If you work alone did you ever think about working together with others and if so why aren't you doing so now?

All my friends see my C99 code as dark magic so I work alone ):

I once found someone interested in starting a project together but he lost interest within a week.

Everyone(Who is not a professional game dev yet) has their own projects because they feel more control and freedom working on their own project. As a result we all have 30 unfinished projects and that’s it.

Solo currently. I do some freelance narrative design consultancy on the side, and I'd rather find something full-time and long term.

It's been a bit, but when doing game jams I shuffled working alone and working as a team. It seems duos are the best options for me, but solo is okay. It's just solo I get a little bit bogged down into doing the art and making it look nice instead of letting things be ugly first. If I'm working with an artist, things seem to go smoother because I can work on programming. 3 - 4 people on a very small game is too much, but obviously this is just jams and not something larger.

Duo does seem like the perfect way to go. Just gotta find someone who wants to duo with me now 😢

If you find a jam (there's a fedi jam somewhere) you can always make a looking from group post! I think, not sure about this community exactly.

I followed a lot of gamedev subs and also have my own so I'm going to confuse where I am, heh.

I subbed to all of them but haven't seen much action other than in this one. Still, gonna keep playing all sides so I always come out on top lol

Yeah! They don't have to compete, they can all have their little different ways of doing things. Should probably crosspost more, I will try and do that when I can.
