What is Alberta Makes Games?

AlbertaMakesGames.com (@abmakesgames) is a project by Craig Pfau (board member of the non-profit Calgary Game Developers Association).

The goals are to:

  • catalog all video games & board games created in Alberta
  • list student, meetup and interest groups
  • list learning and industry events
  • provide resources for making games
  • list studios, developers and artists
  • create developer spotlight interviews
  • compile detailed stats on the game industry in Alberta
  • retweet and generate as much viewership for projects
  • create a community

Where Does My Money Go?

The money collected from Patreon will go towards the operations of the AlbertaMakesGames.com website. Any additional money will be used to make AMG better or buy me a coffee when I’m pulling a late night putting data together.

 

Are There Any Rewards?

There are currently two different “rewards”:

  • In-development content will be available to patrons.
  • From time to time I may receive game keys from local developers which I will do draws for.

I will not lock completed content behind a paywall.

Craig Pfau

I'm Craig. I advocate for game developers in Alberta, Canada. It's been my hobby for quite some time. I created the Calgary Game Developers meetup group in 2013, co-founded the Calgary Game Developers NPO in 2015, ran Global Game Jam Calgary from 2016 to 2020 and created this project, Alberta Makes Games, in 2018. Thanks for checking out local games!
