New member here. Do most people post up their ideas and what/how they want to achieve them before testing?

First of all welcome to the forum.

Most people post their ideas first then work on a demo and post it to feedback as you work on improving it.

Thank you for the welcome. There seems to be a nice, friendly atmosphere in this community. 🙂 I think I will start a new discussion in the same category to talk about what I’m working on. Hello just seems a little vague to me!

And although you are free to discuss anything here, the more detailed your idea the better the feedback you receive is. So write a short introductory paragraph or demo and get lots of feedback.

And welcome to the forum!

> hello world. i am starting this discussion to try and do a thread on a project i’m working on at the moment called solitary life. what i’d like to do here is just post a rough outline of what i’ve already sketched out so that you guys can take a look...

if you do like it, thank you! if you don’t or think there’s things that need improving i appreciate that too and am always looking for a way to improve the story. 🙂
