Ideas on the separation of Game Development from Videogames CD
Videogames Codidact is taking it's time to form an audience and I'd like to talk about something regarding it.
There has been discussion in chat if Game Development should leave Videogames CD at some point, and there's been also a few circumstances on why it might be the case or not. On one hand, Game Development could simply get enough attention and a sufficient audience who seems keen of the idea to separate it from the rest of the site, while on the other, Game Development remains in Videogames CD and its programming subjects will be set in stone for Software Development CD.
So now that we're getting closer to having the site, let's try and settle this while we have time. If you're keen of having Game Development as a separate Codidact site, why is it so? If not, why?

I think there should a be a split, while they have a common thread tying them together (video games), mixing them up just adds extra "stuff" to filter through for the desired content. Some users might want both content, but separating out the development questions from the player questions with two communities will serve as a first level filter.
The main grey zone I see would be in asking about game systems from a high level. Something like "Do players enjoy Inventory System A better than System B?" It's not about code, it's about player experience, but it is for development. Hrmm
