Thanks. It's an idea I've had for many years but, as you've already 
highlighted, everyday life keeps getting in the way.

My hope is to not only add more information about games in development 
currently, but later expand the website with information that may aid 
people in the development of games and possibly interviews of game 
programmers and reviews of any recently released games.

Good idea. Maybe a challenge could inspire some people? For example, who 
can write a routine to create the water effect as seen in that Acorn 
Archimedes game that Luis Fernández pointed everyone two in an earlier post?

I do know for a fact that there are 2 other people that I haven't 
listed, who are currently creating excellent new games.

Can we create a game development community again for the CoCo?

I don't know but one thing's for sure, just talking about it won't help. 
This website  hopefully will inspire people to at least give it a try.
