What we’re about
Boston GameDev convenes many of the game-creator meetups in the greater Boston area. This includes:
- Boston Indies

Our goal is to create a unified source for meetup information and logistics so that the game-maker community can reliably understand the goings-on in our area.

Our Communities
Boston Indies
Boston Indies is a community of dedicated independent game developers in Massachusetts and the surrounding area. We define ourselves in connection with our community spirit and our group objectives. We gather in person once a month to talk about the art and craft of making games, and to share our work with each other.
Our goals are to:
• Foster a sense of community among Boston’s independent game creators
• Facilitate the monthly meetup and other related community events
• Encourage makers to create games independent of large budgets and large company ties.
• Provide a safe environment to obtain critical feedback on game development works in progress.
• Serve as a brain trust for important information sharing among local independent developers
We are completely agnostic with respect to technology, development platform, game type, and scope of game development. As long as you show up with an open mind and a helpful attitude and you are committed to making your own games, on your own terms, you are welcome to join us.
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Boston Indies: Demo Night @ The Open Space!Kendall/MIT Open Space, Cambridge, MA
Come show off the game you're working on, or just come kick it and see what folks in the community are up to! Hang out and support your fellow game makers with some feedback, informal play testing, and encouragement.
No sign-up required; if you have something to show, just bring a laptop/tablet to play on! The venue has power but WiFi is a little spotty, so be prepared for that.This season of Boston Indies is sponsored by Snoozy Kazoo! Snoozy Kazoo is a local indie know for Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, as well as their brand new title, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank!
