Revision as of 03:45, 20 November 2022
A little list of encouraging, supporting, jerk-intolerant Internet spaces.
- Glorious Trainwrecks
The forums are pretty quiet, but the people are lovely and talk a bunch via comments on the games. - ALT G's
A Discord channel with a lot of Glorious Trainwrecks overlap. - gamemaking.social
An offshoot of ❇this place❇. It's a Mastodon instance, so it's a microblogging thing like Twitter.
If you're interested in joining, and/or you're new to Mastodon, see: Guide:gamemaking.social - Game Making Tools Forum
Another offshoot of here. A new forum, which is also open to hosting subforums for any tools you're making. - timetheft.social
Invite-only Mastodon server, mostly the DOMINO CLUB crew?
Maybe?
I haven't joined any of these, but maybe they're good?
- Elekk
Mastodon instance. More game-player focused, but it's well moderated. - Game Dev Galaxy
'Discord group for gender-/sex-marginalized game devs making digital, analog, or experimental games. Different professions, skill levels, and styles welcome!' Gamedev PlaceCurrently a Mastodon instance, but maybe more in the future? Seems more professionally focused then here?
Actually I would not recommend this community. See: https://social.libre.fi/notice/9lc3iadTT8NFZhhkbQ and https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aras/102426826928659547 where the admin (and Unity developer) refuses to remove the account of a prominent anti-trans dickwad — rjt (talk)- PeopleMaking.Games
Another Mastodon instance. It's pretty new, but seems well moderated. - FreeGameDev.net
Forum focused on open-source game making. - intfiction.org
Interactive Fiction-focused forum. - One Hour Game Jam
Make a game in an hour. Runs every Saturday. There's a Discord. - Indiegames Online
Anther new Mastodon instance, haven't seen much of them. - indiepocalypse.social
One of a few 'indiegame' focused instances, butthe only oneone of two (see next entry too) that seems deliberately LGBTQ+ friendly. Not actually related to the Indiepocalypse game collections. - gamedev.lgbt
Another new Mastodon game-making instance especially for queer people.
