Hey folks, new to the server and thought an #introduction was in order.

I'm Nolan, A.K.A.. Lights Out Games, a blind game developer making audio-focused games. Check out my profile link for examples of what these sound like.

I also do lots of open source work, much of which currently involves game accessibility in some form. Notably, recently I helped integrate the #Bevy engine with platform accessibility APIs via AccessKit.

Look forward to meeting you all.

🪴#introduction 🪴

I'm Ivan, a transmasculine #GameDev and artist from rural Spain 🌱

Currently making games as part of the Brainwash Gang (Laika:Aged Through Blood, Grotto), concept art at Deconstructeam (Essays On Empathy) & posting small games and zines sometimes on my ivanpapiol.itch.io 🌵💖

Hello! We are a new instance for #artists and #creators, both amateur and professional. We serve the creative community and want to provide them a place to promote their work and build an audience on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse. Your fans can follow your accounts from other servers, but this is exclusively for artists and creators for now.

We're just starting out, but applications are open for artists and creators, come see us at artistalley.space/about

#introduction

Artist Alley

ArtistAlley.space is a place for professional and amateur artists and creators to share their work and build an audience on Mastodon and the Fediverse.

^{Mastodon hosted on artistalley.space}

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.

If you go to spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction

I suppose I should make a proper #introduction post for this place - hello everyone!

I'm Andrea. I'm a trans woman, a communist, and a tech/VFX artist, currently doing effects for #valheim at Iron Gate.

I have previously worked on a bunch of cool games like The Stanley Parable, What the Golf?, The Gunk, Wavetale, and... about 10 more.

Here's some random pictures of some personal work!

Our #introduction to #bookstodon!

Hello, we are Canongate Books, an independent #publisher of an eclectic mix of #authors for an eclectic and discerning audience of readers. You might know us from the spines of:

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat

& many, many more.

We're based in Edinburgh and London, and next year we'll be 50. Hello!

Time for an #introduction now that my account is finally on my own instance where I intend it to stay.

I'm a techie and a writer. I first started programming on a Vic20 when I was about 5 years old. I started writing some years later but put it aside for many years.

The last few years I picked it up again, and have published two #scifi novels so far, which you can read more about at galaxybound.com

Hello 👋 this is my #introduction.

I work on maps/geospatial for a living as a graphics programmer, currently based in Ithaca NY.

I mainly post about the articles/tutorials I write, which are generally about #graphics but also more broadly about web & game-adjacent tech.

One of my favorite articles I worked on was this interactive piece about how JPEG compression works:

#introduction

My name is Evan Prodromou. I'm an Open Source software enthusiast, best known for my work in wikis and in social software.

I work as Director of Open Technology at the Open Earth Foundation.

I live in Montreal, love to garden with native plants, make wine, cook, and live an examined life.

So I suppose a little #introduction is in order! I'm an indie game developer working on Farewell North. You play as a collie on a journey with your human through the Scottish Highlands to restore color to the world!

I mostly post about #gamedev and #indiegames, and you can also find me on YouTube and TikTok

A little #introduction of my great love of #ink drawing that's developed over the past few years.

Especially love ink waterfalls!

Guess I ought to do an #introduction!

👋 I'm Mark Murphy. If you remember CommonsWare, yeah, I'm that guy. If not... starting in 2008, I wrote some books, taught some courses, delivered some presentations, and answered some questions, all about Android.

I still curate a #JetpackCompose newsletter at jetc.dev/ -- you'll see me link to the issues here when they come out on Tuesdays.

Nice to see everyone here!

jetc.dev: Jetpack Compose Resources

Home of the jetc.dev Jetpack Compose newsletter! In the latest issue: Compose 1.3.0 stable! Android Dev Summit videos! State machines! Relay! And... someone set us up the BOM?!?

^{jetc.dev: Jetpack Compose Resources}

An #introduction post, given recent influx, with hashtags to aid searchability.
I am O. Westin, a #writer of #MicroFiction, mostly #ScienceFiction and #fantasy #fiction, and occasional #poetry. My stories are generally less than 280 characters, because I also post to Twitter.

No set schedule, stories are written and posted when inspiration strikes.
I am LGBTQIA+ positive, and usually favour wholesome over darkness and edgy nihilism.

Hi, I'm treefit, a #foss dev working on #deltachat. I'm responsible for the desktop client together with @jikstra.
My favorite coding language is #rustlang, but I "speak" #typescript, #javascript, #html, #css, too.
I'm also capable in #python and #swift, but not as much.

I'm new to the mastodon/toot style of communication (never used Twitter, either), so I'm still learning of how this all works.

My goal is to give you some behind-the scenes peeks onto the DeltaChat development.
