This is so great for people like me who will never ever make any games worth selling 🙃

After migrating from Reddit, it’s jarring that comment sections aren’t cluttered with hashtag-style comments that are just links to subreddits like /HoLuP/ by saffron in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

My mind is officially blown

PSA: Use version control by saffron in c/gamedev

It's for my own good, I know! Totally learned how to add things to a commit but then remove things that shouldn't be there and got added by accident. Look at me go!

Ok I think my server might be acting up again but let's see if this will post!

I'm doing the My First Game Jam, only 4 days left and I'm kinda struggling, but it's been a learning journey for sure. I had this ambitious idea for a 3D tile-based puzzle thing, but the real puzzle is how I thought I could pull it off solo! Don't even have anything pretty to share, I did have this one model animated but it seems to be broken now😅

Definitely gotta get the hang of scoping down, but I got some awesome tips from my jam advice thread, it's all good! 🙌

Complete with that part where you finally snap back to reality and realize someone was talking to you, but you completely spaced out and ignored them!

Tips for my first game jam? (sh.itjust.works)

Hey, everyone! So, I'm new here and I've been checking out all the super helpful posts in this group. After reading about it being beginner-friendly (totally makes sense with that name, right?), I decided to join the My First Game Jam!

It just kicked off tonight, and I'm going solo on this one. The theme is "cycles," and I'm drawing blanks on good ideas, but I'll sleep on it and hope something clicks.

Basically, I'm crossing my fingers that someone here has some tips for a newbie like me diving into her first jam! I kinda got carried away chatting in the jam Discord till late, so now it's time for some sleep. But I'll be ready to jam in the morning! By the way, can I share what I create here, or is that not allowed?

Thanks, y'all! You're the best! 🙌
