The Calgary Game Developers Association is dedicated to the promotion and support of local game creators in the city. Interested in joining a community of game designers, programmers, artists and musicians? We're all only one click away.
Once a month the CGDA meets in person to socialize, discuss game development and listen to presentations from other local members. Meetups are always free and open to anyone interested in making games.
YYC Game Critique is like a book club for games, where each month we pick a new game that we feel will make for good discussion. Next up is Hi-Fi Rush. RSVP to join us as seats are limited.
Once a quarter the CGDA meets on the Discord channel where local developers can show what they've been working on. These Meetups are always free and open to anyone interested in making games.
Once a quarter we all gather on the CGDA Discord channel to see what everyone in the community is working on. Join us at online 7PM to see what local game developers are creating!
