New pinned! Howdy howdy everyone! My name is Nomad (JC) and Im a solo dev of a TTRPG thats been built for accessibility. I also take care of my grandparents, so my time is divided between them and development. Hoping to have the game out this year though. Be kind, and be safe.

@aaliyahvtuber_ While I’m not afraid of death, I’m so tuned to doing what’s best for others that all I see is the aspect of how that would affect others that know me. And I can’t put them through that. That and, I’m sure god has a twisted sense of humor and I’d end up living. 😅

@thickles__ You and me both. But if I get one, it’ll have to wait till things change. Not necessarily for the better, just change in general. I hope a hug for you isn’t dependent on something as abstract as mine.

@BeanJuiceStudio Zip. I don’t know what to market right now cause I’m just about finished with the first draft. But once I start the final version, I’m gonna try doing process videos for the art and such. Not sure if that’ll garner any attention, but we’ll see.

Game dev question of the day Percentage wise, how much time do you spend marketing your game compared to developing it?

@Riftwalkergame I suck at social media and need to start sharing mine cause I’m almost done with the first draft of everything (it’s a ttrpg), so it’s a different field. But I want people to be/get excited for it.

I get that. From an indie dev side, sharing early isn’t hype. It’s how the game survives while it’s being built. Curious though… Do you prefer seeing games early and watching them grow, or just hearing about them right before release? 🙏💜
not_cyotee@NCyotee

Is there a point where marketing can go on too long? I don't know when hype for a coming game tips over to frustration that it's not out yet. But I've crossed that line awhile ago. This is why I don't go to strip clubs. Just release the game already. Even a beta.

@SwarmMeGame I’m making a ttrpg, so this may not apply. Been working on it for five years solo, just started the first draft January 5th. Since then I’ve finished first draft of the player handbook and am wrapping up the first draft of the DMs guide soon. Character sheet alone 50+ iterations.

Planning a game is mostly guessing. The real design only starts once you build it. How much your designs change during development?

@elisemaxo I live with this everyday. I forget the actual term, but it’s basically chronic loneliness. Some days it’s worse, some days it’s not. Either way, I just keep going. Don’t really have a choice to not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@kumxem My first “real” memory is my 13th birthday. Beyond that, it’s flashes and glimpses or stories told to me. I think it’s more common than not to not remember your childhood. Since I didn’t have one, it makes sense I wouldn’t remember.

@bonniepetitex I primarily listen to music from the classic era: the Ratpack. And basically a bunch of other artists from that era. I’m only 34 btw, so when I get there, they’ll be having to play Dean Martin me. 😁

@_Ava_VT Weirdly enough, I play survival games. The stress they cause, makes me calm down. Not sure why, but it works for me. 😅

@sean_gause This is a digital piece I did on a remarkable paper tablet. It’s the base image of a creature design I’m doing for my ttrpg. It’s not the best by any means, but that works in my favor cause the rule book is meant to look hand drawn from medieval times.

I want to see art on my timeline and follow more artists. Less negativity and bait. Artists, use this as an excuse to show off and tell me about your art. Illustration, 3D models, animation, music, whatever you're making.🎨

@YunalesckaGames I have started and stopped and restarted many times cause of how the game goes. It touches on things that take me back to a place I don’t like being. I love the game even though I haven’t been able to beat it, but I will beat it one day.

@GamewithDave I forget what the name was, but you played as a mouse trying to avoid getting eaten by a cat. You moved blocks to make barriers and if you trapped the cat, he’d turn into cheese. It was a 2d game, but I lost tons of hours to it. I wish it was still on computers.

@_TheImpureKing_ Myself. While I watch and listen to almost all media about a game, I’m going it cause I want to play it and I want to consume every piece of media about it that I can. I’ll watch a streamer if I’m not sure what the gameplay is, just to make sure it’s up my alley.

@BeanJuiceStudio A friend was having a hard time understanding dnd, so I started working on making it easier to play. Even though he doesn’t want anything to do with it, I shifted to making it for the masses. I feel like it’s potentially the most accessible ttrpg still in development.

Here is an updated outfit for Devin, the other one was a placeholder. I’m using Metahumans a tool inside UE5.7 for all of my characters in the game. All characters will have facial rigs for lip-sync animations for gameplay and cinematic cutscenes. Everything everyone has seen up to this point has been placeholder art, next I will start revealing all of the new characters one by one here very soon, starting with Aston Mercer🙏💜

For my son Devin’s heavenly birthday today, I spent it creating this in memory of him. Everyone meet my son, now forever in my game… Devin the Lightwalker. Every world needs a light. Today, I gave mine a name.

@BeanJuiceStudio That’s one of the reasons almost no one knows what I’m working on. The main reason is cause I have so much riding on this, if it did get stolen, I’d have to start basically from scratch, and I don’t have the time to put another 5yrs into starting over. Not on this at least.

Game devs should never be scared of sharing their ideas with the fear of it being stolen. Getting early validation and interest is far more important than the potential risk of being copied. Even if a hundred devs made the exact same idea, the execution will never be the same.
