Sacramento Game Development Meetup Group is an excellent group! Great way to network with individuals who are like minded and share ideas.
A great group of driven individuals. It is always wonderful to participate in the jams with you guys.
Great bunch of people, I look forward to working with some on fun little projects. I hope the facebook group gains traction, and really hope to actually complete a few games with some artist/design help
The Sac Town game dev community is growing. You should be a part of it.
It's a great environment to be in, and gives great hope for a stronger presence for the gaming industry in the Sacramento area for the near future. I would recommend that everyone come check it out at least once or twice.
Very helpful for anyone who wants to pursue a career in game industry. helps expand opportunity and knowledge in the community. would love to attend more meetings.
The group has shown to be very willing to assist in furthering game developing in Sacramento.
