Hello! I'm a guy creating a game called "artificial" where you play as a young boy lost in a bunch of dreamlike empty worlds looking to find a way home.
I look forward sharing my development with you all and learning as I go along with this passion project :)
@artdstuf I haven’t had much time working on my game but this appearing on my feed helps loosen that worry of mine.
It still comes down to figuring out how to make it interesting and enjoyable though.
It’s still pretty frustrating seeing plugins perfect for what you wanna add into your game and then surprise surprise, they’re vibe-coded and the plugin author is doubling down on it badly.
Be like Toriyama, name your main characters things like Carrot, Bloomer Briefs, Vegetables, have them ride around in vintage cars and bikes that you really like simply because you wanted to draw them. Just have fun, don't worry too much.
If YOU want to be a game developer, one of the MOST difficult things to master is discipline. You HAVE TO stay focused and commit to it. There are many days where you "don't feel like doing it".. but that's not how things get done. :) Push yourself, work hard, don't give up!! :D
