Self Improvement
A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.
While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.
This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.
Rules and guidelines:
- Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.
- Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.
- Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.
- Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.
- Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.
I've been working on an idle game for loosely a couple months now. I've got all the systems and features down and working the way i want, but I'm just so bad at creating the content and balancing. It takes me so long to add new items and such; I find it to be the boring part of game dev and i wish I could sit and focus on it for an extended period of time and just grind it out.
I'm so close to having an alpha release though, so I'm very happy about that!
Dope as hell!! Which engine are you using? Or did you make everything from scratch like a wizard?
Everything from scratch, it is written in c# blazor, so it runs in the browser as wasm. Its just a text based game, though.
Making your own game is so cool. What kind of idle game is it? I've never fucked with that genre.
If that part is not enjoyable, would you be open to collaborate with somebody else on that part? There's at least one other game dev on Hexbear but probably more
In any case, make sure to post the game on here so that we can try it when it's playable
Its inspired by similar games like A Usual Idle Life and Progress Knight.
I do actually enjoy working alone on things, even on stuff that I don't necessarily enjoy doing. Ill definitely be posting an alpha here as soon as its ready
