The DGA networking lunch in Utrecht is an accessible way to get to know the games industry. You can play games, find inspiration and easily meet the developers.
The networking lunch takes place in Utrecht at the DotSlash building, formerly home to Dutch Game Garden. Several games studios are still based there, and their owners regularly drop in. Showcase and visitor places are fully booked for almost every edition.
This time, Jeroen Derwort, Jasper Koning and Tim van Daalen attended on behalf of THUAS GameLab.
The following games were available to try:
- Ada eden: 1001Nights, https://www.1001nights.ai
