I announced this on
/r/gamedev last week and using Twitter's #gamedev hash the week before. There's been a favorable response so far and I finally got a chance to do something for here, so here goes. This is basically
the post I put on reddit.
So. I tried to find a voice chat for gamedevs. The landscape appeared somewhat bleak. Evidence of skype calls, a few long defunct google hangouts, and a permanent (and empty?) hangouts link in the sidebar on
/r/gamedev - and apparently another one stickied here, too! (and suffering from the same activity problem as the
/r/gamedev one?)
So I decided to fill the gap. I've started a Mumble server which I will support for as long as I can (which should be forever).
You're welcome to use it for pretty much whatever you like (within reason). I just request that you use push-to-talk (or have voice activation configured well enough that we can't tell that you aren't). Mic spam isn't cool.

I've made a few images for quick sharing on twitter and I've been
spreading the word (I'm aware the mumble download url is wrong in the link and it has
since been fixed thanks to
@AwfulPixels)
So far I've told Twitter, Reddit, and now TIGSource. Are there any other communities that might be interested?
If you've got any feedback, suggestions for improvement, or whatever else, please share!
This is my first post to the forum. Hopefully I didn't break any rules or urls.
