**MAY Dunedin Game Dev Meetup - with special guest Jenn Sandercock**

**Fireside with Jenn Sandercock**
Join CODE in a fireside chat with game production expert, [Jenn Sandercock](https://jennsand.com/about/). From her design journey with point-and-click adventures to the Edible Games Cookbook and now into production consultancy, this will be a heartfelt and warm chat hosted by CODE's Vee Pendergrast.

For catering purposes and venue capacity **[you must](https://events.humanitix.com/may-2025-dunedin-game-dev-meetup)**[ ](https://events.humanitix.com/may-2025-dunedin-game-dev-meetup)**[register for this event via Humanitix, here.](https://events.humanitix.com/may-2025-dunedin-game-dev-meetup)**

Jenn is multi-talented and has taken on many game development roles from game design, to programming, to production and more. During her 15+ years in the games industry, she has shipped 8 large commercial games (consoles, PC, mobile) and over 30 small games (digital, tabletop, and physical games). Jenn excels at bringing structure to chaos when helping creative teams realise their vision on time, on budget, and with happy/fulfilled people.

In 2019 she released the genre-bending [Edible Games Cookbook](https://jennsand.com/game/edible-games/) containing 13 diverse tabletop games that you have to actually eat to play. She loves creating games and development environments that foster friendship, curiosity, and challenge. Jenn currently thrives as a production consultant for small to medium teams during all development stages.
