That's a wrap on the very first Boston Gamedev Week! We were totally blown away by how many people showed up to every single event, wore our pins and embraced BGW enthusiastically. Thank you to everyone who took this leap with us, and to all of our incredible organizers. Let's do this again!

My #PAXEast Whirlwind of Fun is underway! Had a 🥰 time at the @bostongamedev.bsky.social event last night. Met devs working on a couch co-op game with a cute embroidery art style. The audience is "people who don't usually play games" but maybe it's for you too? store.steampowered.com/app/3448390/...
