How it works

The event is composed of two parts:

Talk: Short game-related presentations + announcements from the community
Play: All participants are welcome to exhibit games and projects they’ve made

If you ever attended the event before 2020, there’s a big difference now: the Play showcase will run from the start and continue throughout the evening, also during the Talk part. We can do this due to the space layout of the new venue.

Agenda

18:30 Doors open, project showcase starts
