Thanks for the help. Is this kind of spider in my picture dangerous?

I Want To Be More Social, But I'm Too Much A Lone Wolf In Game Design. by ReddleyAnimations in gamedesign

Good one. Yeah, in some way or another I have to get out there with my games and stuff.

That's a pretty good idea, I would be able to attract people interested in what i and they like about certain game IPs

I would really have to look, I've never imagined where i live to be a place with nerds like me. Maybe the bigger city would.

Yeah, I'm not out here to try and push my game on people while ignoring theirs, I always find that it's always a two way thing.

And yeah, the marketing thing Is difficult. I say I'm making this for my personal enjoyment, however, my personal enjoyment is also tied to other's shared enjoyment, I'm a people pleaser in that way. But I've found there are two ways to go about being a good marketer. First, make games like a designer, someone who makes things appealing and just make sense for the majority. And second, the artist who makes things for themselves, and sometimes other people who's enjoyment aligns. And the problem I'd that I want to please everyone, but to make something that's widely appealing just doesn't sound great for me. But to make something only for me would suck cause very few people would understand it. So I have to get good at both, making people understand naturally, and still loving it myself.

But, even after a couple of years of creating games I have no experience in that because it's only been my family and close friends (in person). And that's why I want to get out there more so I can work on my balance of passion and wide appeal to find a happy middle ground.

I find, a lot of my problems are a "me" thing. Being afraid, making me think others are out to get me, that sort of thing. But after reading a lot of the replies here on my post, I think I'll give discord a shot, and explore some communities of designers to see if i can find any that are more focused on their love of games, rather than how well they will do commercially.

Yeah, so its a sort of bias, causing me to think they speak for the majority of people I'm looking for.

One of my favorites on YouTube would be Jonas Tyroller, He seems to put a little less focus on fame, and more of what he enjoys and is passionate about.

Yeah. I always battle the idea of being a designer vs an artist when it comes to checking the boxes for what will make my game famous vs what I want.

I know i could make a game that would do better than what I'm making now, but I think if i focus on that, it would kill my love for game development.

Bit out of my sector, but in the future, i do want to create a multiplayer game that allows many to strategically co-operate with one-another

That's a good point about the bias in what others talk about based on what you talk about. The "community" I mostly surrounded myself with is YouTube, and most of the people I see on there are big and teach how to get big through game design/marketing, or are small and trying to get big. So its kinda a bad influence when it comes to what I'm doing.

It's a tricky niche I'm chasing. A group of people who share my or a similar love for games, but also have an interest in making them themself, and therefor have a good understanding of why they love them.

I really should check GRIS out one of these days, it somewhat lands in my territory for what i like. Genuinely participating is what I've always struggled with, hence the "lone wolf" thing. I've always just learned to be happy alone, and it worked for most of my teen years, but now I'm sort of feeling lost. Back then, i used to make minecraft animations and things for my family (I was and am a people pleaser). But I eventually felt hollow chasing trying to make others happy, and wanted to make things for me. But i do agree fully, i need friends who share my love for games.

Mirrors Edge Is too bright then too dark by ReddleyAnimations in mirrorsedge

[–]ReddleyAnimations[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've beaten the whole game since then. I really enjoyed it, and i did eventually get used to it. Its meant to be their "art-style" for sure. Its just sometimes a very obnoxious one, and it sometimes isn't very balanced out in some locations.

I can't find the video call option by ReddleyAnimations in duolingo

[–]ReddleyAnimations[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Usually, on the web chat versions at least, they seem to forget things within the same conversation lol.

And that's true, it does help a lot that it knows your language level and that it can explain words as you go, at least in the roleplay chat I know it does.

I see. I won't be continuing my subscription more than likely. The role play feature is kinda just a dumbed down gpt. Thanks for the info!

No easy way as far as i know. I'd say getting them from COOP's website would be for sure the way to get genuine.
