Gæmz #41 in Tokyo (Hybrid)

​🐆👟🌿🐆👟🌿🐆👟🌿🐆👟🌿🐆👟🌿🐆👟🌿
It's time for the monthly Gæmz in Tokyo!
(This time we can stream. Let us know if you'd like to attend online via Discord!)

​​GÆMZ MEETUP is a place/gathering for people who are interested in the following things:

​​- Developing art/experimental games or playful media of that sort
- Thinking about games as an artform
- Talking about cool ways to make art for interactive media
- Trying to integrate non-game/non-interactive art world into the interactive world
- Music games that are not hit-the-bars-you-see
- Shaking that button
- Alternative villains
- d0peshit
- Telling me what else to add to this list

​​Let's hang out and talk about what we've been up to. A lot of us would talk about the projects we've worked on but you can also tell us where you've been to or what you've been playing, etc. If you have a prototype/finished work that you want to share/playtest/get feedback, totally bring it! The event space is still fresh (so you can't find it on a map app). Those that RSVP will be given some additional address details.

​​

​​To keep everyone safe from Covid-19, if you don't feel well, rest instead.

​​Covid-19から皆の安全を守るため、体調がすぐれない場合は休養をとること。
