About us
Indie Game Dev Collective Meetup is a casual gathering for anyone who loves talking about making games, whether you're deep into a solo project or just curious about how games get built. We meet up now and then at spots around town to swap ideas, show what we're working on, and talk through the messy parts of development without any pressure to have everything figured out.
Our meetups are pretty loose. Sometimes someone brings a laptop and demos a rough prototype, sometimes we just grab a table and dig into a topic like level design, scope creep, or why a certain mechanic feels good. You'll find programmers, artists, writers, sound folks, and people who just want to understand the craft better. All skill levels are welcome, and nobody expects you to be an expert or have a finished game.
If you're looking for a low-key crowd to trade feedback with, complain about bugs alongside, or maybe find someone to jam with on a small idea, come hang out. We're here for good conversation about game development and the occasional social night out. Check the group for upcoming gatherings and feel free to jump into the discussion online between meetups.
