I see the who’s a gamedev discourse has kicked up again I’ve struggled at times to feel like a gamedev my whole career “You’re just making movies, not gameplay” my brain has told me, time and again So I remind myself: If you work on games, you’re a gamedev. Full stop 💙

      @TerranGregory But I am NOT. Except for that one time I did some SC2 UI writing for fun. I was a dev for that day. Oh and I worked out how to submit flavour text for Hearthstone cards so if they pick one of mine then I will be a dev that day too. But you are most def a dev. Devlord.

        @Sunset_SC2 @TerranGregory Are you not? Anyone who helps us do any aspect of creating games - is a "game dev". PR, programmers, artists, narrative, legal, marketing, packaging, test, and more. It all has to magically come together for any chance at success.

          @Qwik @TerranGregory 😩 🙏 I DO believe we’re all a big team, but I’ve never thought of myself personally as a “dev,” as such. Then again, I’ve never considered myself fully PR/marketing/publishing or whatever either, so this could be a me problem - not being able to classify myself 🫠

            @Sunset_SC2 @Qwik @TerranGregory Big same! I'm sure it's also a me problem but I just consider myself part of their team. They develop and I help ship it. I dunno. I have a cool jacket that says "Development Team" though so must be true! 😎
