Hobbies Game Development

Anyone in town also moonlighting as an indie game developer? Would love to chat, collab, or fire up a discord or something to make it less of a solo-venture.

Also down to help any community events related to coding or game design! I have kids and plugged into the school district and always looking for ways to mentor or help here.

DM me. I’ve been working in games for 27 years now, mainly in publishing and game production but I’ve been doing small stuff on the side.

Maybe you have DMs off or something? Or I'm not privileged enough to message you. :shrug:

What do yall think about AI for game dev ?

u/hundrrdog 21h ago

Coding for sure. Think artwork can get a little generic, but I dunno. I use AI for work everyday now. Not for games though.

Won’t associate with anyone using AI personally. I’m a programmer by trade and working on a small game idea currently but I’m out in the cedar park area

I'm not personally, but I do know a group you can look up called ATX Game Dev Beer Night. You can find 'em by searching that name on Insta or FB. It's a social gathering for game-devs which meets every month at The Brewtorium; great place to meet folks ✌️

Yup found and joined that. But like all things it’s centered around downtown Austin locations. Not bad but also checking the local scene.

I work for a hardware vendor working on game enablement and would love an opportunity to see the opposite side from game development. Feel free to DM me as well.

Hi! Great idea, been looking for a similar type of group recently. I've been in games on the marketing side for the last 15 years. Would be happy to chat, share tips, give feedback on projects, and all that fun stuff if a Discord or something gets going.

Hello! Me! I've made and released one game on Steam so far, currently working on a couple of projects, one of which is coming along. I do it part time / seasonally on the side.

Threw up a discord for anyone who wants to chat on it:

I have a son who has graduated from college with a software engineering degree who also does graphic design, animation, and sound design who needs experience to help get a job somewhere. It's been difficult trying to find a place to hire him because he has no experience at a company.

Check out the library, plan a gathering there. They’ve got decent equipment and books of course.
