There's a reason the summer community BBQ is one of our favorite events of the year! So great to see our amazing community come out and make an already sunny and beautiful day even better.

That's a wrap on the very first Boston Gamedev Week! We were totally blown away by how many people showed up to every single event, wore our pins and embraced BGW enthusiastically. Thank you to everyone who took this leap with us, and to all of our incredible organizers. Let's do this again!

A table with several BGW pins, name tags, and a poster that says "this event is brought to you by Boston Game Dev!"

My #PAXEast Whirlwind of Fun is underway! Had a 🥰 time at the @bostongamedev.bsky.social event last night. Met devs working on a couch co-op game with a cute embroidery art style. The audience is "people who don't usually play games" but maybe it's for you too? store.steampowered.com/app/3448390/...

First version of Make Games, Make Friends was a meetup I started w/ Adam Arrigo after we met at GDC 12-13 yrs ago. I was at Irrational, he was at Harmonix, we said “it’s dumb that our studios don’t know each other, let’s fix that!” Makes me so happy the event is still going
