A community-led effort to help new devs feel seen, supported, and straight-up unstoppable.

​

Develop Brighton can be magical… but also overwhelming. If it’s your first time, you might be wondering:

​

Where do I go?

Who do I talk to?

Am I even meant to be here?

​

That’s where the Lighthouse Initiative comes in.
We’ve gathered a crew of experienced devs — the Lighthouses — who will be proudly wearing their badges and lighting the way through the noise.

​

Spot a Lighthouse? Say:

 

“Hello Lighthouse.”

That’s your open invite to strike up a chat, ask for tips, share your goals, or just feel a little less alone in a sea of lanyards.

​

Our Lighthouses are here to help you:

​

• Navigate side events, parties, and talks

• Find the people you need to meet

• Get real advice from devs who’ve been through it

• Feel welcome, seen, and part of something bigger

​

Why We’re Doing This

 

Because community isn’t just something we say, it’s something we build.
No gatekeeping.

No cliques.

Just good people looking out for each other.

​

Whether you’re making your first game or pitching your tenth, you belong here, and we want you to thrive, not just survive.
