I find it easier to make meaningful relations now that I am past 30. Usually these start with doing something that really matters together and on top of that I have way better access to people who match my intelectual profile. Maybe it's simply because I am a person who goes out looking for good things to happen not wait for them to come.

Thank you for the feedback. I do agree that this is quite too simple but it's not accidentally. The reason why the tasks are so simple is because at first I want to make passersby confident within the project - that he can touch it and it will work. Show him around, let him see some naming conventions.

One of the upcoming task is to write a module that is meant to be used in two different projects - so you will have to obey some interface but on the other hand the implementation will be up to you and it will have to play well with the game you are making.

Other than that I will introduce explosions and audio to keep user engaged.

What I am trying to say there - is that I have spent more time to plan a learning curve than implementing the project itself :)

Project's motivation:

Every time I get a new job I am being thrown right into middle of the action. No tutorials, no babysitting - just a real project and a task to complete.

It is a very stressful and frustrating at the beginning - but - after a short while not only I have completed the task - but also have this feeling that in a month of practice I've learned more than in a year of solving theoretical and imaginary problems.

So - I've prepared an unfinished game - and a plot for you as a new employee.

Let me know does it work for you and what was your experience with it. I am a bit nervous as this is the first time I am trying to make something more emotionally engaging than technical documentation.

If you like the idea - I encourage you to copy all of my content - and adopt the stories for a different language. I will gladly link to different solutions.
