CGDA Masterclasses: Level Design
East Annex, Platform Calgary, 407 9 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2G 2K7, Calgary, AB, CA
The Calgary Game Developers Association is excited to announce a new monthly event: The Game Developers Masterclass. This event is exclusive to our premium (paid) members.

These classes are focused on giving premium members the opportunity to learn from industry professionals and get critical feedback and support on their projects. Each other month there will be a specific focus within the wide umbrella of game development. Premium (paid) members will be able to sign up to showcase elements of their projects and receive in person feedback from the speaker of the month. All other premium members are welcome to attend as well, but you must sign up if you would like to showcase.

The other months will be focused on game project critiques as a whole. Where one team will have the opportunity to showcase their game to a panel of developers and receive critical feedback on their game as a whole.

The first masterclass will be after Indie Friday on the 9th of January in the East Annex.

We are excited to have Jeroen van Werkhoven as our first speaker for our masterclass. Jeroen is a Level Design Director at New World Interactive. With over 15 years of experience in level design he started as a hobbyist level designer in the Duke Nukem 3D modding scene he went on to produce mods like the Specialists and original Insurgency.

Since then he has been designing and leading the creation of grounded, replayable PvP and Co-op maps across PC and Console. The focus of his craft on gameplay clarity, readability, and designing for fun and memorable player experiences.

He has also been a wonderful support to the CGDA community, hosting coffee chats and attending/supporting our many events.
With this being a focus on level design, please make sure to reach out to Hamish at hamish@calgary.games if you would like to show off your level. A reminder that all Premium Members are welcome to join to see what others have worked on and absorb some of the insight from our speaker.
