About Game Dev Local

Game Dev Local (GDL) is a platform and community dedicated to empowering indie game developers and creative game entrepreneurs. We provide the resources, opportunities, and connections needed to help developers thrive in the games industry—whether they’re just starting out or looking to grow their studios.

Through events, mentorship, business support, and community initiatives, we bridge the gap between creativity and sustainability, helping developers turn their passion into long-term success. From in-person networking meetups like Game Dev Lunch, to GDLX, our flagship indie games expo, and the Game Dev Local Podcast, we create spaces where developers can learn, collaborate, and showcase their work.

Our mission is simple: make the games industry more accessible, supportive, and successful for independent developers worldwide.
