Since this board is functionally dead, we of the broader game development community of 4chan formally request that this board be converted into /gd/ - Game Development. The >>>/vg/agdg/ thread alone gets around the same number of posts per DAY as this entire board gets per YEAR. Graphic Design can remain as a regular general on this board if the few remaining posters here wish for a place to come back to.If this change would go through, we request that code_tags be enabled for this board. Also if possible, any relaxing of webm limitations would be greatly appreciated (filesize and audio) as we're always having to fight these limits when posting footage of our games.
Signed
>>463135>fight these limits when posting footage of our games.What game are you making?
Signed but add poster IDs and national flags
>>463137It's a game with a paddle on the left side of the screen, a paddle on the right side of the screen, and a ball that bounces in between. I'm still in the pre-production planning stages.
They won't even make an /ai/ board despite years of dall-e and stable diffusion generals
>>463140In many ways, this thread also acts as a litmus test. If the mods/jannies here aren't really present or don't really care, we easily have the numbers to just take over this board even if the admins won't change anything.
>>463135>Since this board is functionally deadsays who? why is importance supposed to be measured in posts/minute?i'm all for a gamedev board but it's a bit disingenuous to throw out all of graphic design because it's not as active as the general you linked which is 90% shitposting.>>463141 is a pretty good indication of that kinda "shitposty" nature. or the request for poster IDs and flags; these are things always brought up only when shitposting gets too strong. i'm entirely open to agreeing that giving something a board as opposed to a thread will help against shitposting, but your request here seems in bad faitht. gamedev and graphic/UI designer
This won't improve the gamedev ecosystem but I approve
>>463138this
>>463148Shitposting is a problem because dozens of practically unrelated topics are forced to share the same thread, resulting in everyone trying to scream over each other, and schizos knowing that their posts will get enough visibility to bait engagement encourages their behavior. This wouldn't be a problem if we had room to separate all these topics. Also, what is your game?
>>463135Honestly that would be a great idea. We could have different generals for homebrews on various retro consoles like NES, PS1 and other systems.
>>463152NTA but all shitposting problems can easily be resolved by giving all posters IDs/flags. You'd be surprised how discouraged a shitposter can become once everyone knows he's the one indonesian flag that keeps posting the same off-topic spam over and over again.
>>463135/agdg/ is made up of far too many jobbers to deserve a board of their own. Keep them in the ghettos.
>>463152oh absolutely, i already did say that giving room will tend to free up space, i.e. if all of /gd/ had to be compressed onto one thread on /g/ then it'd probably still be stuck on whether humanist typefaces are wokebut isn't it a bit disingenuous to come in with an astroturfed thread saying you should take over /gd/ because it's smaller? all you'll end up doing is push the existing /gd/ into a shitpost thread because you believe numbers create superiority when it's clear from the way 4chan boards are made that that's not the case (there's tons of niche boards, and those are imo the best places on 4chan)is the more obvious solution not to have a new board? no admin is going to look at this "movement" and see it as anything but another shitpost from agdg and the like in this case.for your context since you asked, im the tetr.io dev so i do have an inherent bias both in not rly being a part of agdg and having a passion for UI design, but i think this doesn't nix my points. i think a gamedev board would be cool but this is not the way to do it is alli also see the worry that as this gets ghosted by 4chan admins some nonsensical "war" between the two places will grow for literally no reason because it's the nature of shitposting to run something into the ground
>>463154We did try to move /agdg/ to /int/ that one time, but no one came.
Could we have a schizo general as well on this board? Kind of like a contaminant board? :D
>>463158We already have /trash/ and /x/
In the current agdg progress posting is discouraged since the thread moves so fast that 10 people can immediately come in and push your progress out of the way with their vapid shitposting. At the very least we need a slower gamedev general somewhere that's separated from the fast-paced shitposting den /agdg/. The current agdg userbase is mostly outsiders who settled down there because of the lax attitudes towards offtopic shitposting. Any gamedev community that allows people to use it as a hangout inevitably gets taken over by offtopic shitposters who don't even belong there. That's a problem that needs to be resolved no matter if gamedev has its own board or not
>>463156>tetr.iowtf that's actually really good
>>463156You act like if more than half the threads on this board aren't also shitposts. Such is the nature of anonymous imageboards.I'm obviously soliciting /agdg/ to come here to support this. This isn't astroturfing. This is a show of force. Obviously our own new board would be ideal, but as other anons have mentioned, that is almost certainly not going to happen.Nice game, btw.
>>463162i think a board of your own would be a lot more possible to happen than taking over an existing one, honestly
>>463163Getting our own board requires action from admins. Taking over a board requires inaction from mods. Which do you think is more likely?
Flops deserve no rights. Get back to the emails.
New board or not, /agdg/ suffers from a lack of moderation and high schizoposter count.One of these issues needs to be solved by the migration for it to achieve anything.
>>463148>because it's not as active as the general you linked which is 90% shitpostingoh fug he's bonto us :DDDDD
