Hey everyone, slight update on the game development communities in the instance
I did a poll before where it seemed like the majority of people (60%) wanted to keep all content in this community but there was around 40% of people that wanted content separated out
This community is being handled the same way c/programming is where its a collector community for all gamedev content. This is the same as its been but in addition to this theres now child communities for the different kinds of content (for people who want to subscribe or browse to one specific thing)
There was some older communities added onto the community chain and some new ones that got made
Parent
- !programming@programming.dev - All programming related content
This
- !gamedev@programming.dev - All gamedev related content
Children
- !gamedev_showcase@programming.dev - Community for showing off games
- !game_design@programming.dev - Community about game design
- !gamedev_discussion@programming.dev - Community for discussion about gamedev
- !gamedev_news@programming.dev - Community for news relating to gamedev
Feel free to crosspost to different levels of the chain (although try not to spam the higher levels of the chain with similar articles, etc.). Lemmy handles crossposts pretty well in the UI where you can toggle between the different locations it was posted in, and it only appears once in the feed in the default UI (certain alternate UIs may not have that feature implemented yet but its possible to add it in to them if you want to give the devs a feature request)
Also feel free to crosspost into the engine specific communities if it relates to them
