Games Made Open 2025
It’s That Time Again!
On Sunday June 15, 2025 the TTLMakerspace will be hosting our second annual day-long event “Games Made Open”. It’s a celebration of the vast creativity in gaming and the power of play, and an introduction to the incredible free open-source tools anyone can use right now.
Jump Into Open Source!
It is a full day event with workshops and fun things to do, all based on free open-source tech you can use right now. Maybe you’ve heard of tools like Blender or Godot and wondered where to get started. Or hardware is your thing and you’d like an intro to CAD modelling in FOSS, or electronics that let you make your own controller. It’s all here!
Take a look at the growing lineup:
Ready, Set, Godot!
Speedrun making your first game in the popular Godot game engine! From zero you’l hit the gas and take a guided tour through the features of this incredible software, emerging at the end with your first game – made entirely in open-source!
GBStudio Cart Workshop!
Holy cow – you can make your very own working Gameboy cartridge in GBStudio! From start to finish, you’ll learn how to use this awesome software to fulfil your gamer dreams of making your very own working physical cartridge.
