IGDA Albany Chapter

RPI's GameFest 2023 returns in person tomorrow for the first time since the start of the pandemic! Join us at @TVCOG from 1-5pm for live demos of student games from eight universities across NYS, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, including @RITMAGIC and @NYUGameCenter.

@RPIGameHub Just a heads up - due to the extreme wind chill tonight we are doing a virtual-only kickoff on discord.

We're hosting our #globalgamejam #ggj2023 site this year at both @RPIGameHub and virtually on discord! Free meals at the RPI location! All the signups are at our landing page below bit.ly/albanyggj23 Starting tomorrow at 6PM!

@RPIGameHub We're able to do this with the support of @rpigamedev and @tvgamespace! Thanks much to both groups :)

Gearing up for @globalgamejam 2023? Here’s a thread highlighting NYC based & adjacent Global Game Jam sites for this weekend! #ggj2023 #NYMakesGames

We're just a week away from #GGJ2023 -- and for this year's event, we'll be serving as a satellite site in partnership with @AlbanyIGDA, @rpigamedev, and @tvgamespace! Check out the page below for more information, including the link to register! sites.google.com/view/igda-alba…
