Hi there, folks - I'm Scott Starkey, a software developer and part-time magician living in Indiana. I'm not a big fan of the stuff that Reddit is doing, so I thought I'd explore other options.
I'm also available on Mastodon with a bevy of accounts:
We seem to be lacking some communities that I'd like to see on Lemmy, specifically #Magic, #Esperanto, #GameDevelopment, and maybe #Freemasonry. Maybe I'll volunteer to set those up, once I figure out all the stuff.
Edit to say, I found an Esperanto forum: [email protected]
Yes! Finally, another game developer! There are dozens of us, dozens!
Hello there!
Cool, nice to meet you, @feidry! What sort of games do you develop?
I primarily design board and card games, but I've got a game I've been working on for Alexa / smart speakers to teach myself JavaScript.
One great part of living in the Midwest is the sheer number of game design conventions that go on during the year. Next month I'll be attending one of the Protospiels in Michigan to show off my works.
Nice to meet you, @Wizard! I primarily make simple 2D games, mostly in Unity though I'm switching over to Godot I think. The "Free as in Free Beer" aspect is very attractive, as well as having all the engine source code available.
Good luck at the show!
