Tech Events at Replay Bristol Board Game Bar, Bristol

Three hours of relaxed jam time at Replay Bristol Board Game Bar for game developers, programmers, artists and designers working on their own projects. Bring whatever you are building; the point is company and quick feedback, not a talk programme. Free, run by Bristol Indie Developers on Meetup. Starts 18:00. Why go: the easiest way into Bristol's indie game scene without a pitch or a deadline. Best for solo devs and artists who want people to build alongside.

Bristol Indie Developers' monthly co-working evening for people making games, at Replay board game bar on Cheltenham Road, 6pm to 9pm.

Conversation is kept low so the people around you can concentrate. All skill levels and disciplines are welcome. Free to register. Why go: the easiest way to meet Bristol's indie game makers in Christmas week, with no agenda beyond getting your own project moving. Best for solo and hobbyist game developers who want a deadline-free evening of making alongside others.

Three hours of quiet, laptop-open working time for people making games. Programmers, artists, designers and solo developers bring whatever they are currently building and work on it alongside others doing the same, with conversation kept low so everyone can concentrate. Bristol Indie Developers run it as a drop-in rather than a talks night: bring your own hardware, take a table, arrive and leave when you like. It runs 18:00 to 21:00 at Replay, the board game bar on Cheltenham Road, where food and drink are available at the bar. The group keeps a Discord going between sessions. It falls on the fourth Wednesday, its monthly slot. Free to attend. Organisers may take photos for the group's Discord; you can ask not to be in them. Why go: it is one of the few Bristol rooms where game developers actually work in front of each other, which is how collaborators and honest feedback get found. Best if you have a project in progress, not just an interest.

Three hours of relaxed co-working for game developers of any discipline — programmers, artists, designers. Drop in and out; bring your own hardware.
