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?

Show me some of the stuff your working on beautiful, awesome, cool, imperfect, or terrible, it dosent matter.

I was thinking today that performance almost feels like the enemy of progress, wanting to show off someone your not is sure fire way to lose steam, ive been trying to let loose on performative stories I tell myself recently. Do I have to make a good post? Do I have to teach people something? Do I have to be valuable? Does my art have to be anything? Do I have to? I think a better mindset is do, do, do forget about the results just show up have fun, mess up, screw up, and do. Below just some drawings I've been having fun with for a game.

When i started this group I thought i was gonna have time to do all the things I had promised in my mind, play everyone's games and spend time giving feedback left and right, but thats not the way it happened, I have lots of things going on in life, and skool kind of became just an extra pressure. From the beginning I wanted to try this as an experiment and im glad Ive gotten to see everyone's stuff, and im still deciding what I want to do with this space if anything. But time is a factor, making games is and is going to continue being my priority as far as game development goes and its just where my heart truly is, im glad I've tried to make a community here and im glad I got to meet all yall. If you want to keep posting your games here, for now I'll keep this all up, if I decide to close down the community I'll let yall know, and I'll likely just rephrase the discord to be a place where yall can continue posting game progress and all that. Thanks for all your time you spent here!

Hi guys and gals, I figured I'd post an update of the game I've been working on. You play as a young new pup at the foster house, all that you have for company are the old dogs that are too tired to do much of anything. They're grumpy, bitter, and too old for anyone to adopt them. They're even too old to play their favorite game: Dog Cards. Your goal is to take time to get to know each of the four old dogs by letting them watch you play Dog Cards. (In the future they will have different requests depending on the dog you play with, for instance: they like seeing a certain type of victory condition, or winning with a card that is difficult to win with) Right now, I have not created the story elements, but each of the four dogs will develop a relationship with you as you play with them and you will learn more about their backstory and who they are and the cards that life has dealt them. The actual gameplay is loosely based off of a popular card game in Russia called preference. I love the game so much I wanted to take the elements that I like and combine them into a card game that does not require 3+ players to play. It's like a solitaire version of Preference but much more simplified. It's simple, beat the face up card with one of your own. It's a 16 card deck. Face value takes preference over suit: A > K > Q > J, but if you have the same face value (An Ace and an Ace) the suit will take precedence: Hearts > Diamonds > Crosses > Spades. There is also a trump card that will choose the suit that dominates for that round: the face value doesn't matter here, it's only the suit. You can also choose to play a round without a trump which is harder, but you will get a bonus points for doing so. You also get bonuses for getting win combos in a row. I've also designed it so that you get bonus points for lose combos in a row as well. But you will lose hamburgers (health) with each card you lose. If you get a 'losers' hand, which is a straight 6 card loss, you will regain all of your health and get the biggest bonus in the game.
