I’m curious, why don’t people here collaborate. There’s a bunch of cool little projects going on here, there’s even several that have made it to Steam which is cool. But there have been plenty of dead projects, projects in limbo, and others that won’t get released for various reasons.
It’s basic math; if one developer can put in x amount of hours per week then with one or 2 other developers working on the same project you could potentially get so much more done. How many solo devs turned into notable success stories; compared to teams of 3+, So many great studios started with just a few people. Obviously even for a solo developer the dream of creating great games would at some point mean you would have a team.
We know that everyone has their own vision and ideas which can be hard to collaborate on if others aren’t on the same page but surely there are some likeminded people here. I mean you can start by agreeing on a rule set and basic mechanics, most projects don’t even finish implementing this stage really, they die out.
Some of these smaller projects could be completed if everyone wasn’t shouldering the whole project themselves. Some of these projects it’s painful to see how much work people are expecting to do by themselves. Even some of you who have put out some cool games, maybe you could take on a larger project if you collaborate.
I’m curious to see people’s thoughts on this, maybe there are some joint projects already?
