Hi all,
I’ve decided to start a GameDev community as I didn’t see any on this instance or others.
What’s your relation with game development?
I’ll start; I’m a hobby game developer at most, mainly having experience with MonoGame (based on XNA) but I switched to C# + SDL2 (using SDL2-CS). Currently writing my own semi-engineless game (I don’t want to say that I’m building my own engine, but I do have some reusability for my own sake) while figuring out SDL2 and always looking for best practices.
I tried Unity, GoDot, Unreal Engine and more over the years, but as someone with a background in software development the freedom of the code-first approach always works better for me.
Welcome!
I’d highly recommend trying Godot 4 Mono then, which uses dotnet 6 (they’re slowly working on 7 support too). A lot of community resources say C# is bad for Godot but in my experience it’s super great. Especially since you can set up some csproj files for compiling independent chunks of your code, which is really helpful on bigger projects
That does sound pretty good, thanks! I’ll check it out whenever I find the time and inspiration.
