Hi I am new to Mastodon, I don't really know what I am doing here yet.

@withinity the #Lisp hashtag has been quite busy with the #LispGames #GameJam lately, but for broader gamedev stuff just look at #GameDev.

@jandi @withinity

I was wanting to just link to them and not ping them, but this works too.

It is missing @LukaTheMouse though that is one of the devs at Alblune Studios other than that the list is right.

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@withinity Welcome to the neighbourhood!

[timkrief@framapiaf.org]

@withinity I also make games Using GodotEngine since 2017

I try to only use FLOSS

[tschundler@leds.social]

@withinity @dekirisu shares some fun-looking game dev progress here sometimes. (I believe all with Rust + Bevy)

[timo21@mastodon.sdf.org]

@withinity just use a hashtag and then names of subjects you like, in the search.

[numerfolt@kirche.social]

@withinity You're welcome

@ClarusPlusPlus

She is developing a side scrolling game loosely based on Zelda 2. The demo for Enigma Hearts is out, and I've heard great things. Can't wait until I can find the time to play it. That's a good place to begin, I'd say.

@withinity if you want a feed of usually mundane, sometimes bizarre, but always unsafe consumer products, the @uscpsc feed is also occasionally leavened with shitposting

[lukathemouse@gamedev.lgbt]

@SnoopJ @VANTABlack2000 thank you both for the mention!!

@withinity on most mastodon clients, you can follow hashtags on particular topics like #decolonization #environment #technology #politics #science #history or your local city, which can be helpful for discovering interesting individuals not just org and brands.

[rozeboosje@masto.ai]

@withinity can't tell you much about gamedev or recommend people to follow on that specific topic, but check out @FediTips

[mikemccaffrey@mstdn.games]

@withinity My recommendation would be to check out hashtags of things you are interested in, and then follow the people who are posting interesting stuff.

[tuftears@wandering.shop]

@withinity I'd suggest Ron Gilbert of Monkey Island fame @grumpygamer and Andrew Plotkin of text adventures fame @zarfeblong

[kevinrns@mstdn.social]

@withinity

Use hashtags, they will come.

The trick of Mastodon is its artisanal, hand crafted, no algorithm to steer your posts.

Hashtags and follows and boosts are the rocket sleds of engagement.

[jeremiahfieldhaven@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@withinity Welcome

Some people I'd suggest at random, trying to avoid people you've already had recommended: @psychicparrot42 @sinbad @pixelkabinett @memoriesin8bit @crussel @draknek @namelessvoice @abban @DevteamLife @runevision @kenney @Nestach @maxim @lisyarus

If you're interested in gaming on linux at all, @gamingonlinux

[withinity@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@timkrief Nice! Added you

[withinity@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@tschundler Bevvy is pretty awesome! I do have a hard time giving everything over to ECS but I will follow them. Maybe they will convince me to try it again
