I like art and music and crafting. Shall we?

[minnnty]

sure!

Indie game development? Like those "indie bundle" games?

[minnnty]

i guess? i'm just interested in making small, fun games that i can work on in my spare time.

[wolfpack82]

that's exactly what "indie bundle" games are. Small start-ups. :) Google "indie bundle" games. Some of those are the best. My hubby is a gamer. :)

Oh, tell me more...

i've been working in a free editor called bitsy (https://ledoux.itch.io/bitsy)

it's very limited, but i'm enjoying working within the limitations. it makes it much easier to set small, defined goals and actually get things finished

i've been interested in making games for ages, and i've experimented with other game engines but never got beyond half finished works in progress

That looks like a lot of fun.

I've mainly done game design in the old-fashioned pencil-and-paper RPG variety. But I did some work on Cargo (mainly plot development), the adventures of a delivery snail.

Hi!

[blueinflight]

It sounds like we both came to DW for the same reasons!

Re: Hi!

[minnnty]

cool :)

friends?

[mybeautifulwars]

I do the art and the music too. And I have a cat. And 3 dogs. And a few other things. :)
I'm game!

Heya! I also miss the feeling of community of LJ - it's the main reason I hopped over to DW instead of starting up a Wordpress or whatever else blog. I'd love to add you! Friends?

[minnnty]

sure!
