We're a community & coworking space for game developers and interactive artists in the NY Capital Region. Make games, make friends, make a difference! Our mission is to encourage and enable everyone in the NY Capital Region to create games. TVGS is a volunteer-driven and member-supported nonprofit organization founded on the principle that games and game making are for everyone. We work together to foster a more diverse, approachable, and thriving game development community in the upstate NY. The centerpiece of these efforts is our location in Troy NY, which serves as a coworking venue, communal hub, and safe space where game makers of all backgrounds and experience levels can gather to collaborate, share knowledge, and support one another. We constantly strive to increase the accessibility of mentorship and skill-building opportunities by developing classes and diversity-focused education programs for independent and aspiring creators.
