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!

    I’m a hobbyist working with Unity. I have messed around with making games in some form since I was a kid, but only got serious about it as a hobby some years back. I started out biting off way more than I could chew, but eventually started over, did some game jams, and started actually releasing games. I’m tired of jams for the time being, though, so I am taking another stab at a more long-term project.
