GameDev Day 2025 Is Back in October!

Anna Ruban

Game development is more than just code – it’s about creativity, storytelling, and community. That’s why we’re bringing back JetBrains GameDev Day on October 21, 2025, to celebrate all aspects of game creation with developers worldwide.

This free, one-day online event is shaped entirely by the community. Think of it as a developer’s cheat code: one full day packed with sessions covering the tools and workflows that power modern game development.

Our speakers are professionals who are passionate about their craft, and they’ll share insights that you can immediately put into practice – from improving developer workflows to designing for inclusivity, from building scalable systems to rethinking game architecture.

Agenda highlights

Here’s just a preview of what you can expect:

• Beyond OOP: A Journey from Cache Misses to MASM – Konrad Słoń, Senior Gameplay Programmer at Fool’s Theory
• Building a Cross-Platform In-Game Store With Godot – Johannes Ebner, Gaming Solution Architect at Structed.me
• Introduction to Netcode for Entities – Johnny Thompson, Developer and Content Creator at Turbo Makes Games 
• Mobile Accessibility: Building Accessible Mobile Games – Gian Wild, CEO at AccessibilityOz
• Optimizing for the Web: Lessons From Browser-Based Games – Dom Harris, Web Games Advocate at CrazyGames

…and many more talks from leading voices in the industry.

What’s new this year: local watch parties

This year, we’re also launching local watch parties. These meetups let you co-watch the stream with fellow developers in your city, creating opportunities to connect face-to-face while being part of a global event.

How to join

The event will be streamed live on YouTube, and all sessions will be available on demand afterward, so you won’t miss a thing. Whether you attend just a few talks or the entire event, you’ll come away with new tools, insights, and inspiration.

Save your spot today and be part of the global gamedev community: 

Don’t miss your chance to join thousands of game developers on October 21, 2025. The game is about to begin!
