We had Charlie Brandick, founder of Quetzal Core Games, on the IndieGameBusiness Podcast, and this is what he had to say about one of the fastest ways to grow as a game developer. Working with other people exposes you to new perspectives, better workflows, honest feedback, and skills you may never develop while working entirely on your own.
Collaboration can help you identify weaknesses, solve problems faster, and learn from people with different experiences. Whether you join a team, find a mentor, participate in a game jam, or simply ask other developers for feedback, surrounding yourself with the right people can accelerate your growth.
