Haha this is cute. Are you Iranian?

I want to join a small group of game devs and indie artists in like a discord or something where we just post updates to our projects and occasionally collaborate together or review each others’ work. Some kind of collective idk. Does such a thing exist?? #gamedev #indiegames #solodev #indiegamedev

as a child i would catch roly-polies and build aquatic environments to try and "make them evolve". i ended up drowning them all on accident and scaring the other kids lol #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #creature

architecting a procedural evolution system sounds fun in theory, but is actually extremely painful and horrible #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #creatureart

I hate sucking at art and being a horrible story teller even though I feel like I have the substrate to do it. I make everything so literal and explainable that it just comes out like crap. Does anyone have any experience making anything good??? #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #artist #art

Haha that’s good to hear. How did you learn to make art?

These are so helpful, people really take for granted how much effort goes into making things like this

Every time I come on here I am blown away by the creative talent. I have no artistic background at all. Almost all the skill Ive developed so far is technical. Please help me lol. How do I learn to be an artist?? I started drawing at least, but its going horribly. lol #gamedev #indiegames #art

Kinda sad seeing these indie devs post their hard work on reddit to be immediately met with “AI SLOP!!!!!!” in the first comments…. … when not one single asset in the game was made with AI. seems like the same “asset flip” armchair accusations of the 2010s #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #ue5

I remember googling “evolution facts” during the dial up internet era, later my biology teacher let me borrow a book about human mutations that blew my mind trying to invoke that same sense of wonder at how creatures evolve #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #UE5 #creaturedesign #science #gamedev

completely agree, especially on Reddit this seems to be a widespread assumption. “Just immerse yourself and start speaking it, and NEVER STUDY anything” is not always the most effective approach
