Here’s what’s waiting for you:

🎤 18:15 - Jai: Jak vypadá jazyk herního vývojáře Jonathana Blowa? by Patrik Smělý (Apparently Studio)
A deep dive into the Jai programming language and what it means for modern game development.

🎤 19:15 - Jako začínat odznova - vývoj her pro virtuální realitu by Jindřich Skeldal (Skeldal Immersive)
Building for VR means rethinking everything. What does it take to start from scratch in immersive worlds?

🔥 20:00 - Live discussion: Jan Modrák & Jiří Bigas
An open, live conversation to close the evening - thoughtful, sharp, and interactive.

Times are approximate - we’ll keep things flowing naturally, so expect a bit of flexibility.

Expect inspiring talks, practical insights, and great networking with fellow game developers.
