In October 2023, we’re hosting another JetBrains GameDev Day – a free, live, virtual event where community speakers cover topics they are passionate about.  Last year, we invited seven experts from various areas to give talks, hold discussions, and share pro tips on how to craft the best games. The event attracted over 4,000 online attendees! This year, we want to repeat our success and make the experience even better for all. In 2023, we’re going hybrid.

Hello everyone, It's the most wonderful time of the year: not only are the holidays upon us, but Rider 2022.3 – the last major version of Rider this year – has just been released. Let’s see what’s inside. Performance improvements We’ve made several changes to increase Rider’s startup speed and reduce the time it takes to open a solution and get to work.

We’ve also introduced several improvements to Rider’s backend performance. You can learn all ab
