yeah i feel you for sure, i think we're in the same boat. i've got so many ideas i'm excited about that i couldn't make them all into full length games even if i devoted my whole life to it. making small games has made me realize that i don't need to make a 40-hour epic or even a 6-hour game to explore a concept to my satisfaction, spending a couple hours making a 20-minute game that gets the point across is often enough to content me, or make me go "oh i've actually done everything i wanted to do with this concept". i still want to make longer works too, but i'm growing more selective about which ideas actually get promoted to large projects :P

so it seems like we're on similar journeys here. nice to encounter a fellow traveler, i look forward to whatever you make next

Seems like we really are travelers treading the same path haha.

As for what I am doing next, I think I am going to take a pause on my own journey and take a look at what's around me - take a pause at the top of the hill and enjoy the view if we are to carry on with the journey metaphor.

What I would like to do now is try find likeminded and talented RPG Maker devs (such as your good self) and offer to contribute my services to larger projects. If you have any bigger projects in the pipeline and think I could be of help then please don't hesitate to reach out - I would love to be a part of someone else's vision for a change!

I am also getting my hand back into hosting game jams again here on itch since I did that last year and found it to be a very rewarding and inspiring experience albeit it only takes passive management and is not enough to fill my time properly.

i'm actually in a similar position there too, i'm sick of working alone and being responsible for the whole creative vision, so i've been looking for opportunities to play a supporting role and collaborate on friend's projects! i don't have anything too large in the pipeline right now, but it would be fun to do a weeklong jam or something later this summer.... if you're a discord kind of person you can add me there @ lizard

Sounds great, totally down for that. TBH I am not a discord person at all but since itch does not have a dev chat server of it's own for users to communicate then I don't have much choice and decided to try embrace that instead. I sent you a friend request over there :)
