New York City Pixel Perfect Brews: Game Dev Workshop

Sun, Nov 8, 10:00 PM
From Pixels and Coffee Game Dev Collective

We're gathering for a casual workshop where game developers of all skill levels can hangout, work on projects, and chat about what we're building. Whether you're deep into a game jam, tinkering with a side project, or just exploring game dev for the first time, this is a low-pressure space to work alongside other folks who get it. We'll have some loose structure around sharing ideas and giving feedback, but mostly it's about being in a room with people who care about making games. Bring your laptop, your questions, your work-in-progress, or just yourself if you want to learn what others are working on. We'll grab some good coffee and settle in for a few hours of actual work time mixed with conversation. No presentations, no pressure—just developers and coffee in New York City doing what we do. If this sounds like your kind of thing, please RSVP so we know how much coffee to expect. Hope to see you there.
