Thanks to everyone who joined us for our fall kick-off event with Neil Druckmann. The IGDA Toronto 2014 season is in full swing with October’s event on choosing the funding source that’s right for you (if any!)

Where: Metro Hall 55 John Street Room 308
When: Tuesday October 15th 7:30 PM
Speaker: Jason Della Rocca
Cost: Zero coins
Just a few years ago, the only source of funding for game development was a publisher. Now that other sources of finance are entering the industry (e.g., venture capital, crowdfunding, grants, incubators), there are many more options and approaches available for indies to fund their projects and studios.

Former IGDA Excutive Director and current Execution Labs co-founder Jason Della Rocca will cover these options in detail, along with the best approach to raise funds given your current state. Pros and cons will be covered to ensure a much needed dose of reality.

Social to follow nearby at ~9pm.
