Malaysia
Welcome to IGDA Malaysia Chapter.
Holding up IGDA mission, IGDA Malaysia Chapter objectives are to support game developers in Malaysia. Although, the largest group is mainly located around Kuala Lumpur, but we have game developers from other part of Malaysia being involved with IGDA Malaysia Chapter. Our modus operandi is pretty simple, we strongly believe about an open book management concept and we encourage members to help the chapter through any viable means.
