We’re Rivals, Not Enemies

TL;DR
Negativity is everywhere, but there’s also a lot of positivity. Surround yourself with good people, don’t fear asking for help, and remember: indie developers are not enemies or true rivals—we’re all running our own race.

**Hello, **

There’s a lot of hate out there. A lot of negativity. A lot of reasons to stay quiet and hide.

But I believe there’s even more love, positivity, and reasons to show up.
Be present. Be seen.

You need to be around the right people.

On X, there are so many kind builders willing to help. Just ask.
Do it without fear, and also leave room for them not to reply.
No pressure, no expectations.

We are all indie developers. We might appear to be competing for the same users or attention, but we are not enemies.
Honestly, we’re not even real rivals.
We’re not running against each other.
We’re all running our own race.

Take care.
If I can help you in any way, let me know.

I can’t leave without mentioning Thomas Sanlis.
Amazing person. Thank you.
