What is 40 Days 2 Dev?
Do you want to make video games and grow in a
faith focused community during the Lenten Season?
That’s what 40 Days 2 Dev is all about. We will have three main meetings, constant communication on Discord and Trello, and by Easter Sunday we will have a mini game that you will have helped create from the ground up.
Our first meeting will be March 4th
We will brainstorm ideas, decide on what game to make and assign tasks
Our second meeting will be March 25th
We will figure out how we want to finalize the game and assign tasks
Our third and final meeting will be on April 1st
We will discuss the game and how this event can grow in the future
