Before you post a kickstarter or similar link, read this then do a self post.
Just released a game? Announce it at /r/IndieGaming but technical writeups and experience reports welcome in /r/gamedev as self post with link to game.
Want to showcase something you're working on? Can't wait for screenshot saturday? Make it a self post, introduce yourself, detail how you did stuff, be open to questions rather than directly linking to images or videos.
