About this event
Come join us for our weekly gathering of game developers and gamer enthusiasts.
Every second Thursday we focus on a new game in development to playtest, discuss and share feedback. Come and see the latest and greatest your fellow Game devs have in store.
The Okanagan Game Developers’ Association (OGDA) is dedicated to growing a thriving gaming industry in the Okanagan Region. Kelowna is home to a wide community of talented game developers, coming from careers at studios like EA, Blizzard, Disney, Bioware and more, as well as hosting institutes like the University of British Columbia – Okanagan (UBCO), and Okanagan College (OC). We are seeking to connect these passionate people together, as well as provide valuable resources and events to help foster development, career advancement, community, and advocate for the interests of game developers.
Game Dev Veterans – Come showcase your latest projects, or share tips and insight with newer developers.
Students & New Creators – Meet the community, build connections, and grow your skills with supportive peers.
