Hey folks! First time poster and keen to get involved with the community....

The GBA Game Jam 2024 is back after a 2 year hiatus! (itch.io)

Just placed 3rd at my first game jam!

Had to share with this community, I decided for my second game to just rip off the band-aid and I entered a game jam targeted at beginners. I placed 3rd - with 1st and 2nd going to more seasoned game developers. I never imagined that, going in, I would be on the pedestal. I just have to thank everyone that participates in game...

My idea for Vdl, Assembly of Vidya: A common runtime VM for vidya, supporting a postfix stack language ---- basically, PostScript for vidya of 'Vidya Description Language', an standardized one!

I began programming when I was 16 and like most people my age (31) it was with some gaming-related DSL. Personally for me it was GML. I made a tetris game which my younger brother played to death but ever since the closest interest I have to vidya is Ncurses and X11. Which makes me think, why is there not such standard for...

[LogLog Games] Leaving Rust gamedev after 3 years (loglog.games)

LogLog games explain why they’ll stop using Rust for game development after 3 years, and caution why they think it’s the wrong tool for the job.

Figuring out character size for Pixel Asset Pack Jam #7 | Isometric (lemmy.zip)

Figuring out what size works best for the tileset I have made this far. I am glad that I found some time between commissioned work to get around this jam, it has been a nice change of pace to from ortho to iso. It has also been a challenge, mad respect for FFT pixel artists....

[Brackeys] The Future of Game Development (www.youtube.com)

TL;DR: Brackeys is back and will start making new videos for Godot!

Is there any demand left for 'game systems developers'? As in, people knowledgeable on Win32 or POSIX API, PE/ELF, Compilers and Interpreters, etc, when it concerns games exclusively? (+UNIX engine?)

I don’t think my knowledge is complete about Windows side of things (PE and Win32 API, MASM, VC++ etc) so I never dared apply for such jobs. But I have never seen one either.

Released my work building on a Godot tutorial as a short game - as it is my first, I'd appreciate any and all feedback :) (abnormalhumanbeing.itch.io)

A few weeks ago, I started on a basic tutorial for developing games in Godot: “Ultimate Instruction to Godot 4” on YouTube by Clear Code. My goal was to not just finish the tutorial, but to build on it and create a small game with semi-professional standards. Here is said game, my first attempt not only at developing in...
