I tend to dream big alot and i tend to want thing sinstantly with this age of tech and it can be annoying at times. i even reaserch thing sbut never do them i wonder if ther eis a way to dream small and what might that look like?

like i want to start a youtube channel with my low-end pc and my fmaily says it dosent hurt to try but im not sure, i want to do gaming but everyone does gaming and im very limited with my pc, etc i could go on but i wont.

my interst will probrably change to something tommorow which is annoying.

    Does your dream require you to make the game alone? To make the models yourself? To have creative direction? For it to be a standalone game? Colaborating with projects such as Beyond Skyrim involves a lot of what you would be doing in your dream, and even if it doesn’t completely cut it, it may open a lot of doors for you merely by virtue of getting in contact with the other developers.

      I’m not sure. I think I would be happy collaborating if the project was interesting, and I’ve certainly collaborated on other FOSS projects.

      I’m not looking for fame or anything (in fact, I hate being publicly recognized for anything), I just want to work on something interesting, and I have a ton of ideas for game ideas. For example:

      • games with completely player-driven economies
      • asynchronous gameplay - as in, players have very different goals/gameplay depending on the role they play; think Android:Netrunner, but in an action game, or maybe a MP Dwarf Fortress where some play in fort mode and others in adventure mode, in the same world
      • build something with a mobile app in an interesting way - i.e. something like EVE Online where you do trades and automate quests on mobile, and then do fights on desktop

      Basically, I want to build something new, not rebuild something proprietary. I don’t know much about “Beyond Skyrim,” but it doesn’t sound like what I’m looking for.

      If I find the right project, I’ll jump in. But most of what I see is just mods or recreations of existing games.
