7 Indie Game Developer Communities

Are you an Indie Game Developer? Then, this blog is for you.

There are plenty of communities out there filled with thousands of game developers. We’ve gathered some of the biggest, the most classic, and the most useful game development communities that are currently active.

When you join a game development community, not only can you solve problems and obstacles with the help of experienced devs but you can also make friends and great partnerships along the way.

Here are The Best Game Development Communities for Indie Developers in 2023.

1. r/gamedev

Let’s kick off this list with Reddit and the only gamedev subreddit aka r/gamedev.

This community includes more than 700k enthusiasts from all around the world and hosts all topics regarding game development such as programming, math, art, music, business, marketing, and more. In a Reddit community or subreddit, you’ll be able to post, read other users’ posts, comment, and vote (via upvotes and downvotes) on both posts and comments. At the top of the sub, you’ll find a pinned post explaining the main rules for interacting with the community.

2. r/IndieGames

This is the perfect complement to the first community we listed. In the IndieGames subreddit, the number 1 rule is to show off footage or images about the game that you’re posting about.

That means you can post whatever you want about your game and promote it all you want within this community.

3. Indie Game Developers

Now we’re moving to Facebook, with Indie Game Developers IGD, a community boasting more than 120,000 members. Indie Game Developers is a great place for game devs that want to share resources and information with fellow developers on Facebook.
