Anatomy of a Game Making Studio

Setting up a video game making studio is very much a personal preference thing. Some items are mandatory and some are purely to taste. Allow me give you the rundown of what mine looks like.

1. You might need something to look at when you're zoning out (or coming up with a coding solution). This Wizard of Oz inspired artwork is painted by lovely wife, Liese Chavez.
2. The second monitor is a 25 inch Dell Ultra Sharp. Those extra pixels make the difference!
3. My laptop is an Acer Nitro 5. It's great for a graphically midrange game (for 2021), but the special thing about it is the solid state hard drive. It speeds things up almost as much as more ram and fast processors do. I use the screen on it primarily to see files that I use for the project, and to look up stuff online when I'm stuck on a problem.
4. My headphones are Samson Studio Reference, SR850s. Eh, they're alright for my project. I would recommend something else if you need to block out sounds around you.
5. Notes! I make tons of notes of things I do each day on the project. This practice is helpful if you have a poor memory, as I do.
6. The desk has a motor that adjusts the height from a sitting position to a standing one (I'm probably standing as you read this).
