OGDA Bi-weekly Playtest

The Okanagan's Game Development community coming together to showcase games in development, playtest and gather feedback. Welcome to the OGDA Weekly Meetup! Come join us for our weekly gathering of game developers and gamer enthusiasts. Every second Thursday we focus on a new game in development to playtest, discuss and share feedback. Come and see the latest and greatest your fellow Game devs have in store. The Okanagan Game Developers’ Association (OGDA) is dedicated to growing a thriving gaming industry in the Okanagan Region. Kelowna is home to a wide community of talented game developers, coming from careers at studios like EA, Blizzard, Disney, Bioware and more, as well as hosting institutes like the University of British Columbia - Okanagan (UBCO), and Okanagan College (OC). We are seeking to connect these passionate people together, as well as provide valuable resources and events to help foster development, career advancement, community, and advocate for the interests of game developers. Game Dev Veterans - Come and showcase your newest idea or share some of your tips, tricks, and best practices. Enthusiasts and Students - Come meet some amazing people and grow your skills. Join the OGDA Discord for more details and stay connected. Or visit our website and view our full event calendar. Our initiatives are designed to connect game creators with industry professionals, investors, publishers, academic institutions, and government bodies. We provide regular meetups to connect you to the community, as well as workshops, Game Jams, playtesting and feedback sessions, and fireside chats and seminars with top industry veterans. ***Notice: Photographs may be taken at events, which may be used in marketing materials to promote future OGDA events.
