How do I meet like-minded developers?

With the new year often comes a lot of different goals and aspirations. For some, it might be finishing a game for once, for others it might simply be to get started on a game or a new hobby. Whatever it is, we wish you the best at reaching that goal and we trust that you'll have major success throughout the year. It all starts with believing in yourself and getting the right support to do so. That's what we want to be providing more and more this year: support for you! Whether you're an aspiring game developer, an experienced one, a gamer, or an aspiring professional gamer, we aim to offer opportunities for you to get closer to your goal every day.

It starts with a good social circle
They say you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Well in that case, wouldn't you want to be around high-level developers if you're aspiring to become one? It only makes sense that it's something that can only be beneficial for your career. A lot of times, people are seeking these relationships that only end up coming years down the line. Although you can't force connections that are not meant to happen, you can certainly provoke them to happen sooner rather than later. Some people will say getting those good connections happens by luck but others will say that luck comes with hard work. I personally tend to believe in the latter. So how can you put yourself in a position where you can meet such individuals? That's where your creativity and our support comes into play.

Events and gaming platforms are great ways to meet developers
There are thousands if not more of different platforms or ways to connect with people, so how do you choose the right one? Well, first, you can start by looking for events in your region. Events are a great way to be exposed directly to the community of game developers in your area who are also ready and willing to meet people just like you. These events can be found on Google or platforms like Eventbrite or even Meetup.

Other than events, another good way is through platforms like these, where you can get matched with high-end professionals in the industry for free! We host friendly competitions and online events and webinars where the winning prize varies but it's all about supporting you in your journey of becoming a better developer! 

If that's something that you're interested in, stay tuned for the next competition and webinar that's coming up!
