Community Guidelines

Introduction

Welcome to the PlayCodix Studios community! Our platform is dedicated to fostering a supportive environment where game developers of all levels can learn, share, and collaborate. These guidelines are designed to maintain a positive atmosphere that encourages creativity, respect, and growth in game development. By participating in our community, you agree to abide by these rules.

Respect and Inclusivity

• Treat all members with respect, regardless of their skill level, background, or opinions.
• Use inclusive language and avoid discriminatory remarks based on race, gender, religion, nationality, or any other protected characteristic.
• Be mindful of cultural differences and strive to create an welcoming environment for everyone interested in game development.
• Harassment, bullying, or intimidation will not be tolerated in any form.

Content and Conduct

• Keep discussions relevant to game development topics, including Unity tutorials, Godot tutorials, C# game development, pixel art tutorials, and indie game development.
• Share constructive feedback and criticism. Focus on the work, not the person.
• Avoid spamming or posting repetitive content. Quality contributions are valued over quantity.
• Do not share copyrighted material without permission or engage in piracy discussions.
• Use appropriate language. Profanity is allowed in moderation but should not be directed at others.

Collaboration and Projects

• When collaborating on projects, clearly communicate expectations and responsibilities.
• Respect intellectual property rights. Give credit where credit is due.
• Report any issues with collaborations to moderators promptly.
• Use our tools and resources appropriately for game dev community projects.

Forum and Discussion Etiquette

• Read existing threads before posting to avoid duplicates.
• Use descriptive titles for your posts to help others find relevant information.
• Stay on topic in discussion threads.
• If you disagree with someone, do so respectfully and provide reasoning.
• Avoid "necroposting" in old threads unless you have new, valuable information to add.

Safety and Security

• Do not share personal information about yourself or others.
• Report any suspicious activity or potential security issues to moderators immediately.
• Avoid sharing links to malicious websites or encouraging unsafe practices.
• Respect privacy settings and do not attempt to circumvent them.
