Hello, game dev enthusiasts! Our next mixer will be held on October 26th from 6pm to 8pm in the Arts and Sciences lounge (3rd floor of the Maxcy building) at the University of New Haven at 300 Boston Post Rd, West Haven, CT 06516.

Feel free to bring anything you need to demo your digital and/or tabletop games. The university will provide tables and chairs for us to set up on, as well as a projector to connect a laptop to. We’ll have a few speakers present their work as well as the opportunity for everyone to show their games and have others try it out.

As this is a hybrid event, we’ll be using our virtual exhibit space in Gather.town! This is where you can find virtual booths that will contain links and other media for projects being worked on by local game devs. We will also be live streaming the event in the “Talks” room in our Gather.town space. The event space can be found here:
