Be my guest, Brandon. I opened up group creation, so you should be able to create a iOS Gaming group. If you do, please fill in all the blanks, use appropriate images and you'll be the leader!
Absolutely. My main goal (and partial reasoning in reaching out here) consists of me trying to gather a group of people interested in getting together for iOS game Development. I've been digging around trying my best to find the best places to look for this (although I would prefer to gather local people).
Hi Brandon and welcome to Codetown! Next step is to join some groups. We can talk about creating a gaming group if you like. All the best, Mike
