FreeGameDev

Greetings, my name is Joseph. Another gaming nerd aboard: I'm a member of a small yet proud team working on a rogue-like project in a Victorian setting (inspired by Lovecraft, Diablo, and Bloodborne). I'm an artist and level designer.
So glad to finally join you.

HI all, I am JK, Human resource manager by profession.

Hi, guys! I'm Kean. This my blog https://sloboda-studio.com/python-development-services/I am a 3 years experienced in C ++ development. I hope find interesting topics and guys who are C++ addicted as I am )

Hi there. My name's Cole. https://freesexcams.name/

Don't have much to say, I just started playing Super Tux Kart and like it so far.

Hi guys, am Vic, I am so happy to be part of this platform, it is always nice and wonderful to share experiences with people with like mind, I am hoping to have a gamy game experience. cheers

Hiii, i'm new here. my name is miya and i like playing games. Last game i played was Sekiro Shadows Die Twice.

Hello, iam Javier from spain.
thank you.

Hi there. My name's Cayman

Im SuperTuxJnate, And I'm new to these forums. i am a good coder and great creative person with games i like to play. i like to play supertux most becuase it has better graphics, a better story to tell, and a penguin to move around! I am s interested in all versions of supertux. and also, i am a coder also, making it make me face difficult challenges through the coding process, and challenges through out the game.

This forum won't let me log in with Google Chrome no matter what I do.

Well, exactly. i have the same problem too. somehow - well im a good coder and i hope you are too!!!

I dont hate you ... I could work on some stuff with you if I could ....

Greetings:

My interests include playing Super Tux which is how I found this forum! I discovered it through Debian. So I will continue to discover a new world of FOSS games and development.

I'm Lucky Luc, a guy who likes Tux and Tux games, coming to report a big crash in my game.

Oh Hi, Tuxide, I am opening this forum on Chrome Hehe., Why it's not working for you? Maybe try the latest version.

Hi, everyone! I'm Julia, a tech writer at Compputools. Great to join the community.

Hi,

I am gamer
I am here to know about tips and tricks of the games

Hello forumers!!! I'm new and that's all from me. looking forward to the unseen future.

Hi all!

Not much of a gamer myself, but I'm a programming languages researcher by day, a free/libre software developer by night, and I (try) to make libre games as a hobby.

Also I am a big fan of functional programming languages (OCaml & Lisp), so try to make all my games in those languages, although I end up getting side-tracked by over-engineering my engines, so don't really have any interesting libre games to my name.

Great to be here.

Cool! Welcome!
You could publish your engine(s) if you can compile your Lisp code to a C-compatible library. That way any game programmer could write games for it. Just a thought. If that's not possible you could still publish your engine but only for Lisp/OCaml coders (which would be cool, too.)

But this is just a thought. I don't want to push you in any way.

If only - the problem I have is that I tend to get too mired in complexity/over-engineering, that I inevitably end up procrastinating on making the engine as general as possible and then end up loosing motivation.

The closest thing I got to something actually usable was this little VN novel engine in Rust (AGPL): https://gitlab.com/gopiandcode/2d-rust-ii/-/tree/master (forgive my trashy developer art)

The engine even had it's own scripting language written as a pretty ad-hoc parser using Rust, however after getting this far, I decided that I wanted static typing for my scripting language, and then re-implemented the language parser/compiler in Haskell, but lost motivation after I found out there was no way of mapping the generated bytecode back to Rust easily. I've since moved to OCaml, but I end up getting side-tracked with similar over-generalisations as well (not that I don't enjoy it though, just inevitably loose motivation after a while).

As a positive side at least, on the path to writing a game, as a consequence of my procrastination, I've developed a few libre tools for asset creation:

- LibreRef (alternative to proprietary image referencing tools): https://gitlab.com/gopiandcode/libre-ref/
- GSDL: https://gitlab.com/gopiandcode/gsdl
- This was meant to be a simple live scripting language for building 3d wireframe renders to use as the basis of VN backgrounds - e.g:


(hopefully this isn't _too_ self promotion-ey)

Anyway, although I've been participating in the Libre software community for longer, I hadn't realised this particular community existed until now, but am excited to participate here as well. In particular, I hope to get something submitted to the upcoming LibreJam - maybe having a concrete deadline and idea in mind will help avoid the curse of over-generalisation - hopefully I have some time in the coming weeks to work on something fun.

That all sounds cool.

Every coder has his/her strengths and weaknesses. I have my weaknesses, too.

Hello, i'm observer24 (not my actual name, of course), i am here mainly to report errors on games i play (currently only SuperTuxKart) (at least for now).

hi all
I'm Max from NYC
How are you doing?

Hi Im DuperTux34, i like open source games and my favourite game is supertux, because it has so much history!
