SAZ Game Designers Association launches Netherlands chapter

The SAZ Game Designers Association has launched a new chapter focused on the Netherlands.

SAZ Nederland is its second group outside of Germany after SAZ Italia launched back in 2017.

“This was the logical consequence after the number of members in the Netherlands had developed positively in recent years,” said SAZ Manager Hans-Peter Stoll.

“The SAZ Nederland can build on the already proven structures of the Spellenmaakgilde, which was founded by Arjan van Houwelingen back in 2015. He is now also the spokesman of the SAZ Nederland.

“The Spellenmaakgilde has been active in recent years with the organization of game tests, weekend meetings, pitching conventions, game jams and design award. With the founding of SAZ Nederland, these activities will now be taken to a new level, as well as strengthening the international presence of SAZ as an interest group for game authors.”
