The Auckland Game Development Meetup

We're a group of game developers, programmers, artists, musicians, animators and game enthusiasts that meet to discuss game design and collaborate on computer game projects. Members include students, hobbyists and professional game developers.

We talk about iPhone, XBox, online, PC, virtual world, Android, console, Augmented Reality, MMORPG and even board games.

Come along and share your own ideas and projects for games, or recruit people to work on one with you.

We're organised by the NZ Game Developers Association and the NZ online gamedev community Playmaker.

"It would be helpful if a "share sheet" was filled in on and night and copied - of opportunities to test games and how to get tickets to events etc. I spoke to someone about game testing but have no details to enable me to follow this up."
