About this event
It's that time again!
The Loaf returns yet again! A central location, great people, and great conversation abound. Free to attend! Free to present! Free talks!
"But wait... what's The Loaf?"
The Loaf is a series of meetups for local gamedevs! What started as an event hosted by Sundae Month (Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor, Dad Quest, Pupperazzi) has spun off and created it's own independent meetup community. Bring your games to show off, attend or give a short talk, or simply bring yourself and take part in the discussion and make new connections.
In a time where folks are so close yet so distant, our mission (as always) is to fan the flames of community spirit and encourage collaboration and informed critique.
We have a Patreon to help cover expenses and expand the events to new horizons! Please check out the "How to Support" section below to learn more.
ATTENTION: The submission process has changed!
Please follow the instructions below to submit your project or talk:
If you have a game you'd like to show, please submit via our submission form! Since there are limited spaces for demos, please act quickly. If you set up your game at the event without asking first, we will ask you to put it away. All projects are welcome, especially work in progress! If we have any concerns about the content or form of your project, we are willing to work with you to find an effective way to present it at The Loaf. All kinds of games are valid (including tabletop and physical) but you are generally responsible for bringing and caring for your own hardware.
If you'd like to give a talk, we are looking for three microtalks (10 min each) and one keynote talk (20 min talk and 10 min Q&A). We welcome the weird and conceptual to the niche and precise. Please send your submissions to TheLoafVT [at] gmail [dot] com for approval. It doesn't have to have slides, even something as broad as "I love car games" could be a talk, and it was actually the first talk we had. Submit at our submission form and select which kind of talk you'd like to give!
This is an alcohol-free event to allow for students and high school age folks to attend. Hobbyists, career developers, and the simply curious are all welcome.
