#62Re: Ask HN: Any solo game developers here?
#63Is there a good resources for a non-game-dev person to learn about game-dev?
Preferably a more guided approach (starts with A, then B, then C)
I'm interested to make my own game (2D, RPG, simple games, not touching 3D) just for fun.

#64I've made about 30 games over the last few decades, and did it FT solo indie for a few years. as a PT hobby currently I'm building a new interactive sim, with game-like aspects, related to democracy. Goal for UX is a mix of education, persuasion and entertainment.
That sounds cool. Where do you publish your games? Itch or on your own website?

#65Hello! Working full time on game right now. Been working three years on this game now.
The game is a machine building game. Hoping to finish within a year.

In retrospect, I probably should not have tried to build a full game engine, which is why it has taken me so long. Oh well... Live and learn. C'est la vie.

SOSCSRPG.com is a fun little beginner tutorial IMO

#67Anybody here going to GDC? I can meet up next week if you're interested. I'll play test your game and give feedback haha. I'm based out of Palo Alto.
I am, and would like to attend a Hacker News game dev meet-up too!
It would be good to have it somewhere near the conference, but where people who haven't registered with the conference can attend.

#68Oh yeah I remember we met on video, you said how the people not chosen would be sent a link to a discord for “everyone else”, then after an email saying you went with someone else you never sent the link to the discord and then ghosted us. I made a mental note to remember that this guy was a liar who only said/did things for his own benefit.
I’m sorry that happened to you but this seems like a bit of an overreaction.

#69I'm developing a racing game as a hobby. But I generally don't discuss my game with other developers since they are not the target audience for my game. I prefer to talk with players and get 360° feedback.
I don't get the benefit of sharing the game to fellow developers.
Re: Ask HN: Any solo game developers here?
#70I see alot of comments here who are wondering if they're good enough to join. At the same time, it looks like this group is very picky about who can join. Perhaps there is another Discord someone could setup where part-time game creators could join. I am making a procedurally generated world simulation game that is a little bit too early in the process to showcase, and definitely not work full-time on, but it still h…
I'll clarify:
I created a small community where everyone knows everyone's face/name. I am really restrictive with the number of people in the server not because I want exclusivity per se, but rather that I dont want to lose the deeper connections you develop with people in a small community. There's about 10 of us total right now.
It also helps that everyone is on the same page (serious about releasing their game) so we have a common goal to work towards together (and separately). It's great, I've been running the server for almost a year now. Everyone has said it's been really motivating.
So please, email me if anyone here wants that. Otherwise, the other discord links posted here are probably a better fit for you!
