Our world has been reshaped by this pandemic. Instead of talking about all of the terrible things, I thought for today we'd focus on one of the silver linings of this horrible event. Video games. Well, the video game industry. We've all been turning to old favorites and new adventures to escape and comfort us and it SHOWS. Look at Among Us and Fall Guys. Small games that may never have had the hype they now do . In fact, this is probably the BEST time to launch your own game and I will tell you why!

I'm a teenage solo video game developer working on a 2D open-world action-adventure game where you play as a fish dodging plastic in the ocean and looting sunken ships for food while running away from sharks and trying to survive in the dying ocean. The game isn't completly finished yet, and the currently released beta version is trash. The game is also has a bunch of hidden lore. Although the beta version sucks, the current version I'm working on doesnt, and once its finished (in a few months) It will be on steam, and I hope MatPat might even make an episode on it, since theres a lot of secrets and hidden lore. But, why am I even typing this comment, no one will read it or care abou it, lol, this is just a waste of my time I think, bye. If you are actually reading this than thank you, I guess this isnt a waste of my time! But no ones gonna read this...

Hello! I just wanted to say that there is a theory about the game Genshin impact and the two twins. Someone says that one of the twins had been taken 500 years in the future while the other one stayed at the same timeline when they got separated.

Wow it's almost as if the vast majority of government regulations doesn't in fact protect anyone and is just meant to maintain and expand the cronyistic regulatory complex that created the giant multinational corporations that people are constantly saying we need to be protected from by government regulations.

I'm starting to suspect throwing myself into making a fan game visual novel only (maybe) 10 people will ever play might not be the best use of my time, but I'm in too deep at this point. XD Will be fascinating to see if projects/groups form out of meeting from this video though.

OK so when Mat said to promote ourselves and collaborate, I came up with a cool idea, let's open a discord server rn for all of us to work on a video game project, I am technically a programmer(mainly C# tho I'm learning C++) but I will probably help in other ways because I bet people here are way more talented than me, anyway it could be awesome, joining forces and stuff, if anyone wants to do that I'll create a server and we can start working:)
Edit: I opened the server and you're welcome to join https://discord.gg/Abf8zaTV
jonathan s
@EpicBear discord.gg/Abf8zaTV It's really empty rn because i just opened it, if you want to help me add stuff to it DM me and I'll give you an admin role

I'm a bit late to this... but this is actually perfect for Artem Lounge, and anyone looking for ways to promote themselves besides getting lost in a comment section. I have a discord server that is mainly about art, but it's also used for promoting your skills. https://discord.gg/srxM4yKKNg
Of course, the theme is art, but this could really be anything like illustration, music, programming, game development, web development, performing arts, and any other art form. Not to mention, that this is perfect for people who are trying to make games. Since its an art form that requires many disciplines like music, animation, programming, writing, etc. Everyone that enters has to declare their abilities, and we have channels that are meant for finding people to work with. This could be passive, like finding people for a project, or professional, like looking for someone to hire.
Artem Lounge is more than just a discord server. But, on this occasion, I believe that it's enough knowing that there is a server you can join to advertise your skills and grow as an artist. For anyone curious, they can find out more about us on the server.
I hope this helps anyone, and I would be glad to see you on the server :) ... Later!

pvini07BR
i'm a brazillian who likes to create my own things, like stories or concepts. I've been working on some projects, like the "Virus Havoc" game i said before in this comments, and i'm also making a film for an animated series that i have, called "Historas do Pente", or translating, "Paint Stories". I'm only making the script for now. My dream is to have
recognition on the projects i make, because i'm taking too much effort for something that very few people know or watched it. It's sad. I also want to know programming, be better at drawing and maybe know how to make my own music for my projects.
I will also try to translate my projects into english, of course.

@Super Leaf 64 i have said what it is in another comment but ok, i will say it again here. it's a 2D shooting game, where your objective is to shoot some internet viruses with your laser gun and the final boss in each level. And in this game there will be A LOT of different laser guns to obtain and equip to use, there will be laser guns that will be single, dual, diagonal, bombs, thematic, etc. I am also planning and thinking of more features to add in the game, like a gun shop.
Super Leaf 64
What is virus havoc?
pvini07BR
i'm making a game called "Virus Havoc", a web 2D shooting game where you shoot in internet viruses and defeat bosses, and also gain different laser guns, with different damages and kinds. I don't need help in development for now, i just want to advertise my game better. I posted some screenshots and sneak peeks of my game on my twitter: @pvini07BR
when I need help development I will let you know.

promote myself? alright let's do this. I am a writer and an artist TWO IN ONE BABY. i've got LITTERALLY 8 stories in my head two of which are much more fleshed out then others but they've still got, in my opinion, great plots. i've told these stories to my friends and well i truly don't mean to brag i will only state the exact words i've been told "you are a storytelling genius". while i'm sure my writing has flaws here and there and i'm still developing my art skills i'm sure that one day i will release one of those stories and make a name for myself in the entertainment industry and then on release even more stories. i am very passionate about all of this and have been since i was 8. if anyone out there would like to make a littles girls dream come true lmk. i have a linktree on my channel if you would like to see some of my work.

