The Christian Game Developers Conference

Directions Website Contact the organization

The Christian Game Developers Conference The Christian Game Developers Conference is an annual gathering with the purpose of encouraging game developers to be a light for Christ in their industry.

The Christian Game Developers Conference is the largest gathering with the purpose of encouraging game developers, in both software and traditional mediums, to apply Christian principles to their industry. Some developers are involved in creating games made specifically to glorify God. Others work for secular companies and are Godly influences at their place of employment. But wherever they are, they need encouragement to stand up for morality and truth in an industry that can often be fighting these ideals - and the CGDC is a great place to get that encouragement. In addition to the inspirational messages, there are also talks and workshops on topics from game design to business marketing to QA processes. At no other conference in the world can you walk out from a message on integrating Christian concepts with games and into a workshop on particle physics, discuss optimizing a website for visibility on search engines, and then hear a debate on interactive storytelling that hinges on the issues of freewill vs. predestination, or find yourself philosophizing late at night with five different Christian game designers from three different countries.

Level design is more than a map. It's how a player feels as they move through your world. Tobias brings more than 25 years in the industry and over 20 published titles, including Drakensang, Fortnite, and NBA Playgrounds, and he wrote the Game Narrative Toolbox books.

He'll be speaking at CGDC + Reach Conference, November 5-7 in Orlando, on "Archetypes, Flow, and Paper Maps - Level Design Approaches for Video Games and Tabletop."

Meet one of our CGDC + Reach Conf speakers: Justin Williams.

Justin has spent more than a decade helping build teams across the games and tech industries, including work connected to Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV. Today he leads talent acquisition at Ad Hoc, and he mentors game developers through Amir Satvat's Games Community.

He also believes you can pursue excellence without compromising your faith, and that's a big part of why we're glad he's joining us November 5-7 in Orlando.

Thousands of games reviewed. Twenty-plus years building one of the biggest communities in tabletop gaming. 🎲

Tom Vasel of The Dice Tower is coming to CGDC + Reach Conference this November 5–7 in Orlando. A former missionary and pastor who still serves his local church, Tom will talk about how tabletop games build real relationships and stronger communities, and why tabletop remains one of the fastest-growing parts of the industry.

If you design games of any kind, this is a session you'll want to be in the room for.

How do gaming's biggest brands get people talking before a single trailer even drops? Jalyssa Eliasen has spent over a decade answering exactly that question, and she's part of this year's ReachConf speaker lineup.

If you're a Christian creator, streamer, or game dev, this is one to have on your radar.

Jalyssa's built brand campaigns for names like Sony Interactive Entertainment, Riot Games, Twitch, Netflix, and IGN, helping shape how millions of players discover and connect with the games they love. She's just as invested in the Christian gaming community: she co-founded GameTalk Unlocked to connect industry professionals and recently launched the Aeternus Games Summit, bringing Christian leaders across the industry together for worship, fellowship, and real conversation about faith and excellence in gaming.

At ReachConf, she'll dig into branding, marketing, and creative strategy, giving creators, streamers, and developers practical tools to build something that actually stands out.
