Auckland Makes Games

This month's Level Up will be broken up into two sections; a talk by Antony Maday and a playtesting session. This event will be hosted at AUT with the talk in WG126 and playtesting in WE6 room 605.

You Have a Game Idea: Now What?
Antony will guide you through the practical steps to take after coming up with your exciting new game idea, showing you how to test your product selection in ways that inform your design pillars and guide your production plan.

Progress Bar
Bring down your WIP, demos, or your released titles to show off and receive some feedback. Beyond playing games (or getting feedback on your own) Progress Bar is a great platform for networking, knowledge sharing, celebrating, and socializing!
