Every Thursday at 7p.m. in Philadelphia, gamers come together to design, create and play games. It\u2019s called Philly Dev Night<\/a> and the group has been quietly creating a supportive, exciting indie gaming scene in Philly.<\/p>\n


\nIt all started when Will of Cipher Prime Studios<\/a> and Shawn of OriGaminc<\/a> wanted to hang out and have fun while also work shopping the various game ideas they had. So the two friends scheduled a regular day and time every week and they invited a few other friends. Now, Philly Game Night is a force to be reckoned with in the indie gaming scene. Along with the weekly development night, they host monthly Game Jams, charity events, tournaments and a book club.<\/p>\n

Philly Dev Night is held in the Cipher Prime Studios<\/a> in Old City. At first glance, Dev Night might look more like a house party\u2014lots of people, lots of laughing and trash talking over game tables. The event is open is everyone: writers, programmers, designers, even if you\u2019re not working on a game, hanging out is strongly encouraged.<\/p>\n

Many of the best Philly games have their origins at Philly Dev Night,<\/a> including Cipher Prime\u2019s high intensity Sixteen Seconds and Cardboard Fortress\u2019<\/a> strategy card game Resistor.<\/p>\n
