A note from Reddit, a local is putting together a game developer meetup in Red Deer and I encourage you to check it out.

Hello!

We are looking for anyone who makes games or is interested in doing so. The gaming industry is growing in Alberta and we are hoping that we can grow it right here.

Who are we? A handful of game devs working on indie and AA projects who call Red Deer home.

The goal is to have monthly meetups to socialize and have some industry talks. Helping make the connections and gain the knowledge needed for success in the industry and life.

If this interests you feel free to reach out to us, if you are a student (Especially at Polytechnic) we would like to connect with your teachers to help students get into the industry after graduation.

This is all early in development so feel few to ask any questions and tell us your suggestions.
