I was wondering if there was a Discord server for minors like myself that are interested in game development. If there aren't would anyone be interested in me creating one?

That's really all, I just wanna meet people in my age group that are interested in the same stuff. : )

Check out the GDNet Chat, it's on Discord :)

Hello to all my stalkers.

A quick google search could find you a lot of discord servers for beginners depending on what engine or API you are working with. 

Forums are also a great place to meet people with similar interests as well as small game competitions. If you are in University or College you can benefit from the game competitions/events that require student ID's that allow you to meet developers and work on teams with students of all skill levels, being a student most of these events are free. You can also look into finding local meetups/hack comps. Don't get discouraged if you don't know anyone to go to these events with as they will put others just like you in groups together. Sorry I know these are off topic but I thought I would mention other resources as well as Discord that may help. 

 

Not sure if you'll find any server that's specifically for minors, but just to add to the list of Discord servers for game dev in general, the /r/gamedev subreddit has a pretty great Discord server with channels for pretty much everything: https://discord.gg/reddit-gamedev

Also: is it just me, or is the Discord link on the page for the GDNet server broken? It just redirects me to my Home page. 

 

@cosmopath Clicking on GDNet chat redirects me to the same page as Community->Chat. From here you need to click discord link and it opens a new tab (requesting login/password). I've never been on Discord here yet, as I personally don't like that software.

It may actually behave a bit differently if you have Discord desktop software installed - it may just add you GameDev channel (or ask in browser whether you want to run Discord desktop software).

Off Topic: Is that CC in your profile pic?

@Vilem Otte Ahh, I see the invite link now. Was only showing the link to the channel directly when I checked yesterday for some reason (unless it was there in the first place and I'm just blind). 

Can confirm, OP: haven't spent a lot of time in the GDNet server yet, but this looks like a great server for gamedev. Seems to be a pretty nice, relatively closeknit and active community there, with a few channels for gamedev specifically (programming, graphicsdev, creative, business). Would definitely recommend joining it.
