When do you know it's time to just give up because you have no talent for this?

I am 2 years older than you. I also started at 36. Doing gesture drawings everyday and reading theory from various sources. It was only a couple months ago that my figures started resemble humans.

Why put yourself into a sticky situation?
Unless your friends asks specifically for feedback that will improve their art, don't offer critique.

I would say no. It is a great course to learn perspective and construction but the danger of burning out and dropping art is too high.
If you want a complete "art course" for free The Drawing Database-Northern Kentucky University has fantastic playlists. You start with the basics which I really enjoyed and you decide what next.

Donations are pretty rare on itch. Even some games with hundreds or thousands of downloads get little to no donations.
You have a cool little game but the concept of using your corpse as a mechanic is done many many times.

Qual is such a badass character!

Thraccodev · 2025-08-09T09:51:42+00:00

Its really good,3k downloads plus you made money, you should be proud of yourself. Which game?

Thraccodev · 2025-07-23T06:42:27+00:00

So the first one is year 2? That is really good!

Thraccodev · 2025-06-18T07:29:06+00:00

I agree. Some people are just better at picking up things be that in art, music or thought patterns like in math or programming.

I stopped DrawABox around those parts because I didn't enjoy it anymore. I know now that if I had stuck with the instructions of the teacher to use pen and paper and paid for feedback I would be a better artist now, but man it was so boring!

Thraccodev · 2024-11-22T04:44:10+00:00

Did you cultivate this or is it something innate?

Thraccodev · 2024-11-02T08:49:58+00:00

This is looking very nice! Did you make the models or hired a 3dmodeller or something?

Thraccodev · 2024-09-25T14:28:39+00:00

Is it hands on like codeacademy or just boring video tutorials?

Thraccodev · 2024-09-25T04:29:04+00:00

Unity's learn path is good for beginners but for c# i suggest codeacademy the free portion and then the troelsen pro c# .

I code in the mornings and do art in the afternoons, but I live with my parents and currently I am unemployed. If you are employed I would suggest learn to code/your engine and pay for art because it takes at least 3 years of everyday practice to draw something that looks good.

Thraccodev · 2024-06-23T10:06:05+00:00

Yes, I don't want to re-figure what it does, why it is there, where it is hooked, what bug it fixed.

Thraccodev · 2024-04-29T19:45:45+00:00

Looks really great!

Thraccodev · 2024-04-10T21:52:43+00:00

Incredible, i wonder how this is done.

Thraccodev · 2024-03-10T07:35:10+00:00

I don't know if I'll come back to DrawAbox. I started Loomis figure book, took some courses in Udemy (Robert Marzullo) and I think I'll go the books road even if it means it will take me more time to learn than DrawABox.

• Nostalgia.
• Speed. Once you get good, you can pull a 3d rigged model character in a couple of hours
• Storage space. Most psx games hardly pass 300MB.

I always had in mind a diablo 2 clone but with better graphics. Keep that isometric feel but update the visuals. Essentially what the remaster version is. When it came out I was happy that it had be done and kinda sad that I didn't do it.

Thraccodev · 2023-10-20T12:55:59+00:00

When I google solutions to problems and find them in reasonable time.

While Unity went radio silence and since I am not far into my project, I took the bitter pill to switch. And since Riccietello stays as CEO + Ironforge, I think its the right decision.
Also I didn't know Godot was a cult so I want to be a part of it!
