's Association (PRGDA)
• Professional Software Engineer - And I started coding just two years ago (2022)!

It wasn’t always like this—pursuing video game development tends to be a common goal for many creatives. It’s the perfect outlet for blending art, logic challenges, and business development. Yet, it’s always been a daunting path, and for a long time, I strayed away from it. The fear of becoming a developer overwhelmed me, leading me to "play it safe" in life. I firmly believe I invested a lot in my engineering career, avoiding my true passion. My channel intends to share as many practical lessons as possible to garentee increased likelihood of becoming a Strong, Better, Game Developer!

To all the knights out there, challenges exist to prove your strength.
Get Up or Get Good - Both outcomes are amazing. Don't give up!
Never give up and keep going! I believe in you.

Best Regards,
Edward Labarca
