Hello Folks

Hello folks, My name is Blessan Babu Mathew.
I finished my engineering and now work as web developer. I aspire to get into the game industry.
As a kid, the only thing I was really into and good at was video games. I always wanted to be game developer but I always had this feeling that game developers are these really smart guys who started making games when they were still in there diapers.
So I never really tried or made a research. Then I went to college for engineering. I was kinda ok in the programming department after my degree. But to be frank I never really was confident about being a programmer. Cause all I've ever done is, simple class, database programming. So when I passed out, it was year 2009. Recession was making things really hard for programmers. At that moment, only web developers were getting hired. So I learned PHP and got on job at a local firm.
After working there for 6 months, I started having my own project on live servers. My confidence in programming pretty much went up. Since then I always felt kinda in the wrong place. Every single minute I get as free time, I use it to read about games. Thais when I actually started to dig in about how games are made.
After reading a coupla articles I felt like a real dumbass. You don't need to be a drawer or a little genius. Find your strong point and work hard on that. I should started my research at least when I was in college. Ah, all in right time I guess.
Ever since then I started on searching from where to start. Kinda did a lot searching on that. So I did do a lot of stuffs for a coupla days like IRRlicht, Direct X. At the end I ended up on UDK. So I decided to focus on that.
So my future post will be my advances in UDK. Ill try to post tutorials, experiences etc. This post was a introductory post to let you know my background. So until my next post. Take care
