Louisville's vibrant creative community extends beyond traditional arts, now making significant strides in the gaming industry. For more than ten years, Louisville Makes Games (LMG) has played a pivotal role in fostering local talent among video game and tabletop game developers. This non-profit organization is dedicated to supporting artists and storytellers, providing them with the resources and community needed to thrive.

Glenn Essex, a key figure in the organization, emphasizes the importance of collaboration within the local gaming scene. "Louisville Makes Games is focused on creating an inclusive environment where developers can come together to share ideas and resources," he explains. This commitment to community has led to the expansion of LMG, which has recently found a new home to further its mission.

The new space is expected to enhance collaboration and provide more opportunities for workshops, events, and networking, solidifying Louisville's position as a burgeoning hub for game development. The future looks bright for local creators as they continue to innovate and inspire within the gaming landscape.
