I called on #SoloDev to make a starter pack...and then it got full. I had a look at the overflow and it's awesome stuff, so here's Edition #2 of the Lone Wolf Pack. #solodev #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #games go.bsky.app/EieYxPE

the real reason its called C# thank you @bouncy2d.bsky.social for letting me guest

Vancouver gamedev starter pack is growing fast! 🥰 go.bsky.app/UXXPXjm

I collected a bunch of Vancouver folk into a starter pack. Some I know. Some I don't. BUT they are all creative and cool! A lot of game dev overlap, but not all folks are devs. If you're a creative in Vancouver, post a comment or a DM and I'll add you (I might be slow). go.bsky.app/411UerA
