The Playtecher Community

First and foremost Playtecher is a meeting ground for app programmers, game programmers, designers, engineers, musicians, marketeers and more. Through our forums, and our activities, we seek to help our members hone their skills, meet new people to collaborate with or just learn new skills from. Run by a commercial company, Playtecher AS in Gjøvik, Norway, Playtecher will also seek to help its members reach a worldwide audience through promotion, publishing, connections and in the future, financing and incubators.

THE fORUM

The Playtecher hub will first of all be its forum, where user can connect and share work and ideas, as well as instigate projects and events.

MEET UPS

Virtual meetings are good, but in person meet ups will often bring forward new possibilities and connections. Playtecher will have its own facilities featuring regular meet ups.

PRESENTATIONS

Seeing is believing. When possible, or when faith lands us opportunities that cannot be ignored, Playtecher will host presentations from known and/or not so known personalities or groups that can shed new light on subjects, experiences or other relevant material of value.

MOVIES/documentaries

On a regular basis we will showcase and view a movie or a a documentary, often with a discussion or loose chat before and after. Social and fun (and at times educational).

THE APP

Playtecher will have its own app. In the app you will find relevant links, a complete schedule for all happenings, direct links to all published games, apps, art, music and products. Makes it easy to take Playtecher with you in your pocket. We also intend this app to be of value to our parttners, including NTNU.

EVENTS

Now and then we will host or help host events. Be it a LAN, and exhibiton, or a promotional event for community products.

EASY TO REACH HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE

We will strive to make Playtecher accessible and useable on most of your hardware. But the heart of it all will first and foremost be the Forum. The forum will be launched during the second quarter of 2016. And later in 2016 we will launch our review site, that will feature news and reviews on a diversity of relvant technologies and products, with the aim to inpspire and connect our community to the ins and outs of new technology and findings.
