SUMMARY:Kaunas Game Developers Meetup
DESCRIPTION:The last Kaunas Game Developers meetup of this spring season will be held on May 14 at Ąžuolynas library. \nThis 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! \nThe 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) \nLet’s end the season with a bang! \nRegistration not necessary\, but you can sign up through FB event or on Discord.
