DMDSkunkworks is the passion project of a single Dad and his two young sons, Mason and Domi. Any donations, youtube revenue, etc goes directly into the boys colledge fund.
My boys and I have always enjoyed playing video games together, one day Mason asked why we dont just make our own games... I couldn't come up with a good reason why we shouldn't try, and DMDSkunkworks was born. We love doing game jams, the boys contribute their ideas, drawings, voices, playtesting, hilariously honest feedback, and random sounds they find themselves capeable of making... Then its up to me to do the rest!
I am by no means a professional at any aspect of game development. Even 'Noob' might be giving me too much credit. When we started this project - at the onset of COVID quarantines - Programming, 3D modelling, sound design, game engines, etc were all new to me. Our first 'game' took me 14 long days, and set a record for how many browser windows I could simultaneously have open... but at the end of it, we had made a working thing, and we were hooked.
Since then the boys are contributing more and more to each attempt. Our brainstorming sessions when a gamejam theme is released are great family fun and it brings me a lot of joy to witness their creativity and problem solving.
Follow along on our journey into game development! Perhaps, if this project doesn't go down in a flaming pile of spaghetti code and duplicate vertices, we'll stumble on something worthy of a commercial release.
... and if you happened to land on this page because you decided to support a random jam game we made, know that you will have contributed to these guys, one day, doing their first keg stand.
Thanks
