The Calgary Game Developers Association is dedicated to the promotion and support of local game creators in the city. Interested in joining a community of game designers, programmers, artists and musicians? We're all only one click away.
Join the CGDA at Game Con Canada, the largest gaming expo in Western Canada!
YYC Game Critique is like a book club for games, where each month we pick a new game that we feel will make for good discussion. Next up is Amnesia: The Bunker. RSVP to join us as seats are limited.
Once a month the CGDA meets in person to socialize, discuss game development and listen to presentations from other local members. Meetups are always free and open to anyone interested in making games.
Once a quarter we all gather on the CGDA Discord channel to see what everyone in the community is working on. Join us at online 7PM to see what local game developers are creating!
Level up your game development journey at Indie Friday! This weekly event is a co-working session where game developers across the city can bring their projects and work alongside other game creators. The event is frequented by programmers, artists, designers, musicians, and more. Attendees are encouraged to bring their projects and receive feedback on their games.
The event usually takes place every Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM in the East Annex room at the Platform Innovation Centre. Join the #indie-friday channel in our Discord to learn about each week's attendance, time, and location.
