    Our world has been reshaped by this pandemic. Instead of talking about all of the terrible things, I thought for today we'd focus on one of the silver linings of this horrible event. Video games. Well, the video game industry. We've all been turning to old favorites and new adventures to escape and comfort us and it SHOWS. Look at Among Us and Fall Guys. Small games that may never have had the hype they now do . In fact, this is probably the BEST time to launch your own game and I will tell you why!

    I'm a writer of sorts. I've been working on an original series in a fantasy setting spanning over multiple generations and phases in my fictional worlds history. I have been working on this since 2009 and have slowly but surely been building my world from the ground up. I have finally gotten my series to an overall level where i feel i am ready to truly write it. Hopefully in the next ten years, some of you will be picking up The Westmam Inheritance off of the shelf and deciding to read it. I love writing and my dream is to reach out and bring people together like my favourite video games, authors and movies do. See you all in the future when I'm published! And also, i love to write more than just my own series. I'd be happy to lend some other original ideas to game devs out there!

      I have an idea for a game, but I can't quite figure out the lore. You play as a knight who was sent to guard the princess from a demon invasion. The princess, in the last section of the game, will be captured, and so your defensive mission where you just try to keep the demons away from the princess turns into an offensive one where you try to get her back. Any ideas?

    I'm a indie game dev and a top tier procrastinator. I've been making games on and off since I was 9 as a hobby and have always wanted to make a full scale game. But I also kinda procrastinated, a lot, so not much got done. Well when this whole quarantine thing happened I decided it was finally time to sit down and make a full game. So after 6 months of dusting off my game making skills I finally started work on my game. It's a rhythm game in which you control 2 characters and have to use each character's unique abilities together to clear levels. Now since I'm still in high school I don't need monetary support, but having someone following the progress of my game would mean the world to me. My twitter is @BlackHueJazz

    “Promote yourself” I’m a high school freshmen who’s passion is Dance and Theater! I dance on my schools drill team and take classes at a studio after school and have done multiple musical productions and have been very involved in singing and acting since I was young! I hope to go somewhere like New York after high school and hope to make it into a good theater company and make connections, maybe even do traveling shows or something like that and/or do background dance/choreography work in movies and television and hope to maybe be on Broadway in some form, weather that’s being a swing actress, understudy, ensemble, anything, I just wanna be a part of it. I don’t plan to go to collage I don’t think, unless I go to a trade school and do a commercial dance program or be a theater major.. school has never been my thing and though I don’t exactly have a laid out plan for what I want to do after high school, I know that I have wanted to be a performer and go into the arts since I was young and I can’t wait to carry out that dream :)

I have the confidence that I can make a living in the arts no matter big or small, sure it’s a hard field but it’s also a small field and a lot of it has to do with connections which I was lucky enough to learn a lot about from my previous dance coach of which team I was a leader on. and it’s really refreshing to hear full love and support instead of “is that realistic?” Or “you sure? The arts are a pretty tough field” from family and adults like Theater and training isn’t the only thing I’ve talked to them about since I was little. Ive just always been a performer and it’s where I’m most comfortable and I know a desk job just isn’t for me, thank you for the comment it truly made my day! Keep spreading love babe!

    Edit: Wow! Never thought this comment would reach two or three likes. Not sure if I’m everyone’s cup of tea. For one, I lack any decent portfolio since I was never taught how to properly make one. Most of my works that I’ve made are incredibly amateur and while I have tried to refine my arts after graduating college, I could never quite make digital art the likes you see on the professional sites, which always made me feel inferior to them. Naturally, I gave up art to try and pay bills. I can still use programs like Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and 3DS Max and Maya, but their program licences expired years ago. So yeah, tl;dr, I suck. :/

      He can do 1 better. MatPat started game theory to show power of games. My answer to his call - suicide prevention with games (there was suicide in Game Theory's team a few years ago, editor, which made the original GT style). Also enhancing mental health, helping to cure depression. Help to make this world a little better place by adding this LAYER to your games (or art in general) or giving a feedback. My attempt - in itch , Information is power:New perspective.

      I know a bunch of people who have maybe 200 unplayed, purchased games in Steam. If each game is an average of 20 hours of play time from start to finish, that's 1 1/2 years of doing literally nothing else but playing video games. Those are the games that were paid for and doesn't count the numerous freebies that pop up all over the place like Among Us. And also doesn't count revisits to great games to play them again a second or third time or time sunk going for some difficult achievement. All told, many people have significant video game backlogs that could take a decade to get through. Among Us is more akin to a Flash game than an actual video game. The average EA/Ubisoft dev could probably crank out an Among Us clone in a weekend. It's kind of beneath them. Actually, making an Among Us clone might be a good test of someone's software development skills to see if they are ready for actual game development.

Heavily inspired by Metroid, Cave Story, and Zelda, it’s actually my first time really coding a game ever.

Say... fredbear was possessed by a soul who left the plush and took the voice of henry to put the aftons together to be a family again. possibly THE springlock malfunction william made happen since a worker supposedly saw him with the bodies made henry possess fredbear.

    This isn't much to show, but i've been aspiring to write stories for a long time. From personal game concepts, to fantasy novels, I make a lot of personal stuff, but never got around to fully committing to an idea. I guess because of the smaller details; writing the lore and major events of a world is one thing, but individual, realistic dialogue and flavor text can be a pain on my head.
