Yeah, trying to make my own blend! π

I am making a survival horror game inspired by Silent Hill x The Long Dark.
This is Jane, the protagonist :D

Iteration and failure are your best friends.
Try multiple ways to do something until you find the way (or ways) that work for you. This means that youβre going to fail a lot, feel uncomfortable and cringy most of the time and question every day why youβre still doing this.

We are afraid of making the βwrongβ decision.
But there is no right or wrong.
This journey is absolutely personal. Every person has their own context, their own skills, their own values, and all that influences what you want to do and how you want to do it. They are all valid.

It's hard when progress is slow and I donβt have amazing footage from my game to show every week.
But I keep going despite feeling like my game sucks and fearing nobody will like it, because that is the only way I will finish it and get where I want to be.

Making a game is not about the flashy overnight success that goes viral, but the 1% everyday improvement nobody sees.
For a long time, we suck, and we know it. And sitting with that feeling is hard. Eventually, you realise that you need to keep going despite the cringe.

The hardest part of making a game is not programming, making art, or writing a story;
It's facing your shortcomings and weaknesses.
Lack of organisation skills, ability to focus, lack of quality workβ¦
Everything comes to light.

Thereβs no real competition among indie game devs.
Something I find fascinating about the games industry is that we donβt really have to βcompeteβ with each other. At the end of the day, we are making ART, and helping each other grow benefits us all.

We solo devs have to wear many hats, which is both terribly overwhelming and absolutely exciting.
I have many moments when I worry, thinking if what Iβm doing will lead to anything good, but at the same time, I would not give up making my game for anything in the world!

In what way are you using LLM? π€
Thank you all for your replies! Will have something ready soon π
In this post, I talk about the reality of making a game alone, what it looks like to go from beginner to successful dev, and common pitfalls we all fall into.

I'm trying something different, and I would like to use indie games footage in the background!
Of course, I'll give you credit and put a link to your game in the description!
If you are a solo game dev, can I use your game's footage for my next video?
I am a game dev myself, and I have a YouTube channel where I talk about game dev stuff.
If interested, send me a DM or leave a comment ππ
Iβve been getting a few questions lately about Silent Corruption, so I figured it was time to put together a proper Q&A.
This should give you a solid idea of what Iβm building and where things are at.

Here's mine π
Indie Devs, show me your game with no context! :D
#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame
Yeah, we have to choose wisely :S
Thank you! I'm glad you like it! :D
I was wrong about a lot of things.
For the past year, I was doing everything except making my game. In this post, I want to walk you through exactly what those things were so you donβt waste a year the same way I did.

Spent today blocking out the first area of my horror game, a room in a rural inn in the English countryside.
Just grey boxes right now, but I already know which corner is going to make people uncomfortable.
No assets yet, just shapes and a lot of notes.

If I were to start to make my game today, this is what I would focus on first, and how Iβd organize all my ideas and my workflow.
