Hi all. I took over this community several months ago as the previous owner disappeared (as many do, no judgment.) Now I’m trying to regularly share news that is relevant for both developers and hobbyists. (Studio news, software milestones, talks, interesting columns/posts, etc.) I think I’ve done an okay job, but it’s still pretty low in search results when you search “gamedev Lemmy”, so I’m adding it here in case any of you out there are interested in the field.
I got here from a thread asking for smaller communities trying to replace subreddits, but I’d point out that I used to hang in an IRC chat with some r/gamedev mods, and they were cool. I even made pals with one of them. I just don’t trust Reddit as a company. So this is my way of trying to facilitate a healthy option, and follow the adage of “the grass is greener where you water it”.
So if you’re into video game development and the industry around it, feel free to join!
