- Story of Stilt Fella by Henrik Hermans from September Games

September Games first commercial game, Stilt Fella, released in the spring of 2020 and for a few days it was a viral hit, getting streamed by lots of big name Twitch streamers, having as many as 60 000 concurrent viewers at its peak, and ensuring the future of the one-man indiedev start-up. Hear about the events leading up to the release, the struggles of sudden success, and what happened next, in this presentation by game developer Henrik Hermans.

Don't Be a Tool: Master Your Development Environment
- Mikael Matveinen from Grokka Games

Most developers use the same tools every day without really understanding what they can do. This talk explores why tool mastery matters and shares practical examples that will immediately improve your workflow - from your IDE to your terminal to version control.

There is time for socializing and networking after the presentation. If you want to show and demo your game please contact us so we can reserve a spot for you.

This event is one of our monthly meetups. This event has a very low entry-bar event so all you need is just to show up!

Welcome!
