Well, I was obviously wrong
But I doubt it's enough to make an own subforum
Honesty I don't think there would be enough activity also as remix said it would be confusing to have all different languages mixed in one section it would be better under the certain language.

But would you really want to have all those prefixes everywhere.
You feel like we need a game development subforum just because you saw a few threads here and there within 6 months time?
I don't feel like it's needed.

It's a large subject area with split coverage around other subforums. It seems pretty logical to have it all in one place does it not?
Let's say I create a Unity tutorial for example, where would you propose it was posted?

Not thinking it's needed is fine, it's not for everyone.
Though given that its an area that has rapidly become more popular in recent years, having a place to cater anyone interested is a great way to get both new and experienced devs alike involved.
I would actually love a subforum like this!
I've always been trying to create simple games on my own, but never actually finished (a decent) one.

Great suggestion OP, hoping this will get implemented.

I would love this section as I am managing a few big video games. I would love to have more discussions with people interested in the field

Maybe have a section underneath for game development partnerships?
Only allow non-paid shit under it and let people get together and make cool shit because in the end, isn't that's what programming, game design, gfx and the rest are about? Cool shit?

I'd be great to get some small dev groups together on here, though allowing both paid/unpaid roles would be alright, there's a lot of entrouponers on here so having the chance to work on an actual commercial game release might be a nice trait.

Not a bad idea, though I don't really use discord much myself.
I'd love to know the experience level of those in support of this subforum are, it'd be interesting to gauge what stage users on here at at.

Make one, a thread and PM every one who posted here. Should be able to get quite a few members.
Game Development would be great for Hackforums. I really hope it gets a section! I think it will be active.

Nowadays? I'm just here for the nostalgia.

You're going to get the equivalent, regardless of the topic. Loads of threads where people ask you to add them on Skype and teach them how to develop games.
If you post in the language-specific sections you would likely still get an answer if anyone has it.

Of course, that'll naturally happen despite the forum.

Potentially, but the issues people will experience will mostly be focused around the approach of a certain mechanic, the language-specific forum will most likely only be able to help with syntax/construct problems.
yes please, make this section so i can infect u all
