About Us
Stuck on a Game Project? Find Your Team.
Game Developer Malang (GDM) was founded in 2015 to connect game creators in East Java. Whether you're looking for playtesters, need honest feedback, or want to join a game jam, this is your place.
No one is turned away. Our members include developers, artists, students, lecturers, journalists, content creators, enthusiasts, and local government representatives, all sitting at the same table.
We hold events both in-person in Malang, East Java (at co-working spaces and cafés) and online. Many game jams and workshops are hybrid so people from outside Malang can participate.
