Curious how to start learning something? Want to chat with someone of another discipline? Need a place to work on a project and share it with others? ISG is a social, game development focused work group that encourages people of all skill levels and disciplines to come together and collaborate for the benefit of all.
This is a great place to begin your game development journey and learn from fellow game creators as they work on their projects.
To attend, you must be fully vaccinated (second shot received by October 5th). Note that you will need to bring proof of vaccination (a photo on your phone is okay) and identification.
Bring your laptop and any software you will need to work on your game/art/music.
How it Works:
• Show up, introduce yourself, let everyone know what you hope to accomplish
• Ask for help with anything, get to know others, share your projects, or enjoy the company of others as you work!
• Share your highs and lows, high fives all around

How to find us:
It can be kind of hard to find us! We are on the 4th floor of the Armory building. Follow the signs to the restrooms, and nearby you’ll find the stairs and the elevator. Take one of those to the fourth floor and look for the Seattle Indies banner.

Accessibility information:
There is paid street parking all around the neighborhood. There are paid parking garages at 516 Harrison St, 650 3rd Ave N, and at the corner of 5th Ave N and Harrison St. The Seattle Center has nearby bus stops serviced by the 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 24, 32, 33, D Line, and the monorail. The venue is listed as wheelchair accessible. The Seattle Center has additional accessibility information available on their website here: http://www.seattlecenter.com/about/accessibility.aspx
If you are coming by Light Rail it is best to get off at Westlake Station and then ride the Monorail over to the Seattle Center which drops you off right at the Armory.

Game Club
2026-06-17 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-05-20 19:00 - 21:00 | Online event
https://a248.e.akamai.net/secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/6/b/8/c/600_323727532.jpeg
What a book club is to discussion of literature, this event is to discussion of game design. Every month, we agree to play a game, then meet to discuss and analyze its design and presentation.
To participate:

Sign up for the event.
Purchase the agreed-upon game.
Play the game. Pick it apart. Take notes!
Attend the event on Discord (very important!).

Check the #game-club channel for this month’s game and join the Game Club Voice channel to join the discussion. We’ll discuss our individual impressions and insights, and hopefully come away better and wiser game creators.
There are generally 5-10 attendees and we’ll have someone livestreaming the game as we talk. Spoilers are allowed. Everyone is encouraged to speak up, ask questions, and participate.
