Game Dev Linz is a community for everyone passionate about creating, playing, or exploring games.
We bring together developers, designers, artists, writers, musicians, sound designers, programmers, and game enthusiasts of all kinds – anyone who loves the craft of making games.
Game Dev Linz meetups were revived in 2022 after the pandemic and quickly evolved into a thriving, supportive community with regular events and an active online presence.
To further strengthen our efforts and continue growing together,
we founded the official Game Dev Linz association (Verein).
We host regular meetups that feature:
- Talks & Presentations diving into game development topics
- Discussions & Networking with local creatives
- Casual Hangouts to connect, share ideas, and collaborate
Our Discord Community is another key part of what we do!
With 400+ members, it’s a place for:
- Event notifications
- Developer and creative support
- Dedicated channels for all aspects of game creation
- Organizing community events and collaborations
Our mission is to create a welcoming and supportive community for everyone interested in game development – no matter their background or experience level.
We aim to:
- Share knowledge and experience to help each other grow
- Connect developers and creatives from all areas of game creation
- Encourage collaboration and creative experimentation
- Support Austrian game developers by offering opportunities to showcase their projects at local events and gain visibility
We make these goals a reality through:
- Monthly Meetups – informative, inspiring, and open to everyone
- Community Support – from creative discussions to project feedback
- Visibility Opportunities – helping devs showcase their games at events across Austria
- An Active Online Community – on Discord and beyond
