Looking for gamedev conversation partners

I tried finding people to help me with my current game before, but honestly I’ve noticed what I’ve been needing the most is someone to talk to about my game and help me keep focused and explore the universe of the story.

I don’t know if that’ll work well, but I’d like to try. We could talk about our projects and maybe exchange ideas. It can be through text or voice call, no pressure to help or work actively on each other’s projects, mostly just talk.

If anyone is interested, my current game is a 3D turn-based RPG made in Unity. It’s inspired by my first game (Aurora - Hidden Colors), Dragon Age Origins, Baldur’s Gate 3, other CRPGs, JRPGs, and RPGs in general.

My discord is zoemiranda

Tell me about your project and let’s see if we can have a nice exchange. ;)

Hi, i'm newish to formal gamemaking/developement and find myself in a similar place - wanting to share ideas, and collaborate with people

i am personally working on a mixture of games/ideas/explorations and would love to share/hear your ideas too

Hey! Add me on Discord!

How funny! I actually just 'talked' to another writer/dev about this! How it's hard (esp when just starting out) to find a space where you can just -- bounce ideas off with other writers/creators!

I personally love this idea and would be happy to offer that no-pressure space if you like (-- and have it in turn)! I'm sure we're both busy with working on our respective games, but just a casual convo you can add to any time sounds right up my alley~ I absolutely love games like Dragon Age (2 is my favorite) and BG3 (know a few peeps who worked on it), so rooting for your new game!! Feel free to check out my own project and let me know if you'd like to connect (but: Best of luck either way!! <3).

Hey! Thanks!

I’m currently playing Dragon Age 2 and it’s been a bit boring compared to Origins tbh haha, but I still like it and maybe it’s just becahse I suck at it (playing at the hardest difficulty and suffering).

Well, your project sounds really cool! Though I’m a bit weirded out by its name and the idea that pussy = women, but I might be misunderstanding it. I saw that you can be trans in it, but you can face transphobia, racism, etc. It’s… Interesting, though it’s scart.

I’d like to see a bit more of it to see if I really understand it because it sounds cool.

*phew* Was too busy to respond yesterday, but now I have a moment~

I’m currently playing Dragon Age 2 and it’s been a bit boring compared to Origins tbh

I think quite a few people think this because the two are so very *Different* in how they present their stories: Origins has a lot of traveling around, traditional elements while DA2 is primarily in one location/a bit more experimental. In my mind: DA2 was always about focusing on relationships + dynamics of others -- how groups of people affect each other; the psychology of living in a city that's steadily boiling over throughout the years. I also think the romance in DA2 is some of the most PEAK (OG)Bioware good good out there + completely changed the game on *how* a character can be romanced (heavily inspires the romance in my own game <3); one of my all time fav chars is a RO in DA2 (Isabela).

Thanks for the kind words re: my game! I actually think it says a lot about people (and their lived experience) on how they take a title like 'Pu$$y Trauma' (which - I Adore, btw -- one of my all time bests) -- it's def not 'pussy = women'. But I also think 'pussy', a vagina, is one of the mightiest things in this world for how marginalized/shamed/objectified it is. So there's that. But 'pu$$y', is also a (cheeky) nod toward it being a VERY sapphic/wlw game. The dollar signs are also intentional; it's a game based on homelessness and you can't tell that story without: money.
You can be trans in PT(oc you can)! But yeah: Just like real life, there's racism, multiple phobias, etc.  It isn't a sugarcoated kinda game; deliberately so. It's conveying real issues and ones that will make people uncomfortable. And you *should* be uncomfortable -- because it's not right these things exist.

Hope to learn more on your project/your aims, too -- talk soon!

Add me on Discord if you’re interested! ☺️

Hello! I am a new writer and I really don't know how this works, I kinda feel like it will be helpful to have someone to talk to abt games and stuffs if thats okay. I just uploaded one game My Pick if anyone is interested please check it

Hey! Add me on Discord. zoemiranda

Just so everyone is aware, someone whose discord username is sacervip got in touch, we started talking, but I couldn’t talk yesterday due to a power outage in my city. This is what they sent me today: image.png

sometimes I do wonder if extintion would not be a terrible option afterall... I definitely don't want to be 99.9% genetically related to any of that

sorry to hear about that, i however am interested in hearing more about your project and in general having people to talk to about the difficulties and fun of game development. if you haven't yet done so, maybe we could start a small group on discord to bounce ideas off each other chat about what kinds of experiences inspire us. i'll send a fr on discord if you're interested in having someone else to talk to

(+1)

I'd also be interested in chatting about projects. I'm in a couple game dev discords for game jams where we talk about our projects, but it'd be nice to have one on a little smaller scale and without being tied to a game jam. Maybe you could set that up, like a group chat for everyone here rather than a bunch of one-on-ones?


Also, sorry you had to go through that with Sacer. Yeesh, what color is that flag? Sounds like a lot of entitlement, like maybe he was thinking this was going to be more than just talking about game dev stuff, you know? Anyway, don't let his damage become yours. You don't have to put up with that crap.


I'm sending you a discord friend request.

You might need to consider time zones; I've done things like these before and I find it much easier if you can be on at the same time.

Hey, everyone! Thanks to JivinJimmy’s suggestion, I’ve created a small server for us to discuss our projects. Here’s the link: https://discord.gg/cFapQ7kqhj

You can also DM me on Discord to discuss one-to-one: zoemiranda
