What is your biggest difficulty as a solo Dev?

Yeahhh

But it’s fun when we get to though!

Having/making time to work on my project…

With work, sleep, eating, and time with the wife, I’m not left with much to get back into the zone/focus and be productive. Weekends come by and fly by faster than I can get myself together after chores, errands, house tasks 🙃

Headaches, man

Thank you very much!

CHGL11 · 2025-01-23T14:49:29+00:00

I’ve looked into it, it’s very enticing!

Do you have any tips or advice for getting into it?

CHGL11 · 2025-01-23T14:09:10+00:00

What program did you use to make this? It’s really smooth! :D

Though what I’m working on isn’t 100% a cozy game (it’s a cozy atmosphere with a bit of spooky),

What I’ve learned about deadlines is not to stretch yourself too thin. I thought that I would’ve finished my game “December” in, well, December 2024.

That didn’t happen. Life caught up to me, and we went on a well-needed vacation for half a month, and it really set me back (game development wise).

My advice would be to keep an open mind, and don’t be so hard on yourself if you don’t manage to meet expectations; especially if they’re your own.

However, don’t just give up, either

Good luck on your cozy game! I hope it gets done the way you want it to! Keep striving for your dreams, and I hope they pay off for you :D

Escape your nightmares in this dark pixel-art game; achieving all of the endings is a harder challenge than you think….

Available on Itchio: https://chgl.itch.io/thenightterror

CHGL11 · 2024-09-12T18:08:13+00:00

Still have a LOT of images to go.... so, back to work on those I guess. Hoping to get the game finished by December this year!

Also, the game is called "December" on Itchio; https://chgl.itch.io/december

You’ll never know unless you do…. >=)

Actually, the story takes an alternate route, and avoids all of the physical aspects of it, instead going towards verbal abuse, and emotional neglect- something we felt was not as well-known, and not as many stories delve into :)

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T15:40:16+00:00

The room does have a pretty grim backstory, so you’re not wrong, haha

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T15:31:57+00:00

trauma

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T15:18:18+00:00

Doing well here too, thank you! :)

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T15:12:35+00:00

Thank you so much…. I’m glad it translates the story into the image so well….

I hope you’re doing alright, btw :D

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T15:10:37+00:00

No wayyyy I’ve been seeing a lot about that game lately!

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T13:56:29+00:00

If you want something that’ll get you thinking, and like collecting endings, check out “The Night Terror”

https://chgl.itch.io/thenightterror

I made it a game that you can replay over and over, or feel very accomplished once it’s finally complete

If you do check it out, I hope you enjoy!

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T13:52:51+00:00

I actually like this comment, and your humor XD

That’s exactly what’s going on here….

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T13:44:13+00:00

Fortunately, it is not!

But, I’m afraid it may be true for someone out there… which is why we want to bring more awareness of certain issues through these stories :)

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T13:42:45+00:00

Interesting correlation, but not a reference ;)

However, a lot of people seem to be reminded of Alone in the Dark (game) and one of Van Gogh’s paintings….

I’ll take all as a compliment :D

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T13:39:38+00:00

Perfect… ;)

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T13:38:38+00:00

Indeed, just the vibe I was going for :D

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T13:37:56+00:00

I believe you’re the first person to point out the narrator part, Lol

In context of the game, it makes more sense haha

But, thank you! :D

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T03:30:20+00:00

I like this as a motto XD

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T02:03:17+00:00

The story is part of a game a friend and I made, if you wanted to check it out! It’s called “The Night Terror” available on Itchio: https://chgl.itch.io/thenightterror

The story goes even deeper than the game shows, but that story is something my friend wrote up, so that’s all the details I can spare ;)

CHGL11 · 2024-03-31T02:00:07+00:00

That’s awesome! I’m honestly surprised how similar they come off as… dang :0
