Hi all,

I've decided to start a GameDev community as I didn't see any on this instance or others.

What's your relation with game development?

I'll start; I'm a hobby game developer at most, mainly having experience with MonoGame (based on XNA) but I switched to C# + SDL2 (using SDL2-CS). Currently writing my own semi-engineless game (I don't want to say that I'm building my own engine, but I do have some reusability for my own sake) while figuring out SDL2 and always looking for best practices.

I tried Unity, GoDot, Unreal Engine and more over the years, but as someone with a background in software development the freedom of the code-first approach always works better for me.

Welcome!

Hi there! Just came across this community after recently creating a Lemmy account (yet another Reddit refugee I guess).

I'm glad to see a gamedev community on here! I've been a coder and a gamer all my life, but only this year after an amazing birthday present did I finally get into combining the two, and now I just completed my first gamejam.

Currently I'm only into Godot Engine, but I've also got an eye on some of these fantasy consoles like the PICO-8 or the TIC-80.

And I watch a ton of game design YouTube channels.
