Got a random inspiration to write something about my current feelings about the role of games in my life. Substack revive.

Moving on from my year long game project. Now experimenting with a new idea each week while looking for new projects. It's all pretty unstructured haha, but you have to test things in order for opportunities to show up i guess

released a new version of my collaborative writing app/game yesterday! feels more legit with every iteration. now I'm gonna start spreading the word about it which is like a whole new process for me

[Douglas Driving @doglording]

Today I released an open beta version of the collaborative writing game “Unwritten”🥳. Feel free to try it here: https://t.co/bzLzMKArXq

@8bitPancakes It takes so much time to get it right

@Ajo1322 A collaborative creative-writing game! https://t.co/APB5A2gxVZ

[Douglas Driving @doglording]

Been playing the meditative mobile game "Loop: Hex" in my 5-min Pomodoro breaks as a way of detaching my mind from whatever problem I am working on for a while. It has made me reflect on the potential of using games to change your mindset!

[Douglas Driving @doglording]

Natural creativity can be highly satisfying, but it rarely comes without effort. The beauty of a good sandbox game is to unlock this inner creativity by making us see possibilities! I'm hoping to be able to open my player's creativity through such mechanics.

ironically "game design" seems to be the skill most taken for granted / ignored by new indie game teams.

[Douglas Driving @doglording]

So my experiment with a product design game is turning into... something. Hoping this will spark some new ideas! I will test it with some people soon

Attempting to untangle Returnal is its own kind of endless loop. Every answer raises more questions, every success implies more failures. But despite this– maybe because of this– I can’t escape its gravity. https://t.co/6hxjurFhNc

[Douglas Driving @doglording]

It's expanding. GET THAT PRODUCT READY FOR LAUNCH!!!

@KenneyNL @McFunkypants I feel just like this! Options make me stressed: how would I know what parts I will enjoy the most??? But it really does seem like players have very different taste in this regard and I think its important to assist people like me in making a decision

[Douglas Driving @doglording]

@ssnd292 I'm just writing everything connected to my projects in notion! I love the modularity of that app. And I think it works quite well with collaboration too

[Douglas Driving @doglording]

@baasbase I guess it depends on what you are writing the code for! When I'm building something initially then I know that it might be thrown out of the project anyways and I don't bother about making it clean.

[Douglas Driving @doglording]

Made a Unity template to start with when game jamming. Will hopefully reduce the dev time. Doing the same thing over and over isn't all that interesting anyway. Try it if you want :)
