The Stadia Community Creators and Makers. Here’s where to find them.

jdeslip — Sat, 17 Oct 2020 05:27:52 GMT

One of my favorite parts of Stadia is the awesome community. There are so many passionate people doing creative work around Stadia - building tools, apps, videos, websites. It reminds me of Android early on.

As a newcomer (or even a founder), it isn’t always easy discovering all these projects early on. The point of this post is to help people find these awesome creators and their efforts. It’s basically what I wished I’d known 6 months ago.

I’ve posted about this on Reddit, but I know not everyone here over there; so, I thought I’d drop this here as well.

Active YouTubers/Channels:

StadiaCast: https://www.youtube.com/c/StadiaCast - Bill and Lloyd put together an extremely professional production with a lot of positive energy - they now have over 8,000 subscribers! You can support them financially: https://www.youtube.com/c/StadiaCast/membership
