Welcome to the game development community! This is a place to talk about and post anything related to the field of game development.
Some interesting industry news for you here. Epic Games have announced a change to the revenue model of the Epic Games Store, as they try to pull in more developers and more gamers to actually purchase things.
I made a website. It's called One Million Chessboards. It has a million chessboards on it. Moving a piece moves it for everyone, instantly. There are no turns.
Games can be made in many different ways. Many games are made using big, general purpose game engines such as Unity and Godot. I enjoy using the Odin Programming Language combined with Raylib. Odin is a C-like programming language and Raylib is library for drawing graphics, checking input and playin...

There are accusations that a necessary part of the the Homebrew Channel uses code stolen from Nintendo. It uses libogc, which is the C Library for Wii and Gamecube homebrew. The allegations say libogc uses either code from the Nintendo SDK, or code decompiled from games using it. However, some people are claiming this isn't true.

Since I had no real marketing experience, I've been learning by listening to GDC talks and Chris Z's videos whenever I have "dumb chores" time or similar. More and more, I see proof of the great advantages of making small games: building on past releases, proving your ability to ship, and confronting yourself with the market as early as possible.

My 2.5D Beat-em-up is almost ready!
I've been working on this game on and off for the past 5 or so years and I'm finally getting to the point that I feel I can release a demo soon. I'm almost there.
Progress on my game project
It's a sort of crafting dungeon crawling merchant game. Inspired by games like Vintage Story and Moonlighter.
The loop is simple:
Wonderful to see! Ubisoft announced yesterday that they've open sourced their colourblind simulation tool Chroma (UbiChroma as it's called on GitHub), after several years of internal use and development.
The open-source tool allows developers to simulate a colorblind person’s experience while gaming.
