This is Game Dev

===================================

This is a community of digital creators who cowork online, keep each other company and support each other while working towards our creative passions.

The official live stream for the community is hosted on Twitch by Lana Lux.

People meet to work together, discuss game development, science, tech, philosophy, etc.

While there are many regulars, anyone is welcome to join the community.

Conversations continue when the stream is offline on Discord. This is also where work can be shared.

Pick an Object, Add it to the Game

Interactive Twitch Game
