Next Event: Toronto Game Dev Hangout ☕🎮

Entry: $10

A relaxed, casual meetup to connect, chat, and share what you’re working on—open to everyone from “I just installed Unity yesterday” to “I ship games for a living.”

📍 Toronto 🧑‍💻 All disciplines welcome 🛠️ Any engine 🎙️ Podcast vibes
  • ☕
    Free coffee & snacks Fuel your build. Blame your bugs on the espresso.
  • 🍻
    BYOB welcome Cheaper than a bar and way more likely to involve shader talk.
  • 📽️
    Projector for demos Show a game, a prototype, a trailer… or a PowerPoint called “Why My AI Pathfinding Hates Me.”
  • 🪑
    Private space with seating Tables, chairs, and enough room to gesture wildly while explaining your ECS architecture.
  • 🎶
    Light background music Lo-fi beats to ship builds to (or at least to think about shipping builds).

Bring a laptop or project if you’d like—no pressure to present. Come hang out and be part of Toronto’s game dev community! 🚀

💸 Pay at the door: cash or e-transfer 📌 Hosted on Meetup (but open beyond RSVP)

What we do (aka: excuses to ship)

Input Lag is built for indie devs, solo devs, and small studios who want community without the pressure. Come as you are. Show a prototype or just lurk. Both are valid dev states.

  • 🤝
    Meetups & hangouts Low-pressure networking where “networking” means talking about your current obsession.
  • ⏱️
    Game jams Short deadlines, big creativity, and at least one cursed mechanic that somehow works.
  • 🧪
    Workshops Hands-on sessions: tools, pipelines, art tricks, audio, marketing, business… you name it.
  • 🎙️
    Podcast & interviews Spotlighting small devs with big stories. The “how it started” AND the “how it’s going.”
✨ Beginners welcome 🧠 Feedback-friendly 🕹️ Any engine 🎨 Any discipline

Podcast: “Input Lag” 🎧

Coming soon: short, fun episodes with indie devs, jam teams, and tiny studios—what they’re making, what they’ve learned, and what broke the night before launch.

🗣️
Want to be featured? We love demos, devlogs, and war stories (especially the ones that end in a fix).
