If you work alone did you ever think about working together with others and if so why aren't you doing so now?

Justification? How dare you, those are perfectly cromulent reasons! 😄

Yeah it's a weird one because he has actually made his own game too, a conversion of "The Pit" to work with the Spectrum Next. So a certain type of gamedev is his thing, but gamedev with me not so much! I do think working as a team automatically puts more pressure on each other to keep up and put in equal amounts of work, whether it's partners like us, friends like you or honestly just a team in general. Which is why we all end up solo, we fear the pressure.

(also thank you, we had no idea how to build a platformer at the start of the jam so it was a really fun experience!)

Interesting! But that's really the thing, sometimes game devs are just not compatible haha. Yea, I think that's the thing. If you're solo you don't need to constantly deliver and can work at your own pace without feeling guilty for not doing enough. (you're obviously still going to feel guilty for not doing enough, however much you do, from the pressure you put on yourself......)
