This is a blog on how I stumbled upon the vast world of Game Development and it discloses the goals of my Company FrosTech Inc! The company is going to be fully operational on my birthday 2014 March 12!
On this day, FrosTech Inc will solely deploy its first game, Robo Pal on Desura and IndieGameStand!

So, here goes the story!

Chapter 1: The Beginning!

After watching Sword Art Online (SAO), I dreamed of making games for the world to play! So, I began the journey to make games! I did a lot of studies in those moment!

- I learned arts!
- I learned digital arts!
- 3d modelling in Blender and 3DS Max (bearly!).
- Coding in C# for Unity!

I did all these just to get the feel of how it feels to make games! I learned how hard it is to learn the workflow of game development! And, finally I stuck my with coding!

Chapter 2: Choosing the Tool!

Now, I knew the workflow mostly! So, I decided to choose a tool to make games! I wanted to make SAO come to reality but, I knew I was heavily outskilled and a newbie! So, I decided to take it small!

I decided to choose a game engine for myself! Amongst those, I took a look at the following engines clearly!

1. Unity3D
2. UDK
3. Flash

Amongst these, the easiest for me to learn was Unity3d as it was very User friendly to me and all! So, I sticked with Unity! I liked UDK a lot but it was out of my league for now!

So, with Unity as my favorite, I began the learning process!!

Chapter 3: It takes Patience!

Now, I picked Unity! So, I learned the game development workflow through Digital Tutors, 3d Buzz ,The Tornado Twins and Walker Boys! All of them were professionals and taught everything clearly! Though most of the concepts was out of my league, but I dedicated myself towards it!

So, after continuous learning it all began to make sense! But, it took a lot of patience and motivation to get here!

Chapter 4: Failure is Certain!

Now, I learned a lot by now! So, its time to make games!

At least that's what I thought of! Biggest mistake of my life! I opened up a campaign on Indiegogo for a crap game! That's where I met him! A guy asked me to make games for him!

He wanted me to make a shooter for him! I said Yes! I told him my story, the same written here! I said I was a beginner and explained my skill level! He agreed and all! So, I began making the shooter!

I failed terribly on that! I wasted 3 weeks of that guy and mine!

I left him for a while! I took some extra lessons again and began my own project Robo Pal!

After a while, I contacted the same guy saying help me run a campaign on Kickstarter for my game and I'll make the shooter for you!

He agreed! This time, again, I FAILED heavily! Also wasted a total of 4 weeks of both of us!

Now, I learned that in Game Development, you shouldn't promise something that's not in your ability!

Lesson: KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND!

Chapter 5: The Journey Must Continue!

Now, I've already wasted 8 weeks of an honest guy! I didn't took money,but I took something more valuable away from him! I took 8 weeks of his time and wasted it completely!

Time is are resource that's once lost cant be reacquired like money!!

So, I continued the journey in utter disappointment knowing that I hurt someone else for my mistakes! I cannot make it upto him as what he asks is way out of my reach/level! And, I cannot live up with this guilt inside!

So, I decided to compensate with something extraordinary to him! It's something that'll change the way games will be played and all!

A path I chose must never be shattered by the shallow depths of lies! It's a foundation to be built upon trust and friendship!

Now, FrosTech Inc runs under my command! I, Suman Adhikari (Alex Frost), as head of FrosTech Inc, am already in debt! My debts are to that man of not money, but of time! One debt the company will pay forever!

I built my foundation on trust and ended all the lies no matter how hard it was! If they trust you, they'll get over it!
