Welcome to Handmade Cities!
|
|
|
|
Many of us are [systems programmers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_programming), and we're often *really* into making video games, but we're also a community of software professionals who **adore the craft in general** and **care about quality**. If you embody our ethos one way or another you're more than welcome here.

It wouldn't be **Quickstart** if this page kept droning on, so the two fastest ways to jump in are:
|
|
1. [Subscribe](https://handmadecities.com/meetups) to a local meetup near you
|
|
2. [Submit](https://handmadecities.com/revolt) an application to join our [chat server](/docs/chat)
|
|
|
|
You might also [volunteer](/docs/contributing/volunteer) to help us succeed. We'll see you soon!
