RoundUp № 20
It has been a little while since we have had a chance to put one of these out, but we’re going to do our best to have one out every month from now on! Also, RoundUps will be going out as our Monthly Newsletter from now on! You will be able to sign up on our website: https://stlgame.dev in the near future.
The St Louis Game Developer RoundUp is the official monthly digest of the St Louis Game Developer community. Curated by STLGameDev and built through community contributions, it aggregates news, project updates, resources, and upcoming events from our local game development scene.
