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

[withinity@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@failedLyndonLaRouchite I believe it. Sometimes I think the only way to do it is to start my own where I actually make sure people are getting something out of it. The problem is I don't think those ones get much money :(.

@withinity welcome !

[withinity@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@vampgun Thank you!

@withinity If I see the number of boosts, you must have reached quite a few people to hang out with...

@martinlentink Yea its overwhelming to be honest. Extremely positive, but its a lot.

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@withinity The local timeline is hidden away under the "Live feeds" button on the sidebar if you're using the web interface.

Peak hours (as I'm able to observe them) are generally around morning to noon on week days in the Americas and in European time zones, and the most significant peaks are during the day on Saturdays. There's no magic recommendation algorithm here so the way to get eyes on something is to post it when people are active (and to post to hashtags people follow).

[nxskok@cupoftea.social]

@dasparky @withinity following hashtags is a good general principle.

[uncoolmouse@retro.pizza]

@withinity welcome to fedi! I dunno if they've been tagged yet but @aeva , @eniko , and @witch_warren are a few folks that I follow!

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

[vantablack2000@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@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

@HadroSoft
@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.
