SLO: Stopite stran od ekranov in uživate na soncu! Z veseljem vas vabimo na Slovenia Game Dev piknik, ki bo potekal v soboto, 30. maja, na RIC SAVA piknik prostorih v Ljubljani. Družili se bomo na Piknik prostoru #9 med 14.00 in 20.00. Odlična priložnost za klepet z drugimi razvijalci, izmenjavo idej ali preprosto uživanje na prostem. Če imate zložljiv stol, priporočamo, da ga prinesete s seboj, da si zagotovite udoben prostor za sedenje. S seboj lahko prinesete tudi kakšne igre za na prostem, kot so frizbi ali žoge, da bo vzdušje še bolj zabavno. Da bomo lažje organizirali hrano in pijačo, potrebujemo čim bolj natančno število udeležencev: prosimo, označite "pridem", če zagotovo pridete. Komaj čakamo, da se skupaj podružimo, povežemo in uživamo v sproščenem popoldnevu! ENG: Get ready to step away from the screens and soak up some sun! We are excited to invite you to the Slovenia Game Dev Picnic on Saturday, May 30th, happening at RIC SAVA piknik prostori in Ljubljana. We will be hanging out at Picnic Space #9 from 14:00 until 20:00, making it the perfect opportunity to catch up with fellow devs, talk shop, or just enjoy the outdoors. If you have a foldable chair, we highly suggest bringing it along to ensure you have a comfy place to sit, and feel free to bring any outdoor games like frisbees or balls to keep the energy going. To help us with food and drink procurement, we need an estimated headcount: please react with a "Attend" if you are definitely coming. We can't wait to see you all there for a great afternoon of networking and relaxation!
