Nightjar Collective helps indie game developers create games as a form of artistic expression.

Your game is a work of art!

About us

Nightjar is a non-profit organization striving to be a democratic game publisher. To be precise, we are a local community of weird game makers who care deeply about the artistry of video games.

Our Values

  • Games as art
  • Cooperation
  • Active inclusion

Our Aim

We support game makers that care about making good games, not just good commercial products. By working locally we create space and opportunity for game makers to pursue their passion. Under Nightjar, no idea is too out there.

We want to see more people thinking about the experience of their games, not just the businesses that grow around them. Simply put, we are dedicated to doing our part in carving out a space for games as an artistic and cultural craft.

What we offer

Nightjar currently provides a community (join our Discord server!) as well as free consultations to workshop and refine your games and your ideas.

In the future, we also hope to provide material support, a greater selection of events and a showcase program. We are already planning workshops, presentations and hangouts to look out for in the near future!
