SDC has personally helped my small indie crew of game developers stay motivated on developing our game GONERS. They have provided many opportunities and spaces for us to present our work, and to network with other like-minded and inspired individuals. They are an amazing resource for game developers in the Sacramento area.

SDC has been instrumental in building my confidence as a small developer. They've helped me get placement at events, supported me during development, and even helped me find publishers at GDC. As a small developer, being part of this community has made it possible to ship my game
