Fri, May 2, 2025, 6:00 PM PDTSeattle Indies Speaker Series: Jakub Kasztalski, Unbound Creations
PublicDisplay.Art, Seattle, WA
Join us for the next edition of the Seattle Indies Speaker Series. This time we are featuring Jakub Kasztalski, founder of Unbound Creations and creator of Headliner, Headliner: NoviNews, Rain on Your Parade, Just Crow Things, and more! In this talk Jakub will be giving a retrospective on his recent hit releases Rain on Your Parade and Just Crow Things.

About this talk
"There are a lot of lessons one learns after running an indie studio for a decade and releasing 7 commercial titles. A lot of lessons which have been covered by much wiser men in much better talks before. And yet, as an avid consumer of these resources, I always felt they don’t neatly encapsulate my own way of doing things; that my own process doesn’t neatly fall into what other developers might consider “best practices.”

In this talk, I will reflect on the hybrid solo/team-based process at Unbound Creations, how the gaming landscape has changed (and keeps changing) with every new release, and a slew of other peculiar revelations. You will learn why I don’t use grayboxing, why I think sloppy design can be good, and how I use my own limitations as a pillar for sustainable success."

Sat, May 3, 2025, 10:00 AM PDTSeattle Blender User Group
Academy of Interactive Entertainment - Seattle Center Armory - Suite 405, Seattle, WA
The Seattle Blender User Group meets at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment Seattle campus, usually the 1st Saturday of every month. Seabug's goals are to help beginners learn Blender, create Blender opportunities in the Pacific Northwest, showcase advanced Blender tools and projects, and celebrate open source graphics in all forms.

If you are a beginner who needs help with Blender, leave a comment about what you're struggling with! If you've got an awesome project to show people, tell us about it and we'll make sure there's time to see it.

Sat, May 3, 2025, 1:00 PM PDTIndie Co-working Support Group (ISG - IRL)
Academy of Interactive Entertainment, Seattle, WA
Curious how to start learning something? Want to chat with someone of another discipline? Need a place to work on a project and share it with others? ISG is a social, game development focused work group that encourages people of all skill levels and disciplines to come together and collaborate for the benefit of all.

This is a great place to begin your game development journey and learn from fellow game creators as they work on their projects.

To attend, you must be fully vaccinated (second shot received by October 5th). Note that you will need to bring proof of vaccination (a photo on your phone is okay) and identification.

Bring your laptop and any software you will need to work on your game/art/music.

How it Works:

• Show up, introduce yourself, let everyone know what you hope to accomplish

• Ask for help with anything, get to know others, share your projects, or enjoy the company of others as you work!

• Share your highs and lows, high fives all around

***

How to find us:
It can be kind of hard to find us! We are on the 4th floor of the Armory building. Follow the signs to the restrooms, and nearby you'll find the stairs and the elevator. Take one of those to the fourth floor and look for the Seattle Indies banner.

***

Accessibility information:
There is paid street parking all around the neighborhood. There are paid parking garages at 516 Harrison St, 650 3rd Ave N, and at the corner of 5th Ave N and Harrison St. The Seattle Center has nearby bus stops serviced by the 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 24, 32, 33, D Line, and the monorail. The venue is listed as wheelchair accessible. The Seattle Center has additional accessibility information available on their website here: http://www.seattlecenter.com/about/accessibility.aspx

If you are coming by Light Rail it is best to get off at Westlake Station and then ride the Monorail over to the Seattle Center which drops you off right at the Armory.
