Solent Video Game Developers Meetup!

Come hang out with local game developers for an evening of games, conversation, and general dev-adjacent chaos at Brewhouse & Kitchen.

Hosted by Antivenin Games and Solent Video Game Developers (SVGD), this is a relaxed, social meetup for people who make games, want to make games, or are just quietly obsessed with them.

Expect a mix of chatting about what you’re working on, swapping war stories, meeting new people, and accidentally staying longer than you meant to.

No talks.
No pitching.
No awkward icebreakers.
Just a bunch of game devs in a room, being human.

Whether you’re a student, hobbyist, indie dev, industry veteran, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here.

If you’ve been before, you know the vibe. If you haven’t, it’s friendly, informal, and very low-pressure.

Coming on your own is completely normal. People do it all the time. You will be adopted within minutes.

• Game developers at any stage
• Artists, programmers, designers, writers, producers
• Graduates and newcomers curious about making games
• Anyone interested in the local games scene

You do not need a finished project to attend.

There is limited parking available at the venue, with options of on-road parking nearby. There is also a nearby Sainsbury's Car Park and Westbridge Road Car Park off Portswood Road.

Brewhouse & Kitchen has a full food and drinks menu available throughout the evening.

Food and drinks can be purchased directly from the venue.

This is intended to be a friendly, inclusive, low-pressure space. Please be respectful of the venue, staff, and other attendees. If you have access needs or questions ahead of time, feel free to get in touch via Eventbrite.

Solent Game Developers is a community-led group focused on supporting and connecting people making games across the Solent region. Our events prioritise openness, respect, and building a healthy local games scene.

Limited space available, so booking ahead is strongly recommended
