📍 Where? BRASTOS SKVERAS, Kaunas
📅 When? July 8th, 18:00

 

This event will be a little different from the usual meetups — the whole idea is to grab some food and drinks and enjoy a fun, relaxing evening together. And, of course, take this opportunity to catch up with members of the community and find out what everyone has been up to during these summer days.

Also, there’s one new feature that they will be trying out this year. The area has a big screen that can be used for the duration of the event. The plan is to use this screen to showcase and play your games! This can be a great opportunity to gather some general feedback, so be sure to prepare your builds in advance.

More information about the event on Discord.

The last Kaunas Game Developers meetup of this spring season will be held on May 14 at Ąžuolynas library.

This time around, we’d like to do something exciting for the Kaunas Game Developers community and invite everyone who is interested to present their games in front of the audience. It can be a great opportunity to get feedback from fellow game devs, get excited about each others projects and maybe even find some potential teammates to work with!

The format will be very similar to the usual meetups we had in the Ąžuolynas library throughout the year – the only difference being that the whole meetup will be dedicated to your projects! Each presenter will have up to 20 minutes to showcase their game on the stage. (It can be less than that if you prefer, of course)

Let’s end the season with a bang!

Registration not necessary, but you can sign up through FB event or on Discord.
