Feel free to link relevant communities here! When I think they’re relevant enough I’ll add them to this opening post.

Alternative game development communities:

Engines/frameworks:

Art and story:

Game- and industry news:

Modding, reverse engineering and preservation:

Game development jobs:

Things of note: The 2nd link in the list above is a relative link; as long as you’re on a Lemmy-instance, it should link to the right community relative from your instance. If you get an error saying ‘404: couldnt_find_community’, you will have to search for the community first. For example: /search/q/!gamedev@lemmy.ml/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1. You will get no results, but visiting the linked community should now work. It can take a little bit of time, and posts might not instantly show up. If it still doesn’t work, the linked instance might be blocked on your current Lemmy instance. I’d recommend asking your admins for support at that point.

    Think there are probably enough general gamedev communities to be getting on with already tbh

      Yeah I think that brings it up to 5 now although ive been trying to avoid using lemmy.ml where possible, and both pineapplemachine and pawb are less active

      Figured might as well make one in programming.dev to match with the separate engines and then we can see if its active or not. Worst case it can be used as a space to direct people to one of the other ones
