Building a Contented Game Community
Bringing perspectives from across indie, AAA and everything inbetween, Hannah, Stevie and Abbie will discuss the strategies which have helped them form and grow successful, contented communities. We’ll look at the values behind communities, how to enact them in your rules, and how to maintain a welcoming atmosphere as your community reaches maturity.
Takeaway:
- How to structure a new community space to set it up for success
- How to maintain interest in a community between releases
- What do to when your community isn’t gelling well
I really like Develop, I really like the intimacy of it and I love the location.. there’s a good diversity of talks going on so there hasn’t been a time when there’s nothing I want to see.
Brenda Romero

By coming to Develop what you get is the opportunity to network like you can’t in any other situation. Everyone knows everyone and it’s such a wonderful community feel.
Jessica Saunders
Salix Games
It’s really nice to see some of the younger people in our studio come to Develop, interact with other people in the dev community and make new contacts. I think it’s really important to learn from other people.
Abbie Heppe
Media Molecule
One of the things I like about Develop is it brings people together from across Europe and the whole world. There is a very high level of professionals here, so you have company leaders having drinks with juniors from their community.

Develop always gets put in the diary. There are many reasons to be here, not just the talks, but the networking, people exchanging ideas about where the industry is right now and where it’s going to. It’s pretty essential to be here I think.
Ian Livingstone, CBE
I’ve felt a big passion here at Develop!
Tetsuya Mizuguchi
Enhance Games
There’s really something for everyone at Develop and the experience of being around like-minded people is really useful.
Grace Carroll

It’s fantastic to have such an event that provides this opportunity for all the game devs, indie devs and other organisations to get together to showcase what they do, meet and interact.
