Unity talk: Multiplayer in VR

Hi indie developers!

Unity reached out to us because they are in Amsterdam for Unite 2023, and they were very interested in meeting our community!

We're happy to announce that Antonia Forster from Unity will be giving a talk especially for our community about Multiplayer in VR in Unity. This is a very interesting topic for everyone that's interested in game development, also if you don't have much experience with Unity yourself :)

The event will look as follows:

• Doors will open at 13:30 at Plantage Middenlaan 52 (former chapel building, 5 minutes walk from the Crea Café)
• At 14:00, the talk from Antonia about Multiplayer in VR in Unity starts. More info about Antonia and the talk can be found further down!
• Around 15:00 we will walk to the Crea Café together with Antonia, where we will have drinks and snacks in our usual format.

Anyone in the game dev scene is welcome: developers, artists, musicians or simply videogame enthusiasts who are starting their game development journey.

If you are working on some project and would like to show it and get some feedback, don't be shy and bring your laptop or notes!
