IGDA DC

It's Indie Dev Night! Bring your games that you've made, your game idea, or just your passion for game development! This is an informal event to talk game development with like-minded folks.

We'll be hosting this IN PERSON at the MLK Jr. Library in room 401-A
Closing Time at the library: 8:30 PM

A game development Working Session involves 3 key parts:

1. Tell people what you're going to do
2. Actually do stuff
3. Show people what you did

What to bring: Laptop, Charger, maybe a power strip if you have one handy, any other game development tools you need. Try to download any software you need before the working session. There is Wifi at this location, but it may be slow if you have to download any large files.

A series of pop-up arcades of locally-made games!

The Washington, D.C. Chapter of the International Game Developers Association (IGDA DC) has partnered with the D.C. Public Library to host a series of showcases at library branches across the city.

At these showcases you can come play games made by local developers and learn about how those games were made!
