What is a game developer?

Early on in my career, I was told by an art director that anyone who works on the game is a game developer. They said it belittles the rest of the team to only think of game developers as the engineering team. So, I believe that if you are in the credits, you are a game developer.

Recently, I've found many people and articles disagree, but the industry doesn't seem like it's fully decided on how to define a game developer.

#gamedev

A game developer must write code
A game developer must create designs, art, or code
A game developer is anyone in the credits.

I just submitted my 2023 Linux game jam entry at https://underflow-studios.itch.io/terminal-adventure which is an attempt at recreating the 1986 ARPANET environment and retelling the Clifford Stoll book The Cuckoo's Egg.

It's completely open source using the 0 clause BSD license (public domain.) using Godot 4.

It's been exciting and a struggle. I want to thank @Cheeseness for hosting and encouraging my work not only through this game jam but throughout the years

#gamedev #indiedev I'd like to introduce you to a really powerful website to help you break down your game mechanics. http://virt10.itu.chalmers.se/index.php/Main_Page I've used it for a year now and have felt like I had far more insights into the mechanics I am building than before.

Valheim opposes paid mods, arguing it goes against the creative and open nature of modding. This argument can be extended to art in general, but in a capitalist society, people need to earn a living. However, the stronger case against Valheim paid mods is that mods lack official support, making it uncertain if mods will continue to function. Charging for mods places the responsibility on developers to maintain compatibility during early access. #indiedev

Been playing The Cave with my son (at 4 years old). We finished our first playthrough and he immediately said "I want to play more!" so we picked 3 new characters and started again.

I have mixed feelings about The Cave though. I really do like it but it sometimes gets into adventure-game-style puzzles where the solution isn't as open-ended as I wished it would be.

I answered a phone call from a number I didn't know. I won't be doing that again. Anxiety attacked immediately.

I'm always curious to read about any game design tips or tricks. Specifically when it comes to starting on small indie titles and the balance between not interesting and too big for the team. Feels like a hard line to walk. Specially coming from a solo developer perspective. #gamedesign #gamedev

I will say, the local feed is probably the best part about mastodon. Connecting with actual people interested in the same things you are. It certainly makes the experience more human driven.

Ugh #gamedev problems. Specifically #indiedev spending my days helping people in #UE4 slackers discord. I do this to avoid writing my own game and code even though I finally have a good direction to go. I don't know why.
