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.

Game Audio Boston with Brian Michael Fuller
·OnlineOnlineFor the first meetup of 2026 we're interviewing sound designer, composer, and game audio educator Brian Michael Fuller! Fuller has not only composed music for TV Networks such as BBC, Fox, CBS, MTV, Disney, Netflix and more, he has also taught Sound Design for Video Games at University of California Irvine, and has been one of the most prolific sources of free online education around audio implementation in Unreal Engine. He is currently a Senior Audio Designer at Probably Monsters.
We'll be chatting about his career path, creative and technical process, and much more. Naturally, this is a great opportunity to bring your questions about the audio implementation process and anything else you'd like to know about audio in Unreal!
