My sincere gamemaking advice is something I tell my students all the time:
Trust yourself to be a better game designer tomorrow than you are today.

I taught a gamemaking summer camp in China, and I got to use the expression “American Century of Humiliation” unironically in my diploma ceremony speech. 🇨🇳

Alrighty. Fellow indie game devs/other nerds. I need y'all's advice on how to add filler to a game without taking away from the main storyline. The game I'm tryna make isn't particularly fighting-based, there's anywhere from 5-11ish major encounters, and inspo is taken from undertale and omori v

Look, I don’t know what to do, but as we’ve all noted whatever solution emerges is actually gonna have to be a half-dozen different ones for very different relationships to what gamemaking is.
The challenge is that there’s ALSO incentive to blur where one’s work stands.

Not to get too sappy about it, but I’m really glad people are responding by making shitpost games and really clever little post-sized games. It’s a form that I love, because I love how it highlights games as language and gamemaking as communication and jokes as a wonderful form of play.
