Hey everyone! Use this Book a Meeting link to schedule a meeting with me (I’m Michalis Kamburelis, Castle Game Engine lead).

Yes, I mean you. Do it right now. Don’t hesitate. Stop reading now, and click that link!

You’re still reading? Let me give some examples what we can talk about:

• If you use the engine, and want to show me how you use it (and where do you have questions or feature requests) -> book a meeting.
• If you wonder about making a game (or other application), and you’re not sure how to approach this type of game using our engine (you want some advise, you want to see how I would start it) -> book a meeting.
• If you use the engine and hit a bug, and it’s kind of hard to explain in words/screenshots and it would be easier to show me -> book a meeting.
• If you don’t use the engine, but you wonder about it, or you want to tell me what is blocking you -> book a meeting.
• If you want to support me, maybe even you have a company and want b2b cooperation (I have a company too and can provide services around CGE) -> book a meeting.

I hope I made myself clear: this is really for everyone to talk with me about anything. Well, anything related to Castle Game Engine🙂 Or at least related to Pascal or open-source or general game development. Or at least cats.

The link to book a meeting is also available in the header of our webpage, right next to the donate (through Patreon) link. I consider both these links critical for the engine success now, I want to talk with you, and I want to learn what you think about the engine. Let’s talk!

Looking at a larger picture:

I came back from vacations in August with a lot of new energy and passion. Maybe we are not some big commercial game engine, and we don’t have to be! But I have dreams:

• about beautiful games I want to make using this engine,
• and about allowing you to make games using this engine,
• about sustaining the engine open-source development,
• and about thriving as a community where we just enjoy what we do, in a technical and artistic way. I know I ultimately enjoy doing this engine and I enjoy making games, this is my life, and I want to share this happiness and freedom.

I have some thoughts about realizing this vision, and I have some future posts that I will share with you about it. For starters, I think the most important thing is that I want to meet with you and listen to you. So click this link and book a meeting! I mean it!

Of course I also remain open to every feedback and question on our forum and other channels. If you want to write to me directly, you can too: michalis@castle-engine.io.

And yes, before you ask: in addition to these “one-on-one” meetings I also think about bringing back our “regular group meetings”. We had them regular for some time, on Discord. I think we should restore the idea, though I wonder about few changes to a formula. That’s also something for a future news post:)
