I wonder... what would happen if solo devs gather up in a single team?

The reason for being solo tends to because of the shortage of skilled people to carry out the tasks. I'd expect a lot of interesting code and no front-end if they all team up.

I do alot of the work on my projects so in some ways it's kinda almost solo i do programming and art etc. I do have a team that help out with stuff inbetween that i get stuck on etc though :D.

im also a solo-dev. its hard for me to assign jobs of a project to other people and when i see i need some different modding-aspect im interested enough to learn it by myself

Most works I did/will ever do are small projects, so I'd rather work alone and build the game/skin/audio-track the way I see fit.

I am working on my programming and animation skills. Took ages for me to narrow it down to two tasks that I would like to focus on.

I do voice acting and beta testing... buuuuuuut that doesn't belong anywhere in dev roles... right?

Well without voice acting - No realsim in game.
Testing - Not polish games.
So i say those parts are needed aswell, even if ur right its not a direct dev thing.

I'll just quote someone elses answer "Mapper + Modeler + Texture Artist = Level Designer" . So technically 3 but ultimately 1.

If you are using custom models (eg. environment) and textures (eg. new terrain textures) to design a level, there are 3 roles :P

I solo because it allows me to develop a wide skillset. I like it because I do enjoy the challenge and the benefits of doing everything.

So far all I do is mapping. I'd probably do more work, if only I could model or texture

to be honest, I like working alone but sometimes I wish I had a team, so I take ages to get any progress done. I have had to learn how to model (Still beginner), I need to learn how to make textures, but at least when I have some progress done it is to my satisfaction.

I prefer to have a small + specialized + talented team.

But yep, I'm so neurotic and perfectionist.
<So if you want to do it well, do it yourself!> That's my motto. ;P

That means manage, webmastering, coding, non-organic modeling, mapping and stuff I can't ever remember.
