GDN Group Finder System

We know how difficult forming teams can be, especially for beginners! To help make this process easier, we have created a bot based entirely on Discord where you can create a profile with information such as your role, experience, teammate preferences, time commitment and so much more! 

Our bot's fancy algorithm will then get to work on finding you your perfect team! 

To use our Group Finder, head over the #group-finder channel in GameDevNetwork.

You must have filled in a post in #introductions to see the channel

We are delighted to have Mastered with us as this year's festive jam sponsor. In addition to offering some fantastic prizes, they are also pledging a generous ยฃ1000 donation to SpecialEffect, a charity we have worked with over a number of years to offer new levels of accessibility to those with physical disabilities. 

Donation Link: https://www.specialeffect.org.uk/donate

Mastered are a U.K.-based Unreal, Unity, and Autodesk-authorised training centre, that supports games programmers and artists into new jobs, or into more senior roles within their existing company. 

They specialise in flexible online/remote training talent from the creative industries, 1-2-1 teaching, soft skills, mindset coaching, and working with candidates from underrepresented backgrounds, and are approved by the U.K. Department for Education to provide fully and part-funded skills and jobs-focused training.

Since 2015 they have trained over 5,000 creative professionals from 95 different countries, as well as delivered management training to creative companies such as Louis Vuitton across Europe, America, and China.
