The best way to get plugged into the community is to join our Meetup group!
A community for game developers
East Bay Game Devs & Creatives is a welcoming community for industry professionals, indie game developers, hobbyists, artists, musicians, designers, students, and those interested in breaking into video game development. We’re primarily based in Oakland but welcome game builders of all backgrounds from around the Bay. Our events facilitate discussions about making games and serve as a platform for sharing projects and ideas.
Founded in 2019 by Jedd Goble, the group has adapted from in-person events to online events and back again. Events are posted primarily on Meetup.
Oakland-based
Events tend to take place in Oakland, but we welcome game creators of all skill levels from around the San Francisco Bay.
Our events are organized and announced via Meetup, so be sure to join the group!
