The IGDA Drinkup is back in town! Join the local gamedev community for a free drink at the VR-Bar VREI, sponsored by the always fun Apprien! This friday, on the 8th of June, 2018, 19h at VREI.
There’s apparently some collision with Play:Austria there, no worries, we will keep the party going long enough!
The ReVersed Game Jam is back! Find out more here.
It’s back! 15h on the 26.1. @ RaumD, Vienna, our favourite games tax adviser Florian Kalchmair (HFP) will be talking about the Austrian tax system, founding a company, the most important things to keep in mind when employing or doing cooperative projects with someone, and wage dumping (and how dangerous it is). This will be in German only, though if there is enough interest, we will do an English version again!
The Global Game Jam is around the corner, so head over here to find out more!
Hey everyone! We’ve been having some server problems, making it unable for us to post anything to the website D:
