A letter to independent game developers
Dear independent game developers:
Hello everyone! Today is a special day. I am very excited to tell you the good news: the independent game developer community was formally established. We don't need to be scattered in major forums, we don't need to leave the streets, and no one listens to us. We will have our own community, our own home, and a free stage for independent people!
The idea of creating an independent game developer community emerged countless times in my mind. Why should I create an independent game developer community? What is her value? Today, I will discuss and share with you the answers to this question. When I want to answer this question, I feel that I don't know where to start.
When I run on major game forums and read the experiences of independent game developers, I really feel the sincerity and selfless dedication of their hearts, in the era of mobile Internet and smart devices, they are eager to make independent games and create independent games. I am also aware that they are eager to pursue success and realize their dreams! They are selflessly building independent games for independent people and persistently creating independent games. However, the actual environment is cruel and the competition is fierce. Independent game developers are vulnerable groups. They lack development funds to compete with large companies and open sales channels with large companies. The hard work may fail to be completed due to lack of funds, or the lack of channels may lead to the failure to promote or publish the work. We are helpless, but we are also deeply in love. In the staggered reality and dream, we are struggling to create and move forward.
When I saw the development of independent games in foreign countries in full swing and achieved great success, I think that in China, we should also be able to achieve development and success. When Google and Baidu searched for an independent game community, they could not find one. The voice of independent game developers is distributed on forums and blogs around the world. At this moment, I can't help but say, "If there is a dedicated independent game developer community, how nice it is to communicate, communicate, and discuss on a platform ." This may be a luxury, but it became my original intention to create an independent game developer community.
Concept of independent game developer community: free, independent, shared, open, innovative, and free
Freedom: in the community, there are no rules, no dogma, no restraint, and do what you want to do;
Independence: everyone in the community is an independent individual and is not controlled by others;
Sharing: in the community, our technology and experience are shared with the world and there is no secret;
Openness: in the Community, we embrace various ideas and technologies;
Innovation: in the community, we will create unique and distinctive works for users;
Free: we do not aim to make profits, but create classic works for users.
Tasks of the independent game developer community:

Free combination, creating a passionate and free professional test team,
Free market, creating a professional independent game app store.
Here, we are both users and creators;
Here, we experience the joy of free creation of life and pass it to the world.
Mission of the independent game developer community:
So that small and medium-sized developers in the world do not have a hard game,
So that small and medium-sized developers in the world do not have a hard-to-push game.
Life is short, and life is short. Living is not for yourself. It is a lofty mission to solve financial, team, technology, and channel difficulties for small and medium-sized developers and make every outstanding independent game available. With this lofty sense of mission and sense of responsibility, with the hope of this vision, I have made a deep appeal:
We welcome those who are interested in the development of independent games to make suggestions and contribute to creating a beautiful community and home for gamers and the world.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. In the remaining years, planting, fertilizing, growing, and developing have become a milestone in the development history of independent games!
