Yea, I get what you mean. I have a big brother and he's definitely into a forum-style type of online socializing in regards to communities. I'm aware of the method of first vibing with a community and building up a stronger connection before a "heeey look at my thing. would love your thoughts and support". Even having just a little bit of social interaction and time before posting something helps lessen the blow and increase the "ok, so what's this" tolerance. Also, yea as you mentioned, knowing the top-Gs of a community in regards to what they value helps with the message delivery.
Definitely, BTC/LN with Nostr was a core to develop with the site for the passed first release. It opens up all roles (gamers, modders, gamedevs) to spend and receive without restriction and headaches (this is from experience as I'm in an environment where its extremely difficult to use fiat systems).
Funny you brainstorm-suggested that, because of two points:
  1. I'm a massive indie game lover, and a noob indie gamedev as well, and I've also covered indie game news/previews/reviews and have interviewed multiple indie devs as well (among other things like being a part of running local gamejams and game test night events in the past), under different names.
  2. I actually wrote about what it would be like to have a platform like Steam (/ like itch) on Nostr check it out if you're interested, where if everything went smoothly with DEG Mods and it became relatively successful, I was thinking of soft-starting on doing just that, where DEG Mod's development would help expedite planning, design, and development of such a platform, but of course, the scope would be much larger and there would be more variables and problems to solve, but if it ever comes to it, I'm confident it can be done =3
Ah, gotcha. It would definitely help speed things up if funds came in, as I'm basically trying to get more jobs to spend personal funds on to pass the next development milestones, which would take time. The main reason why there's reluctance on my end about starting a company is because of where I am and my nationality if we're talking about setting up a company to receive traditional investments. We can move this specific discussion via DMs on Nostr if you'd like, to discuss options, what's possible, roadblocks, and so on. (I just followed you).
(btw i think your nostr link in SN in your profile is broken. Seems like they've changed the URL structure and that's why its not leading to your profile correctly)
Oh good catch - I just fixed the profile link and send you DM on nostr :)
