curious about something. wanna see how big the #GameDev community on mastodon is. are you a game developer? plz boost for reach

EDIT: i cannot prescribe that anyone is a gamedev or in what capacity. if you don't self identify as a gamedev, vote no, if you self identify as a professional gamedev even if you're doing it alongside a dayjob, pick the professional category. there are no wrong answers

Nope
45.7%
Yes, professional

Yes, hobbyist
28.1%
Yes, former/retired
4.3%
Something else
5.1%

@eniko
I could … like I studied gamedev.
But the current scene is awkward to work in - Unity untrustable, UE a resource hog, Godot 4 I'd like to get into … but the fact that the .NET runtime is unoptimized makes it a soft no for me (though I could as well just build everything in C++ 🤷‍♂️), and all the other fancy .NET engines aren't enticing either.
I'd call it "It's complicated somewhere between Yes, former/retired and Something else".
