April meetup about GDC and plans for the next one

Exactly one week ago, on Tuesday April 30th we had a meetup where we discussed web presence at the Game Developers Conference that happened in March in San Francisco.

Official guests included Erik Dubbelboer from Poki and our very own Noël Meudec from Meta, but more folks were sharing their experiences from attending the event as well.

Check out the video or the transcript above as we talked for almost a full hour, and there are multiple interesting stories shared by participants.

Next meetup idea: OMG

At the end of the call we’ve mentioned the Open Mini Games project that originally was aiming to fix discoverability, but it’s more than that: we’d like to welcome game developers, engine creators, and publishers to actively work on refining the idea of seamless export from game engines into publisher platforms – a unified way of storing game metadata that would make life of game developers so much easier.

With platforms like Itch already full of web games, and companies like Discord investing their resources into this topic, we can and should collaborate for the benefit of everyone. If you’re interested in joining, please reach out!
