The Saftladen logo. It's an organge holding a gamepad.
As we all know the game industry is going through very turbulent times, unfortunately this has also affected several members of our collective. The silver lining is that one of the largest rooms in our coworking space in Berlin will be available from September 1st.

View more about this event at A MAZE. / Berlin 2025
The session will take place on Friday from 14:30 to 16:00
The talk can be about anything โ it's only 5 minutes so it's ok to go hyper specific / weird / talk about something that is not exactly related to games

Can't believe I've done this shit 50 times
I'm not going to say it's one of the biggest, consistently running game-related meetups in the world... but I think it is?
Not counting meetups in bars where people only mingle and network, which is different than what we've been doing with #TalkAndPlay

Studio Fizbin logo on a white background.
Our name comes from a fabled magic trick, because gamedev often feels like an impossible feat of conjuration. But every magic show has an end, and after 14 years, Studio Fizbin will be winding down operations this spring after releasing Reignbreaker.
