Games and art can be quite different, but both are mediums that can have an audience. I volunteer at an arts organization and I do play games (board and some video). Both have vision. Feedback can be helpful. But a game has a time component to it. Its asking a lot more of the player. It needs to be fun, or the player will stop playing and your vision will stay stuck in the game. Some feedback is helpful to make it fun and let them experience/ see your vision. For Art, Open Studio events are really rewarding for artists to get their art out there and also talk to visitors. I did it for a few years. Putting your art out there for public consumption was hard. Some loved it (some enough to buy a few things), some did not. But I could talk to some of them and I grew and got better. For games one of the fun things I do during the year is go to "Figg Fest" https://www.bostonfig.com/fest-homepage/ https://www.bostonfig.com/fest-homepage/ Its been virtual, but I liked it better in person. Game makers display their games, and most have a version to play (some simplify as 2+ hour board games at a 5 hour convention...). I like talking to the board game makers, their inspiration and how they develop. They teach us visitors and watch us play. But if Solo development is your thing, thats cool too. I get not having things "wateredown by committee" but feedback can be helpful.
