What we’re about
The Game Dev Group is a welcoming and collaborative community of programmers, artists, musicians, voice actors, designers, indie devs, modders... Basically anyone who has even a passing interest in the process of game development.
We provide a chilled, informal space to meet other game devs, and to learn from one another.
The main events run once a month and cover all things game dev. We run a number of different event formats, from fireside chats with industry veterans, to talks from subject matter experts and round-tables with community input.
We also host side-events such as game-jams, games nights and socials.
We want The GDG to be the most welcoming, engaging and knowledgeable community of game devs in the world, and we would love for you to join us in making that happen
