Our September meetup is a special one: ConnectiQuest is a fun, gamified networking event with quests to complete and swag to earn! It is a collaboration between four games organizations in Austin, TX: Games Y’all, IGDA, EGaDS!, and WIGA. Come and meet new friends, play new games, and learn about new orgs!

Free admission, donations welcome! RSVPs encouraged, or check-in at the door.

Games Y’all showcases indie games and digital art projects from our local community and beyond. You can come to our meetups to play games, experience digital art, and connect with the local Austin games community. Games Y’all celebrates, amplifies, and supports the unique and underrepresented within indie games and beyond.

The mission of the International Game Developer Association - Austin (IGDA - ATX) chapter is supporting and empowering game developers in the greater Austin area to achieve fulfilling and sustainable careers, along with bridging the gap between both new and old game devs.

WIGA’s intent is to provide a communal space for under-represented developers, including but not limited to: those identifying as women, non-binary, transgender, and genderqueer peoples.

The Electronic Game Developers Society (EGaDS!) at UT Austin is an interdisciplinary student organization open to all UT Austin students with a passion for game development. Our mission is to help students grow as developers while fostering a supportive and welcoming community.
