What I think is important right now....
First - I am a single developer here at the moment... take a look at my game, not much to the bare eye now you think?... it wil grow! And so will we! And I'd love to be working on the game now, especially with all that fresh feedback.... but

What we need to do right now! Is to go out and catch all the young and established promising agile developers that are willing to participate and grow/evolve with this!

Leave GOOD constructive comments!

Talk to guys, we are all shy, I'm getting over it too =)

We want to encourage newcommers to grow with their projects here!

This isn't the same vote up/down game we have on all other sites, this is clever and if we all are open for this there is no room for cheaters because we are all real and not playing something that we are not! And then WE get the fanbase we deserve and the moneymakers can do their thing some other place...

We have been set equal with all the big publishers now! That is a quick test I think because the press isn't talking about it, so I think Valve must be getting a lot of pressure right now. I think they want to see this happen as bad as I do... but who knows when they are forced to open back doors for tripple A games again so they don't loose them....

This is all just my opinion at this point, correct me anytime!

Hi there! First of all, thank you for inviting me to this group, even though I'm not a dev :) I enjoy talking about games and game design none the less, but do have a bit of a problem with talking in general, which is a point I guess I'd like to explore first.

It seems like the major problem for me with starting a conversation is being able to keep up with it and answer, which may or may not be a problem with some devs as well. After all, a lot of projects on greenlight appear to be the work of one individual, and there just seems to be a problem with keeping up with the conversation of one's game and actually developing it, or it would seem like there would be that problem, since I've encountered the problem of finding that balance of work and communication from many discussions before, though not neccesarily related to game development. Also, as you said yourself c023 (if you don't mind me using that name to adress you :] ) we are all shy, so it can be a real struggle to maintain some level of socialness, and then be able to work. So, yeah, talk is hard to does :)

Learning by doing, you learn by taking notice of a problem and then working on it, so I think you are on the best way to become a pro at whatever you want to allready by seeing the need of improvement - sounds simple but gets harder the older you get ;)
(edit) and sorry yes that is a very very common problem the soft skills we call them ...

Not really shy - just careful. Sometimes voicing an opinion gets you downvotes. Downvoting was a bad idea that invites troll activity.
thats ok but what it comes down to in the end is if you know what you are doing.
(edit) tired but one shot: just keep it real, if they troll it to hard, moderate... try to educate at least with fun ;)
