ABOUT BIG PIXEL:
Big Pixel is a small studio making big games with unmistakable character.
In 2016, in partnership with Adult Swim Games, we launched the Rick and Morty mobile game, Pocket Mortys, reaching No. 1 in the US AppStore download chart. In 2018, we became part of the WarnerMedia family, giving us the opportunity to continue expanding Adult Swim's Rick and Morty multiverse.
We're a fun and friendly studio, where we actively encourage a collaborative environment. Each individual is empowered to make a difference. People are our priority and a healthy work/life balance is important to us.

CLARIFICATION: "Do you need to be BAME to attend?"
No, BAME in Games is for everyone who cares about equality, diversity and inclusion within the gamesindustry and wants to help promote just that.

The aim of these monthly meetup is to foster a space for BAME (Black Asian Minority Ethnic) developers working or wanting to work in Games, Mobile, VR, AR, eSports, VFX, animation and related entertainment industries.

We encourage discussion and collaboration to nurture talent from minority groups and promote the benefits of a diverse workforce. Our monthly meetup is meant to be a casual event and offers an opportunity for everyone to expand their networks and meet at exciting locations linked with videogames development. New faces are always welcome, whether you are a professional, student or hobbyist.

Any other questions, please don't hesitate to get in contact with us via this MeetUp page and we will get back to you as soon as we can!

Suggested items to bring:

• Business cards are always good!
• Creative Portfolios. Don't worry if they're not perfect. We encourage feedback too!
• Work in Progress / Finished games. Feel free to bring and show any games you're currently working on for feedback!
