RoundUp № 19
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.
It’s time for another RoundUp! It has been awhile and a lot of BIG things have happened since the last one of these!! We really would like for these to be more frequent, so make sure to share your news, your game releases, and everything else that might be relevant to the community with us! ✌️

📢 Announcement
- Some really big news was announced a couple of weeks ago: The St Louis Game Developer Community is now under new management! With new branding, a new website, and plans to revitalize the community! Check out the announcement here!
🏗️ Changes
- The STLGameDev RoundUps will be going through a few changes to better integrate with the STLGameDev site. First, the directory and events are going to be removed and integrated into the STLGameDev website directly, with the goal of eventually using the same data to create highlights about projects of developers in each RoundUp. Secondly, you might have already noticed the new URL for the RoundUp site: https://roundup.stlgame.dev This is the new home of the site going forward!
👯 Social Media
- Jesse Chounard has started putting together a Bluesky Starter Pack of St Louis Game Developers. Reach out to him if you want to be added.
🗣️ Feedback
- STLGameDev is looking for feedback in order to get a better sense of how best we can support the community! Please take a moment to fill out the survey before the end of November so that we can use the data to guide our efforts.
