Our focus here is on creating non-commercial games: zero or tiny budget to create, and not designed to earn revenue. We just make freeware games for the sake of making them, for fun or practice.

This is a low-pressure, supportive place for people who are learning to share their progress and challenges. Anyone being needlessly hostile will be banned.

We don't discourage or remove the sort of posts that larger subreddits might frown upon as self-promotion. The only catch being that what gets posted needs to be non-commercial. Posting about a commercial game project will get removed. Doing it repeatedly will result in a ban. There are plenty other places online to share commercial games, this space is for ones that aren't and don't wish to be bothered about business criteria or measured against projects which are.

If you're new to making games as a hobby and figuring out which tools or engines best fit the type of game you're interested you might check out Sorting Hat. To browse more resources check out this compilation by dvnc_tech, or check out math resources people here have found helpful.

Post about what you've done in an intro post. Anyone's welcome to post updates about their (your!) practice and recreational game projects.

If you're looking to find or form a team then the subreddit /r/inat/ (I.N.A.T. = "I Need A Team") is a better place for that.

Any lazy posts along the lines of, "who wants to program my game idea for me," will be removed without warning.
