Don’t forget, there’s Google Calendar, in which you can check out all of the events here in one handy, downloadable place!
You can also submit news about Toronto/GTA games and events to calendar@handeyesociety.com at any time before the month in which the event takes place (preferably with a week to spare), post to our Facebook Group (as long as it’s relevant to local games/playful media and doesn’t violate our Code of Conduct), or @ us on Twitter for a RT.

~I am looking for people that have experience actually building games that want to make a difference. We have something small out right now but I want to create an actual game we continue to get actual market feedback. We’re looking for someone proficient in game development, python, java, front end and back end uI UX development. I do not have any prior work but this is something meaningful to me that I really think we can make work. – Colby Sharma
~Want top notch (and cost effective) original music and sound design for your Game or Animation? I´d love to help! Check me out! — Thiago Gobet
~Where’s my French at? Are you a game developer whose game is about to launch and for which you want to do a multilingual release?
Are you now thinking of localizing to increase your market and revenue, now that your game has shipped?
Are you still in development, and feeling stuck because the grant you are applying for requires you to offer a French version?
I’d love to help! Hit me up! — Benoît Esmein
~Hi, I’m Marcus Mowat, music producer at Point Nine Records and I’m looking to help fellow gamers/designers out by writing songs and providing audio ingenuity geared specifically for video games.
