If you work alone did you ever think about working together with others and if so why aren’t you doing so now?

Started off solo, then added a group of about 4 other devs when my project took off. Now we have a company of 4 and hire contractors to help out. It’s been a wild ride.

I once found someone interested in starting a project together but he lost interest within a week.

Solo currently. I do some freelance narrative design consultancy on the side, and I’d rather find something full-time and long term.

Everyone(Who is not a professional game dev yet) has their own projects because they feel more control and freedom working on their own project. As a result we all have 30 unfinished projects and that’s it.

Well said. I think it’s also hard to find people (or even one person) that has a similar skill level as you and is someone who you can work well with. Like, I am absolutely open to working with someone but I’d want them to be similarly skilled (or unskilled however you want to look at it) as me and I want to like them as a person as well. Otherwise it’ll feel too much like work.
