Every first Wednesday of the month, Dutch Game Garden hosts a network lunch for companies and parties interested in our program. An afternoon of efficient networking for creative professionals, teachers, project leaders, future interns, students and potential clients.

The network lunch starts at 12:00 with a brief summary of news from Dutch Game Garden and an update regarding events and activities. A short round of pitches will follow this, where you can present yourself and your ideas to those present. Many attendees find clients, projects, jobs and internships through this networking event.

Every month, we present promising new games by both students and professionals. The creators themselves will be there to present and to answer any questions. Play the games and come to see some of the latest talents from the Netherlands!

You don’t have to bring anything yourself, we will provide sandwich things, as well as other tasty snacks. Feel free to leave your contact details with us. We will send out an email to all those interested in getting into contact afterwards.

Note: only through registration. Sign up here: https://www.dutchgamegarden.nl/project/network-lunch

Join us every first Wednesday of the month at Café Fokus!

Show your game and drink a beer.
Dutch developers and their (international) friends invite you to play each other’s games, give feedback and informally enrich your professional network.

A meetup for game designers in the Netherlands to playtest each other’s games in progress.

• Everyone brings a prototype or game in progress.
• Pizza when you arrive.
• Play and discuss games in progress of all attendees.

Bring a device to play your game on. To playtest as many games as possible, only bring a colleague if necessary. playdev.club is not intended for students, as students already have classmates, mentors and teachers to get feedback from.

A year has passed and another Global Game Jam just took place. That means you all have a lot of new games to show! And that means; it’s time for another Barcade!

Barcade is an event for game creators to connect, grab a drink and get a chance to showcase their game projects that are still in development or recently finished.
In this edition, the focus is more on networking and the games exposition, but still “gezellig”. The goal with Barcade_02 is to widen the audience and connect with more industry people outside of Breda, as well as students from HKU. The games will also be showcased in a separate space from the bar so there wont be any drinks near the equipment.

Barcade 2 will also host a deconstruction workshop where three industry professionals will deconstruct your games and give feedback. A great chance if you’re looking to give your game a boost! And that’s not all; this will also be your chance to win the first official Barcade award! (You can opt in on Deconstruction Workshop the form).

If you want to showcase your game please fill in this form:
