Game Maker Discovery Day
I’m the chairman of Game City, a non-profit organization working to help game development activities in Southern Sweden. Together with Foo Café we’re arranging Game Maker Discovery Day on March 13 . The event is aimed at anyone who is interested in how games are created, no previous development knowledge is required. Ah, it will be great! :) Don’t miss if you’re in the Malmö area.
