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

@eniko It's funny how I work for one of the world's largest game companies, but I don't consider myself a game developer.

I'm even listed in the credits of several games, as the company's big on "everyone has contributed to this" which is true, but I'm a systems engineer who is pretty far detached from the action.

@foo sounds like you might secretly be a gamedev to me

@eniko I'm not prescriptive; if you want to identify me as a gamedev, there are no wrong answers ;)
