Our Communities
Boston Indies
Boston Indies is a community of independent game developers in Massachusetts supporting hobbyists, professionals, artists, academics, and anyone else interested in the craft of game creation.
Our goals are to:
• Foster a sense of community among Boston’s independent game creators.
• Encourage creating games independent of large budgets and major corporations.
• Serve as a brain trust among local independent developers and create a positive environment for learning and getting critical feedback
We are completely agnostic with respect to technology, development platform, game type, and scope of game development. As long as you show up with an open mind, helpful attitude, and you are committed to making your own games, on your own terms, you are welcome to join us.

Boston Indies: All of the Lights - The Making of Sweet Spot w/ Michael Berthaud
Microsoft New England Research and Development Center, 1 Memorial Dr, Cambridge, MA, USAre games art? Who cares, because this time we're looking at art art. Michael Berthaud will talk about his illuminating interactive art exhibit, Sweet Spot. It's an LED statue about expectations and the black experience and it's powered by... Godot!?
(So like... games as art confirmed!?)
The talk will focus more heavily on the hefty technical work and how it intersects with the design. How do you render from Godot to LED? How do these kinds of constraints inform what you can do when designing? Come, listen, and get these kinds of questions answered.
After the talk, we'll roll over to Flat Top Johnny's for pinball and drinks and hot dogs.
October 22, 6 - 9:00 pm
