If you contribute to the creation of games but don't think you're worthy of calling yourself a game dev, hmu. I'll be happy to berate you into accepting it. 🤣 #GameDev

✨✨✨ No matter what platform gets you into #gamedev, you should not be ashamed. Twine, RPG Maker, RPG in a Box, Halo Forge, Fortnite Creative, UEFN, Roblox, Scratch, Game Maker, etc. Being a solo dev is hard. Your ideas can always be remade in more powerful engines. Just finish it 💖💖💖

FWIW, I've had to answer the "do I count as a game dev?" question so many times since starting the labeler. I hate it. I hate it because there's no reason you _shouldn't_ call yourself a game dev. It literally just means "I make games." It doesn't matter if it's a AAA title or an IF, you make games.

All the gatekeeping that happens is hot fucking garbage, and I'll shout that from the rooftops for the rest of my days.
