Good Community: Shape the Future of Gaming during Black History Month
In honor of Black History Month, we want to spotlight organizations that value the true meaning of #GoodCommunity and how important it is to uplift the next generation of gamers and game developers.
Building a #GoodCommunity takes a village. The groups we’re featuring this month are led and supported by Black professionals in gaming who want to empower folks new to the industry. We’re excited to see the games industry growing and reflecting the diversity of our players and communities. We invite you to follow and support these organizations for making this possible:
ATX Game Makers
ATX Game Makers is a non-profit community dedicated to helping increase diversity in the games industry. Since 2019 the ATX Game Maker community has grown to include hundreds of working professionals and hobbyist developers, supporting each other in both their professional careers and indie game development.
