Suffice it to say that recent events in my personal life have caused me to think about everything Orion says in this thread. If you're white and you follow me, read it. The whole thing. And don't stew in guilt about it or anything; just reflect and move different. That's all I'm asking.

Carter's Quest is legit one of the greatest accomplishments to come out of the solo-dev scene and the fact that something so spectacular, as game, as narrative, as experience, might never be completed because of lack of attention is an indictment on the way we talk about and engage with indie games.

Jamaican Patwa and Japanese, though neither exceptionally fluently. Patwa is a lot easier when I'm not thinking about it too hard; my Japanese has fallen off a lot, but I still have the basics floating around in my brain (my keigo is unfortunately super scuffed).

3 and 1 are tied, though I admit I'd probably give the edge to 3 because having someone who knows the local community and would likely help me get to know the local community is a big one for me personally. 1 trends closer to my interests but I also realize that they might not balance out. >>

all of the motions you're inputting are directly related to the state of your character the fact that you can't block while putting in a fireball or a dragon punch is part of the overall design: what you are doing excludes other options *AND* tells your opponent what you might be doing.

creating an input parser and tables of input priority and so on and so forth is not a trivial thing all of That Shit is not there to irritate you, it's there to excite you, because it's a cool feature designed to make you feel like you're embodied in and connected to the game.

It's why I say over and over again that the process is the point. A lot of people who want to want to do [insert some thing here] keep treating the process as secondary because they want the dopamine rush of being able to say "I did that" more than they value learning how best they "do that". >>

Related to my last reposts: given who we just lost I think it's really important that now, of all times, if you make stuff, take pride in making it, especially if you're Actually Making It and not using slop tools to help you. Stand proud about what you make, because it shows you put in time. (1/2)

Constantly putting down your own work or it's perceived lack of success when compared to friends & peers in your circle can genuinely create a self-fulfilling prophecy, and even negatively impact how others see their own work. "Oh of course my shitty work wouldn't get see because its not [blank]"

Absolutely true. You may not know who or what Dolly Parton knew, or have exactly the capacity she did. But you do have your own hands, your own feet, and your own knowledge. And there's plenty you can do with just that, even if it's only a little bit. Every step forward is a step forward.

Even when you've made a successful game, devs are constantly barraged by the same online people claiming they know how their game should be made. There absolutely is no winning when trying to appease backseat developers. The same devs can be laid off at a moment's notice too.
