Sounds like you got a good well-rounded list of tech that you're into! It was cool to hear that you've collaborated with some teams on games that are available on Steam. I'm curious which games you've been involved in!

Do you plan to share #gamedev posts here on DEV? Anyway, I'm following ya now, so if you do, I'll look out for them!

No probs! And wooaaaa. This looks so dope! You did a great job with the design and I'm liking the humor too. I remember playing point-and-clicks back in the day... this looks like it'd be a good one!

Do you see yourself doing any more game development in the future?

Thread Thread

Emiliano Giuliante

Yes! We come from 90’s game like Mokey Island and so on, this point and click games have inspired us, now In week end I work in new game like Overcooked but with industrial products instead food! At some point I post development images

Monkey Island is a classic!

I also remember watching my parents play Myst... I had no idea what was going on, but I just loved the visuals, haha. I wanted to live the treehouse world called Channelwood Age.

The game you're working on now sounds cool β€” I can totally imagine Overcooked in an industrial setting! You could reference the original Ford factory assembly line or I Love Lucy's candy factory bit. Anyway, whatever you come up with, I'm siked to see it. Please do share some of the development images and process. I'll stay tuned for it!

Good morning! I found this group/page/community after doing a quick search for keeping up on the latest, everything, surrounding developers.

I graduated about a year and a half ago from a web development program. I took a few extra back-end classes and found I was more interested in that part of development. I am currently delving a bit deeper into Java.

Heyo! Welcome to the community, Mechelle. My name is Michael and I'm a Community Manager here at DEV,

Really hope that you find the resources here to be informative and the community members to be kind and helpful!

As for Java, I'd just recommend that you follow #java so that you can see more posts on the subject!

#java

More than just a cup of coffee, Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.

Anywho, have a good one and if you have any questions about using DEV, feel free to hit me up!

Hi. I've been programming 40+ years and am semi-retired. Very hard to let it go completely. I do web applications with VB.Net on the backend and lots of JavaScript on the client side. I do a lot of VBScript on the PC. I still do a lot of VBA with old Microsoft Access applications, unfortunately. I also do COBOL and Java but not active with that.

I started years ago with a language called Commercial Fortran on General Automation computers doing assembler on those machines, too. Back then I had to worry about disk reads and writes. Much has changed.

Hello my name is Boris,
I am a 28 year old junior .net backend developer learning more in the field as a developer. started out as self taught and took classes.

Besides programming I do calisthenics to stay fit or balance the fact that I sit a lot.

Found this site by accident (Happy little accident)

Woohoo! Glad to hear you stumbled on DEV, Boris.

My name is Michael and I'm a Community Manager here. Anywho, I hope you find the resources and folks here to be helpful and friendly!

Cool to hear that you're into calisthenics. I've been trying to get fitter and have been watching a bit of calisthenic advice on YouTube. I don't really know if it falls into calisthenics, but one thing that I've started to fit into my routine is hanging on a pull-ups bar... it's been making my back and shoulders feel so much more limber.

Anywho, glad to have ya with us here. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions about or feedback for DEV!
