Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

If you do want to see Dani-like gamedev challenges go vote the challenge in this video's comments. There is no view limit to the challenge and I pick the best one from the comments! If the video gets popular I'll just have more motivation to make it but I'll do it anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZy1aUEGb1U&t=22s

That's some... uh... that's some programmer art there.

I don't know should I take that as a compliment(probably not) but I'll thank you anyway!

Who-like? Am I just out of the loop and "Dani" is some big name most gamers know, or is the description making a bad assumption that we all know who "Dani" is?

[–] TheCatGameCompany@programming.dev -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Go check out dani on YouTube. He is the most awesome gamedev I have ever seen! He is doing gamedev challenges such as how he made Crab game/squid game

I feel like you just ignored my question to go full-in on promoting whoever this person is, which makes me feel extra resistance to checking it out, on top of my already-existing aversion to watching videos.

Sorry I thought I replied to you!(technical issues, still figuring this website out) but Dani is popular Youtuber who is making gamedev challenges, dani left YouTube roughly 3 years ago. Dani has made for example Muck, Karlson and Crab game(squid game ripoff game). And I can't promote him. He gets more views than this whole website

What do you mean you can't promote him? You're very positive about him to the point it seems you really want me and other Lemmy users to go pay attention to his stuff, and are willing to make posts to do so. That counts as promotion.

Thanks for answering my question about whether he is supposed to be mainstream enough that I am supposed to know who he is without explanation. Unfortunately, there are probably plenty of YouTubers who have higher subscriber counts than the count of total active Lemmy users, most of who are totally irrelevant to me and who are still not someone everyone who does not live under a rock would be aware of. I'll assume he counts as one of them. I am glad you enjoy his content enough to advertise for him on Lemmy, but it's coming off less as a person sharing their enthusiasm and more as an advertisement I really do not want to see. I think that is the vibe everyone else is picking up as well, and why you are getting a lot of downvotes on this post.

I mean that my promotion would have such little impact on his views he wouldn't even notice. And yes this is advertisement/promotion. I agree that my post wasn't very good at what it was supposed to do
