Nasscom Build Your Own Game 2011 November 10, 2011

Indie GameDev India partners with NASSCOM Gaming & Animation Forum to organise the first major BYOG in India at the national level. We are "Indie Partners" of the upcoming NASSCOM Game Developer Conference 2011 in Pune and contributing in building the indie content at the conference.

What is BYOG?

Build Your Own Game (BYOG) is a development sprint in which game developers get together, team up and make games. 3 BYOGs have been organised since July 2010. A BYOG usually stretches over a period of 48hrs in which teams do focussed game development sprints. A BYOG is very useful in creating prototypes and/or proof of concepts to showcase and pitch game ideas.

The NASSCOM Gaming & Animation Forum is committed to the nurturing of the game development initiatives in India and annually organises a game developer conference as one of its many initiatives to achieve this objective. The 3rd edition of the NASSCOM Game Developer Conference is scheduled for November 11-12, 2011 at Pune. The conference also serves as the venue for the BYOG.
