Game Development Events in Paris
European game development splits between two rhythms: the big annual anchor conferences (Gamescom and Devcom in Cologne, Reboot Develop in Dubrovnik, Nordic Game in Malmö, Develop:Brighton, Game Access in Brno, Game Connection Paris, FÍS Games Summit in Ireland, Slovenia Games Meetup) and the month-by-month community rhythm of engine-specific meetups (Godot Stammtisch, Unreal Engine sessions), GameDev meetups, playtest nights, game jams, and studio open evenings in the cities with working industries behind them.
This page narrows the Paris calendar to Game Development events. It's a subset of France's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.
Paris hosts one of Europe's most serious AI-research scenes. Mistral, Hugging Face, Kyutai, and a long list of labs cluster here, and the conference calendar reflects that with dense ML and applied-AI events. The city is also Europe's de facto Web3 capital thanks to EthCC each July, with a steady rhythm of Ethereum, ZK, and L2 community events in between.

Week-end Game Jam ! (8 places)
Paris, 🇫🇷 France
Bonjour Ă tous et Ă toutes !
Evolution du groupe: On fait des game jams mensuelles maintenant !
Pour ceux pas au courant, ça veut dire qu'on crée un jeu par mois le temps d'un week-end (vendredi soir -> dimanche soir).
DONC je vous propose de nous retrouver chez moi (appart 43m2 dans le 17e) pour qu'on puisse créer ensemble le jeu de ce mois-ci !
Les règles pour choix du thème etc. changent chaque jam mais on penche plutôt pour que chacun écrive un mot par catégorie (e.g. thème, genre du jeu, direction artistique, etc.) et on tirera chaque catégorie au hasard au début de la jam !
A noter, on travaille sur Unity donc C# pour les programmeurs :)
(après y'a GPT4 tout ça donc bon lol)
N'hésitez pas à me MP sur le moindre sujet :D
A très vite !!
