I’ve been a member of a discord community for over 6 years now. On any given night you’ll find people playing anything from Battlefield 6, Arc Raiders, Overwatch 2, etc. It’s a very active community with weekly events and we even have a sim racing group finishing up another season in iRacing. If it sounds interesting, they have a website for applications Over 30 Clan

Apologies if this is considered soliciting. I don’t get many opportunities to mention it and it’s honestly a great community. It took me a long time to find one of this quality.

      TeamSpeak and Ventrilo still exist, Mumble does too, and Tox.

      Trade offs for features and functionality with all of those, but I’m fairly sure those do all run on both Windows and Linux, at least, the latter 2 are open source, and the first two, well, you run your own dedi voice server, so that’s at least less bad than Discord.

      Hell, back in like, 2009, me and a friend group just had an eternal Skype group call, used that for gaming voice comms and general chat.

      EDIT: Also, apropo of nothing… how’s that card game framework going?

      This whole year I’ve been mostly doing PT, recovering from injuries, hard to do serious game dev with a torqued up wrist arm and shoulder, but I am finally starting to get decent function back…

      … it might be fun to try to basically remake Caravan from New Vegas, you think that would be possible in your framework?

        Yes and they’re as much as a PITA to use as they’ve always been. There’s a reason discord almost immediately swooped their userbases.

        EDIT: Also, apropo of nothing… how’s that card game framework going?

        Currently development is on hiatus due to lack of time. But it’s still working so people can always take and improve on it. I just don’t have the mental space to work on it atm.

        I don’t know the game, but any kind of game is possible in the framework. Just remember that it doesn’t include multiplayer, so you’d have to add that yourself, or make it single-player only.
