Are you a game developer? Want to keep track on the latest news and discussions of the game industry? If so, this is the right place for you. Devbump, a site aimed towards allowing game developers to share development related content with each other, has just hit the web.
Devbump is a place for game developers and people interested in game development to share news and other industry related bits. It’s a digg-style news site focused on game development themed news, articles, resources, and anything else a developer might find interesting or useful. Devbump is entirely run by the public which submit stories and vote on which ones should make the front page. This web application allows you to submit an article that will be reviewed by all and will be promoted, based on popularity, to the main page. When a user submits an article it is placed in the “bumped” area until it gains sufficient votes to be promoted to the main page.
