A continuación, te explicamos cómo puedes conectarte con otros desarrolladores de juegos en tu área local.

From my experience, these gatherings have been absolutely valuable, providing opportunities to collaborate on projects, meet people with diverse skills and learn from others in the field.

Exemplo prático: Na Game Developers Conference (GDC), participe de sessões de networking específicas para sua área de especialização (ex: desenvolvimento mobile) e utilize o aplicativo do evento para conectar-se com outros participantes com interesses em comum.

Volunteering exposes one to a lot of learning opportunities and professional connections, this in return enables one to develop new skills, gain valuable experience, and expand their network. It can also provide insights into different industries and roles, enhance one's resume, and foster personal growth through meaningful contributions to the community.

Exatamente! Imagine, por exemplo, ser voluntário em um Game Jam local. Você poderia ajudar na organização do evento, orientar equipes iniciantes ou até mesmo atuar como jurado. Isso te coloca em contato direto com outros desenvolvedores, estúdios da região e empresas que apoiam o evento, abrindo um leque de oportunidades de networking e aprendizado dentro da sua área.

Collaborating on projects doesnt only improve one's skills but can also lead to lasting friendships and professional connections.

Connect with other game developers in your local area by attending local game development meetups, workshops, and conferences. Join local chapters of game development organizations like IGDA (International Game Developers Association). Participate in game jams and hackathons to collaborate and network with peers. Use social media and online platforms like Meetup, LinkedIn, and Facebook to find and join local game developer groups. Visit coworking spaces and tech hubs that host events for developers. Engage in community forums and contribute to local game development projects. Building these connections can foster collaboration and open up new opportunities.
