Greater Peterborough's indie games and creative-tech ecosystem

People in Games | PinG is a grassroots indie games and creative-tech community based in Greater Peterborough. We bring together game devs, students, and creatives through events, collaboration, and hands-on support for emerging indie practice.

Connect - A community for everyone
Students, hobbyists, experienced game devs, and creatives are all welcome. No gatekeeping, just people who care about making games and supporting each other.
Create - Centring underrepresented voices
A space where diverse perspectives are heard, supported, and celebrated. Better stories, better teams, and better games start with inclusive creativity.
Level up - Connecting the local ecosystem
A bridge between students, indie teams, educators, and industry partners. Together we're building something lasting for Peterborough and the wider region.
