Evening !! Just a reminder that our next monthly meetup is next week, on the 9th of July!

And also another reminder, we will be meeting in Mad Dog at the top of Womanby street (opposite the castle) at least for the next few months to see if that continues to work out better for us than the very noisy and sportsy Owain Glyndwr!

See you there!

Everyone, you know what to do!

There's been a few major updates to games coming out of our community recently, come take a look:

Planted! - Demo is out!
Alawon: Life of a Game Composer - Announced!
Bus Bound - Released!
Character Limit - Demo is out!
Chessman Adventures - Demo is out!

Give them all a wishlist, play the demos, give feedback, buy the games when they are out and - very importantly - leave a review!

These small details can really help our local devs beat the algorithms and gain some traction on steam especially!
