@Naim_the_inker asked in a comment "When did you start Gamejolt and why?"

I thought it was an interesting question, so you can read my answer in the article below


I joined Gamejolt 6 years ago, and it looked very different back then! It was a lot more focused on games without the social posting side... stickers didn't even exist yet!

I joined Gamejolt so I could upload my small free games for people to play, but I love how it has evolved over time to be the more social site it is today.

I love that I can share updates on my projects, as well as general social posts like this one!

#Devruary Day 10: What's your least favorite part of game dev?

Ngl, although I can do it, coding is the least enjoyable part of game dev to me Even with visual scripting tools it can be hard... Pictured some code from my game Rivet

#Devruary Day 4: What keeps you making games when it gets tough?

I love creating worlds (just like the games I mentioned inspiring me), so sometimes the motivation is being able to see those worlds come together and explore them myself!

#Devruary Day 10: How do you usually plan a game dev project?

I often make checklists and sketches on physical paper and white boards, and I also prototype the game.
