    What's your motivation for developing games?

    Hello guys! It is no mystery for some of you that I'm working on a game called Grav1ty. It is a metroidvania-inspired space-exploration game. A few days ago, I caught me thinking about the inspirations and motivations behind Grav1ty (I even made a tweet about it!). The truth is that in a world...

    Opinion Anyone here using Mastodon?

    One day a developer got entirely fed up with Twitter. His issues with it were manifold, but essentially boil down to a lack of community building, a centralized authority, and a lack of control to prevent online harassment. And if you need to be convinced how clueless Twitter can be managed...

    Is there a place where Devs livestream their projects in the making?

    In simple terms, is there a platform where people who use gamemaker do livestreams of their projects in the making? I tried looking up the gamemaker topic on twitch.tv and nothing came up. Perhaps there should be a part of the yoyogames community dedicated to this? I think it is a clever idea...

    GameMaker Podcasts?

    Hi all. Does anyone know if there are any podcasts centered around GameMaker? I know there a bunch of game dev podcasts (indie, etc.), and the more general ones are cool.
