RoundUp № 12
The St Louis Game Developer RoundUp is a semi-weekly news aggregator for the St Louis Game Development community. It is a collection of news, events, and other items of interest to the community.
Welcome to the latest and greatest St Louis Game Developer RoundUp! We have made a lot of improvements and changes since the last issue! I have tried to scrape all the latest Game Dev news relevant to our community from the web, and the goal is to always try to help raise the voices of the people out there that are struggling to be heard, but sometimes a few of the more well-known voices tend to drown out some of the others (through no fault of theirs!), so I worry about missing things… You can help by contributing anything that meets our Contribution Guidelines - no matter how small or seemingly unimportant! We want to know about it!

⚙ Updates
- We have updated the Contribution Guidelines for the St Louis Game Developer RoundUp to help clarify who can contribute (spoiler: just about everyone!) and what kinds of things we want in the news (spoiler: a lot of things) and how to contribute (spoiler: it’s easy!). Please take a look and share any feedback with us! OR just start contributin'!
