It’s game on for the Sunshine Coast. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a budding games developer, Season of the Dev is here to connect and grow our local games scene. From March to May 2025, we’re bringing together our Sunshine Coast games development community for informative workshops, networking events, a community day and an exhilarating 3-day Game Jam.
All events are free or low cost, but have limited capacity. Registrations for the events open soon.
