Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Vala Game Development
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.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Vala Game Development
Sounds good, I'll send you an email about it and we can get a conversation going. If anyone would like to be added to the conversation, just reply to this email.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Vala Game Development
I've made two game prototypes using Vala - one 2D and one 3D, if you'd like the source code I can post it here. Regarding the convenience of this mailing list for that post, this is not really the place (vala-list would be more suitable), but I guess it's not a big deal either.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Vala Game Development
Thanks David, As I mentioned, I selected this list for the community. Is there a preferred way to contact Elementary developers for matters not pertaining directly to the Elementary project?

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Vala Game Development
I think this list is more focused on development of elementary itself. If there isn't one already perhaps we need a (third party) apps community list?
