I'm a newbie game developer from East coast USA. I decided to start trying my hand at making games because of the strange and unusual times we've been living in.
Taken from the About page of my website:
"What does dance with the devil mean? Does it mean that we're devil worshipers? Or that we like to live haphazardly and dangerously? Maybe that's what it means to some people. To me it symbolizes a method of examining the aspects of life that aren't always appealing or fun to deal with. It's an effort to help people understand and accept the worst parts of themselves without drowning in negativity. You'll notice this effort in our games. The big studios and development companies could never make the games we do. We don't have to make games that are popular, appealing, or socially acceptable. We aren't constrained by a public image department.We have sufficient life experience to pass on some low key knowledge to gamers that pay attention and read between the lines, and we aren't afraid to do it. "
I have a partner who is learning along with me. We're using all FOSS (GDevelop, Gimp, Audacity) and mostly public domain assets, because we have low funds and underdeveloped skills but good imaginations. My partner is more focused on the front end and I'm more focused on the backend but we do criss cross paths a bit.
I've had a decent number of views in the last 3 months, and a few plays/downloads, but what I'm really hoping for is feedback. It'd make it a lot easier to improve if I could find people that care enough to tell me when things suck or are broken... so go ahead, lay it on me. Don't spare my feelings. Be brutally honest. It's appreciated :)
Cheers :)
