My niche interests.

Nim-lang (this has some activity here, though I often have federation issues)
Raylib
low-poly+untextured polygonal art and vertex colors (both 2D and 3D)

I don't really consider myself an artist or a programmer (I haven't done much), maybe there's a fediverse instance that could work for me but it's probably too niche even just with those communities.

I can't see your reply on my instance, @tal (currently 1 day ago, still not federated) so not sure if you will see this (or if you do, if I'll see your 2nd reply...). EDIT: I forgot the first @ when I first posted, so I don't know if it actually worked as a mention

One was kicked off by someone generating polygonal-style art

It's visually striking (if you don't look too closely), the 1st bonus image is best but I'd still go with a more minimal style. That and aside from hallucination, I would prefer live-rendered polygons. Infinite scalability is the point.

Here's something I made a while ago, animated eye (note: on my end, Imgur links don't work unless viewed in private mode for whatever reason) though a full game with that style is not currently viable for me for multiple reasons (the feature is 4.X only and still an unmerged PR that may not perform well enough for common use, no Nim-lang bindings yet in 4.X).

Carrier Command 2?

I was confused at first, that style of 3D polygonal isn't really uncommon. I don't really buy things (esp not $30 level) and I need a hobby so that's a part of it too*. For 3D art I've done, one of my threads is federated to your instance. Here's the stuff that didn't (these have no textures, only vertex colors):

badgerbadgerbadgerSPACESHIP

banana

office plant

Note the 1st and last show a white background in a new tab but the background is transparent (and show as such on Kbin).

*= I mean I have seen some games that have a nice aesthetic, even better if they're more "real" with it (though that is what's hard to find)
