So finally I got sometime to write about "my" journey with my Gamedoora. It's been a long time I have written something and yeah I wanted to write something about Gamedoora since long time but "lots of excuses" came as a blocker.
Let's start about GameDoora or like we call it GD in short form. Well if you want to read some marketing related thing or platform functionality related thing then please stop and go back to whatever you are doing because I am not going to talk about that at all, for that we have master and also Guru Gulab Khatri (don't know when he will have time for GD).
How GD was born?
GD "actually" (not mera boyfriend hai wala actually) came out of few crazy people's mind who thought that GameDoora the company or platform would be opening doors to the industry which is closed. ( definitely creative industry, and yeah it is closed. I don't see any kind of collaboration in that otherwise I would have thought about making an awesome game from my favourite movie Mohenjo-Daro). Also we all believed that each and every individual has some kind of creative idea in his/her mind but somehow it is not coming out, sometimes because of lack of resources or fear of acceptance of that idea and lots of other reasons and we wanted to provide them a platform where they can come and find the resources, find the collaboration from like minded people and boom give life to their ideas.
Why I am inclined more towards Gamedoora?
What should I say, since childhood all I wanted to do is business ( in Gujarati Dhandho). When I was working as a Medical Representative I wanted to start my own company, same idea came to me when I was system admin. But everytime I was denied due to lack of resources and sessions on the topic "job is safe". ( Safezone is the more dangerous than friendzone, because it makes you handicap from your mind.) .Then one fine day I met a master yoda kind figure who is also my master Mr. Devang Parikh and he just threw the idea of GD to me and I remember I was like I will work after hours ( as I was insomniac at that time) and I would do anything to be a part of this venture and I was in. Because he and I have same motto, there is always a place for the family. As my previous manager, mentor and master I listens to him very carefully because he has mastered an art of "how to tackle people with different mindsets". (In my case I would just say GTFO to the people I don't like.)
Along with above typical Gujarati business desire one more thing which is keeping me attached to GD is lots of stories I read/heard till date. Well I believe when it comes to story or theme of a game/animation project we have lots and lots of characters and well written novels/books. As an example as a kid I was always thinking about making animation based on "Cheeku" from champak comics and definitely first love was panchtantra stories.
And the most important reason I am loving GameDoora is that I am getting unlimited supply of free beers. ;)
What I have done in GameDoora and what I do at GameDoora?
Honestly nothing yet. I am just a guy checks that server is running fine and site is up and running that's it. In designing and marketing aspects I am Jon Snow ( I know nothing.), so I just keep myself out of that areas. I just like to sit in front of my beast (name of my home pc) checking some code ( again I am Jon Snow in coding too) and try to understand wtf it is going to do and how the hell it consuming this much amount of resources.
What is the future of GameDoora? or what are your hopes about GameDoora?
I don't hope, I work and As per alchemist “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” So I just want lots and lots of success for GameDoora. GameDoora definitely has a potential and it just requires more marketing or in today's words "outreach".
How GameDoora changed your life or in other words how it affected your life?
GameDoora affected my life a lot, my both girlfriends left me alone to suffer in this cruel world and now I am single and blah blah blah. Jokes apart, because of GameDoora I am feeling bit responsible in every aspect of my life. Like take an example I am working on a customer case in my current job and I can really feel his pain when he says my production is down and my users are affected. Also when it comes to wasting money I think twice and think about utilizing same amount somewhere. GD helped me to change my self from always abusing (cursing loudly specifically when angry) to a polite guy who just doesn't give shit about other's shit.
The main thing GameDoora gave me is feeling responsible for my behaviour in public as well for the people who are attached to me or atleast get affected by actions.
What about family support for GameDoora?
My sister's opinion matters a lot to me and when I told her about GD she was like go for it, at one moment I was hesitant and had doubts in inital stage but she told "If you love GD then you need to stop overthinking and give your best." Dad is still skeptical about GD because as an accountant he only see profit /loss. But to my surprise mom came as rock solid support and said "Do whatever you want to do, so that you don't regret it not doing it.".
Ahh, it's too hectic to write all these things. So now Ravi questioning Dave session is over, it's time for Manchester United v/s Liverpool and GGMU. Will be back someday with other stories related to GameDoora or Sidrav (I am definitely serious about it) or if I have any food business.
