Hey everyone!

I'm Sokky, and I've been trying to get into game dev for a good 6 years now (starting around middle school). I'm 20 now, but I'm a digital/traditional artist mostly specializing in character designs and game concept designs. I've got a really ambitious vision and standard for my 20+ game concepts, and while I'm eager to get started immediately I don't exactly have the programming knowledge and artistic polish necessary to make a game all by myself. So I've been trying to get myself to make a game by myself but it obviously isn't working, so I'm joining communities and looking for people who might want to contribute to what I have to offer or even offer myself to other projects!

I hope I can have everyone playing my games soon!

Hey Sokky! Fellow visual artist here. 

I strongly suggest picking up Construct 2 or Twine and signing up for a bunch of game jams. Forcing yourself to make a lot of tiny games is the best way to grow as a dev. (Remember the old adage: "Your first ten games will suck, get them over with")

If you ever need any help, hit me up. I'm pretty busy as a rule, but I'm happy to answer questions.

Twine's great for stories but I haven't looked into it very much. I wouldn't mind making a short VN style game of some kind! It's been something I've thought about many times.

As for Construct 2, I'm not so sure. I've been trying to learn (rather, learn scripting with Unity) for years but not exactly trying to make anything to train myself. How much easier is it to program or script with Construct 2?

If you want to make VNs in twine there are a couple of skins that make that easy on Glorious Trainwrecks: https://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/5163 (These are for use with Twine 1)


And Construct 2 is dead simple. I'm kind of an idiot, and I have no problem with it. In all seriousness, though, there's a bunch of drag-and-drop stuff that means you only have to touch the visual scripting when it's Absolutely necessary.
