Things happen to me, around being a game dev... that I feel like I should inform everyone about.
Since as a solo-dev aiming for the top, I don't just make games. I also have to... market, and manage my reputation.
...So I'm like, "I should keep people informed". That it doesn't build up, and explode on people's face one day.
And so as I was about to... simply inform today.
I realized... I'm a game developer.
Why am I communicating through tweets? & social media posts & comments?
...Instead, I want my communications, to be through videogames.
I started making games, because it's more powerful than text, or video.
So why am I regressing to communicating, through just text again? When I can, through interactive videogames.
If something happens to me, and I feel like raging about it online. I want to direct that energy into my games. Explore and communicate it, through an engaging, interactive narrative.
1- Like a side-quest where an NPC has that same problem, and you help out.
Or
2- the main cast casually talks about the topic with each other.
So there will be times when I'm expected to respond publicly to things.
If I want to respond, I will build some game content around it. And add it to my game.
Except for sharing game progress and doing marketing. My communications from here on out, will be through the medium of games.
