MEETUP (bay area)

whatsarobot

I’m on the wrong continent, but love that this is happening. I’ll be there in spirit.

exodus I’m also very intrigued by the most in this sentence. I feel like it’s doing a lot of work.

Most of the devs who show up are indie and friendly and stuff.

Now I wonder if there are enough of us in Japan to do a meetup on this side of the planet.

whatsarobot there are regular game dev meetups there! Mostly indies too. I went once but it was too crowded :o if you know Paul aka polm23 on Twitter he’s got the line on that.

I wonder the same thing! Current tally: 2.

While I only post sporadically, I would be potentially interested. The only problem is that Japan is pretty large, even if there are enough people who live here and are interested we may not be living that close to each other. So it would require some degree of planning. For example I won’t necessarily mind going to Tokyo, but would need to know some time in advance so that I could plan some other stuff and go for a whole weekend.

exodus i don’t but maybe i’ll look him up! thanks.

I live in LA & will probably be in LA when this is going on, but I also think it’s cool that it’s happening. For real, this is one of extremely few online spaces I can think of where hanging out with the people in it is actually something I would like to do in the real world. Have fun!

Somebody in the LA area should consider steping up and organizing something local as I’m sure there’s a number of us down here as well.

Here’s tokyo indies btw (I neglected to mention this is tokyo-specific) https://twitter.com/tokyo_indies

Oh nice, it’s not too far from the BART!

exodus

JJSignal yeah, intentionally so!! Hoping people can make it from all over the bay as a result.

Moon we used to do insert credit meetups in LA around E3 back in the old days. Maybe next time I’m down there I’ll plan something.

Sending love from over here on the Least Cost!

I like the idea of a meetup, but I’m young enough and you guys seem old enough that it’d probably be a bit weird
also it’s to dang far away from me! next time do a meetup closer to me so I can also not show up for reasons which are probably actually just stupid excuses!

exodus

NoJoTo ha ha well, the likelihood of it happening outside of Oakland (where both frank and I live) is pretty slim for the time being, but who knows!

Unofficial Scottish meet-up happening right now at my house. I’m having a great time.

Dang, on the right continent but on the wrong side! I’ll have to catch the east coast version of this when it rolls around.

There’s at least 2 other members in NYC 👀

exodus

Y’all could do that meetup yourselves even! Liz and jaffe are there too. Oh also tim whenever he emerges from the cloud of cyberpunk

Oh for sure re: feasibility. But might be fun if things are somehow manageable. Just getting a read to start!

Nice. Now the tally is potentially up to three. Well, I’m in Yokohama for what that’s worth, but I also sometimes travel to other places in Japan for work (usually either Nagoya or the Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto zone).
