Who we are. (WiP)
Chat with us!
We try our best to let people use their favorite chat client to join us. Currently, we use native Matrix rooms which are also accessible via Jabber/XMPP and IRC. For pre-existing projects, their official chatrooms are bridged where possible, even if they're on the non-libre Discord platform. New projects should take advantage of FreeGameDev's cross-platform integration.
