International Game Developers Association
Résumé
The International Game Developers Association (IGDA) is a nonprofit professional association whose stated mission is to "support and empower game developers around the world in achieving fulfilling and sustainable careers."
The IGDA is incorporated in the United States as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organisation. It has over 12,000 members from all fields of game development. In recognition of the wide-ranging, multidisciplinary nature of interactive entertainment, everyone who participates in any way in the game development process is welcome to join the IGDA.
The beginnings of the IGDA emerged from several other organisations for computer game developers which were forming in the late 1980s and early 1990s:
The Computer Game Designers Symposium, later known as the Computer Game Developers Conference, was started in 1988 by Chris Crawford. He had already been producing a bimonthly newsletter for game developers, The Journal of Computer Game Design, since 1987. One of the subscribers, game programmer Nicky Robinson, suggested that he hold a gathering. Crawford took her suggestion, made announcements in two issues of the journal, and hosted the first event in April 1988 in his living room in San Jose, California.
The Los Angeles Computer Game Developers meetings, 1989–1991, created by Richard Pferdner and David Walker
The Bay Area Computer Entertainment Developers meetings, 1991–1993, created by Tim Brengle and David Walker, which met monthly
In 1992, in response to a need for a professional organisation, Brengle and Walker also created the Computer Entertainment Developers Association. Dues were $75/year, and included a subscription to Crawford's Journal of Computer Game Design. CEDA gained members both locally and internationally.
Crawford's living room event in April 1988, the CGDC, had brought in 26 or 27 game developers. It was such a success that on the spot a steering committee was formed to host a larger event six months later at a Holiday Inn in Milpitas, California, which drew 127 developers.
