Hello, world! šŸŒ

ā€œHello, worldā€ is a common first program when learning to code, typically just a line or two that displays ā€œhello, worldā€ to ensure everything is set up correctly. It felt likeĀ a fitting title for my first blog post (a reflex from the old programmer in me, I guess).

So, why a blog?

Good question! Letā€™s be real; no one will read this (except my wife). I can practically hear the sound of crickets chirping as I'm typing this. Disregarding that sad fact, hereā€™s why Iā€™m starting a blog:

  • Writing is supposed to be good for you (or so I hear).
  • It helps me learn.
  • Itā€™s a place to collect ideas and concepts I find interesting.
  • I can use it like a game dev diary.

Why in English?

Since Iā€™m a Swede, writing in Swedish would make sense. I chose English, though, because itā€™s the go-to language in the gaming world. Most of the podcasts, books, and resources I follow are in English, and even local game events here in Sweden often draw non-Swedish speakers, so we all end up speaking English anyway.

Whatā€™s next?

This blog and this new website mark a new chapter for Babard Games. Iā€™m launching the site with just one blog post (not counting this one), but more content is on the way! I plan to maintain a game dev diary for my next game, which will be featured on the blog.

And thatā€™s it for this post! If youā€™ve read this far, Iā€™m impressed and hereby bestow upon you a free copy of one of my games! Just email me at anton@babard.com to claim it. Quick note: I can only ship within the EU, and thereā€™s only one game up for grabs, so act fast!
