Inspiration , Vision & Will
One Man Team/ 2023
Hello World !
I am Konstantinos Alexiou (aka Alcosta). I m walking on my 35th year of my life ,coming straight from a little town of Greece called Drama.
Yep!.! I was born in Drama , in 19th of March 1990...
Glad and grateful when i m thinking of 90's , those "Messenger Angels" first games of mine , on huge Atari machines , from accepted the currency of Drachmas then, the sound of the coin falling as the machine, to the typing of your 3 initials when you reached a high score on board.
This passion , that kind of childhood...
Still remember like yesterday the Christmas of 97' that i skipped a night sleep cause of waiting my brand new SNES console with Metal Gear game.
I achieved my own PC exactly in the first of the year of 2000 .
Therefore i m a "Zealot" Gamer with almost testing or playing every game i ll meet ,always fall for Lineage II, , an MMO RPG game i m playing sometimes in private servers even now, just to remember this feeling.

BORN THIS WAY / 2019
In the season that the Covid-19 created a quarantine section globally, i decided to get into the depths of Web Development . My enthusiasm about coding put me into starting getting learning HTML , CSS & Javascript i have created my own websites following tutorials and AI guidance.
Although i was always feeling like missing one part ... An important one ...

TARGET LOCKED / 2023
My next steps had led me to the Netherlands , where they blessed me with a new life. Since i settled in this beautiful country (plus some of my "search for more" virus) , for setting up a website ,drove me into some crazy thoughts about creating a browser game using only HTML CSS and JavaScript once more.
I was following with loyalty every tutorial and advice from AI Guide ,so after 5 months i built a structure of a Ludo-alike game containing a quiz , pawns and a hand-painted spiral board . The structure and the logic had almost finished and that was really had pushed me hard into Game Development .
After studying via Coursera i got my fist Javascript Course Certification from Scrimba and i decided to move on with Unreal Engine(5.4) a platform that i m still using frequently.
-------------------------------
After rapidly saw this miracle platform i had to start learning about . This led me to "watch the house from the base" .
Many new things that set me more into Development and Design i achieved 6 more (so far...) Certifications from Epic Games , on Video Game Design , Unreal Engine Fundamentals , Unreal Engine Level Design Fundamentals ,Unreal Engine Blueprint Scripting ,Visual Development & Audio Design and User Interface (UI) in Game Design.
I m simultaneously studying how to use C++ instead of Blueprints via Coursera Course once more (University Of Michigan) and offcourse keep it up with Epic's Courses.
I have created some stocktaking, 7 Different(3 Unfinished) Games Logic , Levels for them (or not) , I m creating also 3DModels (Animated or not) which some i m also releasing them almost free on FAB.COM .

My "Muses"
|
According to the ancient Greek religion and mythology the Muses were the inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and the arts.
Every human has "Muses" at my beliefs . From some of them you can learn a lot , some of them can teach you a lot(Yes in most of the cases there is a difference). Finally some of them just give you what you want without any other interactions . Anyway... I Thank you All ! |
My Vision
|
..The vision is always foreseeing something, that with a plan and some ++ effort, can be achieved!
Otherwise is just a dream... Vision such mine as every other Game Developer is always to give the best we have got. Totally new on that , but that's fine... Since i remember my self everything was matter of embracing that "You don't know a thing. Listen first , Speak later". Now also having my own knowledge i can combine ideas ,visions and any procedures i used to struggle, to do them faster and more efficiently . So in a later part of my life which i would like so much to achieve ASAP , to do my own tutorials about every difficulty i confronted, find (as hard as it can be) maybe 1-2 Comrades to share this God-work , creating the most qualified, stable and safe components that everyone can have and use them for their future projects , Q&As and a bunch of all other "Side Quests" scheduled for involving or skill improving ourselves into that "Game" we call Life... |
Source of Will
|
My Will Power can be from everywhere and every single thing .
I could start mentioning the inspiration that you must find inside yourself(even via your muses), that's always attached on that , but all this wouldn't be achieved if you had to do this only for yourself. Some Characters in your real life, are those who can give you the power to "Stay Alive" , the motivation to move forward and keep doing what you forgot that you Love to do . For them you must try once more ! |
