**Are you an Indie working on a game?
We are encouraging more people who are working on games to bring them along. Come and show your work off to the community!**

It's back! Bring Your Own Games!

Bring a game, grab a table, and have a great time playing with other people passionate about games.

What game you bring is up to you. Maybe you're working on a game and want to get some feedback or show off a completed project. Maybe it's a board game that you've always loved or a new one you want to try out.

Maybe you want to bring a TV, an N64, 4 controllers and game like it's 1997!

Whether you come with friends, or want to meet new people on the night, The Game Dev Group is a chilled, friendly place for anyone interested in games to meet, learn, collaborate (and now game) together.
