Hello!

Hi, I'm Fibb! I'm a programmer and game dev student trying to learn art and animation. I started a new YouTube channel a couple weeks ago, and I'm hoping to grow it to the point where I can have a community to support the development of indie games.

This is a new chapter in my life where I'm trying to be more present online, and reignite some old passions of mine. I'm finding it to be really insightful, but I'm a little worried that once next semester starts and I get overwhelmed by schoolwork again, I won't have time to work on any of this stuff. I know 21 isn't super late to start learning new things, but I feel like I need to rush it along a little. I honestly don't really know what to do with my life, any normal job I've had just never fit. Even a job at my favourite game studio wouldn't satisfy me.

Is anyone else in a similar situation? I'd love to hear about it. Also let me know if you have any advice! My plan so far is to create 3 YouTube channels:

1. FibbWare

High effort videos about coding, game retrospectives, or the Source Engine, deconstructing game mechanics from a technical perspective

2. FibbDev

Devlogs and update videos about game dev and games I'm working on

3. FibbScraps

More personal update videos, memes, and whatever I feel like making

So far, I've made a couple videos for FibbScraps (except the channel is actually called FibbWare right now, I'll have to rename it when I make the channels). Does this seem like a good strategy? I kind of feel like FibbWare is too general. I might just make it about Source games, but that feels limiting ya know?

Holy yap sesh this is long, sorry. I doubt anyone's reading all this, but I kinda just wanted to get it out there. I've been doing that a lot lately.
