Hey #GameDev, what are everybody's thoughts on ads in the game dev feed? I'm looking for ways to support my work, so lemme explain about what this would look like. 🧵

A dedicated marketing channel for gamedev related stuff in the gamedev feed would be helpful to discover new stuff. Any chance a portion of those funds get reserved for something like producing a jam or charity? Keeping game dev money in the game dev community?

Im just suggesting the ad space would mostly be bought by indie devs because who is is more interested in indie games than other devs? Its a good place to get traction on a marketing campaign. And if thats true then why not return some of that back to the community through some sponsored event.

Like a jam or some charity. Which might actually open up more possible revenue streams for yourself through 3rd party sponsors. It both strengthens the community and opens up potential for more profit on your end, especially if it grows the gamedev feed year over year. Idk maybe I misunderstand.

Not at all, this is a great suggestion! We even discussed as a community hosting a Bluesky Game Jam last year but I never got around to it. This could deffo be an awesome way to go about it! Thanks so much for the suggestions. 💙
