   I’ll think about the essence of different creative works and get more experience with game development. I shouldn’t forget that making something great takes a lot of effort and time

   Since game development takes a lot of time, wouldn’t it be good to get feedback along the way? If I do it all by myself, I might lose my direction. Of course, apart from that, I still need to work hard on it for a long time

   Thanks for the feedback! Improving the landing page is on my list, and like you said, I need to hurry up and add a guest mode so people can play without an account.

   The fact that most masterpieces we see come from tons of trial and error. I’ll keep that in mind. My goal is to give back the gratitude I feel for what I’ve gotten from the internet and creative things like games, movies, and novels I love.

   It’s all about experimenting, learning, and copying, right? Staying excited about it matters a lot too. Thanks for the great comment!

   I need to think harder about my vision, my intrinsic motivation, and my passion. Thanks for the important reminder I’ll check out the essay and book you mentioned too

    I’d never heard of Gamedev.city, thanks for letting me know! I’ve already made a Discord server and a few people have joined, so I’ll try asking for feedback often while building

    Thanks for the great book recommendation! Since so many people suggest Tynan Sylvester’s book, I’ll make sure to read it first.

    Breaking down my favorite games and talking about them really helps grow my thinking. I should chat more with friends I’m building with or other gamers around me.

    Wow, so much info here! I’ll go through it all today and dive deeper into the fun and useful stuff. Thanks a lot!

    I need to dig deeper into the games I love and study them. That’ll really sharpen my intuition, and I’ll keep working hard. Thanks for the comment :)

    Working with experienced people taught me in my first startup how fast you can learn that way. If I get the chance, I’d love to work with great people and learn from them. Thanks so much for recommending the book and Liz England’s blog. I’l

    I’ve always just watched Game Jams and never joined, but this time I really want to give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation :)

    When I try to build something too big, I often get overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. I’ll try starting small. Thanks for the resource recommendations too

    I should definitely try building small things and experimenting a lot. Asking people early like I did this time with Hacker News was a great move. If I hadn’t, I might’ve gotten lost and wasted a lot of time. Also, if I just study too much,

    This is an approach I’ve never thought about before. Studying board games could definitely teach me how to design games in a simple and effective way. I’ll check out the board games you mentioned too, thanks!

    That’s a thought-provoking point. Sometimes I feel like I push myself too hard in the process of building stuff.

    While building this social network called Disquiet mentioned in the post, I got to connect with over 100,000 people in the Korean startup scene. And yeah, I’ve noticed that most of us including me end up listening more to thought leaders. T

    I should probably experience the best stuff out there, take it apart, and make it my own. I’m not going to stop, I’ll keep going.

    This is the best comment. I’m far from San Francisco and Silicon Valley, so I end up mostly consuming what the thought leaders there say since it’s easier to access. There’s definitely a tendency for me to lean on that. It’s great to hear m

    > This doesn’t make me feel like I’m reading something written by someone that cares about games - it makes me think the author reads a lot of VC substacks and played League of Legends for a while. After reading this sentence, I realize
