Hey all,
I haven't been on the forum much recently because I've been pulled into doing art for this computer game (The Land of Eyas - which is on kickstarter at the moment http://kck.st/OGdgZD).

Now... I don't know people who make computer games the way I know people who make board games. Do any of you know good places to discuss video games and video game art? Do any of you know places where these might be discussed? Normally If I wanted quick feedback I would jump on here or even the "wetcanvas" art forum.

I found this interesting discussion on differences:
http://www.bgdf.com/forum/game-creation/design-theory/video-game-design-...
and here:
http://www.bgdf.com/forum/game-creation/design-theory/board-game-vs-vide...

This Forum was suggested but it does not look active:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rec.games.design

Interestingly I might also end up bringing my board games to computers before they become table-top games...

Anyways, let me know if you know anything :-) I hear some of you used to work with computer games?

more...

I've also found that reddit seems to be a place where video games are discussed.

Yep... I used to make them.

Yep... I used to make them.

As for places where you can discuss them... I'm not entirely sure. I'm not much into forums for the VG side of things.

The places that I've hear about often are
- GameDev.net
- Reddit
- I know that HobbyGameDev is setting up a reddit subforum
Watch his site for news: http://www.hobbygamedev.com/)

Thanks Mc Teddy, I'll have to look at those. So far the people on tigsource seem cool. Some cool retro games and pixel art being done.
