The G.R.I.D.
Structured playtesting. Industry feedback.
Game development is a wild ride—full of big wins, tough challenges, and everything in between. Some of the best advice comes from chatting with other devs who’ve been through it too. Getting real feedback while you’re still building can spark new ideas and help push your game to the next level.
The G.R.I.D. is a welcoming, behind-the-scenes space where indie devs, studios, and solo creators can show off their games, get honest, helpful feedback, and keep improving—no matter what stage the game’s in. It’s all about structure, support, and moving your project forward with fresh eyes and solid input.
