We're heading to San Francisco for GDC 2016!

On May 13th, San Francisco played host to 3D Web Fest.

PlayCanvas is passionate about education and many universities throughout the world are already using PlayCanvas to teach videogame development skills. One such school is ENTI, which is attached to the University of Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain.

Last Thursday we hosted an event for around 50 members of the London HTML5 Game Development community at our Idea London office. After striking a deal with Papa John's, we had a great talk from Amazon's Jesse Freeman and caught up with a community that we are proud to be a part of.

Last Friday night PlayCanvas resident artist Philippa Moore took our game SWOOOP up to Dalston to the London Game Space. The event?

LadyCADE, a casual and friendly gathering for people who make and enjoy games...and who happen to be women.

PlayCanvas was proud to be one of the partners for this weekend's Great British Summer Game Jam. An event put together by Autodesk and Mind Candy where a group of extremely talented game developers got together over a weekend, teamed up and built a game in just 20 hours!

This week, thousands of indie developers are making their way to Malmö, Sweden for a very special conference. That's right folks - Nordic Game is here again!

Last week, I did a talk at the London Game Space about game development trends and how it is influencing what we are doing at PlayCanvas.

CEO Will Eastcott at SXSW Accelerator

This past week the PlayCanvas founders have been deep in the heart of Texas at the celebrated mega-festival SXSW. We were chosen from over 500 companies to pitch to a enormous room full of business leads, journalists and tech enthusiasts. Will was on stage and we wowed them successfully enough to get through the final 3. Sadly another talented start-up crew beat us to the No. 1 slot, but a close 2nd is still pretty damn good.

We've moved on from Austin now, and we're in San Francisco preparing plenty of exciting news and demos for the Game Developer Conference. We look forward to sharing lots more stuff with you this week!

This last week was a frenzy of activity from the PlayCanvas founders. We trekked all over the UK to teach new people about PlayCanvas with demos and workshops.
