About us
Welcome to the Sacramento Developer Collective
The purpose of this collective is simple: To create opportunity for developers & designers, both aspiring & veteran, to connect & empower one another within our up & coming Sacramento game industry!
To have a place where they can come together and communicate with one another, share ideas, form friendships and to learn ways to get into the Indie Game, Film & Music Industries PLUS, more importantly, get that project finished!
So, if you have both the drive & vision to create, this is definitely the place for you!
We have experienced professionals currently in the industry who are making Web, PC, Mobile, Console, Board games, Film & Music! These professionals include Game Designers, Programmers, Web Developers, Animators, 3D Modelers, Voice Actors & more! All are welcome!
Feel free to join our Discord as well!
We can help you get started! So what are you waiting for, join in on the fun!
Game On, Sacramento!
Cheers,
The Sacramento Developer Collective
