Game Development Events in Europe

4th edition of the monthly Salzburg Gamedev Meetup powered by gold extra WE ARE!

The Meetup is intended to connect Salzburg's gamedev and interactive media scene with a mix of short impulse talks, project announcements and open networking. Hosted by gold extra, it happens every first Wednesday of the month in the gold extra studio in central Salzburg.

If you have a topic or news you want to present, please reach out (@spikymamuang or raff@sappalot.studio)! This meetup gives you a stage to present your projects!

Agenda:
- Impulse talk: How to hate AI (or not) by Ivan Kurkin
- Some smaller announcements
- Open networking
- Maybe we'll head over to academy Bar if motivated

The impulse this time will be a more interactive discussion, facilitated by thetre curator and MA Applied Theatre student Ivan Kurkin.

The AI is already here — and with it come complex questions, emotions, hopes, and concerns.
This Wednesday, we will take these questions and feelings as the starting point of our meetup. Ivan will facilitate an interactive process where we explore what connects us, what creates tension, and how we can open up a shared conversation about AI within the game developer and interactive media community.

See you there!

This month's 1GAM theme is "Jump, man"

What does 1GAM mean? Well, it's a monthly Game Jam (1 Game A Month, get it?). Every month we give you a theme, and you can bring a game you made during that month to show it off to the rest of the attendees. Think of it as optional inspiration for prototypes, and if you need extra motivation.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Meeting on DISCORD
1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at 3pm CST.
Do you know how or want to develop video games? Do you want to help others develop video games?
This is the meetup for you to join then. We are a bunch of very laid back developers who come together twice a month to blow off steam and nerd out a little bit.
We talk about games that we are developing, games we have played lately, games we played as kids... pretty much anything that anyone wants to talk about.
We encourage members to bring works in progress for critique and feedback any time.
So come on out to a meetup or two, you will have a good time talking games with us.

This is our twice a month meeting, hosted through Discord, where we talk about games, game development, game industry news, or whatever the fates will.

Sometimes group members will show off their recent projects, host game project feedback sessions, or present on topics.

We are always open to using this time for whatever the group wants or needs to use this time for. Just post in the group or DM the group admins if you have any questions, thoughts, or suggestions.

A Meetup for Birmingham based game developers, animators, interactive media designers, artists, coders with an interest in making games or interactive media.

Meetings are hosted online through Discord. RSVP to get an invite to our Discord server.
