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.

BUT YOU ARE A GAME DEV YOU DORK. DON'T BE A DORK. GET A GAME DEV LABEL.
