Noble Steed Game's 8th ever WIP night is here!

In collaboration with the Arts & Cultural Exchange, and supported by Screen NSW, we are celebrating games made in New South Wales through a casual evening of micro talks, playtesting, and catching up with fellow devs.

Come hear about your local game devs' journeys into the industry, what they're currently working on, and how they're making it. Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are available in the venue, and a local food truck is situated right outside if you're looking for something heavier.

WIP Nights are free to attend and open to all ages and people of all levels of experience/proximity to gamedev. Please register as soon as possible as we only have limited tickets available.

When: 20th March, Friday, 5:30pm - 8:30pm (Talks start 6:00pm)

Where: ACE, 8 Victoria Road, Parramatta NSW

Arts & Cultural Exchange (ACE) is a cultural organisation working on Dharug Country in Western Sydney. First Nations first, diversity and equity are our guiding principles. We have five program pillars: First Nations, Youth Engagement, Multicultural Women, Neurodivergent Artists and Aged Care, and Screen. We are committed to social justice, using creativity to reverse disadvantage and produce groundbreaking interdisciplinary, intergenerational collaborative projects co-devised with the communities with whom we work.

ACE’s Screen Cultures Program works with people from underrepresented communities to 1) support the development of new stories and storytellers, 2) upskill Below-the-Line crew to fill crucial shortages in the NSW screen industry, and 3) develop new audiences for community- driven screening events and festivals.

WIP Night is also supported by Screen NSW's Industry Development Program, a program to support organisations to deliver professional development and upskilling initiatives to NSW screen and digital games practitioners.
