6:15 PM – KICK OFF
Welcome to the Christchurch Game Developers Meetup, with news from around New Zealand!
6:30 PM – Cosplay as a Game Artist
(Talk originally presented at GDC 2025)
Do you think the characters from your game are rad but are not sure if they would translate well to cosplay? Well, look no further than talking to a cosplayer to get the inside scoop on how your current designs hold up! This talk will go over how learning about clothing and picking up cosplay can improve your own character designs, cross industry skills, and what cosplayers want artists to know about our craft.
7:00 PM – PIZZA
Enjoy some refreshments (AKA pizza) and catch up with/meet other game dev enthusiasts.
