Hi all,

I’ve decided to start a GameDev community as I didn’t see any on this instance or others.

What’s your relation with game development?

I’ll start; I’m a hobby game developer at most, mainly having experience with MonoGame (based on XNA) but I switched to C# + SDL2 (using SDL2-CS). Currently writing my own semi-engineless game (I don’t want to say that I’m building my own engine, but I do have some reusability for my own sake) while figuring out SDL2 and always looking for best practices.

I tried Unity, GoDot, Unreal Engine and more over the years, but as someone with a background in software development the freedom of the code-first approach always works better for me.

Welcome!

    I always think it’s really cool to create a game without an engine, and maybe one day, I’ll do it too, but for now I stick with Godot. I started with GDevelop, moved onto unity and then once I realized there were fans of depreciating old packages without fully releasing new ones, and leaving a bunch of things in a limbo start I moved onto Godot, and it’s been a real pleasure!

    Though, there are a few other things that interest me, like Defold, LOVE2D and Twine.
