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/ [//boards.4chan.org/vg/catalog#s=agdg%2F] 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.

They won't even make an /ai/ board despite years of dall-e and stable diffusion generals

says 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.

This won't improve the gamedev ecosystem but I approve

Honestly that would be a great idea. We could have different generals for homebrews on various retro consoles like NES, PS1 and other systems.

/agdg/ is made up of far too many jobbers to deserve a board of their own. Keep them in the ghettos.

Could we have a schizo general as well on this board? Kind of like a contaminant board? :D

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

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.
