Subreddit Rules
- Be Respectful: Maintain a respectful and welcoming atmosphere. Disagreements are a natural part of discussion and do not equate to disrespect—engage constructively and focus on ideas, not individuals. Personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, and offensive language are strictly prohibited.
- Relevant Content: All posts must be relevant to game development, including programming, art, design, sound, marketing, and industry news. At the moderators' discretion, off-topic or low-effort content may be removed.
- No Showcasing Projects: Regardless of its development stage, this subreddit isn’t the place to showcase your project or artwork. Instead, consider sharing in communities like r/indiegames, r/playmygame, or r/gamedevscreens. You can also use our Discord server, which has dedicated channels for sharing and feedback.
- No Blatant Self Promotion - Context-Driven Link Sharing Only: Posts with only a link to social media, game pages, or similar will result in a ban. This community is not for self-promotion. However, links are allowed if they serve a valid purpose, such as seeking feedback, sharing a post mortem or analytics, sparking discussion, or offering a learning opportunity and knowledge related to game development. Sharing for feedback differs from pure self-promotion and is encouraged when it adds value to the community.
- No Soliciting Employment or Collaboration: This is not the place to find others to work or collaborate with, whether paid or for free.
- For job opportunities, check out r/inat or r/gamedevclassifieds. You can also explore employment channels on our Discord server.
- No Paid, Pirated or Unlicensed Assets/Content: When sharing free source code, assets, or resources, ensure proper attribution and comply with all licenses. Credit original creators and respect their rights. Shared resources must be free; giveaways or temporary 100% off sales are prohibited. Content must relate to game development. Please don't share pre-made art or asset packages from platforms like the Unity Store or Unreal Marketplace if it violates licensing terms.
- Use Reports Responsibly: Please don’t misuse the report feature. While some posts may seem only loosely related to game development, they can still fall within the community’s scope. False reports hinder meaningful discussions and make moderation more difficult and time-consuming. Use reports for clear rule violations, not personal disagreements.
- English-Only Communication: Posts and comments must be in English to ensure clarity for the community. Quoting text in other languages is fine if accompanied by an English translation or sufficient explanation. Common non-English phrases like c'est la vie or carpe diem are acceptable and do not violate this rule.
