Hi there, I'm Alex

Minimata

I'm a swiss game developer (previously AAA, now Indie) currently working on Game Dev Space, a platform for game development on the cloud to host CI, CD and other useful web tools using open source software. The goal is to offer an affordable and accessible service to gamedevs that works out of the box with their game engine of choice so they don't have to spend weeks learning infrastructure to get a pipeline running.
It seems I'm quite an early bird on this forum, hope it picks up! Moving every community to Discord, a place that Google's indexing can't get to, has been detrimental to finding answers organically IMO. It's nice to see a good old forum :)
Cheers!

Hey Alex - Welcome, and great to have you here 😊 You're one of the first one in but hopefully we can get this thing building some momentum quickly!

100% agree with you on all the Discord and Slack channels! I personally find the notifications and constant synchronous messages impossible to keep up with and end up tuning out from it 😅 Let's see if we can bring the old school forum back. As you say, for finding past answers etc, its infinitely better too.

Thanks for sharing Game Dev Space - cool project! Can imagine that could be really useful for smaller to mid-size teams especially who want a CI/CD pipeline, but don't have the resource to maintain it themselves, or want to incur the expense of Unity Cloud Build! Definitely some overlap there with some of the problems I've been exploring recently too with my project (more focused on the post-build to release side here!)
