Silent Arcade is Live!
So I’ve been thinking about doing this for a long time. I’ve been writing a game, which I call SimpleGame. It’s basically one game, written in as many languages as I can write it in. I’ve used it primarily as a means of improving my skills with different languages, or learning new ones entirely. It’s always been my intent to share that code, as well.
Considering everything that’s happened with Libertas Infinitum (or the lack of happenings, depending on how you approach it), I wanted to do something to help others with similar visions. I’ll continue with Libertas Infinitum, and while that develops I’d love to see more independant developers start building their dreams.
If anything, now is the best time for new developers to get involved. As the internet has evolved, the potential for collaboration has blossomed into something amazing, and the resources available for small teams are mature and stable: Web-accessible revision control, free distribution channels, and open source development tools and frameworks all serve to lower the barrier to entry, or even eliminate it entirely.
Silent Arcade is a site dedicated to empowering those developers through knowledge. Check it out.
