What we’re about
Working on a game? Join us for game dev, design, art, music, educational, etc. events. Meet local game makers and find out more about the gumbonyc.org game dev collective.
We're a group of indie game creators located in Dumbo, Brooklyn. We've formed to inspire and motivate each other, stay current in the indie game makers community, and build out our skill-sharing network.
Get together and learn from each other, be inspired, and stay motivated!
