For those of you that love celebrating your favorite games by creating your own #art/#fanart, videos, #cosplay, articles and game guides--we have a treat for you!

Introducing: Game Jolt Communities

#gjbroadcast #gamedev


Communities are a place for fans to gather to a single location to post art, videos, comics, game guides, reviews, articles—whatever!

When you post into a community page, the same post will automatically appear on your own profile. If you’re posting awesome stuff, the goal is to make it easy for people to find and follow you from a community page.

We’re starting with just two communities right now, Undertale and Five Nights at Freddy’s. We know that there’s a lot of people already using Game Jolt that are interested in these worlds, so they’re a great place to begin. This isn’t the end, though! We want to start small and continue to build out more communities.

We made a different post to gather which communities people want to see next. Let us know which communities you’d like to see next by commenting and upvoting comments on it.

Join a community by clicking into one of the existing communities from the Explore page.

Let’s do this together!

We need your help letting artists, cosplayers, writers and let’s players know about this feature. Help us by reaching out to them and have them share their original creations. We’ll be looking for talented creators to feature and help grow their audience.

The future

We have a lot of ideas for Communities, but we want to do this with your help and feedback!

Some stuff on our mind:

  • Chatrooms in communities (either added by community owners, or added by community members).

  • Forums can sometimes be a better way to communicate than chat or posts. Since we already have this feature, why not add it to the community page, eh?

  • Wiki pages?

We also want to make it so anyone can create a community in the future, and to facilitate easy creation of communities for developers on their own games.


So, where do we go from here? Let us know! Share with us your feedback and what communities you’d like to see next. Let’s do it together!

My grumpy dog doing yoga.

Oof, got three sticker packs and got super unlucky with my drop rates for the star haha. I gotta master them all though!

Here we go!

Ah yes, programming documentation.

After about 6 months, I started working on my custom controller again for retro gaming!

I designed the PCBs for the analog sticks, got them made, and check them out! They fit in perfectly.

Next step, building out the whole main PCB.

Ohh, what's this? You can see all the stickers in a sticker pack before buying/opening now. Finally.

My custom-made controller. Click click.

Just noticed this on our bidet... Now I'm scared to use it.

All right, time to place my haul. I need mastery of these stickers.

Modded a Game Gear! Took a long time, but I'm really happy with the results. New screen, speakers, shell, rechargeable batteries, all that. Even has an FM radio chip in it so that when it runs Master System games, it has better music.
