With my stimulus money many months ago I bought a gaming PC. This was my first gaming related purchase since 2013. (GTAV for 360, my last console) Over the first part of the pandemic I spent a lot of time indoors with my gamer roommates and played some games I had missed but what really inspired me to get a PC was the idea of modding and potentially developing games. When the hobby was new I got really into it, aided by ADHD hyperfocus and some amphetamines from a friend, but inevitably burned out.
My main two projects were a 16bit 2D sidescroller starring my cat that I was making in Stencyl (discovered after falling in love with an indie game made in it [Skateride]) and Making modded maps for SkaterXL (I got pretty good at modeling but I'm still vexed about textures and working with them between blender and unity projects)
AAAAANNNNYYYYway all of that to say who else here does game stuff? I want to get back into it and perhaps collaborate on some games with a commie lens, if anyone needs pixel art/animation or blender models?
I go game stuff, all 2D projects. I've posted stuff on one of this discords, but I'm kind of hesitant to post anything here because it's under my Human name as well as uses the name of my composer, who as far I know, is not as political as me.
I've never really gotten anything to completion, so I don't really ever have anything to show off. I have pretty much no traction, no one knows about my games.
I never finished my cat game beyond implementing basic platforming mechanics and making a bunch of art and animations. Nor have I released a skaterXL map. Ive made some playable SkaterXL maps but they look terrible and I havent shared them with anyone. :shrug-outta-hecks:
I spent 2 years on a platformer I never got in a playable state. Wish I had learned earlier that you should start with a bunch of small 2 week projects until you know what you are doing and are established enough to make your dream project.
