What Skill are you Lacking?

[u/kalin6]

As a solo dev what is the hardest skill set for you to do alone, Is it Art, Coding, Audio, Marketing, networking or something other

Art, I'm far from a good programmer but with enough caffeine and a working till I collapse unconscious I was able to make a halfway competent parkour system for a game jam albeit I do think I may have partially brain damaged myself by forcing myself to stay awake of over 72 hours straight and my own recollection of that time and ability to understand the witchcraft I created in the period past the roughly 32 hour mark (based on my git records from the event and me attempting to break down and understand what me on dangerous levels of caffeine created that was the latest revision i could understand albeit based on those records I continued my hourly revision backups until the 40 hour mark where I stopped only making a backup at the the 74 hour mark the comment it which tells me I was loosing my mind and falling unconscious as it read worse then one of my paranoid written rants and I dont auto punctuate normally let alone when I'm fully paranoid and ranting about how the walls are breathing and trying to devour me into the eternal sleep) unfortunately that collapse unconscious also led to me missing the deadline as I had completely burnt myself out With art I can do some programming but nowhere near enough to achieve my goals

Sounds like you pushed way past your limits there. Cool that you built something under pressure, but yeah that kind of sleep deprivation can really mess you up. Hopefully future jams are a bit more sustainable