Chillin Games
i started making a solo game on my spare time (@chillingamesdev on facebook, @ChillinGames on twitter) thinking of quitting my software job to work on it full time.... if i figure out how to do that.
Pac Doc
@Chillin Games I personally say this, a lot of stories that are made or just exist as a scene as a thought could rival FFT or even surpass it; would never see the light of day or were never given much of a spotlight to begin with. So I would never consider any untold story or a story that's not well known not be able to stand up to anything. It could stand up in its own merit, when its told, or when its given a spotlight to shine. So you could start in my opinion listening to certain music that could help create a scene in your mind as well, read books from authors like Evan Skolnick among other writers to get a good idea to organize it and to format it. Anyone including myself that would get into this; would be a journey to breath life to the world. If you ever decide to post your stories or have something posted would like read it.
Chillin Games
@Pac Doc well im not sure ill be able to stand up to the story in FFT, its one of the best in my mind but i do have some lore planned out. i actually have been self teaching myself how to world build and i have a world that i made a few short stories for and the game will take place in that same world (so will all my games probably). the world i made is like a possible future for us where in the next few years corporations completely take over and we ruin earth and have to go to the moon (there is a lot more to it). this game is going to take place right around the time most people are bailing to go to the moon and its kinda mad max times in the deserts outside of the big cities.
Pac Doc
@Chillin Games I'm not much to provide suggestions but do you have a theme in mind; for a tactical based RPG? I've love games that has a rich based lore type story that follows events that connects to a big event. FFXII had that in certain parts of its story; but I've always felt they could of explore it more. Good luck getting into the first step.
Chillin Games
@Super Leaf 64 ohh final fantasy tactics sorry, working on the grid this weekend, should be able to check it out at the links in original comment

Laurel Burks
“Promote yourself” I’m a high school freshmen who’s passion is Dance and Theater! I dance on my schools drill team and take classes at a studio after school and have done multiple musical productions and have been very involved in singing and acting since I was young! I hope to go somewhere like New York after high school and hope to make it into a good theater company and make connections, maybe even do traveling shows or something like that and/or do background dance/choreography work in movies and television and hope to maybe be on Broadway in some form, weather that’s being a swing actress, understudy, ensemble, anything, I just wanna be a part of it. I don’t plan to go to collage I don’t think, unless I go to a trade school and do a commercial dance program or be a theater major.. school has never been my thing and though I don’t exactly have a laid out plan for what I want to do after high school, I know that I have wanted to be a performer and go into the arts since I was young and I can’t wait to carry out that dream :)
Lee Hustedt
@Laurel Burks yeah you can, but an agent isn't exactly cheap and some are just out to cheat you so you should probably try to snag one or two jobs without one so you can tell if a future agent is trying to trick you. Or at least so you know what to look for in an agent from people who have worked with one before and recommend a good one. Cuz the worst thing you can do for your career is to get a bad agent.
Laurel Burks
@Lee Hustedt yes your totally right!! I thought about maybe getting a talent agent after high school so it will make finding/booking jobs a lot easier!! But yes completely!!
Laurel Burks
@태양VIX your the nicest person i lysm thank you so much for that! I have the confidence that I can make a living in the arts no matter big or small, sure it’s a hard field but it’s also a small field and a lot of it has to do with connections which I was lucky enough to learn a lot about from my previous dance coach of which team I was a leader on. and it’s really refreshing to hear full love and support instead of “is that realistic?” Or “you sure? The arts are a pretty tough field” from family and adults like Theater and training isn’t the only thing I’ve talked to them about since I was little. Ive just always been a performer and it’s where I’m most comfortable and I know a desk job just isn’t for me, thank you for the comment it truly made my day! Keep spreading love babe!
Lee Hustedt
Good luck, I'm sure you'll find something. There are a lot of sites on line where you can find auditions and other opportunities.

While you are correct for the most part about the PS5 being way more popular and successful, the objective of microsoft as you said is a little inaccurate. The focus some time ago from Microsoft actually shifted away from trying to win the console war to their xbox game pass/live service. You can get hundreds of games for a small monthly description and so far a lot of people have actually taken a liking to this massive shift. I could be wrong but it is my observation.

Hmmm, ok. I can do programming, 2d animation, and I'm also a bit of a writer. I've been into coding for about as long as I can remember, and I've been overflowing with games ideas for even longer. My recent interests for creating games have been graphic novels, and RPG games. I am on Discord and Twitter, so if you're looking for a programmer or 2d artist, I'm always looking forward to new oppurtunities.
