100 games. 800 players. 1 night. And pizza. Join us for our next big Expo on May 3rd at Microsoft!

Over 200 game developers will be showing off their latest games one-on-one to a crowd of 800 people. For developers, this is a great opportunity to show off their games (finished or unfinished) and get direct feedback from players. For everyone else, it’s a unique opportunity to try out the biggest collection of games made in and around NYC all in one place. Each game gets its own booth as players meet the developers and try out their games. Throw pizza into the mix and you get Playcrafting’s biggest event!

Info session & mini expo for Playcrafting’s upcoming Learn Unity in 8 Weeks course.

Learn everything you need to know about our upcoming course and play games built with Unity and meet former Playcrafting students. In the course, you’ll create 4 games in 8 weeks. No coding experience necessary. Students are required to bring a laptop with Unity installed. The software can be downloaded for free online. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to build your game idea in Unity and export it to the platform of your choice.

Live game demos. Playtime. Pizza.

Playcrafting is the place to see and play the newest independent games being made in New York and meet the people who built them. Join us to watch developers show off their latest games and describe the process of making them. Be among the first to play some of the most innovative games to come out of New York’s vibrant community of game developers. 

Join our community of game developers, designers, creatives, investors and more building across multiple platforms and genres. Enjoy complimentary pizza as you meet the developers and network with game professionals from throughout our local community. Hope you can make it!

The annual Unity Developer Day conference tour is returning to New York City — join us for an exciting day of development talks, games, and more at Unity Developer Day: New York this September 8th!

Unity Developer Day is a conference series dedicated to supporting local developers through the exchange of stories and skills that promote the creation of successful Unity games and interactive media.

Our New York edition brings together local game creators and Unity staff to share their expertise through two full-day conference tracks, networking lunch, and showcase of local games and projects made with Unity. 

Expert Unity evangelists and staff will give talks focused on how local developers can get the most out of their work with Unity and its services. They’ll cover topics like Unity’s Entity Component System / C# Job System, Shader Graph, Machine Learning, Scriptable Render Pipeline, Photogrammetry, & more!

Local speakers will share experiences and insights gained throughout the creation of their Unity games – be it through programming, design, art, audio, business, and more.

In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re proud to present a special event featuring an all-women lineup of developers presenting their games, plus a panel of pros talking about inclusivity for women in the games industry. After the panel, attendees will have a chance to play each game with the developers behind them and connect with our panelists.

The evening may be a celebration of women in games, but all genders are encouraged to join. Children are welcome to attend as well but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. Hope you can make it!
