So I dunno where to ask advice about this nowadays, but I’m getting into Lemmy and here seemed as good as anywhere :)....

Its Monday so we’re continuing on with the daily questions of the day!

This is a bundle for courses on game development created by GameDev.tv, which are pretty good at teaching. The $25 bundle includes their Complete Godot 4 course and their Unreal Engine Blueprints course which might be very useful to people trying to break into game dev....

Going to start doing daily questions of the day here about misc game development topics. Probably also going to start some over in !game_design as well...

Welcome to feedback friday, this is just a thread where you can ask for some feedback on something you might be working on related to game development...

Which is somewhat ironic, because I know that “sit and just do it” is the ideal start. Think less about choosing, just pick it up and go....

Im wanting to create a game and have been doing some stuff with SDL2. What libraries do you guys recommend? Is there any that are better? GLFW? GLUT? SDL? For a little context it will be a desktop game. More than that hasnt really been figured out as i just wanna build and see where it goes.

Pretty interesting take on a game jam. Theyve got 6 different days you can join and you need to continue a game someone made in the previous day
