Good Game Dev Club is organised by Harvey Hayman, with the permission and blessing of Loading Bar. The event is not affiliated with any organisations. Please join the Discord and let Harvey know if you have any questions.
Good Game Dev Club (normally) takes place on the first Thursday of every month.
Come talk game development, air your views about Unity licencing fees, discuss marketing strategy, celebrate the birth of a wave of new games journalism groups or discuss government games policy. It's all good.
Loading Bar has a load of games consoles setup with a monumental selection of board and video games, the perfect place to talk games.
Frequently asked questions
Loading Bar has a disabled bathroom. The top bar is wheelchair friendly but the downstairs bar where the event takes place is not wheelchair accessible. Shoot me a message on the Discord if this is going to be a problem for you as I actively want to resolve this.
It's a meetup, there are no structured activities. You can chat, play games, have a drink and make some friends (or meet some old ones)
I'm Harvey Hayman, a Game Designer and Developer who lives and works in London. I've ran the social events for a few organisations in the past and thought I'd have a go at setting up one for the games industry.
I thought it would be cool to have a game industry meet-up located in a video game bar!
