Our Communities
Boston Indies
Boston Indies is a community of independent game developers in Massachusetts supporting hobbyists, professionals, artists, academics, and anyone else interested in the craft of game creation.
Our goals are to:
• Foster a sense of community among Boston’s independent game creators.
• Encourage creating games independent of large budgets and major corporations.
• Serve as a brain trust among local independent developers and create a positive environment for learning and getting critical feedback
We are completely agnostic with respect to technology, development platform, game type, and scope of game development. As long as you show up with an open mind, helpful attitude, and you are committed to making your own games, on your own terms, you are welcome to join us.
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Boston Indies: Pre-PAX Demo NightKendall/MIT Open Space, Cambridge, MA
Come show off the game you're working on, or just come kick it and see what folks in the community are up to! Hang out and support your fellow game makers with some feedback, informal play testing, and encouragement.
No sign-up required, space is first-come first-serve; if you have something to show, just bring a laptop/tablet to play on! The venue has power but WiFi is a little spotty, so be prepared for that.
After demo night, join us at Flat Top Johnny's for drinks, pinball, and hangin' out!
