Animation and Games Development specialist group

We’re a community of IT professionals and enthusiasts who are passionate about animation and games.

Welcome to our group!

If you are interested in serious games and of social games, then you’ll be joining likeminded people. Our group is made up of industrial and business developers, to academics, teachers, students and users.

We arrange meetings, hold games jams, run various competitions all to do with games development.

If you want to get involved or have any ideas for our forthcoming programme, please do get in touch at groups@bcs.uk.

We look forward to seeing you at our next event.
