SUMMARY:The State of NYC Indie: Developing a Better Games Community
DESCRIPTION:New York City has become a hotbed for pioneering independent game developers whose unique artistic expression rarely gets the spotlight it deserves. We can change this by finding new ways to work together\, creating a more cohesive and inclusive community in the process. \nOur panel of four community leaders are passionate about this goal. Each has long-standing roots in the NYC game development scene yet brings a diverse set of perspectives that cover both the professional and academic realms. This meeting of the minds will discuss why NYC is a great place to make games\, how we can work together to better support NYC game developers\, and more. \nOur Panelists: \nYiyi Zhang (GUMBO) \nKyra Wills-Umdenstock (EGD Collective) \nJess Haskins (NYC Indie Games Social) \nMattia Sicuro (IGDA NYC) \nThe panel is moderated by Tim Rattray\, a writer and documentarian creating a docuseries on the NYC game development scene. A teaser for his team’s ongoing work will be shown here. \nWe thank the NYU Game Center for graciously hosting this independently run event. Come early to check out their Playtest Thursday event! \nEvent Details: \nDate: Thursday\, October 9th\, 2025 \nTime: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM \nPlace: NYU Game Center Theater — Lecture Hall 202 (370 Jay Street\, Brooklyn\, NY) \nPrice: Donation (Recommmended: $10 | For a free ticket\, use the code GAFREE) \nAfter paying off the expenses for running this event independently [note: we’ve achieved this goal\, thank you!]\, the remaining profits will be split among the organizations of our panelists represent (25%/per). \nFollowing the panel\, we’ll move to Evil Twin’s DUMBO taproom (43 Main St.) to socialize and network. All ages are welcome. \nFor any questions and inquiries\, email Tim Rattray (tim.rattray@me.com). \nAlso\, a huge thank you to Krysti Pryde (Playcrafting) for creating the poster and banner art! \nOur Partners: \nNYU Game Center \nPlaycrafting \nGame Devs of Color Expo \nWonderville \nProduced By: \nTim Rattray\, Nicole Papadopoulos\, & PolyMedia Productions
