From Miner to Game developer

From Miner to Game developer

Aug 22, 2024

Good morning, good afternoon and good day all,

I have been in mining for over 20 years. I have seen it all, done it all and gave it all up. I am now venturing into game development and trying to teach my 2 children that anything is possible if you just try.

Over the last two months I have started developing a few mining related games as proof of concepts. I have developed a Minesweeper like game called Ore Sweeper and I have also created a fully fledged mining simulator called well... DMS Mining Simulator. This aims at teaching the basics of the mining value chain to non mining people, and mining people alike.

As with everything, I need to some help to keep this part time venture up and running and assist in getting a full time developer (from part time) to assist me in expanding the game.

You can follow me on my YT channel at.

If you believe in making a difference to someone else, and help them in the process, buy me a coffee!

Looking forward to this journey with you all!

Paul

PS: My kids are 9 and 12 and I want to teach them that making a change takes effort, every single day. I do coding on my app for 6 hours a day, then do my normal mining job for 8. I want to get to a point where I don't need a normal job and only do this.
