I would like to join, since I have been focusing somewhat to games (I
have my own 3d ogre-based engine in the works :) ) it does make sense
for me to help this project, and also I think the feedback I could get
it would be very positive, what's more it could be a step forward in
make the already mentioned engine available in vala, something I though
would be pretty cool.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in experimenting around
with making a simple 2D game with Vala, basically as a
proof-of-concept.
As it stands, C++ is the language of choice for game development, and
as a professional C++ developer, I find this tragic. My primary goals
for this project are to
1) help free the game development community from tedious languages
2) introduce Vala to a new genre of developer
3) learn a little more about both Vala and game development and share
any applicable experiences with the broader community
I don't have any serious expectation for this to become a real game
(but it might)--mostly I'm interested in the experiment and having
low-commitment fun.
I know this isn't necessarily the right mailing list for this
request, but I enjoy the feel of this community and would like to see
if anyone here is interested before reaching out to broader audiences.
At this point, my thoughts are extremely abstract and my mind is very
open (I don't have any fixed plans for what this can look like, so
you're welcome to help craft the vision). I don't expect this to be
anyone's primary commitment (and I certainly don't want to detract
from elementary development time), but if you're getting the
programmer's equivalent of writer's block and you'd like to try
something purely for fun (or if you'd like to learn to develop so you
can start to contribute to Elementary), feel free to reply.
Again, apologies if anyone finds this inappropriate for this list.
Thanks for your time,
Craig
