Q: Will everyone make a game together at all, if so when?🤔

You've probably said this somewhere but, what do we use for meetings?🤔

Hey everyone! We're kicking off our weekly Game Dev Hangouts next Wednesday. There is no set agenda for now. Just drop in, hang out, and chat with me about anything related to gaming or game development. You can also ask questions and get help or feedback with your projects or with getting started. Check the Calendar tab for your local time, and hit the 👍 if you’re interested in joining!

Hi everyone, I’m Daniel – solo dev working on an emotional-survival game called Sappy. For the last months I’ve been building a 2D top-down game where the whole world visually reacts to the main character’s emotions. Sappy has two core emotional states — Sad and Happy — and the environment shifts with him: colors, textures, lighting, even movement abilities (lower jump when sad, more strength when angry, etc.). My goal is to explore a message about accepting every part of yourself and turning emotions into mechanics. I’m doing all art, code and design solo — hand-painted textures, Unity implementation, reveal systems, emotional world states, etc. I’d love to know if the concept resonates with you as fellow devs. Any feedback, criticism, or questions are super welcome. If you’re curious, here’s the itch.io devlog with the first introduction: https://itch.io/blog/1139813/introducing-sappy-a-game-where-emotions-shape-the-world Thanks for having me here!

I have hypophantasia. That means, instead of seeing an image on your mind, if you’re lucky, you see a flicker of an image. When I was young(like 3 years old) I had at least some visuals on my mind’s eye. But school took that ability… The main problem: I cannot imagine any graphical things until I see it… So what do you think? Is this a problem for my game dev career?
