SoloDevelopment - game development, programming, indie developers, indie games, video games. A community for solo developers to share, learn, and support each other. Solo devs manage their entire project alone—no teams, just individual effort. Using assets, outsourcing, or working with publishers is fine, but the core development should be solo. Anyone can participate, but posts promoting non-solo projects may be removed. The goal is to keep this space focused on true solo development, so members can compare experiences fairly and get relevant advice.
