If you're a #gamedev and looking for a place to land from #cohost, respond to this post with some info about your project and I'll boost you!

Some cohost mutuals did the same for me when I got here (@eniko 💜)

I hope you find a home here!!

@britown should i boost this? it will be A Thingâ„¢ for you if i do
@britown @eniko yeah, i am. thank you. worked in AAA and indie alike

@britown I'm working, admittedly very intermittently, on The Nadir, a Metroidvania about hitting rock bottom.

It's very slow going as I'm still learning art and animation, and prototyping mechanics, but I have a draft soundtrack for it, my first real complete musical endeavor:

@SaberaMesia Welcome! This is so cool!!!

@britown Thank you!!! I just got the hang of disembodied slashing animations recently so I'm like, making progress on various fronts! hahaha

Thank you for putting out this call. I loved cohost and it's great to see warm communities forming in its wake

@SaberaMesia
People's experiences seem to vary a lot by instance so I can't speak for the entire fediverse but I've honestly had such a great positive experience with the folks here!
@britown I'm glad to hear it! I ran an instance for a couple of years, from 2018 to 2020, and I shut it down because I was unhappy running an instance and with my overall experience with other instances, but that was a long time ago.

@britown oh, i remember you from cohost! nice to see you here—i'm veryroundbird over there, and i'm primarily a ttrpg dev.

my current "main" project in development is a tabletop game about elves living in diaspora, but i also have a couple twine games (one atmospheric/psychological, one romance/horror) in the pipeline.
