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.

To find out more about the Unity Developer Day tour, please check our blog post: https://blogs.unity3d.com/2018/04/10/unity-developer-day-2018-tour/

September is here, and Indie games have taken the Nintendo Switch by storm! So why not dedicate this month’s event to Indies on Nintendo Switch, or as Nintendo likes to call them, “Nindies”?

Starting at 3PM on September 21st, we will be meeting up at Waypoint Cafe, as we celebrate nindies that are on the Nintendo Switch. We will have tons of select games for people to play:

– Pocket Rumble
– Wizard of Legend
– Runbow
– Enter the Gungeon
– Crawl
– Graceful Explosion Machine
– Jackbox Party Pack 1-4
– Use Your Words
– Overcooked 2
– Blade Strangers
– Light Fingers
– Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes
– Flat Heroes
– Human: Fall Flat

And Many More!

We will be rotating each game, so everyone would have a chance to try out different Nindie titles!

To get to Waypoint Cafe, take the D Train to Grand St. From there, it’s a five minute walk to Ludlow St. After you reach Ludlow, make a left turn, and it’s a very short walk. You could also take the F Train to Delancey St. From there, it’s a three minute walk to Ludlow.

Please be mindful, and respect other patrons at Waypoint Cafe, as well as the management. We also urge anyone attending the event not to bring outside food to the venue.

We hope that you are able to join us, as we look forward to having you with us!
