Game Dev Enthusiasts Gather in Łódź
In the last week of June, the EXPO Hall in Łódź was filled with passionate game developers. The National Team-Based Game Development Competition is the largest academic game development event in Poland. It offers young creators the chance to present their games, artistic works, and animations to experienced developers and artists. It’s a unique opportunity to meet with other creators and key representatives of the Polish game development industry.
