Taipei Game Developers Forum

Taipei Game Developers Forum Official Site

Taipei Game Developers Forum, abbreviated TGDF, is an international conference founded by the local game developer communities, with IGDA Taiwan as a co-organizer. Each year we try to invite a good number of domestic and international game developers, discussing a wide variety of topics ranging from the development experiences, programming techniques and visual arts, to community building, market trends and more. By conducting this forum, we aim to create an open-minded and experience-exchanging environment, in order to improve the condition of our game industry, and encourage international collaborations.
