Hi, I just happened on your blog through a google search, as I am desperately trying to learn about the game’s industry scenes and where to go for them. I really want to get involved with the game’s industry and get into game design. I also want to pair that with becoming involved with a game industry community. Unfortunately, I am not sure where the bulk of the industry scenes are. I live in California (San Diego area). My question is: where is the industry scene, and where in SD can I find it?

You can try using [GameDevMap] and looking in your area. The website is updated fairly frequently (last update as of this posting was Feb 16th, 2025) and it collects the various developers, publishers, mobile, online, and gaming-adjacent companies across the world. They currently have [39 different game dev studios] listed in the San Diego area.

If you're interested in finding local game developers to talk to and chat with, there's also the [International Game Developers Association] (IGDA) which is a non-profit that hosts events and get-togethers for game devs to network and learn. There is an [IGDA Chapter in San Diego] that you can reach out to - they host Game Jams, Workshops, and even Mixers to meet up and talk with folks on a monthly basis.

These are how I would start reaching out to find my the local game developer community. Cheers.
