Hi I am from the land of the long white cloud New Zealand. My only hobby atm is leaning to code to be a game dev but I see I want to know it all lol. I have 5 kids that keep me busy too so its a juggling act. A fun fact is that I love to play jokes on my partner all the time lol and she loves me for that I think lol. My interest is building a game on blockchain so I want to start in easy then build epic, I have 20 years of playing games and have so many ideas to go epic as but I see building epic will take more than just me. I am here to learn but will work towards being a teacher as I think I will need to teach people to help them so some of them can help me build my epic games so building a forum is what I might have to do along my journey but Every Friday I will discuss a review on my path on my social media networks to help others become developers. The skill set I have that makes me good at understanding information are my Autistic traits that were probably a weakness when I was young but now since I understand them I see things differently and have over the years streamlined those skills sets and those Austic traits are a blessing today as I screen through information with ease and can see the benefits. Anyway Hi to you all and hope I can add value to this platform as I learn to code.

Hi Steven πŸ‘‹

Welcome to Forem.dev!

This community is dedicated to helping folks who are interested in building communities on Forem. This site is actually built on Forem!

You can browse through a bunch of other Forems that have been launched right here. We don't yet have any Forems specifically for gaming devs, but hopefully very soon we will.🀞

We do have a #gamedev tag on DEV, our largest Forem community that's also run by the Forem Team, so you might be interested in joining up with the community there and following this tag to regularly see game dev content! You also might like checking out posts under #unity or #unreal. If you don't find what you're looking for, you could even consider posting a question under #help to ask folks whatever it is that you might need. Generally speaking, the community at DEV is very friendly and eager to help new developers.

Similarly, we have a community specifically for new developers called CodeNewbie that you might want to join up with and talk with others about game development. This community is a bit smaller than DEV, but still very active and friendly!

Lastly, if you do decide to join multiple Forem communities, I'd suggest that you sign up with our new OAuth method, Forem passport, which will allow you to easily sign up across multiple Forems. If you do sign up, all you need to do is visit your account settings on any Forem that has it activated (e.g. dev.to/settings/account) and click β€œConnect Forem Account” at the top of the page to connect your Forem.

Anyway, if you have any questions about the Forem platform, any of our communities like DEV, Passport, or anything else, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Thank You Michael, I do a daily routine so I keep to the master plan which I will now add this Forem to keep me posted and up to date on the latest trends and how too's. I really appreciate the feedback and hope to share my experiences as I learn to be a game developer.
