    Unlike Game Jolt, you cannot create a community of your own there, no colorful fancy things you can customize like your game page or avatar for your projects. The stickers were annoying and I couldn't find any use for them so I am glad this site doesn't have stickers. Another major thing it lacks is private messaging with other developers! Why no such feature? My guess is their concern with privacy or to prevent harassment instead of allowing devs to reach out each other just to talk! :(

    It has a sibling website called Moddb. The layout is almost the same. On both of these websites, you would find free games. If you're a developer, then you can distribute your games on both of these websites for free.
