This is just a test, I wanted to make a post to see what it looks like.

I think this is more inviting than having a bunch of forums you have to pick from right away?

Lemme know!

Please keep in mind I have no idea what I'm doing! I need al lthe help I can get 0_0 i just make games

And ever since TIGSource and I grew apart, I've missed this.

But, there's another reason: Long time ago I set up a forum-roleplaying-game sort of thing, we dug a giant hole, had a good time. People liked it, and I just really loved that feeling of a community of people coming together and interacting. Indie multiplayer games, let alone indie MMOs, seem to die so quickly, so easily. Making games for nobody is an exhausting process, so alongside wanting to make online multiplayer games, I figured I'd also gather together a bunch of people to make games for.

This forum is a way of reminding me that you exist, and that I actually care about you, and not my Steam stats or analytics or # of hits or Metacritic score or whatever crap I get caught up in thinking is important.

i wish i'd made the game able to go on without me? i realized i'm looking for social spaces and specifically i'm interested in ones where i and others share our art. to some degree this is what some tabletop roleplaying games are - everyone is sharing in the art of storytelling. i was drawing inspiration from that but i think i really missed the mark, making something with an authoritative server and a noninteractive client, the "World Viewer for 1st Dragon".

rather than build a game to contain such a community it seemed better to make a community for playing little games, and i believe that now more than before. i think probably what i want to do is make (or find) an indie games community that i want to be a part of.

i noticed how the forum mostly was quiet withouts prompts to get involved.

i learned a bunch.

i'll be back.

I'm personally playing Splatoon 2, and sometimes Rainbow Six: Siege.
