I would treat every indie game as basically a lottery ticket. Keep making more fun games until you get lucky.

Don’t let the join date fool you, I’ve been using Mastodon on different servers since 2018
I tend to approve follow requests from nearly everyone, although it’s a good idea to have some posts and/or a profile picture and bio.

@ICastFist
I would argue that “zero-skill” games can have charm if they’re still fun or creative. Perhaps I’m a bit biased though as a beginner gamedev who doesn’t have much skill outside of programming though.
@Ategon
When you think your game’s scope is small, it isn’t. Keep scoping as tiny as possible so you could finish your game in a week or two
@Ategon
The most essential personally would be the C programming language and vim. After all, it’s what I’m most comfortable with
@nexusnovaz I recommend at-least checking out the official documentation.
@nexusnovaz I generally like SDL, and would personally recommend it
@sirdorius @Ategon I think it’s just that discussion about it happens on the fediverse, and it was started by some people on the fediverse. Otherwise there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it.

Odysee kinda sucks ngl. All my fav creators left because of the community there being so toxic.
@ArkyonVeil
Very interesting read!
@CookieJarObserver
If I were to guess, the reason comes down to pseudonymity (or anonymity if it accepts Monero).
@Vitaly
Speaking for myself, I use quad9 for DNS
@Vitaly
Then yeah you’re probably good actually.
Nope! The server provider will definitely be monitoring your activity and probably will report you for torrenting. VPNs shift trust, even self-hosted ones. Do you trust Amazon AWS or Google Cloud or whatever provider you’re using? I certainly hope not.

This is probably not the answer you’re looking for, but it might be better to download each song in a high quality format such as FLAC or WAV. Sure, this is more effort, but it’ll be worth it for the great audio quality (if that’s something you care about). Just an idea.
@pirate You can use a tool such as libreddit by changing the reddit.com
part of the URL to one of the instances. Here’s an example of that:
https://reddit.com/u/GRS-
change to
https://libreddit.projectsegfau.lt/u/GRS-
@neotecha
If I remember correctly, there’s a vim community at @vim . You can also look for communities at https://beehaw.org/communities/listing_type/All/page/1 , including being able to search for them. :)
@atomicpoet
I like it! I especially like that you don’t even need to make a separate account to interact with the communities on there! (I’m literally commenting from a custom fork of glitch-soc
right now) That alone makes Lemmy better than any normal Forum out there.
Edit: doesn’t appear that Lemmy handles content warnings in replies
@verysoft @popcar2 I briefly tried it before when it was the proprietary game engine Amazon Lumberyard. It was alright but personally I prefer developing games without an engine
