Level Up Tuesday: Industry Talk + Networking + Game Showcase

MAKE SURE TO RSVP to get in for FREE. Otherwise, there is a $20 cover change.

Level Up Tuesdays is your space to learn, connect, and play with fellow game developers in NYC.

Every month, there is talk from an industry professional, following which there will be spotlights/demos of local games, alongside a cool place to network with other game devs.

This Month’s Speaker: M. Paul Weeks (He/Him)

Specializing in making competitive games for the browser, M. Paul Weeks has been the game director and lead designer on both Tough Love Arena and Scramble Heart City.

His talk, “How to Balance a Fighting Game” will give a brief overview of how fighting games work, followed by a discussion and series of case studies on how fighting games have been balanced over the years. While the examples will be specific, the lessons apply to balancing any kind of competitive game.

Featuring:

Scramble Heart City by M. Paul Games – A 3v3 tag fighting game that’s playable in the browser.

Floaty Fighters by Shattered Games – It’s fight or flight! Battle it out in the sky as four unique combatants in this free movement fighting game. It’s anyone’s game, think on the fly! Play with up to four players locally!
