If you work alone did you ever think about working together with others and if so why aren’t you doing so now?

    Started off solo, then added a group of about 4 other devs when my project took off. Now we have a company of 4 and hire contractors to help out. It’s been a wild ride.

    Alone, although I’ve been wanting to attempt a game jam collaboratively with someone else. Feel like I would learn a lot that way

    On game jams, on my own. At work, in a huge team - over 700 now. Of course, I’m in a much smaller team overall, around 7 of us.

    Everyone(Who is not a professional game dev yet) has their own projects because they feel more control and freedom working on their own project. As a result we all have 30 unfinished projects and that’s it.

      Well said. I think it’s also hard to find people (or even one person) that has a similar skill level as you and is someone who you can work well with. Like, I am absolutely open to working with someone but I’d want them to be similarly skilled (or unskilled however you want to look at it) as me and I want to like them as a person as well. Otherwise it’ll feel too much like work.
