Waypoint Constellations
Tuesday 14 October from 5pm to 11:55pm
Waypoint Constellations is an evening of talks, games, live music, and weird art to celebrate Sydney’s game-making scene. Constellations puts a focus on the people behind the vital and crucial works that are pioneering game-making in Sydney.
Featuring stories behind games made locally in Sydney by the important people behind them. Come along with us on a 1.5 hour journey as we listen to developers tell their stories and showcase their craft.
Alongside talks, a game showcase curated by Serenade and Waypoint featuring a selection of locally produced games with booths that show the behind-the-scenes of the making of the games.
Live music and DJing will also be happening after the talks of the evening, with drinks available from the bar.
