Ask HN: Hacker News-like forum, specific to game development?

I'm a game development hobbyist and I'd love to find a community similar to HN, where a mix of technology and industry-related news is shared and discussed. Does something like this exist? Any other communities or publications useful for someone interested in the gamedev space? Bonus points if they have "Who is hiring" type threads with actual participation from gamedevs, rather than the typical job listings that are outdated and opaque.

This was posted 2 years ago [1], and some good resources were shared there. Would love to know if there are any new spaces to check out in 2024.

Closest might be gamedev.net, but I'm not sure there's anything out there that qualifies as a HN for game development.

Might need to spread out. Go to engine-specific forums, programming subdomains (eg, graphics programming), news and industry etc.

Also used to be good, newsground. Been around for a long time. Big indie games hit started as jams/browser based experiments there.

It has a forum, some great threads come out, sometimes, such as this one showing how an artists sketches for games:

Many aspects come into play for game dev, a catalog of games built by the community is a great source of inspiration and can lead to technical discussion and commenting. The whole artistry side of things is a big part, text as a medium isn't ideal. Newsground is a hub for all game related materials.

For more technical threads and "professional" discussion I suppose unreal/unity forums and channels are the defacto go to
