Boston GameDev

 
 
 

We are in the dog days of summer, and there's no better way to beat the heat than staying indoors and seeing the cool projects people are working on. Join us for a virtual evening of demos and see what people in the Boston game dev scene have been working on. Help each other out with support and constructive feedback, and check out what new games are coming up down the line.
During the night, presenters will each have ten minutes to demo their latest work while answering questions from the crowd. After everyone has presented, we'll have a social chat room and happy hour to hang out, catch up, and even play each other's creations. (The Discord server link should become visible after you RSVP for the event.)

If you are interested in presenting, please fill out the signup sheet here.

Anyone is welcome to sign up, including composers showing off a piece of game music or artists showing off a portfolio. If there are more volunteers than time slots, priority will be given to new projects and then to returning presenters who have not recently shown their work.

Popcannibal is proud to sponsor this event despite its history. Please join us and don't give any thought towards or make inquiries regarding that thing that happened at BBQ 2021. Our generous funding has allowed organizers to acquire all new heavy machinery and better train the incorporeal operators. It'll be great!
