@BeanJuiceStudio Finishing literally anything.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@BeanJuiceStudio All of these words are in my "banned words for names" list.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@BeanJuiceStudio Self taught but man that's a misnomer. YouTube and all of the brilliant people on it are who really taught me.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@OlexGameDev The bar to being more interesting/appealing than 80% of what gets put on Steam is extremely low as well.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@BrilynHollyhand That doesn't really sound like a funnel.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@om_patel5 People keep saying this and I still am not seeing all of the fully AI games make tons of money on steam.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@cemdemir I am so sorry but there is nothing interesting about this.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@SadVampire1776 Obsession just had the best 3rd weekend box office since Jaws. If that's not groundbreaking then I don't know what is.

@DevLand95213410 I gotchu, hot off the presses: https://t.co/luYeUqL1yT

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@makakaorg @Ahwhwh2740394 Sure. That doesn't make the concept of environment art interchangeable with the concept of environment design.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@makakaorg @Ahwhwh2740394 We're generalists because we're indies. AI is not a magic bullet for making games.

This isn't just a difference in name, these are two different things.

Level/environment DESIGN has to do with an area's function, not just it's aesthetics.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@Ahwhwh2740394 Huge huge definitely no.

An environment artist typically won't have any say on how an environment is staged or level design. (Obviously different teams work differently.)

[AntiqueGearGames- Idle Gumball Machine out now! @GearAntique]

Me and my friend made an arcade-y fossil carving game.

- Carve fossils
-That's about it

Wood, you play this?
Wood: "yes!"

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@GearAntique Still can't believe we were most popular AND second highest overall score.

Lot's of great submissions.

[AntiqueGearGames- Idle Gumball Machine out now! @GearAntique]

Me and @Alexzoin made this for a game jam and won 2nd place!

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@BlondeOfWar The fact that no one in this thread is clocking that this is an ad for whatever "Sprout" is disheartens me.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@GoblinBoss I really don't understand why people aren't understanding this situation.

The price is what the market will bear. Even if Valve sets the price lower to be a good guy, arbitrage exists and it will sell out anyway but now scalpers make a profit.

The reality is inflation. Sorry.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@BeanJuiceStudio Variance and mechanical depth.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@PrabhjotSL I would argue that making something playable that meaningfully qualifies as a game is still pretty difficult.

[Alex Cecrle @Alexzoin]

@henningsanden Fully depends on the kind of game you want to make.

I spent years as a Unity dev. I am just now getting into Godot more seriously.

For smaller projects I think Unity is too bloated to make sense a lot of the time.
