i don’t want to be a solo dev.

i don’t want to be a Solo Dev (with 20 contractors in the credits).

i’ve had multiple folks tell me “you should work on your own thing!” with various tutorials and tricks for doing art while i’m not an artist. i’d love to learn how to draw, how to paint, how to texture, how to model, etc, because those seem like interesting avenues for expression that are different to what i know and do. but i don’t want to learn them just to do it myself in addition to design and coding.

i don’t want to remove other humans from the equation.

i am here to make games with people because i believe the shared experience is greater than the sum of its parts.

i want to make as many games as i possibly can with as many different people as i possibly can.

making games is a fundamentally social experience for me.

i want to make games with people as equals.
