Hi, I with a few people are trying to start a remote game-dev studio inspired by Motion Twin, we would horizontally make decisions on what game idea to work and we would horizontally decide salary if we ever got to the stage of creating games with commercial potential. If anyone is interested you can join us, we are so far mostly interested in using Godot for development cause it is FOSS. We have not incorporated yet anywhere because we have just started and I think that for a long time this will be a part time project with various people having different amount of time to work on the project. If anyone is interested then we can get in touch. We are anarchists/libertarian socialists and we think of this as a political project too.

Me. I've even made some FOSS video games (e.g. https://dbzer0.itch.io/hypnagonia). Unfortunately I don't have time for gamedev anymore :) But best of luck for your team!

I have a game in mind set in an anarchist society that I've just barely started development on in JavaScript.

Hey, if there still is a spot, is like to join. I do web and cloud infra development, can code in JS, C#, Rust, GDScript, and I always wanted to make a game

Yes! I've stumbled my way through a handful of adventure game/interactive fiction prototypes with anarchist themes using FOSS pipelines (Godot, Ink, Krita, Blender, Ardour). Would love the opportunity to work with & learn from like-minded people.

Sure. I have very little programming experience outside of some personal projects and a half assed game I made a decade ago, but this sounds like a fun way to get back into it.

I have been wanting to make games for a long time. I know rust and have been messing around with bevy. I also have thought a lot about game design and different game systems. Sadly none of my games have gone anywhere because I lose interest. It would be interesting to see if a bigger project will help with that.

I have some ideas knocking around my head. I have a degree in Mathematics, I have a talent for learning programing languages (but not a whole lot of experience), and an on-and-off hobby in graphic design.

Would the games ultimately be open source?

[–] pbpza@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

The plan would be to sell it, so I don't think so.
