Play NYC returns for their second year at a new location and new venue. Sponsored by Rupie Land which is a community infused game development platform,driven by creators and players.

I spoke with Jonathan Tzou who is the co-founder and CMO of Rupie before the doors opened to let in the gamers and he told me that the company played a major role in getting a lot of these gaming developers here, helping them financially and connecting them with the right people, to get closer to finishing up their games.

Playcrafting provides developers with the tools required to get their games off the ground, with classes and mini developing conventions, through out the year.

The diversity in creators at this years gaming convention speaks volumes on why this is needed more than ever in New York City and what these communities have done to help the independent game developer.
