I’m thinking of making this a more technical community, rather than discussing marketing and business issues of game dev. But I might be biased. One thing for sure is that I’ll allow ‘showoff’ posts, for now unless the flood the place.
EDIT: also disclaimer i’ll be straight up astroturfing this place for a day or two to attract commenters. Feel free to replace my weak attempts at discussion with better posts.
I’m interested in finding a community for game developers on Lemmy. Considering Lemmy’s current size, I’d say it’s best not to reduce the scope to just technical stuff, so that more people and topics are welcome and the place can grow. Just my 2 cents.
I don’t want this place to end up like reddit or gamedev.net, where almost all posts are either thinly veiled advertisements pretending to be asking for critiques or highly specific marketing questions. I’d like to attract the game engine developer type of people, not the asset flippers.
