Visit These Game Forums
There’s a brief forum list I consider useful for beginner (and more experienced) game developers
Top 2 (in my list):
- IndieGamer (great place, professional attitude – business & development)
- GameDev (another good place, lots of content)
Couple of more interesting places to check:
- iDevGames (mac site – worth visiting)
- SHMUP-Dev (relatively new site with increasing popularity – mostly about arcade shooters, but there’s also other kind of content)
- IGDA (industry related)
Game engines & specific engine forums:
- DevMaster (great place to check for game engines)
- GarageGames forum (nice place, especially if you want to use Torque in your game development)
- BlitzBasic & Codersworkshop (If you want fast & easy game creation tools, check these sites)
There are others. Feel free to contribute & give your hints.
Thanks for the great links! I’ll be gradually checking them out. The one to Codersworkshop needs to be fixed though.
Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out.
hmm … its only for Pascalprogrammers (like me ;)): http://www.pascalgamedevelopment.com
I would like to say: STAY AWAY FROM FORUMS!!
lol, jk really. But there is a little thruth to this, atleast
for me, forums and the internet in general,
have had a huge inpact on the productivity I once
use to have due to the lack of an internet connection.
@mario.bb: in terms of *productivity* – I agree that forums can be something where you just spend too much time. But in terms of *learning something new* I think forums are great places to visit.
These are developers forums but you should work over gamers forums. BTW search engines index most of forum pages, do’t be lazy – fill your signature with resonable amount of links and key words :).
