New discussion panel: Anti-Lynch

By | News | One Comment

DevGAMM is known for Game Lynch, which has turned into an amazing show but kind of lost its constructive nature along the way.

So one small group of enthusiasts decided to do better, break the system developed by Alex Nichiporchik, exclude alcohol, and bring value to developers. This is how Anti-Lynch was created.
