IGDA Melbourne Chapter

[Paul]

In response to the sad closure of Transmission Games, local games developer and teacher, Mark Flanagan, is re-establishing the local chapter of the IGDA, with the aim of providing long-term support and opportunities.

The IGDA (http://www.igda.org/) is an organisation dedicated to improving developers' careers and lives through: Community, Professional Development, and Advocacy. It is open to anyone, from students to professional developers, and the Melbourne chapter encourages everyone involved in game development locally to come along and help to build the local community. This first meetup will be a chance to learn how to get involved, to plan for the future, and to have input into what you’d like to see at upcoming get togethers and events.

Freeplay is pleased to support the formation of this new local chapter, and co-director Paul Callaghan will give an overview of alternative funding models and opportunities for indie game developers.

When: Tuesday 10 November 7pm onwards
Where: The Embassy, 1 Queensbridge St Southbank
