Nashville Game Developers (NashGameDev) is a 501c3 nonprofit that promotes and advocates for game development in Middle Tennessee, with the intent to have the area be a viable and rewarding location for game development careers and hobbyist endeavors. We run talks focused on all aspects of game development (including art, technology, and the industry), group working sessions, game jams, specialized workshops, and other community events. We educate our members and encourage them to master their craft.
