AGDG

I joined the Albuquerque Game Developers Guild in the middle of 2021, but before that I had known one of the co-founders for years and he's one of the friendliest people I know. Not surprisingly, the group he co-founded is also welcoming.

When covid hit, a lot of the Albuquerque meetups slowly died. AGDG has an active discord server and weekly remote meetings. I don't consider myself a game developer, per-se, but poker is a game and I am a developer, so I'm not a complete rando crashing their party.
