What's up, folks? I'm trying to get a small publication put together that is specifically made for this community. I'm not trying to start a business or scrape ad revenue with SEO. I'm paying out of pocket to make sure none of the people writing for us work for free. There are currently no plans to monetize this, and I believe my personal history of contributions to the public domain are enough to back me up when I say that my only purpose here is to share knowledge and experience.

Articles will trickle in as the process takes a bit and I can only afford so much content each month. We have our first article up and two that are going through the editing process. I have info on what I'm trying to do and the process for submitting if you want to get involved here https://indiefuck.substack.com/about

I've bought all the articles I can afford this month, but I'll be commissioning more after the 2nd.

If you don’t mind me asking, could you provide some links of work you’ve contributed to the public domain? Not sure about others, but I’d be interested to find out more.

All of the assets listed on my account here are public domain. I also keep all of the code for my games in open repositories. https://github.com/geraldfingburke

Essentially, I wouldn't say I have a large body of work in the public domain, but I don't have a large body of work. In terms of ratios, everything I've drawn, written, coded, or recorded is in the public domain. The only stuff that isn't listed as public domain is stuff that relies on CC stuff, and you generally can't have a more or less permissive license than the licensor.

In fairness though, I worded that in a way that made it seem like I had contributed a large volume of work. The reality is, I'm a small time indie, just like most others here. The only thing you have to judge me by is my actions. My actions, though admittedly few, do align with what I'm saying. I'm not talking out of my ass about this stuff.

I was just curious, it’s always nice to see someone contribute open-source projects consistently :)

Yes. Absolutely. Always. ;)

One problem, though: “indief**k” is not a dirty word. Unless you consider “indie” to be a dirty work - in which case: Boy, oh boy! Do I have news for you… ;)

Indie is definitely a dirty word. Just look around.

Because that's my late grandfather's name and I'm trying to honor his memory.

I hadn't really thought about that, but I guess I can just stick them in this thread as they come in. Here's the first one. https://indiefuck.substack.com/p/surviving-game-dev
