You're awesome for doing this, for creating a cool game with your son!
I for one love playing and discovering games with my Junior (9 now) and I do try to also explain some of the ways games work... just to nudge his curiosity.
Also, used a bit of Scratch to show him a bit of game creation work, but seems I've to wait a bit more until he gets his creation drive going. :D
Also... Thank you a lot for bringing the series to our attention, will def check it out, especially because I am considering Psychonauts as one of the games we need to experience together.
Will keep following your dev journey! & hope one day will start working on my own... and why not involve my little guy too ;D
Thanks so much for the comment ROP, it was a lovely boost to my day.
Every kid is different. Right now I’m actually struggling to remember how I got Luke into all of this in the first place so I can try the same approach with my second eldest. The only advice I can offer is: don’t push too hard and keep it fun.
I was lucky (and unlucky!) to make the classic mistake of being too passionate about learning guitar when Luke was little. Lesson learned, he doesn’t play guitar today 😅
Hehe, I guess we just need to be patient with them and accept them for who they are and what they like. Investing time into their passions, when they coincide with ours or not.
If we do this now, most of the time I hear, with growth they will start investing their time back into us, our passions. :) It's not a given, but quite probable.
