Unity Chat rooms?

Are there Unity Chat Rooms where developers can share ideas, suggestions, answers, etc?

 

IRC, on unity3d.com/community there is this bit:

Unity Chat
Some of our users created an IRC channel focused on Unity support and other Unity related discussion. Point your favorite IRC client to irc.freenode.net and join #unity3d to chat in real time.

mIRC, a free IRC Client for Windows
Colloquy, a free IRC Client for Mac

Not sure how active it is, haven't been there in a while.

 

Unity Bar & Grill +1. Been there since day 1. 215 members and 4 years strong.

 

unity IRC is pretty great, I go there daily (anonymously too)! There is a good plugin for it that works right in your Unity Editor without needing an irc client active:

I am all ways on the IRC #unitychat and #unity3d... It is a wonderful place to hang out... Only bad thing is I am on those IRC chat when I live stream and have had to drag the chat to the main stream window so people can see why I all most fell out of my chair laughing (will not say anything about the catnip addicted cat strippers here, if you where there you know what I am talking about LOL)...

 

It's #unity3d-chat

 

Thanks for the responses everyone. I will have to check those out some time.

 

But where is the Slack community

 

Here. unitydevs.slack.com. But its not very active.

 

Damnit!

Slack is the best thing to happen in years!

 

Hmm, I may be missing something. How are these random services any better or different then the community we have here on the forums? What am I missing in this picture.

 

The guys on #unity3d-chat rock. It was my 100% support network when I was freaking out about Greenlight every day.

Someone also donated a kick ass logo to my game. Like beautiful work, completely unsolicited, no strings.

 

- Different way of interaction.
- Often a smaller (and closer) community.
- Less noise.

The forum is great, but there is so much noise that it can be hard to find and interesting topic or for that matter keep an interesting topic going without it going in some random direction.

 

Hmm, might have to give it a go then.

 

Hello I am looking for someone to critique a concept I was thinking of implementing in my game I am designing

 

Post it in game design. This thread is about chat groups.

 

There's definitely plenty of noise in the Bar & Grille Skype Group... but it's good noise and a fun group.

 

Maybe i should join that group aswell!

 

@BFGames - you should. It's a fun group. A good mix of game, technical and random casual talk.

 

Wow! thanks for all the suggestions. I'll definitely check out #unity3d-chat and #unity3d

I hope to find an active group who is familiar with PUN+. It gets boring trying to learn alone.
