We are very excited to announce that our Women in Tech Series will be continuing this month with another great presentation. On Monday, March 14, 2022 from 6 – 8 pm we will be joined by guest speaker Meagan Byrne. This will be an online virtual event where Meagan will speak about “How to Start an Indie Game (Without Going into Debt or Burning Out)”. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join us!
Interested in the talk? Here’s what you can expect!
Thinking about starting your own studio? Do you have a prototype and want to turn it into a sellable game? Not sure where to start? Attendees will hear from studio founder and lead designer Meagan Byrne about what it takes to START a commercial indie game in Canada. This will include what you need before seeking funding, possible first-time funding streams to explore, and how much work it all is (before you even start production!). Meagan will also be sharing insight on how to handle the load and expectations without going into debt or burning out.
