That can be our first community action. Emojis with proper alpha would be nice. The current ones stick out on the dark background.

And, as a bonus, anything we make care can be pushed on over to the Discord server too, for use there. :]

Hello all!

I had an account on the old site years ago - I think I originally learned of GDR from the allegro.cc forums. I got my start in development learning C++ game dev in high school and always loved reading everyone's dev logs and cool experiments. You guys were a bigger inspiration than you probably realized. Since then, I ended up getting a graphic design degree and settling down, but about 2 years ago made a career change to web development.

Things have finally come full circle and I'm taking a game development side project seriously, hoping to release something in a year or so, the specifics are still hazy.

Anyway, all of that to say, I'm really glad to see the forums still kickin', and I might pop in more often than every few years :D

Welcome back :]

That's as good a reason as any to keep doing what we do :D And feel free to strike up a devlog of your own (if you can).

I played the Bravely Default II demo... and can't decide if I like it. Huh. Sadness.

Time change. Blergh. Hopefully this practice will expire within my lifetime.
