I’m not very well versed in the non-binary/pronoun sphere, but I would assume it would be fine. Breaks up the monotony of saying he/him.

They and them can both be used in the singular. And it doesn’t need to refer to a non-binary person.

The + is doing some very heavy lifting here.

But that’s the thing. It’s incredibly rare that a indie game becomes successful enough to sustain even a single developer. It’s like with every other entertainment industry. YouTube, OF, Twitch, TikTok, you are competing with millions of other people in exactly the same situation as you. I think it’s OF where you need to be in the top 25% to earn $1k per year.

Hard work and clever marketing can improve your chances of a success, but you still need to be extremely lucky to be noticed enough to make a living out of it.

I remember this talk about a developer making a living as a game dev. Not by making inspiring or “good” games, but by pretty much endlessly reskinning solitare games.

In my opinion it’s best to walk up the tree of niche subject until you get to place that’s actually populated. If roguelights are atruggling check/post in strategy or rpg game communities, if those are also empty go up a tier to a more general gaming one. The only reason niche communities are created (outside of like, friend groups or whatever) is because the more general one is becoming over populated. Starting with the small community stuff always felt very backwards to me.

Yeah I caught that as well. Especially as both cases he doesn’t add anything.

Windows computers maybe? WC for short.
