Working on indie games can often feel like a lonesome feat, and it is easy to miss someone to talk with ideas about, get input or just have a chat about new developments in the industry or life in general. This meetup is for getting indie game developers to meet and connect.

Why not grab some lunch with fellow developers / designers / artists all interested in Game Development? Get out of the office, talk about what you're working on (Unless its NDA'ed or breaking contract!) and have a chat with others with similar mindsets. Bring your laptop along if you'd like to show off what you've made! Logo provided by the wonderful Iain Gillespie!

There are loads of different innovation games and gamestorming techniques but too few opportunities to evaluate their effectiveness outside of the context of a "live" project.
